Still dreaming.

"You are going to die", I screamed and woke up to realize it may be a bad dream. I tried to recollect what happened in the dream, but all I remember was the scream that were still giving me chills.

It had been a while I shifted to a flat, no one was home and my breath was the only sound I could hear. Something kept me awake, may be the dream or may be the frightening scene outside the windows, it was early hours and clock was about to tick 5 am but it was more darker than night.

I remember reading yesterday in newspaper, it might rain today, heavy rains, dark clouds and lightening all reminded me of that dream. It's not like I never woke up to bad dreams, but this was the first one when something terrible happened and I can't get it off my head.
Out of all places, I still love sitting in my balcony holding my coffee mug, today the feeling was different. I was more scared than ever before, I was hoping to get over it once I begin my routine.
The clock on the table with pictures of my friends finally rang at 7, my usual alarm time and as I was about to reach the clock, my mobile rang, my head informed that today the company would be closed as the transformer failed due to heavy rains.

I was waiting for a holiday since a while but nothing worked for me and then only this announcement should made me felt relieved. I wasn't even able to talk to myself fearing I would remember the dream. As there was nothing else to do I decided to fall asleep forcefully.

Came running to the main door as someone was banging the door badly and the bell kept ringing as if it had stopped working there itself. My eyes were all swollen, I could hardly open them but then the noise freaked me inside out. It was an old friend, my best friend, but it has been years we parted away, he walked out of my life for reasons best known to him, he didn't even bother to talk it out. More than surprised, I was shocked to see him, I don't think he even knew my whereabouts.

It took me a minute to gather my thoughts and welcome him in, the first thing he asked "I had to bang because I am here since 1/2 an hour now and I was worried if you were fine." It reminded me how much attached we were to each other, how much we cared for each other and it brought all the memories back.
After a long silent hour, the ice finally broke and we started laughing like earlier times

Then he suddenly asked me, what was your morning dream about, I asked him, how did he know about it. "I know everything about you, answer me."
I smiled and told him what I remember, he listened to me peacefully like always and then he began with," Are you the girl I knew? You were the one who used to be happy, no matter what be the situation, you would fake smile and then turn your smile into the most heartwarming laugh."
"But I'm happy right now", I interrupted him.
"Yes you are happy, but not right now, you have been overthinking for a while and all you are doing is stressing yourself, I know things aren't happening according to your plan, but you be the Columbus and discover a new plan, probably a better one, the one even with hurdles will make you reach your goal."
I maintained silence, "Now you are thinking if you were overthinking, aren't you?"
I couldn't agree more and responded with a smirk.
"Think more, more and more you are going to die and the reason would be unwanted stress, worst of worst what would happen you would have a life that you didn't plan, isn't that exactly the definition of life. Atleast when you are on death bed, you would be happy that you enjoyed your life and with such a journey you inspired many other lives. I have always looked upto you and even today you are the one who still is my guide for all the worries."
I sat there blank as if he said everything I was trying to hear in that dream and that scream "You are going to die". The dream that kept me awake, which puzzled me is now solved all thanks to him.

Suddenly there was a strange buzzing noise, it was kind of continuous and I woke up to realize it was the door bell, I ran towards the main door.....
