You think it would be me getting out of my bed and waking her up but its not.
Its when i have been to the loo and i came back to bedroom.I suppose i make a noise then.She thinks i am still there next to her and some other person is coming into the room.you see and that's when she screams.
Me getting out of my bed never wakes her.I get up quite often in the nights.Like most men of my age.I have a bit of bladder problem and i guess i should go and get it checked out but i never have.
Anyways,there's me lying in the bed , busting to have a pee and i think i'll go but i will be extra quiet.So i ease the duvet over and slip my legs outta bed nicely and gently and quietly out of our room avoiding the noisy floorboard.
Out in the corridor i go .past the dog and along to the bathroom.I know i can flush my loo without waking her so after i have done my business i flush it and start back along in the corridors towards my room.
I push open a door as quietly as i can and i swear that i didn't make a noise.
One step...
Two step...
Three step...
And Sanyukta lets out her almighty scream and sits up in the bed.Its worse than usual,she never sat up before.
''Randhir,there's a man coming in the room!'' she yells at the top of her voice.I worry as always as the neighbor will hear out but they never seem to.We live in a very small and old house and the walls are thick so they deaden the sound.
I sense rather then i see a movement beside her.
A tired voice certainly not mine and not of hers says'' Sanyukta go back to sleep there is nobody here!''
Frantic,i run to Sanyukta's side of the bed and try to save her from him.I reach for her but my hands couldn't touch anything. I shout '' Sanyukta! Sanyukta !'' but she doesn't hear me.
The shape snuggles up to her and cuddles and Sanyukta says'' Sorry love,i am being silly again''.
My blood runs cold.
Its been like this for a week now.I think he is me in a way but i can't be sure.He looks like me and gets up and goes to work.He slobs around the house and watches T.V. a lot.He even writes funny notes to my friends on Facebook.
It breaks my heart when they make love.
He can't sense my presence but i am sure Sanyukta can because she still screams when i go to the loo in the middle of the night.
