The dreadful voice strange and unknown halted our conversation. Another series of shocks awaited me. I felt a hand creeping at my shoulders; I looked at the side being alarmed at the sudden touch.

The person who was standing beside me with a perception of some acquaintance with me was leaving me to astound.

Those hazy brown eyes, fierce and conquering, with a depth of ocean and streak of thunder stored inside. My eyes were captivated by his; we kept looking at each other for seconds, I was consumed at the moment delving into the depth of his eyes and taken aback by the storms I witnessed.

A square face, strong jaw and chin, prominent cheekbones and a broad forehead, with medium arched, pointed eyebrows and a chiselled well shaped nose.

Equally contrasting was the situational difference between my inner self and outer self. While I struggled a storm inside my heart, turbulent, loud, destructive there was a long, grim silence which covered my face. I was into nothingness, blank and tragic. The exterior silence proved more devastating, freighting than the inner one.

    The air filtering through the wide spread silence chilling my nerves penetrated my ears as the sounds of boot tickling through the ceramic tiles echoed around as he inched closer and closer."Stand up" The authoritarian voice was aimed at me. I resisted and kept my eyes close trying to ignore the dreadful presence of a disastrous voice aimed at me."Stand up.." He roared again this time with a greater intensity, the feel of someone creeping along my arm. The fingers enclosed tightly around my fragile wrist as the sudden warm blood rushing through his nerves came in contact with the cold blood chilled out of feat making my body feel warm and cold at the same time.In utmost fear, with my fingers tugged around a crampled edge of my satin fabric dress, as the fingers enclosing my wrist strengthened its hold, I tugged around the dress in fear.

What does he have in his mind? Why can’t he act normal like any other human and let me live some moment of peace and calm. “WHAT KIND OF PUNISHMENT?” I finally managed to utter some words and question the atrocities he has preserved for me in his mind. What is he thinking of? Is it something even worst than what he was going to do earlier? He had just killed me by mentioning about leaving me in dark. I fear dark. I fear it the most. I was looking at him with eyes filled with terror and horror. The awful state I was in further intensified by his beastly smile which has just unnerved me to the core. The way he smiled.

Sailing my arms in the air, fluttering it around my fingers searched for the buzzing alarm clock which has put up an eclipse on my sweet, deep sleep. “Shut up” My brain yelled at the continuous noise. With eyes close and hands flying all around in search of the source of disastrous cacophony. My fingers felt the soft, damp flesh, being unable to understand the object I just felt quirky, my sense of touch was probably still asleep.

He has no importance for memories, but I can't let him destroy all the memories which are close to my heart.
