“I heard a creepy sound.
My heartbeat rose...”
***
A kid was playing with the
sand. He was building his own
castle and then he put his two
clay toys.
“So, how’s life?” It was my best
school friend.
“Good”.
We were in the Coffee shop
near to the beach. Meeting
him after a long time.
“What have you planned to
do next?”
“Clear my backlogs”
“Backlogs?”
“Yeah. What about you?” I
tried to divert the topic
“Me? It is done.”
“Done? What do you mean?”
“It is over. Wake up dude !!!”
I woke up. Sun rose. It was
Monday.
***
The same kid, playing with
the same sand. He added few
water drops to strengthen it.
Then he put two clay toys. The
first one seems different. It
looked like a female.
“So. How’s life?”
I turned back. It was my sister.
“Fine”.
“What have you planned
to do next?” she said after
having a sip.
“What have you?”
“Me ? I think I need to go
France again. It was nice. I will
ask father.And I loved Dubai.
What have you planned to do
next?”
“Nothing !”
“Can you get me some
water?”
“What did you say?”
“Get me some water”
“Why?”
“I need them.”
“I can’t”
“Why? Please get me some
water”
“I can’t. They are out there”
“Where are they, my son?”. It
was my father.
“Here is your water, Darling”.
He turned back to me and
asked
“Where are they my son?”
“Dad!”
“What have you planned to
do next?”
“Don’t know”
“GOOD FOR NOTHING.” He
smiled.
“Dad please!”
“Your Haircut looks good.”
“Thanks dad.”
“What are you gonna do?
They are waiting for you
outside, don’t they?”
“Yeah.”
“So , What are you gonna
do?” It was my mom!
“Mom!”
“Run, my son! They are gonna
kill you!”
“No, don’t. Face them!”
“But dad, how?”
Sudden Applause.
***
The same person who gave
the speech in the college!
“If hope would cure a cancer
patient, then fear would kill
even an ulcer patient. Fear. It
is the biggest weakness for the
whole human society. If man
would have feared lightning
and fire, he wouldn’t have
survived. He came across that
fear and made leaps in the
history of civilization. Never
fear. Never ever.”
Applause in an Empty
Seminar Hall.
“Be alert. For the world
would stamp you down, if you
aren’t.”
“Run, my son. They are gonna
kill you. Go to Zee polis”
“Wake up dude. It is over.”
***
Woke up. I heard a creepy
sound. My heartbeat rose.
