Mind Your Business - Part 2

                                                               **** 6 months later ****


It was already past 3 am. Sleep didn't seem to favor Vicky tonight. He counted the numbers from backward, sang lullaby to himself, walked to and forth from his bed to bathroom etc to get back to sleep.

After many trials, he decided to watch some slow videos to get back to sleep. He surfed through YouTube to watch some videos. He zeroed on the slow romantic song. It was a sensual video where a beautiful girl was draped in only white satin cloth, sitting on the wooden patio while waiting for her lover. A soft song played in the background.

Sleep began to possess him slowly. As he was about to close his laptop, he felt someone breathing next to him. He turned slowly to see who it was. It was the same lady who was in the video he watched few seconds back. She was sitting next to him and smiled at him

He turned white and numb. "I am dreaming!", he thought as he pinched himself. The pinch stung him. It was real. Suddenly she disappeared in thin air. "What was that!", he thought. He began to perspire due to fright. His laptop switched on itself. The images of the girl in the video reflected on the Google image page while the song played in the background.

Vicky pushed his laptop aside and jumped out of his bed. He rushed towards the door of his bedroom. But something caught his leg, making him fall to the ground. He cried due to pain. He rose up slowly.As he touched the door knob to open the door, something pulled him back and shut the door. His loud shriek could be heard from behind the door.

Next morning, a woman arrived at his doorstep. She wore plain salwars with mismatched sandals and no make up. She looked concerned. She banged the door. There was no answer. She called his phone. There was still no answer. Suddenly he opened the door.
