Chapter 571 - When soulmates meet... Part 5

Meanwhile....

Inside the dimly lit room, it had aready been one hour and the man was yet stationed on the floor happily, with his arm stuck under the girl's waist. He had now rested his head lazily on the edge of the mattress, while his sleepy eyes often opened, to glance at the girl's beautiful sleeping face. Their faces were now just a single inch apart and their breaths, caressing each other's lips gently. The boy had spread his legs on the carpet while his other arm was casually resting on his thigh. Soon he dozzed off in a deep slumber, and rested his head on top of the matress just next to the girl. 

A few more minutes later, the girl frowned and finally opened her eyes a bit, feeling something very hard and strong under her waist. Her hands went right below her waist to feel the hard object and she touched somebody's muscular and strong hand, startling her immediately. She opened her eyes widely and saw Kareem's face right next to hers, who was also sleeping while lying down on the floor. Sheryl immediately backed off a little and looked closely at the man's face, whose facial muscles were pretty much prominent under the dim lights. He was now sleeping like a little baby, who was totally unware of his surroundings.

He was sleeping rather extremly peacefully, having no bad dreams to wake him up. Sheryl looked at the man's hand under her waist and her heart was instantly full of extreme guilt. 

She had understood that the man did not want to wake her up and thus slept in an uncomfortable posture besides her that too on the floor. The girl moved a bit sideways, releasing the man's hand from her weight. She slowly touched the man's warm hand and then lifted it up, trying to fold it close to his chest. As soon as she folded his arm, the man frowned  a bit in his sleep. "No.. No.. No matter what you say. I will never do it."

Sweat droplets formed on the man's forehead and he took deap breaths, startling the girl instantly. Just like the previous night, Sheryl could see that the man was once again having a severe nightmare, which was scaring him to the core. Sheryl immediately patted the man's shoulder with her hand, trying to calm him down. Finally Kareem stopped frowning and he relaxed a bit, at the girl's gentle and caring touch. Sheryl once again did not have the heart to take away her hand from the boy's shoulder. The boy seemed so agitated in his sleep that it was disturbing for her to see him in a condition like this. 

With her other hand the girl pulled out a pillow and placed it below the man's head, making his head take the pillow's support. She then finally lifted her hand from the man's shoulder and straightened her back, still looking at him with guilt filled eyes.

She then quietly got off from the bed and tip toed taking out a comfortor from the nearby almirah. With the comfortor in her hands she slowly walked barefoot towards the man and then bent down on her knees and covered him with the comfortor. She tilted his head towards the floor, making it rest comfortbly on the carpet.

The boy was now lying on the soft carpet comfortably, with a pillow beneath his head and a soft comfortor to snuggle with. Seing the man in a better sleeping posture, Sheryl felt relieved and wiped way the man's sweat with her hand. The girl was about to get up when Kareem again frowned in his sleep. "No.. No.. I will never do it. Kill me if you want to. I love my family. I shall never ever do this to them. No matter how much you try to scare me. I... I... will never ever harm them."

Sheryl looked at the man's tense and scared face and she patted his head gently with her hand, once again calming down the boy. For some reason she did not want to leave him all alone, at the time of distress and she wondered what kind of dreams must the man be seeing to speak such dangerous things. She gently patted the boy's head several times and smiled looking at him. 

"How innocent you look, while you are asleep Kareem. I could look at you all night." She smiled but then suddenly retraced her hands, as if coming out of a trace. "Oh dear. What is wrong with me? Do not forget Sheryl, he is a man afteall. He is bound to hurt you some or the other day, if not now. So you do not have to come close to him, neither do you have to melt in his smooth talks. He must be smooth talking to every second girl he meets. Men should never be trusted." Sheryl gave a stern look to the man and immediately stood up on her feet and started walking towards the door.

"I should not wake him up but that does not mean that we are sleeping in the same room. What if he tries to do something bad to me? I might as well go to Cheryl's room." Sheryl walked out of the room, scared of being with a man all alone in a room. She entered the long corridor and looked around .Their was just one another room and she assumed that it must be Cheryl's room. She rang the door's bell several times, but nobody answered the door. Sheryl looked at the door in confusion. "Oh dear. what if this is not Chery's room and I might wake up some other sleeping guests."

Sheryl immediately backed off from the door feeling silly and walked inside her room yet again, closing the door behind her. She was pretty much scared of being with a man all alone in a closed room, but now she had no other option.

She walked inside the dimly lit room towards the man, who was yet sleeping in the same posture on the carpeted floor. She looked at the man for several seconds and once again she had slight smile on her face, looking at his child- like sleeping posture. She walked closer to the man and looked at his face intently.

Little did the poor girl know, that the moment she had walked away from him to check on Cheryl, he had woken up from his sleep. He was now currently only pretending to sleep, with his eyes closed but was wide awake...!
