ALONE in the empty sky is what haunts me, I searched the sky and I found nothing except dreams that were never fulfilled
People may or may not believe in existence of super natural but as soon as they encounter something unexplainable then their beliefs and understanding is challenged with no option except to find a reason to explain why it happened. Like such this incident that happened to me made me rethinking and redefine my definition about the existence of supernatural.
“Bull shit, sprits and ghosts are stories of tales and myths. Life is full of fun, music and magic. It’s how you live and make it work. Why waste your time in something that is dead. You know something in real, a person when alive could not do anything and the same person after death would stand and haunt others, its rubbish. It’s a weak psychological behavior, a mentality that our parents have groomed us into just to instigate the aspect of fear in our life. Who would believe in such a thing,” said me a year back.
Colors of Sky that changes according to time and situation
And now things are different, if you ask me now then I would say like the balance in nature, things do exist. There is a will and a way of the supernatural, which cannot be denied. They exist and it’s not a joke, its reality that lives within us but we fail to recognize and realize it.
Mom: Babu isn’t it time for you to come back home
Me: Maaa can I have some space
Mom: If you’re not leaving right now the doors will be closed
Me: Okay I’m coming, you know something this is wrong and against my rights, it’s
generation gap…………………where is my freedom let me live ……………..
Mom: I don’t care get yourself here or else you’re not coming home
I went out to the parking lot and there was this skinny guy who looked and smiled at me. He first offered me to help. I said NO, then he said parking cost and I was like what the hell, who pays a parking cost in a private party, he said you. Okay I took out a Nrs 10 note and slapped it on his face. He smiled and said It’s fifty.
what the F###### ?
Who pays Nrs 50 for parking, but then had to pay, there was no escaping and perhaps I was getting late so I looked into my purse and could not find a spare note. I went inside and inquired with my friends no one had a spare change. Then a lady came in, and said I overheard you conversation can I help, …..
In her sexy voice she offered a Nrs 50 note. She was in her late 30’s very sexy and outgrown like a cougar, a beast who was ready to pound on anything that she could find.
Yukh I only had that expression. Still as said necessity is mother of all invention so despite being uncomfortable and uneasy, I smiled and thanked her for the note and thought May be it was Not My Day!!!!!!!!!
You know something, who would like to be pounded by an old woman that’s gross man.
I went outside and paid the smart ass the money then I looked at my watch and it was 11:45PM.
Life is full of excitement speed makes you feel young
You know how we all have been conditioned with the fact that our parents say you don’t go out when it’s 12 o’clock. I was happy it was not 12 and giving oneself the explanation, I moved on with the chilling air and the empty road simply excited me. I was lost in the silence and presence that made me feel
absolutely contained.
The road was open and as I like to say it, when there is no traffic, you speed up Zoom-Zoom-Zoom. The night was so smooth that you could even hear the sound of your echo, and just like a cold scotch it drifted in your mind with peace and stance. In-fact that day I realized one thing that when there is less sound and no traffic you are more excited and there are more chances of accidents happening as your enthusiasm is uncontrollable and you unleash your inner desire of speeding.
It’s an addiction to ride at night when there is so much to explore and less things to understand you minds gets active and sharp. You feel free to accept the freedom and peace of mind. Out of the blues in a distance my head light beam focused in a distorted image on the edge of the road. It was a humanly shaped thing but I could not figure out. In a split second the distance lessened and I could see a girl walking down the lane that too alone.
A girl waiting for a Lift
My mind was sharp and it made me think, what a girl was doing in the middle of the night that too within such scenario. I was surprised as the distance closed in I could see the girl’s face and she was in her party dress and was crying. Tears were roaring down her eyes as if something had gone loose. At first, I had no feelings or thinking why a girl in her late teenage would be doing in an empty street this late but thinking who care? I minded my business and I stop myself from thinking.
I still remember as I approached she made its more toward the lane. I wondered why but to my surprise it hit me as I thought I had seen her in the party that I was in. As I approached her my curiosity and interest grew with the fact that I was also scared of thinking anything beyond it to be was just a coincident. A coincident that I could just feel and to embrace my fear upon the existence of what I was about to encountered. I had no clue of what was about to happen? It just was a plane form of an ordinary surprise that life was about to play on me.
I stopped my bike in courtesy of being a gentle man and she came up to me
Me: Hello
Her: Yes
Me: I think I saw you in the party
Her: Was it
Me: What are you doing alone
Her: I’m lost
Me: How come?
Her: I have always been
Me: What, are you saying
Her: Then what should I?
Me: Do you know me?
Her: Yes, I do
Me: How ?
Her: I have been following you
Me: Why?
Her: Coz you were the only guy in the party who was not looking at me …..
Me: Was that so
Her: Yes
She said her name was Shreeyukta, it was my birthday party that you went to. I was really surprised and I wished her a BELATED HAPPY BIRTHDAY.
She explained it was my birthday and I was celebrating. I received a call from my parents so I had to leave early and my car broke down and someone is getting it fixed. In the party everyone danced with me and you were the only one left behind and you showed no interested so I had noticed you. On my way my father called me and shouted me on not reaching home, so I was crying. Then she requested me for a ride to her home. To my shame I went to her party and fail to wish her. Most importantly, I went to the party late so I had my reasoning of not being so obvious in the party but still thinking of the mannerism, I accepted her proposal of giving her a lift.
One thing really struck me as I had came the same way and the road was clear, there was not even a single car that was stalled. I had seen a bloody spot in the road and someone had mentioned, of an accident site few blocks away that took place at 11:00PM and I thought it was a road kill. I remembered few of the people going out during the party but things look normal. I just felt she was trying to impress me, so I ignored.
On the way, she started singing and at times she would stop and again she would start. It felt as if she was high with no control over her feelings and emotions. I was thinking may be in my attempt of being a gentleman to what problem I had got myself into, I started feeling vain.
Condolences to the Departed
But on the other side of my mind, I had the notion that at least I was helping someone who was in dear and near need of help. Then I asked her the direction and she told me she lived near the Naxal’s posh area. I took her to the exact location where she wanted me to. The house was big and luxurious few cars were stationed outside and I was surprised, to my amazement it was so dark and there were no guards. As soon as she arrived, she got out of my bike and said thank you. She was so happy that she even kissed me on my cheeks and said MAY GOD ALWAYS BE WITH YOU. To my understanding, why this dialogue was a question. You know how girls are you never can understand them, they are simply over your head. As said, even god cannot understand a woman then being a mere human body how could I even try.
But still, I was surprised the way she changed her expression from the time I met, during the journey and now when she arrived at her home. My mind not clears about what she was trying to tell me.
She was so happy and was a complete different person. I looked at her and I could feel the peace and patience which was not there. To be precise she was glowing and I could not understand but to have done something good where being a gentle man always makes you feel good. I dropped her there and I took her leave.
Next day, I was going through my face book and saw loads and loads of her pictures. In-fact it was her birthday yesterday and her friends had thrown her a party. Then, I started checking the News feed on my facebook to the hell of marry, I saw condolences messages saying
FAREWELL SHREEYUKTA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WE WILL MISS YOU
I stood silent for a second and could not even speak; all hell was broken loose to me. The girl that was flesh and blood yesterday how could she have died in a night. So I called up my friend who invited me to the party and inquired about her, the phone rang and I had no patience as soon as he spoke
Deepak: Hello
Me : Hey brother
Deepak: How are you?
Me: Listen, the party that you invited me yesterday, whose party was it
Deepak: In a very tragic voice, it was Shreeyukta’s and she is no more
Me: What how come? I met her yesterday night
Deepak: Yes we all did, it was during her return that she had an accident just outside the party venue
Me: Funny thing, I met her while I was returning, she said her car was stalled
Deepak: How can that happen, she had her accident at around 11:00 PM and you left at 11:45 PM
Road that never ends, You just have to walk endless till the time you feel its over
I was speechless and I had nothing, no emotions or feelings I was just empty and for the first time in my life I was lost of words. I was silent for hours as I had no explanation of what had happened or what was going through my mind? How was it possible? How could someone who was died could be present in reality was my question and I’m searching the answer……………………..
