SOME LOST DAYS

Hey!? atleast tell me what's the catch? this time she didn't stop, ignored me with that dubious smile &walked away. I took that as a chore, put my hands in the pocket & walked back.

I could hear the metro passing by, the traffic on the road, the rush. Rajiv Chowk is one of the busiest station in delhi. I crossed the road and stood next to the stall.

 "advance?"

{lights up the cigg}  

something was definitely strange today. why, what happened?  Shrey asked. I didn't know what to say exactly. I remained quite &was watching the smoke rising up in the air. he tapped on my shoulder, chuckled& said 

" Tu lite le".

**I like me better, when i'm with you, the music popped up** 

I said sorry, i need to pick this up, catch ya later. hey mom, yea i'm right on my way home, yea the shift ended, in the cab right now, yea i had lunch, yea, yea... be back in hour, ttyl. ugh, she still thinks of me like a 10 year old. 

....

Okay so, I have a work profile in noida as a data science analyst, I happen to live there 5 days a week and come home at weekends. the work load is too much these days, the process department hasn't escalated my project yet & I still can't find any bugs in my piece. But this is not my concern right now.

I can't understand her, sometime she's like a love angel who has poured every inch of her in me, but sometimes she's no other pandora box to me. oh god! am i in love? no its bullshit. 

karen, she's my client's legal associate, its like a month now, we were in a living relationship till today. I still can't remember how it started, but all i could remember, that we were in a office party, perhaps the whiskey got us both down, & we end up in my apartment. I was being a gentleman, she even puked on me, so i couldn't leave her right there. so i pulled her up to my door.  she was too stubborn & refused my help even though she wasn't even able to stand properly. so i was behind her, so just she doesn't fall on the stairs supporting with my hands a little.

"hol' up, bitch, sit down! be humble"

she screamed! & started singing some real nigga rap shit, to be honest i was then unsure about bringing her here, cuz she seemed to be some real badass kinda girl. she screamed again, i was like yea i'll, first, lets get in? 

suddenly she lost her balance & fell on me, thank to god i had my one hand on the grilling, or else we both have died in the staircase like stupid drunks.  I lift her up from the waist, and get her in, put her on the bed & turned the lights off, pulled the curtains up. It was a full moon night, the moonlight was on her face in those white covers.

I played some music in low volume, prateek kuhad was on the dial. 

poured some whiskey for myself, scratched the couch near the window, sippping wine, staring the moon and that mystery i bought with me today. 

with the night, the music starts fading too.. 

**is geherai se bekhabar ho bhi jau toh, mai befikar hu madhosh ho bhi jau toh..**

7 in the morning, 

*alarm buzzed*

i found myself slept on the couch, i turned around looked the bed, she wasn't there, until the next second she entered with the pancakes in her hands while creating the aroma all over in the apartment. 

we had coffee, good talk, pan cakes. and then it happened between us, she starting coming over daily. everything was smooth, we even made a  bucket list, helped each other with work. 

till yesterday, she didn't show up since last week, and asked me to meet her at the station, and i still don't know what was the catch, until now, 

when i switched on my TV and found out that she jumped in front of the metro &its all gone. 

  

INHUMAN

 Oh god! Just increase the intensity. Kill that bastard, as fast as you can! stab a knife in his gut, take out all he's got, we’ll roast the meat and keep the rest for the “Carnival”, the crowd squalled.

Thousands of people, with posters in their hands, burning thermacol bodies representing that one.

General thoughts? that guy must have done something very devious! or else all this unexpected jubilation on someone's last breath seems very barbaric.

RAPIST! MURDERER! NECROPHILE!

worst they all say, I must say he was a satan in place of a human, that lifeless hung body which has suffered as much as light, one could say the sky jerks out in a thunderstorm.

Sounded very nasty, but all i could see the hundreads of people blowing skyshots in the air, cheering their throat out, it was no doubt a good feeling, the world was a better place to live without this devil on the streets, and everything was smooth, looked like a New year’s eve, everybody drunk and out, the joy was swaddled.

then the body was loosed down, the crowd wreathed, rupture that poor soul apart into hundreads of pieces, the urge was at second-rate.

everything was at pace unless i saw a lady standing in the corner, standing numb. i was stunned to see her, the only one not celebrating in the crowd full of ecstatic people.

I happened to get near to her, it was maladroit, all we could see the immense light show in the dark sky, and revelry.

I asked in oddity, hey lady, who are you?& why are you not rejoicing, anything wrong?

she didn’t utter a word at first, i kept looking at her, i asked again, then she answered. That weeping voice was so deep that the whole crowd got mute for a second, i sensed the tremendous sorrow in her voice, and she said very calmly.

yeah, its a great  day! didn't you brought any piece of that poor soul for meat. I replied, no i still find that gore, but my sister wasn’t raped nor killed so i can’t say about the anguish in people.

she saw me with that teary eyes, and abruptly! someone threw a human-head in front of us, saying, take it home mommy! we have scrounged those beautiful blue eyes out of him, no use for the rest, “MOTHER OF A DEVIL SON!”.

**scene faded** All i could remember that old lady sobbing with that head in her arms next to me, calling us all INHUMAN.

“NOTHING, JUST INHUMAN IN THE NAME OF HUMANITY”

throwing a bible, covered with his son’s blood in the crowd, &then even the god was below the toes of these cold-blooded, merciless creatures.
