What does dreams tell us?

When Kenny came about it was almost night.

" Raj", were her first words.

He was holding her hand sitting on her feet . His eyes were closed and he was on her legs; his head in her lap.

She ruffled his hairs.

" Raj", she said softly.

" Kenny", he woke up.

She put her fingers on her lips. All of them were napping.

She saw Rahul, Kiara and Ro. Even Grace was sleeping on a chair.

" I bothered everyone ", she said sheepishly. " I was just tired".

" You did not bother me love", he said. " How do you feel"?

" I am fine", she whispered.

He still fed her a biscuit. She ate slowly then drank aome water.

He remained in deep thought.

" What are you thinking", she asked. Her drip was removed.

" I am taking you to my room. We need to talk", he said.

" Okay", she realised that this talk was important for him.

As he brought her there he prepared a lemon tea for her.

" Grandma Cooper's solution to every problem", he chuckled.

She giggled.

" I so want to meet her", she said sipping the tea. " This is good".

" Hmm", he said.

" Ask", she said.

" What"?

" Raj you are in dilemma to ask me something or not. I want you to ask that", she said.

" Don't answer if you feel unwell", he said.

" Okay".

" Kenny do you dream of someone who makes you feel like its you living that life", he said.

She stared at him in surprise.

" I know I am not making sense", he said.

" Gunjan", said Kenny. " Myra told me what happened to you when I was poisoned. She is sorry for what she said".

Raj sighed.

" That painting of that village belle we saw in Maddy's basement", he said. " I see her in dreams", he said. " She is Gunjan".

" Gunjan is real", Kenny was shocked.

" Yes Kenny and so is prince Aditya", said Raj.

" Your ancestor", she asked.

" Have you seen him somewhere? Well except for the photograph", he asked.

" Strange of you to ask that. When I saw that potrait I felt the same", she said. " But where"? She held her head.

" Kenny don't stress yourself. I will tell you. Right now when you were unconscious you dreamed of him. You declared that his brother murdered him. No one knew who murdered him Kenny. But our history books says the Brahmin man convicted for the crime said so. But you were sure my love".

" How", she asked. But Raj shook his head.

" I don't know. Maddy's mom is arranging Sushant's memoir for us which inspired the artist who drew Gunjan.".

" Can we look at your royal history together", she asked.

" Sure", he said. " But Kenny these dreams let us keep them between us".

" I also dream of Vikram and Riya. Maybe if somehow we can meet Mr. Ramcharan Oberoi", she said.

" I will try okay", he said.

She nodded.

Dinner

Rahul left after scolding Kenny for missing meals.

" Goodbye. I'll come some other time. Rakesh called. Mother is blowing the house. He needs me".

He hugged and left.

" He is not that bad you know", said Ro.

" He wants her. He is bad", said Raj.

" Kenny seems fine", said Grace.

" She remembers nothing", said Raj.

" Its better that way", said Ro.

Raj knew it was not. But they must not know.

Meanwhile

" She made me lose Rahul and you are concerned about her", fumed Kamini.

" Mother look she is going to be my wi..", he was saying.

" YOUR WIFE", Kamini snorted. " Wake up Rahul. The girl has chosen her man and its not you. Get over her and move forward in your life. Oh God until when can I monitor you!"

" No need for that. You did what you wished for in Bhishma. Look where it got us. Had you tried to listen to Rocky or me we would have been in better position", he said.

" Rahul beta calm down", said Bhanu.

" Your daughter collapsed with a low BP and you want me to calm down. Hell!". Rahul walked out with Rakesh following him.

" How is Kenny", asked Rakesh.

" She knows about the curse", muttered Rahul.

" What", Rakesh was shocked.

" I need a smoke", he said as he lit a cigarratte.

" Did you know she talks in sleep", he said.

" Its her father. The assh*le messed them up. Kiara runs in opposite direction of marriage", said Rakesh.

" She is so into him", sighed Rahul.

" How about him", asked Rakesh.

" I don't know yaar. I don't trust Rajeev. He is like an iceberg. We can see just a quarter of him", said Rahul.

But this was not a problem for Kenny. She read him like a book.

LIKE NOW. As she snuggled upto him. As usual he sneaked in her room at night.

" Please don't hold back Raj. I am starving", she said leaving wet kisses on his chest.

" Damn Kenny you will test the patience of a saint. And I am the devil", said Raj.

" I want you", she licked his neck.

" Shiva please stop", he pleaded. " You are not well".

She pouted and sulked.

"I love you", he whispered. " Tell me about your dream".

" I don't remember much", she said.

" Do you witness him die", he asked.

" No", she shook her head.

" I always see Gunjan brutally killed", said Raj. " By sword", he shivered. " I an feel her life ebb away".

She hugged him.

" What do dreams tell us Raj", she asked.

" They give us a hint like punditji told us", he replied.

" There is a young girl with Aditya in my dreams. She calls him her husband but she is pretty young", she says.

" Gunjan's husband is a warrior. I hear him but can't see him", he said.

" Umm", she fidgeted.

" Tell me anyrhing", he said.

" That day in that bike race I heard Aditya's voice calling me from inside the smoke and like a moth to the flame Raj I followed. DOES ADITYA WANT ME DEAD?". Kenny sobbed.

I don't want you dead. I want you to be mine.

Raj was baffled. Did he hear someone? Who?

" If he does I will send his soul to hell", Raj hugged her tightly. " No one will harm you", he said. NEITHER WILL YOU BELONG TO ANYONE ELSE.

Kenny kissed his lips.

" Please", she said.

" Kenny oh Kenny. Please don't. I will not be able to...", he was saying.

She held his virility in her hands and smooched him.

And Raj surrendered. He belonged to her. Souls and bodies merged once more.

That night. Every night. Each moment. Always. Forever.
