Game of dreams!

"It is too dark", he said. "Of course it is, we are not looking for the sun here", I told my friend. "If you waste our time we won't reach our home in time." I minded him.

My friend Robin and I came here to know the hidden secret in this old bungalow, as almost since I was ten no one was ever dared to come here. But I did it now and I am feeling proud of me.

That was a big three bungalow which was located almost thirteen Kilometres away from the city. We have been questing here for more than 2 hours still didn't see anything mystical.

"Rob! Rob! Rob!" Robin shouted at me. I rushed there and we saw a person who is sitting in the middle of the room and studying or praying with a book on the table. Robin was shivering and frightened but we slowly entered into that large room and slowly approaching. Meanwhile, the doors were closed automatically and he suddenly turned back and boom......

"Wake up Rob, wake up If u don't wake up now u r going to miss your bus and I need to drop you at the school and I don't have time for that. Mommy made your favorite breakfast." Rob's mom trying to wake up his son.

He woke up suddenly and thought, oh! That was a scary dream. He is Rob aged twelve studying sixth standard in the King's Garden Public school. He was known as "smarty" in his classroom. He has an elder brother named Bob. Rob has a habit of narrating his dreams as stories into his friends and sometimes he even creates stories just for the sake of the thrill. Most of his friends are used to enjoy these stories except a set of students especially Peter, who is a greedy, tall person and belongs to a noble family.

22nd November, evening 7 PM:
Mother asked me to bring a few things from the supermarket. I normally hate going outside without my cycle, since I don't have a cycle I hate going outside. I was slowly headed towards the shop and purchased all except one item, which was not available there. I took the bill and trying to find out a shop for the not purchased item. I was slowly walking on the road and listening to my favorite songs.

Suddenly the lights on the road were off and it was too dark and there was hardly anybody to find. I was a bit scared and forgot about the item and rushing towards home. Ohh! "What the hell!!" I missed the route for home. I tried to get under some light.

I saw few people waiting outside a building so I thought of joining them and slowly went there. They all are entering into that building so am I. It looked like a church and it was actually a big hall, they all started praying so I was pretended to pray. In a mere time, people are leaving the church and I was following them, meanwhile, the father of that church called me and said: "Some things always scare you." I was wondering what the hell he was saying. I didn't listen to him and went out and stunned, frightened. It was cold, and I was able to see the things despite the absence of streetlights and there was nobody, those who came out from the building were gone. I saw my wristwatch and it is 5 AM and yes it is morning!! How the hell it can be morning at 5 AM. I was barely there for ten minutes. I was trying not to think and running my home like an athlete in the 100m race. I reached home went to my room like a cat and just fell on the bed.

I woke up at 7 AM having only a 2-hour sleep and went school. All my friends are curiously listening to me as I was explaining yesterday's mystery to my friends. The way I was explaining was too good to trust me. Here comes the Peter and spoiled the show. "Wow! What a great story Rob you are really a master in narrating stories like these. I am impressed!!" Peter said. "No! This was no story it was real." I said. "Oh then look at these photos," he said. The photos were taken in the city park which was one of the famous parks in the city. But the thing is "I was in those pics, in all of the pics." "U were there for more than three hours till 12 AM, stop these bullshit stories." He said. I was shocked by how the hell he has taken photos of mine as I was somewhere at the same time. I came home and thinking deeply about it and asked my mom "what is the nearest church for us." "Grand gravity church which is around 9 km from here." mum said.

What the hell "Did I travel 9KM yesterday!!" I thought. I thought I should stop thinking and leave it to God, Hey God! Help with this problem. If you help me with this I will surely trust you this time. Meanwhile, God thinking "This is the 991st time you are telling this, anyway I will help you don't worry!!"
The next day I woke up still thinking about that and momentarily saw the watch and it showed 23rd November and 7 AM. Oh! God!! So that was a dream. Thank god!! For making that horrible thing a dream. But "When did I start this dream?" "Was church thing a dream?" he questioned himself.
I wanted to confirm by asking mum. "Did you send me anywhere on the 22nd night?" I asked mum.

"Yes Rob, I sent you to the supermarket to buy few kitchen items" Mum replied.

"When did I come home then!!?” I asked again.

"I didn't remember the time but we had dinner at 9 PM" Mum replied.

"What?!! Was I there at the dinner yesterday?" I asked mum.

"Of course, you were. If you want to check, go and look at the kitchen sink" Mom replied.

"I went to the kitchen and saw four cleaned plates at the sink. Two plates were of mum and dad, third of Bob and fourth of..... Mine??!!" I wondered and stunned.

I slowly went to school and didn't talk much with friends. After some time we were chatting casually then comes Peter,

"I am sorry, Rob! I lied to you yesterday. Those photos I showed yesterday were not taken yesterday but were older photos. I actually saw you at the church around 7 PM and here are the photos. I just wanted to spoil your story" Peter said.

But what?? How could Peter saw me at the church at 7 PM as I went to the supermarket at 7 PM as mom said? So who is correct? I have no idea!

Even if these new church pictures were fake too, when did he lie to me and when did I tell my friends about my dream?

I didn't ask anything about photos and my mind was not on this planet anymore....

Suddenly all my friends started scolding Peter and telling me sorry for not believing me yesterday. 

"Maybe Rob, whatever happened yesterday it was true. I am really sorry for that" He added.

Meanwhile, I was talking to myself "So, Peter is here and apologizing to me. Oh, dear! He was the person who always hates me and always challenges me and now he is apologizing.... It's ok Peter but what the f*** are you saying"

First of all, I have no idea where did I go on that 22nd evening. "But I must have been somewhere on the 22nd evening and today is 23, then when did you lie to me? When did you show me my pictures?" "How do my friends know about all this stuff"I wanted to ask but I didn't.

I needed to figure out where was I yesterday evening and night, so I shouldn't ask Peter anything, " I told myself" 

I didn't talk much about anything with my friends. And I am going home on the 23rd evening (I checked the time and date more than 100 times on 23rd itself) having plenty of answerless questions in my mind.

I reached home, took my bath then having my snacks made by mum. With plenty of questions in my mind, I slept finally after an hour's struggle.

Next day: Rob woke up and saw the date and time it was 23rd November 7 AM then had breakfast and left the home casually.

Meanwhile, Peter woke up in his home and panting like an athlete who just completed a marathon and saw the date and time and of course, stunned!!!!
