5 Safe Embracement

As its a weekend, everyone woke up lately and they had a brunch together at Mythi's home. Nasina and Lyna gave an appearance to Mythi's house. They wanted to work together on the assignment and using that term, they were chitchatting most of the time.

Nasina is having a weekend evening classes for art work. Eventually they wind up the so called group work. Mythi queried about the drawing table for graphics design assignment and it seems their apartment has a big room with older drawing tables on the terrace.

Mythi said to her sister that she is going to work on the assignment from terrace. Suji intimated the same to her mom and went along to give her company. Suji is playing games and involved more into it. This gives a relief for Mythi, as she can left undisturbed with her work.

Suji was craving for snacks and so she left for a short snacks break. Mythi was all alone and it's almost dark evening. When she looked outside there is a graveyard near by, which is clearly seems closer than it appears.

Suddenly she sensed that a corpse is almost burning, though it is a ritual in some part of the world. She is anxious and about to leave the room.

The power went off in symphony with her packing up. She felt like her heart is burning deep and her blood circulation is stopped. She hustled to go back downstairs. The climate drifted to cloudy and it thunders outside.

In a moment, She stumbled down from the drawing chair. She closed her eyes and wanted to get out of that place. It doesn't want her to suffer anymore and it moves closer to her and embraced her.

Mythi felt like she is being with someone, as she is still keeping her eyes closed thinking that Suji came back for her. She managed to get out by walking slowly with her eyes closed still. Suddenly the cloud pours the heavy tears. Drizzling water and petrichor reached her through the half opened window.

She is relaxed and felt the safeness. Her body warmed up with embracement. She is moving down the steps of the stairs. Still it didn't loosen the hug and finally she reached her house portico.

As she is half eyed viewing the way downstairs, the power seems on and it releases her. When she is about to turn back Suji's voice came from front,

"Mythi I'm sorry, I was searching for flash light to reach you. But by the time I got out, you came down and aren't you afraid of thunder? How come you came in the dark from there all alone"

Mythi: "All alone. All alone." She keeps repeating the same words and then she faints.

Luckily Suji catched her before she falls down. Suji calls for her dad. He rushed outside and lifted Mythi horizontally, placed her on sofa.

Dad sprinkles water on Mythi's face and she slowly regained. Dad asked Mythi, "What happened? This is why I asked you to be close by Suji"

Mythi: "I saw a graveyard and something was burning. Suddenly power went off. So I was about to rush down"

Mom: "As it is thundering, you got afraid. Don't worry, we are here. Everything is alright."

Dad hugged and assured her the same.

Mythi went inside her room and spoke out loud "I was definitely been hugged by someone and the warmth was real. Did I day dream? No it's too real to be a dream".

It feels a sudden sensation of relief and it wants her to know that, "It wasn't a Dream".
