Voices

Vishal got up from his sleep for 4th time . He was palpitating . He gulped the water from the glass which was standing on the little table . He looked around . Nobody was there . He called out " Who's there ? Who is there ? " Silence answered .

"Oh my God ..Was it a dream ???" He looked again , puzzled . Except for the whispers of the night , the only voice he could hear was his own panting breath...He tried to relax , but couldn't ..He face was dripping with sweat ..

"I don' t know whats wrong with me ! Why am I behaving so strangely tonight ? Why am I not able to get a damn good sleep ?? " He wanted to get up and check if everything was okay , but he was too scared .

"Come on Vish , it was just a dream ! Be a man ! Nothing is wrong here , except in your thoughts ! Close your eyes ..take a deep breath ...Relax ...." But he couldn't , something was disturbing him . " I shouldn't have drunk today ...I am feeling quite uneasy .. I will tell Saurabh tomorrow , not to take me to that pub again ..Strange place it was .." Vishal was mumbling to himself ..

" Easy dude ! I won't , tomorrow ! "

"Saurabh ??? You ? at this time ? " Saurabh gave a cross smile .." Goodbye my friend " and before Vishal could do react , blood gushed from his stomach ...Saurabh wiped the blood stains from his face , and stillness prevailed in the room once again ..
