Happy reading guys..

Lekha's P.O.V continues....

The next day too I reached the library just as it was opening. My eyes began searching for that familiar face with whom I had interacted the previous day.

Where are you Tatvika?
Looking around inside the seating area I noticed most of the chairs to be empty except for few hear and there.

Probably she hasn't come yet!

All my school friends from this city as well as Delhi abandoned me
Like as if they cared for me earlier..
My subconscious mind screamed making me re-think of not to hope or create any expectation on this new girl whom I met just once. I went straight to the history section that was so silent; I began searching again, went through a couple of books that had information about Indian tribes. I tried to be thorough i am sure to have missed some information yesterday...
I brought with me a note book, tried to collect as much as I could and began writing about a particular tribe that existed during that era.

"Hey!" I heard a whisper near my ear while my face was buried in the book. Lifting my bead I saw Tatvika who was waving at me and I suddenly experienced intense joy in my subconscious mind as if I found my lost friends and I waved back.

"Can I join you?" She asked.

"Sure!" I replied with a smile.

"What are you reading about?"

"Something related to a particular tribe that lived in India some eight hundred to thousand years ago!" I did not tell her about my dream since I felt that she might think that I am crazy.

"Are you writing any project or is it just your personal interest?"

"Purely personal!" I replied "And also I quit studies after my twelfth! Have no support from my brother! I am in need of a job desperately! Will start searching once I clear my mind with this!"

"I am sorry to hear about your education! Anyways I'll be seated here, if you need anything just let me know!" She said and spread a couple of books on the table and started reading them. I did not want to disturb her and I continued with my research.

While reading one of the descriptions' I came across a belief of those tribes that had the title--"black moon!" What? This is something new..
I thought and continued reading that specific part which stressed on the black moon that occurred once in every eight hundred fifty years and that those tribes were scared of it since they believed that black moon brought out an evil that would harm their race and they spent that night chanting and praying to their God to protect them from that curse and harm brought by the evil that would be unleashed from hell and possessed  the one who help the evil; cause destruction to those living nearby.

I remember the old lady, Aatmaja saying that i must get married on the next full moon night...does that mean those tribes in my dream believed in cursed black moon? What's special about the next moon?
I thought and continued reading further; those believed that the next full moon was blue moon that would bring joy and happiness in people's life if they survive the black moon's curse.

Everything seemed so vague to me, I had no idea if and how all this was related to the crazy dream I had.

Any ways I can only conclude that subconsciously I yearned for Aarya's attention that took a dream form!!

My head was spinning from confusion and felt like I was being hit by small stones on my head; all of a sudden my head began aching with intense pain so I immediately put back the book and settled on the chair in front of Tatvika who was busy with her books. I rest my head on my arms placing them on the table.
