From Dreams To Reality

Her smile was fading from his memory. Her touch was leaving his senses. Her silhouette was further and further away.

He reached out to hold onto her, to keep her with him but just like always she disappeared.

Prem Juneja awoke from his recurring dream with the same confusion as always. "Who was she?"

He had never seen anybody who resembled the girl who seemed to haunt his dreams and yet here he was, seemingly obsessed with her.

Every night he'd go to sleep and her beautiful face would appear in his dreams, dreams that belonged to his private world. A place he kept separate from his busy work life, a work life that allowed for no social life asides from seeing his little brother at least once a week.

Preet Juneja was the opposite of his older brother. While Prem preferred work and responsibility, Preet enjoyed social gatherings and having a blast. Preet was always smiling while Prem was always deep in concentration but the brothers loved each other more than anyone else. Their parents had died at a young age and so Prem had taken the responsibility of Preet's future upon himself and had never let him down.

His cell phone buzzed taking him away from his thoughts. He picked it up and saw Preet's name flashing on it. "Hello?"

"PB! How's work going?" Preet asked in his usual excited voice.

"Not bad," Prem yawned. "Where are you? It's like 1 in the morning."

"It's my girlfriend's birthday PB. I told you this morning." Preet sighed. "The one who's coming over for dinner?"

Prem nodded to no one in particular. "Haan haan. Main bhool gaya. Don't stay out too late alright?"

"Right PB. See ya in the morning." The line went dead and Prem fell back on the pillow, waiting for the dreams to take over yet again.

"He's going to hate me Preet." A low voice said in the car. "The way you've described him he sounds like Hitler."

"He's not Hitler." Preet rolled his eyes with a smile. "Honestly just relax jaan. He's going to love you and not only because he wants to see me happy but because you're so loveable."

The girl in question raised her eyebrow at Preet. "Oh yeah I'm just full of sunshine aren't I?"

"Maybe not sunshine but you're perfect the way you are," he said as he turned the corner. He didn't see her reaction and she preferred it that way. Preet never realized but sometimes he said just the right words she needed to hear.

Her phone started buzzing then and she pulled it from her pocket and sighed. "It's my sister." She pushed the green key. "Hello? Hey. Haha thanks! Wait, right now? I'm on my way to Preet's bro—alright fine. But if his brother minds, it's your fault." She sighed as she hung up the phone.

"What's up?" Preet asked.

"Can we go to the subway station on 4^th? My sister's stranded and I mean don't worry about dropping her home, she can just hang out somewhere near your house while we're having dinner." She rambled quickly.

Preet smiled. "It's okay. PB won't mind if she joins us."

"You're sure?" she glanced up at him, obviously happy with his suggestion.

"Perfectly sure." Preet took a quick u-turn heading to the subway station.

The doorbell rang and Prem smoothed down his dinner jacket before frowning at himself. He was in his own home so why did he feel dressed as if he was attending dinner somewhere else? He quickly stripped the jacket off himself and hung it on the staircase banister as he rushed to open the door.

"PB!" Preet walked through the doorway first, giving his older brother a big hug while the two girls walked in. "Looking good."

"Shut up Preet." Prem sighed as he took in the two girls accompanying him. Preet had told him that his girlfriend was coming for dinner but Prem had never seen her nor seen her picture so as both girls were turned around he didn't know who was who.

"PB, this is Rubina, and this is her older sister,"

Prem missed her name as he took in her appearance. It was her. Rubina's sister was the girl from his dreams. That same demure smile. The same twinkle in her eyes. This was her. After all this time she had entered his life. Never to leave, if he had anything to do about it.

I don't actually know what this is, but I felt like writing it. Don't ask for sequels because you won't get them since uni starts again in a week but yeah just thought I'd share it 😃
