‘What am I even doing? Do I really wanna know? Why the hell am I
even alive? I should’ve died in that accident that took mom away from me. Why the hell am I even thinking these shits?
Am I supposed to just waste my life like this? What is my purpose? I think I’m
just a waste of oxygen here. Ah just sleep brain. Stop thinking these thoughts’
The morning came late. He was not
eager to go to college but he had nothing better to do. Reluctantly he dressed
up and started walking towards his college. It was some 20 minute walk from his
house plus added detour of 10 minutes which he had to go just to pick up his
friend. He rings up Sacar “oi! Get down soon. I’m outside” “I’m sick dude. Go
on your own today. See you later” “yea yea whatever. Just get well soon. I’ll
visit you later” and he walks towards his college alone with earphone in his
ears and a cigarette on his left hand while putting his right hand inside the
pocket.
A pat from behind “hey!” it was
Shrisha “Wait you smoke??” “yea. You don’t like it?” “actually I don’t care but
you should really quit. “ “I’ve got no reason to quit. It is said that people
start or quit a habit whenever they gain or lose something. I lost something
some time back and this habit formed. Gained something a while back and quit
something and it’s gonna take one or another to change this one” “Damn you are
a rude guy!” “You don’t like it?” “That’s the second time that you’ve asked me
this question in five minutes. Don’t you like me?” “Does it even matter?” “I
guess it kinda does. Anyway not the point. I need some suggestion from you.”
“Can’t you wait till the college’s over? I’m bad at giving suggestion without
coffee. Well I’m bad at giving the suggestions period” “let me be the judge of
that. Can you give me your number so I can call you after the college’s over?”
“Can’t you just tag along me after the college’s over?” “I could but it kinda
feels awkward and I kinda have to meet a high school friend after.” “Yea yea
sure sure. Here’s my number 98********. Just call me whenever you feel like
it.” They move in silence for a while “wanna talk?” Shrisha breaks up the
silence “Nope!” Shrisha puts a long face and they walk in silence to the
college
He was drinking coffee his room when
he gets the call from an unknown number. “Hey!” “Who the hell are you?”
“Shrisha!” “Oh! So where do you wanna meet?” “Straight to business eh? Let’s
meet at mangalbazar. Behind the Krishna temple and then we can go to some
café.” “Ok I’ll be there in 15 minutes” he hangs up the call and changes and
rushes out.
They meet up. Shrisha was wearing a grey
sweater with pink spots and blue tight jeans along with brown boots. He was
wearing green hood, a thermal coat, blue baggy jeans and a converse shoes with
a black bag. He looks at her and damn she looked cute. They do some small talk
before walking off in a random direction. When Shrisha asked him where they
were going he says that he was going to his junction. So they move in silence.
As they walk Shrisha starts to have flashbacks. So here’s a little bit of a
back story.
