The Nightmare

The sky was turned to golden yellow it was the dusk. Birds were flying in rows with busy melodies and bats flapping wings to catch and own some trees nearby the market. " Beeeeep....Beep...beeeepppp.." this awkward noise was near to make my ears blast.

  " Come on, get in quickly...okay...okay..let's go..." 

" Cheap, cheap...wade, wade, samosas" 

" buy these two story books and one free world map , important for school students"

Imagine where was I??? I was waiting and waiting until my eyes are weary for a bus to go home. I just imagined at what time we came out of college and I have been waiting for an hour for a bus. People were running as busy ants , children after tutions were hanging on buses as bats .

Alas !! It's almost 5.30 , the last bus for my home is at 6 pm. How could I go to Mawanella without a bus ? I tried to call my parents and inform , No!!! My phone was dead...no battery... I tried to check whether there were any coins . I felt something empty....No!!! Where is my purse !!! Alas , I had forgotten it on the lecture hall ...

 I checked in my bag whether there would be some coins to spare my life ...No !! I was about to die on this bus stand.My parents would be in fear but how shall I pass a message to me.

" Uncle, Uncle, can I take a call to my mother "

" No, no, you idiots are saying lies. What mother , in this evening..you liar..." 

" Anuty, anuty, can I take a call to my mother."

" Sorry, I don't have credit in my phone " 

I was about to cry as a small kid, I tried to figure there would be any police officer but nobody was such seemed to be. I thought today is my final day of breathing I'm going to die in this bus halt , I could imagine how my parents are crying and sobbing and how Obituary notices are being pasted everywhere. 

Alas !! It became more dark... Almost all the people who were in the bus halt have gone , single me remaining with tears and this heavy bag. I can't imagine what should I do ? I was totally helpless and I was just gazing at the road.

I saw a madman was turning to my direction but I had nowhere to move since it's almost dark , though there were street lights they were not much visible. I could feel the smell of nasty teddy before his arrival , I am going to offer my life to a madman how pity would it be ?? Would it be in capital letters in newspaper too ??

No!!! There was no time to think nonsense, I heard some murmuring sounds , he is almost near me ,near me , I was about to shout

" Don't kill me, please no !!! I don't have any money.I'm an innocent child ....I didn't habe money to go home "

" Haaah....haaah...idiot...get out ...just now..otherwise I will kill you...cut your throat...( showing a knife )

" I will beg you Sir, I have no coins...please let me be free here.. I am like missing..." 

" No !!! Don't kill me, Mama, he is killing me "

" Son, son, why are you yelling, Oh!!! God, why have you crept under the bed ( laughing)

" Are you not going for lectures, ( laughing) go and get ready, you are almost late "

I felt ashamed of myself, but I didn't narrate what I saw in my dream, since my mother will be afraid and she would be waiting until my lectures are over and it will be a bit of stubborn since I cannot loiter in the town with my friends.

That was a terrible nightmare I saw in my life...
