It was an early morning and
another day to the college. Soon after I got a seat on college bus, I plugged
in my headphones and played ‘Army of one’ by Coldplay in the music player and then
turned to the scenery outside. The view started to get dimmer and a new place
appeared before me.
I could feel myself in that place dressed in a gown with a lace like necklace around my neck along my bouncing heart. The street lights were dim, the lights across the banner of the shops made sounds, which indicated that the lights were about to get worn out. I stood there for a while and then ran towards a person who was leaving. I held his hand. While he started pushing me away, my hand slipped from his elbows to triceps, my lips shivered and tears dropped from my eyes as I sat on my knees begging him. I then saw his hands, having mark of nails from where a stream of blood began to flow. I thought it was may be because of my nails and suddenly I took my hands away from his. In no time, he was gone and my heart was cold.
"Meshaaaallllllll" I was brought back to the present on hearing a voice. "What's wrong?" Maya asked me. I stunned thinking if I screamed in reality. But then I thought, no, I didn't open my mouth in the dream. "What happened?" I asked her, wondering what happened exactly. "Your eyes are brimming and your entire face is full of tears" she said. I blinked my eyes and could feel a fat drop sliding my cheek."I am fine, that's may be because I have been watching out continuously without blinking" I replied and assured her that I was fine.
I replayed the song again and recalled the dream. He left long back, why am I still holding him? He has a life, why am I ruining it? He wanted me to be happy, why am I sad? He left for good, why am I worsening the situation?
I hugged him imaginary, when these lines played…
"Never so high as when I’m with you
And there isn’t a fire
That I wouldn’t walk through
My army of one is gonna fight for you
My army of one is gonna fall for you..."
