Walking in the Dreams (Part 2- Naomi)

Lee was still in his dreams as he was walking though the events in his head, time froze for a moment. He was struck in the dreams, like he could literally feel it!

Something pulled his breath, his thoughts as if someone was painting Lee's dreams made by an artist. It was surreal.

The golden eyes narrowed, then the person moved. The person looked more clearer now.

She appeared as if I know her very well, but Lee have never seen her face never before.

But she looks very much familiar and known to him! She is just a very young teenage girl! 

The glow in her eyes sparkled through her thick eyes, Lee was watching a young girl with the purest of hearts.

The glow in her eyes multiples as, flicker above as there were lots of elderly homeless people were around her. All they were very glad with her as they thanked her for the beautiful meal she continues to prepare for them. Such a young age she has helped these people with her heart. She has also brought gifts from them from her prize money she received for her outstanding performance in the college.

Somewhere in China]

**************

It was quite beautiful day.

The sun was setting, painting the world life a fine artistic picture. The high up, the air was clean and crisp, pierced by streams of sunlight.

Naomi, a brilliant college student, was waiting for her bus to pick her up from the science fair.

Last night, she went to an orphanage with her mother. She enjoyed her present there. Her mother told her that helping others is the best thing in the world. Her mother had brought home made foods for all of them.

Naomi made a special promise to all those kids that, she will gift them something special. She has made promise that she will give them special present for this valentine's day. Although her parents are very happy to help her arranging those presents, but she wants do it with her own. She can win the reward money college that will be given in the college science fair. This year some multi-million-dollar company has made the arrangement for award money.

The teachers also very happy with her presentation. She has made a formula that could cure to life threatening disease. She has good opportunity to win the first prize, then as she had promised she will buy some beautiful clothes and books to those orphanage Childs.

All though she is bit clumsy in the outside world, she even is very shy with her friends. His father is very protective to her. Last year she almost had an accident which she got away. Most of the times her mother comes to pick her, even at this age.

Today, both of her parent went to meet with their aunt who is in the hospital. So she has to come home alone. Its bit embarrassing when her friends see her with her parents but she loves moving around with her parents.

Her father has made her promise to be very careful. She has been told to avoid the streets and take bus, or even the taxi. But she knows she can manage of her own. She has grown up. She knew her father told her to avoid the city streets and not to be lonely. But she liked to keeps distance from the crowd as she has asthma, large gatherings always make her life difficult.

She was busy with the comics that she was reading in her phone. Bunch of men came and pushed her in the corners. She tripped and fell over the street.

She picked her thick glass as it was partially broken and looked at one of them he had a cruel laugh in his face, he opened his small black rough teeth that looked like melon seeds and said, "Opps…. looks like the clay doll fell and broke his soft hand. Don't worry sweety… I will take care of your beauty spots."

Naomi cursed herself, she was distracted by the science fair, she should have been more careful. But why on earth she could have guessed something like this could happen. She is not like any other girl, she is always busy with her books. She doe not have any boyfriend, even she hardly has friend. All she cared about just her study and her parents.

Naomi picked herself up, she knows she is not life the other girls. She is not athletic. But this time she began to run with her full strength towards the nearby park. Branches whip against her face as she sprint through the trees. She tired her best to run as fast she could but with her short sight and heavy glasses it was very challenging for her.

These men were faster they pushed her hard this time, so Naomi tripped and fall hard against the ground.

One of them came near her, and grab Naomi's soft arm with his big hands. She is having trouble, as she saw a big guy holding her hands too tightly. Her glasses were completely broken so she was having a blurred vision.

The big guy grips her arms and pulls her by hair and scoops her in his shoulder like a piece of cloth.

"Hey, Put me down."- Naomi mourns and struggles, but to no use. The big guy is full of strength but honestly Naomi is very thin and no wonder she can do anything to break out of the man's arms.

He carries her to a black van parked just of the park nearby. The other guy opened the door and makes the signal. The big guy made a thick growl and shoves her inside the vehicle.

"Wait, please someone …help!"

The other came near her, Tash..... this guy slaps Naomi very hard in her face and slams the door, cutting off her protest.

Naomi's white cheeks became red and swollen, she moan with pain, marked with thick fingerprint all over her face with force the slap.
