#38 …when reality is finally better than your dreams.

Tring tring. I suddenly woke up and checked the clock on my mobile. 1 a.m. Guessing it must be an emergency, I switched on the light and received the call.

“Hello. What happened? Are you all right?” I asked anxiously.

“I am perfect sissy. What are you doing?” It was Anish, my cousin.

I was a little amazed at his cool tone.

“Normal people are supposed to be asleep at this hour. I am normal,” I said a little harshly.

“Oh! I am so sorry, I just didn’t realize it was this late,” he said apologizing.

“What do you mean you didn’t realize?” I sat upright and added, “Anyway what made you call me now?”

“C’mon now calm down. I just wanted to chat a while and the first name that came up in my mind was yours. I didn’t realize it was this late.”

“And why are you awake this late?”

“I didn’t want to sleep.”

“Unless you sleep, you’ll not be able to see sweet dreams dear.”

“And who wants to dream when reality is finally better than dreams.”

“I am too sleepy to understand your thoughts.” I said good night and hung up.

Suddenly I knew what he meant. He was in Love! I smiled, switched off my mobile and went back to sleep.
