Slap!

No, No please don't slap me I don't know what you are talking about leave me alone.

(Male) She is just a tool for me. I don't even remember her name.

(Female) Why did you give her nickname then?

(Male) Seriously babe don't tell me you are jealous of the ugly girl.

(Female) What if I'm?

(Male) I call her bakey because she smells like bread and cookies. She always brings me baked items which I give to my servants. She is mere a tool to fulfil my purpose. Let`s stop talking about that idiot and do something.

(Female) You are really funny darling.

No, No this can`t be true. I don't believe it.

Why? Why me?

Arthi wakes up gasping for air in the middle of the night. Some demons don't leave you and keep haunting you even after many years. It`s been 10 long years still I get this stupid dream every day. Her psychologist says are to forget about the past leave in present. Forgive and forget. Can she forgive and forget them specially him who has caused the main damage. Her train of thoughts where disturbed by a phone call. She lazily picks it up. Because she know only one person calls her during this time. She tries to smile but it doesn't reaches her eye.

Hey Sid.

Are you ok dear?

Ah, ha why do you ask?

Are you sure?

Sigh!!

Did you get the same dream again?

In low voice she says yes.

It's in past honey you don't have to worry about them.

I know but it still hurts Sid.

Do you want revenge on them? Just say it`ll be done in a blink of an eye.

No Sid, I don't want any revenge on them. I just want to sleep without horrible nightmares of past which still haunts me.

I`ll sing for you sleep baby we have leave tomorrow after the meeting.

Sid why do you love me so much.

Because you are the reason for my life.

Thank you Sid for accepting with all my imperfections.

You`re the definition of perfect soul. I don't want to see you like a panda tomorrow. I want my perfect and beautiful princess.

Idiot you never leave any chance to flirt with me.

How can I babe? It`s in my right to flirt with you.

Love you.

I love you too darling. Sleep tight now.

These alone nights are just for short period. Soon you will be begging me let you sleep.

Idiot, Stupid.

Only for you darling.

I miss you.

I miss you too. I will be always with you and never leave your side babe. Now enough of this talks. Drink a glass of water and go to sleep put phone on speaker I`ll sing for you.

Sid hums an old Hindi Kishore Kumar song for her.

(Hey raate nadi ka kirana hey chanchal hawa)

Arthi sleeps while listening to the song.

After listening to her deep breathes. Sid looks at the dark sky and sighs.

This is there routine for years. Siddharth and Arthi had been friends since kids. They are best friends who got engaged to each other soon they are getting married. Arthi was Sid`s one and only love. It broke him to see her in stressed, hurt and broken due to the heart she received from her first love. Sid was like a supporting system for Arthi through her rough times who mends her burden of heart broken love and heals her with lot of love and affection. But still his heart hurts because some part of Arthi is still leaving in the past which she denies till date. So whenever she gets upset and stress she get those nightmares. May be it`s the Burden of her love for that person scares him the most. There are many what if`s gives him fright of losing her. Tomorrow they will be leaving for that after 10 years will she be good if she meets him by any chance. Will her love for him rekindles what if he to loved her and he had reasons for whatever he did to her. He has never met him about the stories which she used to tell about him before the incident happened makes me think that he has his reasons for hurting her. Taking a deep breathe Sid owes to himself after happens in future he will support Arthi. Remembers how his Aru was lovely and full of life when he met her for first time.
