OS : Dream Comes True

Ram and Priya were lying in bed together. He held her hand and gently touched her face. She was still fast asleep. Ram gave her a light kiss on her cheek, and her eyes fluttered open.

"What time is it?" Priya asked, her pale eyes scanning Ram.

"I don't know," Ram replied, still looking at her and gently caressing her face.

Priya glanced at the clock and panicked. "Ram, why didn't you wake me? It's almost time for classes!"

Ram groaned as she rushed to the bathroom. "Do we really have to go? Missing one day won't hurt."

Ram lazily laid back down and drifted into a light sleep.

In the background, Ram could faintly hear Priya trying to wake him. "Ram, it's time to get up."

Suddenly, he was forcefully shaken awake.

"Ram, you lazy bum, get up!"

Now fully awake but confused, Ram opened his eyes to see Priya ready for classes, shaking him awake.

"Okay, I'm awake," Ram said, shaking himself awake. He started to undress in front of her.

"Could you at least wait until I walk out?" Priya yelled as she left the room, covering her eyes.

Yep, that was definitely a dream," Ram said to himself when his partner was out of earshot.

Ram had been having dreams like that quite often. In these dreams, he and Priya were happily living together, but he couldn't be sure if it was just a dream. Lately, he found himself escaping to this dream world whenever he could.

Since Ram wasn't good at expressing his feelings, he thought it would be better to keep them inside rather than risk being rejected by the person he loved. Ram got dressed and ready. Then, he and Priya hopped on his bike and headed to their classes. Priya had her arms around him, and his heart was racing. Having her so close was so nice that he felt a bit sad and tempted to just keep driving when he dropped her off at her classes and left for work.

Classes started and ended, and lunch passed by quickly. In the evening, he picked her up from her classes, and they rode home together again. Both of them got on the bike, and the ride home was silent.

They reached home, and Ram headed straight to the kitchen for a snack. Priya went into her room to change. As Ram sat at the table eating a sandwich, he was taken aback when he saw Priya. She was wearing a light blue churidar, her hair was down, and she looked exactly like she did in his dream.

Ram stood up, went over to Priya, and pushed her against the wall.

"Ram, what are you..." Priya couldn't finish her sentence because Ram kissed her passionately, expressing all the love that had been building up inside him since the morning.

"Ram, I... I..." Ram placed a finger over her lips, silencing her. He had something important to say, and he needed to say it now.

"Priya, I love you. I know you might not feel the same way, but I've felt this for a long time, and I had to tell you." Ram let her go and stepped back, expecting Priya to be shocked. However, he was surprised when Priya grabbed the back of his head and kissed him deeply.

"Ram, you're such an idiot. Of course, I love you." She kissed him again, this time more gently.

Ram was shocked when Priya nodded. The shock turned into pure happiness, and Ram joyfully picked Priya up, spinning her around until they both fell on the couch, laughing in each other's arms.

Looking down at her, Ram smirked and admitted, "I guess I should have done that a while ago, huh?"

Priya, looking up at him, kissed him and teased, "What took you so long?"

Ram sat up, scratching his head and mussing his fluffy white hair. "Hmm... I was at a loss for words."

Priya giggled, reassuring him, "Don't worry, Ram. I know about the dreams."

Surprised, Ram's face turned red. "How?"

"You talk in your sleep," Priya giggled again. "But don't be embarrassed; it's cute." She snuggled up next to him, laying her head on his chest, and Ram relaxed, holding her tightly.

Later that night, as they went to bed, Ram woke up and realized his dream had come true. A smile played across his face, and he decided to follow the events of his dream. He gently stroked Priya's cheek and gave her a light kiss. When Priya woke up, he kissed her and convinced her to spend the day in bed, enjoying each other's company.
