...that night  he lay awake in bed , sleep was  miles  away,  he kept thinking about  anabya  and her parents  , their thought  stirring him up  to stay awake,  the  moments spent with them  in the end  were  clearly etched on his mind 

Disturbed  he tossed and turned   he thought of taking some sleeping pills  but he determinedly  avoided  following his mind,  in this struggling   when he fell asleep  and  entered another world of dreams  he remained  unaware 

The scene he saw in his dream was  quite clear,  anabya lay in bed  defeated before sanbal , her gaze  staring at the ceiling above,  hearing sanbal  move around the room she became  nervous, to her  anyone's uninvited presence in her solitude was absolutely unacceptable 

Who are you asked anabya 

Your savior  answered sanbal flatly 

Why are you here  anabta became  more  disturbed 

To free you sanbal walked closer to anabya 

Next moment  sanbal  took anabya  s throat  in her tight  clutch 

What are you doing  surprised asked anabya 

Freeing you  whispered sanbal
