Intimate dream......Just one dance
She was in his arms, so close that she could hear his heart beating and could feel his ragged breaths on her skin. In a state unbeknownst to her, she was shivering with cold, was it the weather or was she ill? And where was she and why was she in such an intimate state with him? She refused to think of answering any of such questions. It was this moment she wanted to live-on. This time forever.
She was shivering uncontrollably now. In the distance she was hearing a noise that was disturbing her intimacy and privacy. Wasn't it a moment of silence?
She was semi conscious the day she was caught in the thunderstorm in the university, the car's headlights, the opening doors, she was remembering everything now. They were not kidnappers, they were her friends. Sila, Saba and Saba's brother Shaheer. She was just saved from being fainted but she was badly effected by cold then, they turned on the car's heating system for her and came all the way to drop her home, the driver was too surprised and followed suit.
And since last two days she was home, in bed, caught with flu and high grade fever. Drowsy and in delirium. Whenever fever subsides a little she would walk up to the window to get some fresh air but most of the time she was too weak and semi conscious because of the raising temperature.
And now as she was feeling his warm skin next to her cold shivering body, it was this noise that was annoying her. She did not want to wake up but she had to. It was her very own cellphone.
With trembling hands and eyes semi-closed she answered the phone call. It had a pause of few seconds enough to tell her who was at the other end.
"So hows the post adventure situation amiga?" His tone was certainly not sympathetic.
"Im good, how are you"
"I am too good after knowing your condition and and your zealous adventures. You know what I think, girls like you should either stay home or be sent everywhere with a security person" , his aggressive tone was making her shiver a bit more.
"It was an accident and I was caught in thunderstorm, you have no right to judge me like this"
"Why on earth all the accidents are meant to happen with you? Why did you go alone on a walk on the secluded path. For heaven's sake you should realize you live in Karachi and any harm could occur to you any moment, why did you have to send your driver away?"
"If you know so many things, you should also know that I am running fever at the moment and can not answer your questions. And do not try to be my guardian angel because you are not."
"Ah even in the state of fever you are as crispy, I like that amiga" his laughter was instantaneous.
"Thank you so much for your call and now if you please let me have some sleep". She was obviously annoyed and the abandoned connection with him for the last month were getting back to her now.
"Yes sure, you should go back to rest but before that can you tell me if you took medicine", his concern was obvious
"No I did not, not yet, I am shivering badly" she felt like weeping.
"Somebody should stay with you Mawra. Ill ask Bibi jan, sleep if you wish to but remember one thing, guardian angel or not, I am not away. And I care. Beunas noches"
He was gone and so was her intimate dream. The realities were harsh.
She closed her eyes to forget reality and wished to get back to her dream.
