Here the story begins with a guy
crying. It’s the rainy season and in the middle of the road there is an
accident. A body lays flat with blood all over the road, with the rain
spreading the blood. Suddenly he is in a dark corridor with lanterns hanging up
in the walls providing a faint light, just enough to see a few steps forward.
He walks through the small corridor with curiosity, wondering where it leads
to. After a lot of twists and turns and a walk which seems like days, he
finally reaches an opening. His crying had lessened down and he was somehow in
a stable mood. He rushes towards the opening and reaches a place from our story
began but he was not the once crying this time. He was just a spectator. Slowly he makes his way through the crowd,
pushing his way into the center where people had gathered and he sees himself,
well a younger version of himself crying, hugging a dead body. Yes! That was
his mother
*ring* *ring* he suddenly wakes up.
He rubs his forehead and lights up a cigarette and takes long puffs of them.
Damn he needed some smoke. “So it was another nightmare huh!” Speaking this he picks up his cell phone.
“Wake up moron! It’s our first day of the college.” A voice on the other side shouts up at him
“wait! It’s 6 already???” he replies “yup and hurry over to my house” and the
call ends. He walks over to his friend’s house and then they rush to the
university that they had joined.
In the college the day went
normally. He and his friend made some friends and talked about the most random
of things. There a girl caught his eyes. She was laughing and talking with her
group of friends. She had this bright aura that attracted him but he made no
attempt to talk to her as he was what you’d call a socially awkward guy. He
made some friends all right but that’s all thanks to his best friend
Sacar. The day finally ended with some
exchange of the numbers and facebook id.
“ so how did your day went? Found
anyone interesting???” Was Yuuki’s
question as soon as they reached their hangout spot. Aryan sipped a warm coffee
as he took in a deep breath. “No one interesting. Just made some friends and
that’s all.” Sacar added “all thanks to me. he barely even talked” “you are right. He barely talks. Wonder how we
are besties with this moron!” Yuuki added. They talked some more and drank some
more of the coffee at their spot.
It was a secluded spot inside an
ally, where they had made their hangout spot. The coffee was the best they
could find and it has been their hangout spot for quite a few years now, at
least more than two years. The spot was perfect for them. A whole building was
a café. The café “the ally’s sandwich hub” had some food, some alcohol, some
smokes and some beverages. They usually sat outside in the shade of the houses
and an umbrella while they talked and drank tea or coffee in Aryan’s case. To be
blunt Aryan was a caffeine addict during his high school days and had recently
quit. He smoked though and drank.
It was midnight a month after they
first joined the university and by this time almost everyone had added almost
everyone in their facebook. So as he was typing some nonsense lyrical poetry
while keeping the facebook in the background, a message popped in his facebook.
It said “hey. I know that we haven’t talked much despite being in the same
class but I really need an advice from you. Sacar suggested that you give some
really good advices so I turned out to you. Can we talk tomorrow???” it was
from Shrisha. “yea sure if you insist but I gotta admit that I’m bad at talking
so I don’t think that I’ll be of much help” “I guess I’ll know tomorrow.
Anyway, it’s midnight so I’ll leave you to do whatever you’re doing. Good
night” “goodnight” he replied and went back to his typing.
Light
I’m dark. As dark as
darkness can be
but I see
a light behind an eclipse
yea like a free
ray of light
you remind me of that
as I sat
in my seat and looked at you
all I could do
was just stare
and wish that I could caress
that beautiful face
that rest-
ed between your hands
as
you lay resting on your bench
clenched hands drenched
in sweat
of your spontaneous personality
like a light only I can see…

He wrote this and went to sleep. His pen name was Roi de scuro
which was Spanish, for “king of
darkness”.
