LONELY NIGHT, CLOCK STRIKES

It was a dark cold night .I woke up with a feel of thirst in my mouth; I walked towards the kitchenette to fetch a glass of water. My eyes were half shut. I gently opened my eyes and started to fill the glass.  As I slowly started to drink, I felt as though someone whispered into my ears .I continued to drink avoiding it and walked back to my bedroom.  As I was about to hit the sack, I heard a knock at the balcony door.

“What on mother earth was that?” I mumbled with fear.

 I was in a quandary whether to go towards the balcony or to lay down pretending to be asleep. There was an absolute silence spread across. My heart started to beat rapidly. I switched on the path way light and gazed at side of the balcony .I moved the curtains to see through the other side, it was dark and quiet. While I was about to turn, I saw a shadow of a tall and a huge man standing behind me. I stood still praying to God but when I turned around, there was nobody. I again heard someone whisper into my ears.  This time it was clear.

“Come back to me “it whispered.

“Come back, am waiting” it echoed.

I stood there, so clueless. Out of the blue, my mobile started ringing. I rushed to my bedroom to get my mobile.

I realized it was a bad dream.” What a nightmare!!” I woke up with the ringing sound from my mobile. I grabbed the clock and read, it was 5 am. My friend had called me to wish for my birthday. “What a birthday nightmare ever “.
