Dreams could come true
Ranveer was in a good mood. He had slept magically well for some reason. It felt like a natural high he was on. In the shower he thought back at last night's events. The new lead to the Chhabra's, his sweet and simple dinner with Priyanka. He could swear he had dreamt of her. Her beautiful face near his. Her soft lips kissing his. He smiled by thought of that happening in real life. His dream felt so real, he could almost taste her sweetness.
"Beta Ranveer...! Don't even go there.." he spoke out loud to reprimand himself, as he switched the water to a cooler temperature. He could not afford to believe in dreams, especially not when his eyes were wide open.
A dream is dream. It can never become reality. He even dreamt of his sister Ippy. This time it was different though. Not a nightmare. He would always wake up screaming, bathing in sweat by seeing her lifeless body covered in blood. But yesterday, it was for the first time he had allowed himself to be slightly positive. As if he finally dared to think of what else could have happened to her, besides death.
In his dream Ippy was alive but not able to breathe independently. If only dreams could come true. If only he would find her, he would make everything right again.
"Wake up Ranveer.. You know better than to believe in fairy tales. She is dead. And justice is what she deserves!"
Today, he was on a new mission. The Chhabra's. He needed to collect as much information as possible.
He looked in the mirror one final time. White pants, slim fitting soft pink shirt, open collar. Dark brown leather suspenders. Gun. Cuffs. Badge. Wondering what she would wear today, he reached for the final accessory to complete his outfit. With his dark sunglasses on, he was good to go.
"Shinde, I will meet you and Varma in an hour in front of the Chhabra Villa."
