6-page from the past


She woke up to find him near the window; the music was on the laptop and was playing some songs of Eminem. He was working and was totally unaware that Shrisha had woken up. She slowly and picked up a paper and began read it
“Nightmares again! They rule my life. Why do I have to have such nightmares again? Why did that event happened? Besides the nightmare there is no shade in my life. I go to college. I work, I hang out with friends but all I see is grey. No shade to my life or let’s say that there’ no color. Grey is supposed to have limitless shades but then again, they are all monotonous. I have neither will to live nor a will to die. Suicide! I’ve tried it a couple of times mostly cause the nightmares were too much for me. I’m a coward! Have neither guts to die nor the will to live. All I do is just waste oxygen. Pop’s stressed as hell too. Maybe he’s having nightmares of his own. I don’t care. Hell I don’t care about anything. I smoke too much, get drunk every night on cheap beers, drink a hell lota coffee. Yuuki and Sacar don’t know that I have relapsed back on coffee so there’s that but still… I don’t care even if they find out. Maybe I want them to find out because they’ll scold me for that. Maybe it’ll add some color to my life. Incomplete sketches fill my room, beer bottles litter my floor. Seriously if didn’t had this job, I might as well be dead!”
She checked if it had any date on it and it had. It was written about two months ago. She wanted to know more as to why he had this feeling so she picked up another paper and began to read it. She too had been through that phase but for her it lasted only a few weeks but judging from his thrown papers he had been feeling that way for more than two years. ‘wait!!! There are papers from two years ago?? That means that he hasn’t cleaned his room since at least two years. The blanket and the sheet looks clean though! so I guess he just hasn’t cleaned the floor.’ She looked at him again with more love this time. Her hadn’t budged an inch. He had been totally focused on his work. Suddenly his cell phone rings.
                It was Yuuki. ‘is Shri there? Sacar told me all about this morning.” “yup” “I’m coming!” “be my guest” and he puts down his phone and looks to see if Shrisha was still asleep just to find out Shrisha looking at him with a lovely but strange expression. “Don’t look at me like that.  I might just fall for you!” Shrisha jerks and shakes her head! “and yea that’s my action.” He adds “Looks like your habits are being transferred to me bit by bit” “You don’t want my habit” “that’s for sure!” and she fakes a laugh. He ignores her laugh and gives her a hug. “you can drop the tough act with me!” and Shrisha begins to cry again.
                Yuuki arrives sooner than anticipated and hugs Shrisha as soon as she reaches the room. Shrisha had somehow calmed by then but tear strands were still up in her cheeks. “did you make her cry?” she asks Aryan as soon as she sees the tear strands. “why the hell would I make her cry?” he replied. “you have a knack for saying wrong things at the right moments aho. “ “not my fault” she then turns to Shrisha and hugs her once more. After a while Shrisha calms down and laughs.  After they have finally calmed down after a while Yuuki begins to hit Aryan in a comical manner while screaming “baga baga baga” that kinda lightens the tense mood and all of them laughs for a while.
                It was soon evening and they all head towards their junction.  The evening was spent normally with no mention of what happened that morning. The condition was the same next morning too. They went on their normal routine with no mention of Eric or what had aspired the other morning. Aryan was acting surprisingly calm. It almost felt like he had done this before to Shrisha. Shrisha on the other hand was freaking out. She tried to act calm but she was a bad actor. She worried about what would happen that evening.

"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...
