NOT YET




“SURV;VE” That’s the tattoo in his wrist. He then pulls up his hood to go back to his home from the jog he was on. A dark house where no sunlight touches the floor. It’s a messed up home. papers thrown everywhere, dimly lit room, smell of coffee and booze and two pictures hanging on the wall. He looks at each of them and smiles.
     It was soon 7 o’clock. He dresses up for work with his suit and ironed pant and just as he was about to put on his shoes, he remembers that he was fired from the job yesterday. “damn I forgot that shit” well it was his fault technically since he punched the teeth off his boss. He has some anger issues and yet none of his colleagues knew about that. He only had a few friends and most of them were far away from him. “guess I led them there” he speaks as he changes to his casual wear and picks up his bag.
     “don’t you have a job to go to? What the hell are you doing here?” Sia greets him as soon as he appears “that’s how you greet your daily customer?” “you ain’t just a customer to me. you are a dear friend to me as well” she smiles ‘someone I love if I must add’ thinking that she pours him a cup of coffee “NO SUGARS PLEASE” he speaks. “you’ve been coming here for more than three years buddy. Even other customers know how you prefer the coffee and I think there’s a girl waiting for you at table 3. Yes, she’s back. Go to her” as he slowly turns towards table 3 he sees a familiar face
     “it’s not snowing. How come you’re here?” SLAP he got slapped “is that how you greet someone whom you haven’t seen for a year?” “why the slap?” “I’ve been trying to contact you for past eight months idiot. What the hell happened to your cell phone?” “ I broke it and lost all the contacts. In fact Sia’s the only person who has my new contact number. And what if I hadn’t come?” “she told me that you come here everyday so I had faith in your habit. I guess you two are good friends?” “I guess I love her” so finally you got over her?” “yup” “congrats buddy” and with that they hugged “missed you Yuki” “missed ya too moron”
     They talked for a while and after a while Sia joined her conversation. That was the first and last time that they three had a conversation together.
     It was around 5pm when they got up from the table and prepared for departure. As they were about to cross the road an out of control car hit yuki and she died on the spot. He and Sia rushed her to the hospital. Time slowed for him and he tumbled across the stairs that they were climbing up. His heart beat slowed BP dropped and his body went numb.
     “what the hell are you doing here?” he heard Yuki’s voice “where am i? thought you were dead?” “I am dead” “so I died too?” “not yet! Look.” Yuki pointed towards the horizon of that black space. He was Sia crying over his body. “live my dear friend. If not we’d be stuck here forever” “but I have nothing to live for. No friends, no family, no job, no nothing” “look at her. She cared for you. Sa long as you have a friend that cares for you, your life is worth is. And what the hell happened to your gang?” “they all died a year back. We were on a plane, sky diving and none of their parachutes opened. I was the lucky one. Tears rolled down from his eyes “you said you love her, live for her sake.”
     “What happened to him? Please don’t die. I won’t be able to live if you die. DOCTOR!!!” Sia screamed. Yet no one came. Time slowed down for her. Each second seemed like hours. “DOCTOR” she screamed again yet no one came “Please don’t die. I LOVE YOU! I’ll be there for you. Please don’t die”
     “see! You hear that?” Splot. “what the hell is that?” he asked to Yuki “that’s her tears. It’s crossing dements I guess. Go live” and Yuki disappeared from that black space. Then another tear fell from Sia’s eyes. He breathed hard as he felt his heartbeat returning to normal. “thought you died. Please don’t leave me” Sia cried as she hugged him. “NOT YET” he said as he smiled.

3-Monochrome

"Why is the world so dark and grey? It seems like I am being the same thing I wanted to change, the same beast I sought to fight against '' was the first thing he thought one morning when he woke up. The past three months had been kind to him in some terms and in other terms had been bad as well but he had lost the light that he once had but rather just like his poem said he was now in a grey zone. He still was the emo king that he always was but something inside him had changed and that something inside him had been speaking for quite a while since the past three months. He needed to change.  "This voice is not her's anymore, this feeling is not her's anymore, it is something different and it is something new, what is it though? Whose voice is this?" he thought as he sketched one day. This was a large scale charcoal sketch that he was working on and it was as large as his room wall that is 8 feet by 12 feet. Now with him taking on other small scale jobs,...

ALMOST REMEMBER

Well he is a weird guy to begin with. Doing random stuffs, talking about the most unexpected of things at most unexpected of times. He woke up that night to the sound of thunder. Not because he was scared of it but because the thunder called out to him. He went up to the terrace and watched the sky. It was beautiful. He stared at the sky for some time and a fragment of memory came to his mind      It was a thundering evening and he just had a fight, big fight with one of his closest friend. He had gone to his music class with a gloomy face and she had tried to cheer him up. No! he couldn’t remember her name or face but he just remembered that she was someone important to him. The thunder jolts him back from his stream of memory.      He spent the whole day trying to remember who that person was. Maybe she…No she definitely was a part of the memory that had been blocked. He was restless the whole day. Soon it was evening and he had a hab...

A regular - Chapter 2

It all began with a small idea for them. They were just graduating from the university when the talk about an idea began. At first it was just a side fantasy for them. I mean they just graduated from the university; they still have to do other jobs to sustain their pocket money. But as they began to talk more and more about the idea the idea seemed not so impossible. The idea was about a small private business about the ear accessory. They began to frantically save for their small dream. After a year of saving they finally managed the starter money. As both of them Kusal and Biplov has side jobs to go to they made a tea shop near a pond their meeting and discussing point. They became regulars to that tea shop. They smoked, drank coffee, wrote down their ideas for the starting point and where to store their product. As they discussed the idea about being an online shop seemed more feasible in accordance to their current situation. After more than fourteen months of planning and...
