When I
opened my eyes I found myself alone at the quite empty place dumped in
darkness. As soon as I realized I started sweating profusely and had goosebumps
erected on my hands. I quickly started to search my mobile and my purse and
thankfully it was lying by my side. The light illuminated as I touched the
screen of the mobile and it indicated 4am and date as 12th April. I
frantically started dialing the numbers. But hey hold on, I spoke to myself.
What if my mobile rings loudly and the hidden monsters come out and attack me?
I quickly put it on the silent mode. Again my mind made me to think instead of
calling why not look for ways to escape from this spooky place?
By this
time my mind and my body had relaxed a bit though my heart was still beating
faster. I gathered courage and used my mobile phone’s torch….
My jaw
dropped when I saw that I was trapped in a huge warehouse with no sign of
human’s existence. Those heighted walls and empty corners started freaking me
out. I froze and I couldn’t switch off the light of my mobile. It took few
minutes to come into my senses.
A tear
rolled down to my cheek and the feeling of being all alone at the place was
making me feel terribly scared. In a shock, I sat down immediately on the cold
floor and burst out in tears. Some time passed. I knew here at this place was
no one and whatever I had to do, I had to do it by myself.
I got up
and first scanned the place with the help of my torch. I assured myself that
this place was entirely abandoned. That meant I could make a move for myself. I
took a deep breath and I walked a bit. From the distance I could see a broken
window and I felt like there is a light at the end of this tunnel. I quickly
moved towards the window. I peeped out of it and heaved a sigh of relief by the
view of opposite side. Yes, I found the highway opposite to this creepy place.
It was dark
outside but not that dark that I could not see. I kept looking out of the
window, the activities outside so I could ask help from the passerby. One car zoomed so speedily in front of my
eyes that by the time I could scream for help it disappeared.
I looked
here and there from the window and saw one man walking alone on the highway.
His shoulders were stooped as if in his own deep thoughts. I took closer look.
Is it Amit? Yes, he is Amit. I quickly calculated the distance from the place
where I was stuck and the highway. He could hear me out if I scream loudly.
“Hey, Amit!
It’s me Kirti!” I waved my hand to signal him that I am here.
I screamed
at the top of my voice to grab his attention but all my efforts were futile.
After a long time after my cries, he turned back but then kept walking. I knew
he saw me but he didn’t do anything.
“Amit,
don’t leave me! I am here! Save me.” I kept calling him.
“Hey, Kirti
beta! Whom you are calling to? Wakeup, dear wake up! Its morning”
“Aah! Mumma
you?” A shocked expression on my face.
“What
happened dear? Again you had a dream?”
This time I
was in my bed sweating and breathing rapidly.
“Nah beta!
That’s ok! It was just a dream! I’ll make you cup of tea! Get ready for it, ok!”
she kissed my forehead and left the room.
The dream
was quite similar to my current condition. My life became ‘an abandoned
warehouse’ the day Amit left me. Yes, I was abandoned by Amit as my punishment
to love him dearly. I was left alone to experience the same spookiness and
emptiness that you would experience when you’re abandoned!
