“Ufff, not again!” 😫 Pooja jumped out of bed, throwing her blanket aside in frustration. She rushed to the dining table where everyone was already seated.

Pooja: 🥰Good morning, Mom. Good morning, Dad.

Mom/Dad: 😊Good morning.

Brother: 😒“Hey, slow down! Why are you eating like a wild animal? You look just like a pig.” 😏 🐷🐖.🤣

Pooja: 😲Stop this nonsense! I’ll eat the way I want.

Brother’s wife: Here, take your lunch. Eat it on time. Don’t bring it back like yesterday.

Pooja: 😅 I had too much work, I forgot. You know when I get busy, I forget everything.

Mom: Yes, but you should take care of yourself.

Pooja: Okay okay, bye-bye! (she rushed out with her bag)

She ran out of the house in her usual rush, while her family laughed at her clumsy, chaotic routine. To them, she was just their lively, stubborn daughter. But deep inside, there was another world hidden in her heart —

a world of mysterious dreams that only Versha, and now Preeti, knew about. 🌌✨

At the bus stop, Versha was waiting angrily.

Versha: 😡Finally! Who comes this late? Three buses already left!

Pooja: Sorry yaar… I couldn’t wake up. Last night was really bad.

Versha😏: What? Again? Looks like he won’t leave you.

Pooja: 😫Don’t say like that… I’m already scared.

Versha: Then how should I say? Every night you dream about a boy, and you want me not to laugh? Hahaha. Tell me—at least is he handsome?

Pooja: 😫These dreams are killing me, and you find it funny!

Suddenly, a voice came.

Preeti: Hi.

Versha: You here? How?

Pooja: Oh wow, when did you come? Where are you going?

Preeti: I’m just going to the hospital for a check-up.

Versha: What? You’re pregnant?

Preeti: 😊Hm. Anyway, why do you look so worried, Pooja?

Versha: You already know the reason.

Preeti: Who?

Versha: Our old science tuition teacher… Pintu sir.

Preeti: Oh yes, I remember him. So what happened?

Versha: Nothing happened to him… it happened to her. He comes in her dreams every night, comes close, even kisses her😘. And this is happening for one month.

Preeti: Seriously?

Versha: Yes, silly— in her dreams! Hahaha 😆💭

Pooja 😰 (frustrated, scared): You guys think this is a joke 😓, but I’m really scared 😱. Every night, it feels more real, more intense 💔💭. My heart races just thinking about it 😖…

Versha: What if you actually end up marrying him one day 💍❓

Pooja: 🥴Never! I don’t want marriage. And relationships… they are dirty.

At that very moment, something changed. Pooja suddenly felt her heartbeat racing. She didn’t know why, but it felt like someone special was about to arrive. Her hands trembled slightly, her chest felt restless.

Pooja 😖 : Calm down, Pooja… it’s just a dream… just a dream.🤧

Soft footsteps came closer. A calm voice followed—

Sahil: Is this seat free? Can I sit here?

Preeti froze in shock, staring at him.

Preeti: 😱 Aa… aaarr… Pintu sir!

Versha looked at him carefully.

Versha: He really looks handsome… is this really him?
