Sneha was an IT professional. She took her pills for the night and went to bed. She was dealing with chronic anxiety and depression. Pills helped her relax and sleep.
At around 3am she woke up with a start. Her nightdress was all drenched in sweat. She was gasping for breath as if she had run a mile. She had seen a weird dream. It was like a small boy was laughing like a maniac in a dark forest and she was partly sure that she was actually shouting in the same manner in her room while sleeping. She tried to remember what the boy looked like but all she could remember was he was wearing white clothes. 
What was happening to her? She was anxious now. She remembered the doctors advice and started telling to herself," It will be alright Sneha ". She repeated it again and again. 
The little boy standing next to her also repeated in his weak voice, "Yes Sneha, it will be alright." She smiled at him. He was so cute and supportive. He always stayed by her side wherever she went day and night since the day she hit him with her car.
She wondered why people called her insane and went back to sleep peacefully.
