Chapter Four

 

 

I wake up from my sleep before my mother came. I got black fitted jeans with purple color top to wear for the dinner. Thank God its Saturday I can arrange my closet tomorrow before going to the college I thought to myself.

 

Meeting Grace after a long time “huhhh”. Well Grace is my just friend, not that sort of very close friends but we get good along with each other. She is sweet and I was in touch with her when I was away. She will be in same college but in different department. She is easy to talk to friendly in nature.

 

I went downstairs, switch on the TV to watch some program until my parents got ready.

 

“You are quick” my dad said.

 

“Umm yeah I woke up early” I said my gaze still locked on the TV watching Simpson’s.

 

“Your mom will be down in any minute Rose I am going to get the car out of the garage until you both my fairies reach the main door” he informed while opening the main door and closed behind him.

 

“where is your dad?” my mom asked stepping down the stair. I turned off the TV and turn to face her and said “He is getting the car out of the garage, Oh you look beautiful mom this color really suits you, Hey when did you bought this dress??” I said with a big smile while teasing her.

 

She blushed and said “Oh honey your dad bought this for me isn’t this pretty?”

 

“Well its Perfect mom, he has a good choice” I said while hitting my elbow to her and locked the door behind us.

 

“Ok now get in the car you two” He said with the ready to go expression on his face.

 

We settled in the car and within five minutes drive we were at the front of Grace’s house.

As I open my car door and was out suddenly two arms snuggled me in a tight hug.

 

“Oh Rose I am so happy to see you” She said still hugging me. I felt good that I do have at least one friend over here.

 

“Me too Grace, and well you are looking pretty” I replied him with a smile curved on my lips looking at her fully now.

 

She blushed and said “oh umm yeah…geee Thanks...Eric gifted me this dress…umm well on my birthday last month but I thought to wear today for dinner actually he is also invited” She informed me shyly.

 

“Oh that’s good now I can finally meet him” I said as she tugged her hand in the crook of my elbow and took me inside.

I hugged her parents before settling my self in one of the couch in the sitting room.

 

“I will be back in a minute let me call Eric and check till when he will come” She said as she dialed the number and went into the kitchen her parents just give a nod in reply.

 

Now both of our parents were chatting and talking about their old times, my mom’s re-transfer and their medical stuff and patients. Yeah patients you hear me right. Grace’s parents are also doctors, they work in the same hospital where my parents, that was the place from where their friendship started and mine and Grace’s also as we were always having dinners and outings together some times at our place and sometimes at Grace’s home so we are good friends.

 

While I was thinking Grace re-enter the living room with a sad face.

 

“Grace why you look upset?” her mother asked her in a friendly motherly voice.

 

“Mom Eric is not coming he said that he has some work and he is really very

sorry that he cannot come today” she informed.

 

“No problem dear you know how hard working he is” she said. “Yeah I know”.

 

“oh come on Grace show me your room I haven’t seen it for years” I said while making myself stand next to her and walking towards her room I know how to distract her when she is upset.

“Oh yeah I have made much changes you will love my room” and with that she continued happily filling me with every new work done with small detail.

 

We chatted for an hour in her room about old times. Then the dinner was served.  Time spent hastily at her home.

 

We returned back at our home I said good night to my parents and walked directly to my room. I need some sleep. It was just 9 p.m. and tomorrow is Sunday. Grace said she will pick me tomorrow for lunch with Eric so I can meet him. I changed my self in night clothes and tucked my self with sheets till me shoulders.

Lying on the bed I was sleepy and not at the same time. After tossing on the bed for about half and hour sleep drifted over me.

 

I suddenly jerk up sitting straight in my bed from my sleep. Again that damn dream. Its not that I get scared but I am just sick of it having the same dream again and again.

 

“Huhhh” I held out a loud sigh and switch on the lamp and get out of my bed. I need some fresh air to breather. I looked at the wall clock. Its 12a.m.

 

“wooow” I said to myself as I opened my balcony and look in to the beautiful sky. The moon is at its beauty its light touching the tress bringing the beauty of the forest just breath taking.

 

Why have I never seen this view from my balcony three years ago?

 

Wait!!! What??? NO WAY!!! It can’t be!!! Oh God!!! I think may be am not sure or may be I am right. May be I just need some rest. How the hell is it possible??

 

I walked back into my room my mind still struck to my dream place and the one  to the worse I am not sure is it really true or not. Still making statements and asking question to my own self I got my drawing pad out from my bag pack.

 

I took it with me back to balcony and held out in front with the page open where

I sketched my dream place. I had sketched all the scenes from my dream step by step when I continuously started having same dream daily.

 

In the first page, was first scene sketch, the front of the forest and it’s unbelievingly same place of my dreams.

 

I am having dreams of the forest that is at the back of my house??? I questioned my own self in a slight whisper.

 

I have to go there and check is it entirely the same place or not? But how??

Mom dad will not allow me to go there as it’s dangerous everyone in this place say. Some says there are wild animal that I don’t believe obviously.

 

Should I ask Grace to come along with me? No not a good idea I have to keep this to myself.

 

If my parents will get a slight hint about my plan to visit the forest they will for sure ground me.

 

Tomorrow I will definitely find a way. I came back inside my room saved my drawing pad and lye on the bed to sleep.

Chapter Five

 

 

Next morning I woke up early I took a quick shower, brushed my teeth, got dressed quickly dried my hairs with the drier and started organizing me wardrobe. I don’t like my stuff to be kept in bags for long

I looked behind and saw Grace sitting on my bed

 

“Hey when u came?”

 

“When you were busy with your thoughts and work so I decided to wait when you will be finish”

 

“umm yeah I didn’t notice anyone entering  lolz”

 

I  heard race voice she was still sitting on my bed going through my drawings. Looking at me she placed it back on the table at got to her feet.

 

“Come on lets go I don’t want him to wait” She said smiling and walked toward the door.

 

Ok”  I said and walked behind her.

 

I was unable to speak much as my mind was trying to prepare ideas to visit that forest.

 

“Mom I am going with Grace will be back late” I informed her behind my back heading toward the door.

 

“Ok but be careful honey. Bye.”

 

I heard her saying while closing the door behind me.

 

We reached McDonalds within ten minutes of drive. It was just 1:35 p.m. I was frustrated because She didn’t even let me ate anything before leaving. Eric was waiting for us already. Meeting with him went nice. We chatted mostly of their love story how they met and their plans about future etc, And of course about College. They were both in same department of course because of their love life and they are just un separable of course. Eric brought burgers for us with cokes and French fries.

 

“Hey where are you lost??? Everything ok???” She gave me a small shake with her hand on my shoulder.

 

And I jerked back to reality of course.

 

“Umm nothing I am fine just thinking about tomorrow” I said with a lost voice.

 

“Don’t worry you are going to love it and we can meet on lunch time as we are on diff departments and the students are really friendly and welcoming.”

 

“Yeah rite”

 

It was already getting late.

 

I think I should leave now it will get dark soon, meet u tomorrow”

 

You are going alone we will drop you back  home”

 

"No you guys enjoy I will walk back just want to stretch mysellf and you Eric must take care of her" i warned him with smile took my keys and mobile and waved them Good bye.

 

I started walking with low strides though i was not in a hurry. Suddenly in a silent road way back to home i heard my mobiles text tones i ignored and kept walking. 

 

I heard my mobile ringing. i took it our of my pocket and it says " DAD calling" i slide my screen and said 

 

"Hello"

 

"Hello honey we are out for dinner at Uncle Nick's home and i have left you some money you can order something if you like, are you at home?"

 

'Not yet but i will be back home soon, you don't worry about Mom"

 

"ok dear love you"

 

"Love you too" and with this the call ended and I am standing infront of my home looking back at the forest.
