Chapter 21

Roseanne

I hastily woke up but couldn'topen my eyes. Panting and sweaty, it was difficult for me to breathe properly. What I saw was terrific enough to send eerie chills all over my body. For once, it felt like a nightmare rather than a dream. But I well know all of my dreams are nightmare which hauts me down in mere days. I hope to pray. I hope to forget. I hope to not foresee anything. I hope to be a normal person.

"Babe?...Babe?....Roseanne?"

The voice got clearer and clearer making me gasp when they shaked me and sprinkled water on my face.

I opened my eyes."Babe." Harold wiped the water and sweaty beads over my face. "Come here." He pulled me into his embrace. Just like that I found solace and peace. I nuzzled into his neck and didn't even realise I was crying until his voice echoed once again. "Why are you crying babe?" He pulled apart, cupping my face and caressing my cheeks wiping the river of tears away.
