Journey as u may end it .................

Kusuma screamed and got out of her bed. She was feeling breathless and wanted some water. There she saw Rajan standing beside her with a glass of water and wanting to know if she was alright. Kusuma almost fainted. She couldn't believe it was Rajan. She got up and touched him and to her astonishment it was her Rajan. Rajan hugged Kusuma and asked if she had a bad dream. Only then did Kusuma realize that Rajan' s illness was indeed a dream. She was so happy to see Rajan , her Rajan again , healthy and happy that she was speechless. As she was feeling happy, there was a sudden lull that creeped into her. Why was there such a bad dream?? Are they the hidden fears, longings, dependencies and anxieities???Or is it indicative of something really bad that is going to happen??Then she decided to not interpret the dreams. But how can one dream so much in one night?? She then thought that her dream , if not for anything else was very educative in nature. If not for this, she wouldn't have known about paralysis, the agony one would go through, the mysterious shibhu and Manu......... she laughed at it all............... Then she saw Sharan in one corner of the room with his paper boat singing .................. 'ROW ROW ROW YOUR BOAT, GENTLY DOWN THE STREAM, MERRILLY MERRILLY MERRILLY MERRILLY, LIFE IS BUT A DREAM'.
She was very glad that it was just a dream.............................
