“Arghh!!!” One night I woke up to the sound of Rai screaming.
I woke up and turned on the night lamp so fast, so I could see what was wrong with him.
“Rai, Rai.. Wake up.. You are having a nightmare." I touched his body, shaking it gently so he would wake up.
“Arghh!!!" He screamed again.
“Rai, please wake up. I’m here, Rai. You are having a bad dream.” I shook his body again.
Instead of waking up, he hugged his own body and whimpered. He kept whimpering, and I became frantic. He looked like he was in pain, physical pain.
“Rai.. Rai.. What’s wrong? Please tell me what’s wrong.” I kept shaking his body, but he still didn’t open his eyes.
“Rai, I’m here.. Please tell me what’s wrong. Don’t make me scared. Please...” By now, I was crying. I didn’t know what to do. To see him like this scared me. He looked like his body was in so much pain. It was agonizing for me to watch him like that.
“ARRGGHHH!!!” He screamed louder in pain.
