Chapter 13 A NIGHTMARISH REALITY

NEXT MORNING

BUKATER CITY

Jack wakes up and comes to know that he's already late for his office and that's why not able to understand anything he just gets ready quickly and is about to leave for the office only to stumble upon a voice message in his mailbox according to which he comes to know that the office will remain closed today due to some unexpected issues which has taken place in the systems of the office

Because of which none of the systems are working or functioning properly, and he's also told in the voicemail that they will be having off for an infinite period of time because the problem in the system is very huge which will take time to be prepared properly

Unable to understand he just ends up calling his friends as it has been long since he hasn't met any of his friends and tells all of them to have a party this evening for which everybody gets ready as today is Friday and each one of them will be getting free from their offices by the evening, so they will be able to surely come for the party

Upon which one of his friends tell him that he knows a place for party where they will be enjoying fully for sure and soon he texts him the address of the place where he has to come for the party, and he also tells that he will be throwing the party in which everyone has to come without any excuses

SAME EVENING

DAFFODILS PARADISE

“Here I come, the daffodil's paradise, but why isn't Sam picking up my call as I am trying him from last half an hour”, Jack talks to himself by disconnecting call of Sam as he is not picking up call , standing outside the place about which he told him to come

Suddenly the doors of the hotel opens itself and before Jack could ring the bell to his amazement and as he enters inside , he hears a voice but is unable to see anyone

“Welcome, Mr Jack to our daffodils paradise where customers satisfaction is our priority, and we will be very much glad to provide you with the finest service of this place, and I am pretty sure you are not going to forget about our service and name ever”, the voice tells

And soon after the voice finishes its statement there appears a huge round table in front of Jack and as he sits on the table without even a single second skip the table with its full speed enters inside a room still carrying Jack on it

Which amazes as well as scares him a bit as when he enters inside the room, he is able to see few people's seating there on different tables wearing something very odd, and they are behaving like as if they all are possessed

And suddenly one of them comes near Jack, and he utters,” We have been waiting for you”, and finally you are here”, and after the unknown completes his statement suddenly every one of them bow down before him

With all of them coming towards Jack afterwards, and they start applying a kind of oily texture on his face and hands because of which he falls unconscious only to once again wake up in his room thinking that it was all his dream but when he goes in his washroom to wash his face , to his surprise he comes to know that whatever happened just now is not a dream but reality

As he still sees that oily texture on his face which really confuses him as of who were they and what happened to him just now ? , And many such questions arise in his mind when he comes to know about the fact which leaves him tensed as well

And suddenly he gets a call on his phone and from other side of the call he hears,” So what are you thinking ?, was that reality or dream which you saw just now ?, do you have any answer of your questions?” , The voice asks and tells as well to him

“Who are you and how did you know about what happened to me just now ?, Are you keeping watch on me ?, I'll file complaint against you if you ever again tried to do that”, Jack warns the voice

“ Mr Jack the laws and orders are made for the humans, but we are very much far away from it as the rules and regulations of your world doesn't apply here, But if you want to know more about your so called dream reality than you have to come to the same location tomorrow at the same time”, the voice orders him

Replying yo which Jack shouts,” I am not going or coming anywhere and don't ever try to contact me or else....”, But before he could complete his statement the voice intervenes,” or else you are going to lose all your friends for sure as now your selection will decide the future of your friends, so I hope that you will take a balanced decision which will be good for everyone indulged in this process”

“ How should I believe that you have my friends with you”, Jack inquires replying to which the voice tells,” Fine, if you won't believe me than get ready to find their dead bodies just outside your house tomorrow night if you didn't come by the evening on the same location, Don't forget Daffodils Paradise

I'll be waiting for you there and if you don't come then you most probably know about the consequences of that “, completing his statement , he disconnects the call

Leaving Jack even more baffled as he really doesn't know what is exactly going on with him since this morning which is unexplainable as well as scary

SAME MORNING

DUNKEN CITY

Samantha wakes up after watching a nightmarish dream which almost scares as well as irritates her as she has been witnessing the same dream from last 7 days about which she is unable to forget as most probably we forget all our dreams right after waking up from dream but that's not the fact in her case as she is unable to do so

“Doc today once again I saw the same dream which I am witnessing from last 6 days”, she tells her family doctor Ruby by calling her right after waking up to which her doctor replies,”Don't worry I have contacted one of my senior doctor in the hospital where I work and have also luckily got his appointment for you”

“ And you should be there by today 6 in the evening without fail as he stays too busy and if you by any reasons will ignore the appointment then it will be very difficult to get her appointment again, so be there on time and I'll inform him”, Ruby tells Samantha

“Sure I'll be there without fail”, tells Samantha

SAME EVENING

DUNKEN CITY HOSPITAL

“Welcome Miss Samantha, I hope that you didn't face any issue in finding me out and as told by Ruby you are correct on time”, tells Dr Ronda by welcoming her

“Thanks doctor “, replies Samantha

“So Miss Samantha, Ruby told me about your case but I want to hear it from you and know that what is your point of view on the dream which you are seeing”, asks Dr Ronda

Replying to which Samantha says,” I really don't know but my brain kind of records the things in its surrounding because I am unable to forget it as the same incident as takes form of a nightmare which I am able to witness in my dreams, earlier it wasn't the case but it has started in last one week”

“ Okay, I think we need to do some tests of yours and then only I can exactly tell you about your mental health, so please co-operate me in the test and you can come and collect the reports tomorrow”, tells Dr Ronda

“ Yeah sure doctor”, replies Samantha

And soon she just gets ready for the test and after completing all the tests she again goes back to her house but while in her way she comes across a scenario which almost shocks her as it is the same scenario which she saw in her dreams this morning

Which is of women falling in a river after her car hits a railing and falls into the river along with her son who is also present in the Car and no sooner they both get drowned as no one helps them out including her and soon after coming back home she starts panicking

Because she gets too much stressed after seeing everything right in front of her eyes and still she was unable to help them out because of which she cries a lot and ends up sleeping without even having dinner

Only to wake up next morning with the voice of her mobile ringtone

“Is it Miss Samantha ?”, Someone asks

“Yes I am Samantha, how can I help you”, she replies

“Mam your report is ready and you can collect it today and also have to meet Dr Ronda at 7 as she needs to speak to you regards to your report so this is just a reminder call for you”, the voice tells Samantha

“ Yeah sure and thank you for reminding me the same, I'll surely be there by 7”, tells Samantha to her

SAME EVENING

DUNKEN CITY HOSPITAL

“Welcome once again Samantha, glad to meet you again”, expresses Dr Ronda

“Doctor now please tell me what's wrong with me as I am really unable to take it anymore because now the worst of my nightmares are coming tight in front of me”, grief-stricken Samantha speaks

“I saw your report and to my shock and surprise along with amazement I came across a fact the part of your brain which is responsible for creativity has suddenly started progressing a lot in last few days which means that you can sometimes see something in your dreams and think that whatever you saw was real or most probably your brains will show you the illusions of them being real

And that's the only reason why all this has suddenly started happening to you because of sudden changes in the dynamics of your brain functioning which is effecting your basic thinking as well”, explains Dr Ronda calmly

“ Doctor just tell me about the cure if this illness or else I am sure that I will soon be getting mad for sure”, sighs Samantha

“Sorry Samantha but unfortunately yours is rare of the rarest case I have ever seen in my life and even though we have progressed a lot but still there are few questions which are still unanswered, there are still few medical conditions which don't have any cure, so you have to stay with this problem for the rest of your life”, tells Dr Ronda

“You mean....”, But before Samantha could complete her sentence Dr Ronda intervenes,” But you can use some techniques like yoga and exercise to just keep your mind calm because if you will remain worried than most probably you will end up creating more problems for yourself, so be careful”

Unable to understand anything Samantha just walks out of the hospital while still thinking about her condition and also the cure which she can try to keep her illness in control only to end up hitting one of the man whom she has seen in her dreams and on behalf of her doubt she then starts following that man and soon she reaches on a deserted road
