Darkness. Darkness was all she could see around her. The darkness wasn't soothing or peaceful like night but suffocating and uncomfortable, making her feel claustrophobic. It was devoid of any light, any emotion, just like death. As soon as this thought crossed her mind, she chocked on her breath. She took some steps backwards and then started running. She didn't know where her legs were taking her. The only that was going on in her mind was that she somehow have to come out of this darkness. But the darkness seemed never ending. As much as she tried to get rid of it, it seems to only intensify. She was feeling completely helpless. Everything around her was drowned in pitch black darkness, blocking all her ways. She finally stopped running, panting and gasping for air. Just the moment she lost all her hope of light, a faint orange light started to surround her making a beautiful dimpled smile appear on her lips. But her relief was short-lived as the heat around her started to increase with increasing brightness of the light. Her smile vanished and her eyes widened in pure horror when she saw the same faint light now has transformed into huge hungry flames of bright red and yellow. The blazing fire seemed like a destructive monster who will destroy anything and everything which will come in its way. Pearly water droplets of utmost fear and helplessness started to fall from her eyes. She started to run again but this time wishing that it was the darkness instead of this fire which was coming behind her. It was like the Saturn himself was thirsty of her blood. Her feet came to a sudden halt as she spotted someone in front of her. She squinted her eyes to have a better view and saw a little girl was standing there amidst the deadly flames of fire, crying for help. Seeing that little girl, she didn't know why but her heart ached and she decided that she have to rescue that girl. She didn't know what filled her with this inhuman strength but she started walking towards the death trap from which she was trying to run away till now. She had almost reached the girl when all of a sudden a wall of fire appeared before her making her stumble backwards losing balance. She tripped on something and started to fall. She immediately closed her eyes waiting for her death to engulf her but strangely in stead of feeling the burning heat of fire, she felt a soothing warmth of two arms which engulfed her, preventing her fall. She slowly opened her eyes and found herself lost in the most intense eyes she has ever seen. The darkest black orbs were gazing right into her brown ones, piercing her soul and making her feel exposed. Her heart was thumping in a maddening rhythm and breathing was fast. Her mind and heart were filled with numerous questions. The feelings which she was feeling at that moment were so alien yet very much known to her. She looked in those orbs ,in search of answers but found only undying love and care for her shining in them which left her heart filled with a strange warmth and her mind with more questions. The man finally made her stand on her feet and that's when she noticed that his whole face was covered with a cloth and it was only his eyes which was visible. Not feeling the fire anymore surrounding her, she looked around to find the fire as well as the darkness gone and in place of them was a beautiful garden . Different kind of flowers were gracing the whole area, gentle breeze was blowing , birds were chirping and butterflies were flying over the flowers, in short it looked like a beautiful dream, without any traces of the horrible nightmare which she was living few moments ago. She again looked at him when she felt a soft, tender touch on her cheek. He gently cupped her face and wiped the tear drops which unknowingly has left her eyes, with his thumb-pad and nodded his head in a to and fro motion, indicating her not to cry. His eyes were filled with a strange tenderness which made heart skip a beat. She closed her eyes at his touch and opened them when she heard him speak-
- I know that I am too late but I have to tell you this. I love you. I love you more than life itself. This has always been in my heart but never got the courage to bring it to my mouth and when I got the courage today, everything is coming to an end. I know I have hurt you many times and I don't deserve an angel like you but this stupid heart of mine still can't stop loving you. This is all my fault that our story is incomplete today and everything is going to finish but I want to assure you one thing that my each breath, each heart beat has only your name and my heart and soul will always belong to you, in this lifetime and in all lifetime. I love you Zoya. I always have and I always will.
Zoya who was till now lost in his words, came out of her daze when she saw him going backwards. To her utmost fright, the darkness has returned and has started to consume her little heaven slowly. She was shaking her head vigorously to stop him but he kept going backwards. She wanted to scream at the top of her lungs , telling him to stop but no words came out of her mouth .The darkness engulfed him completely in front of her eyes and a blood curdling scream escaped her lips-
-NOOO...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Zoya woke up screaming. Her eyes were red, tears were continuously flowing from them. Her breathing was coming in short gasps and it felt like her heart was going to erupt. It was winter time but her face was covered with sweat. At that moment the dark room of hers seemed worse than hell to her. She reached for the bedside table-lamp and switched it on with great difficulty. She took the water bottle which was kept there with a violently shaking hand and drank its whole content thirstily. Exhausted, she rested her head on the head-rest and closed her eyes making few more tear drops to descend her cheeks. She opened them when she felt a little bit better and looked out of the huge window of her bedroom to find the whole Manhattan sleeping peacefully. A deep breath escaped her lips as she recalled her dream. This dream has been her companion since the time she could remember. There was rarely any night when she didn't saw this dream. She used to think that this dreams will go away with time but as the time passed, the dreams became more and more intense. She is an internationally famous painter but it felt like it was those dreams which were painting her life. But at the same time , nothing similar to that dream has ever happened in her life. She emotions she felt in those dreams were so strong that they always left her breathless with thousands of questions, questions she didn't have answers of. Sometimes she felt like those kids of the orphanage were right in calling her psycho in her childhood but sometimes felt like these dreams are some forgotten truth of her life.
Zoya shook her head to get rid of these disturbing thoughts and came out of the bed, exhaling loudly. She went to her art-studio which was right beside her bedroom and went to the canvas, taking her color pallet with her. She didn't switched on the light. The light coming through the open window from the moon was enough for her. Her hands were working like magic on the canvas though she was lost in her thoughts. Well , she didn't need to any pay attention to it, after all it has been her routine since few years after waking up from that dream. She was never able to sleep after waking up from her dream, so she decided to spent the night by painting and she always painted only one thing. When Zoya finished her work, the dawn has started to grace the world with its presence. Soft light fell on the picture and its painter highlighting the picture as well as her innocent , angelic features. It was the same intense, black eyes which she always see in her dreams.
Zoya was gazing at those eyes which were smiling at her, hiding all her answers behind them. As if in a daze, Zoya lifted her hand and gingerly stroked those eyes. Unknowingly, her heart's plea left her mouth in a soft whisper-
- Who are you?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Unknown to her, the answers of her questions, those dark black orbs , themselves were seeking answers from the almighty. Asad was watching the sun rise brightening the whole world and bringing it out o darkness while sitting on his window-sill. Though the world was still asleep but sleep was far away from his eyes. But it was nothing new to him. He has never been able to sleep after living that dream or more precisely, the emotions. It may seem weird to people after knowing that he is living with these dreams since years and still is not able to cope up with them but in reality, he has tried very hard to fight these but every time he closes his eyes, those innocent, brown eyes seem to consume his whole being. Those eyes seem to haunt him always. The pain, the questions and the love in them make him more and more restless with each passing day. The emotions he felt ere so intense that he sometimes felt like he was going to get crazy. Being one of the most successful, rich and young businessman of Las Vegas and blessed with Greek-god like looks, he never lacked female attention. In fact he had it a little too much. Though he never paid them any attention but his eyes always searched for that certain pair of eyes which he never found. His heart ached for her and his mind demanded answers of its questions which was hidden within her only. Asad sighed tiredly and opened his palm. He held it in front of his eyes to see a faint Z' nark on it. He gently grazed his fingers on it while a ghost of a sad smile rested on his lips and he mumbled to himself-
- Who are you?
