Echoes of Absence (S1.EP6)

Erasing the eternal silence of the night and dimming the spread twinkling dots, a red circle rises from the horizon with the chirping sound of birds along with the vroom sound of vehicles. Well! I'm not a morning person but I've seen this red spot rising many times. I don't know what's different? But today the sun looks brighter, the skies look bigger and clear, the air becomes fresher and more energetic as if the oxygen level has increased in the atmosphere. And I'm getting a very weird feeling as if this world is trying to say something. And strangely this little piece of blood-pumping flesh is up to something, it's cooking something hot and spicy in there. I'm feeling surprisingly optimistic, also getting a bit scared to taste the day.

But why there is a smile glued on my face? Why are my eyes sparkling? And why am I humming a song? What kind of feeling is this? Is this called the happiness that I sense inside my heart? Or it's just Dhadak. What is it? But It feels Awesome and great, so let's resume the day with this. 

At work, 
"Dude! What's the matter? You are shining like a penny today. And what's about this unusual smile?" Kabir said. (One of my colleagues at work and a nice friend of mine)

I don't know man. It's the weather or just the coffee. (I said raising my coffee cup)

"Yeah! It's hot, don't let your tongue burn." (Kabir quoted)

We give each other a look as if we are challenging each other. Then he said, "Never lose faith, this world is full of unpredictable surprises". But it sounds more like a warning to me. 

What do you mean? And what the hell you are talking about? (I said)

"Nothing, just giving you some free advice." (He said gently)

Thank you but I don't need any. Currently, I'm living the best phase of my life. If anyone dares to go toe-to-toe with me on my best day, he really wanna have to taste some good coffee. I said this bit louder but I didn't realize it was loud and I emphasized the phrase "on my best day" a bit louder than usual. Well! It may sound like my arrogance but it's my confidence or maybe overconfidence. And to be honest, I don't care actually.

"Good luck." (Kabir replied)

Ok, let's make some money. I re-replied.

(This Heart still beats You ....)


In the evening,
While leaving the office I checked my phone. "Mr. Jaan. Are you on this planet or not?" It was written on the top of the chatbox of My Dhadak in WhatsApp. Yeah, I saved her name as My Dhadak. I know it's odd to address someone as ours. Well, we are in a relationship and that's okay. And that's not the thing we should focus on.

The intensity of the text can be assumed by the expression of my face which turns happy to sad then to worry and then tense. I think it's enough to describe the current mood of miss Dhadak. Well! I agree it's my fault. And I didn't reply to those texts because I haven't seen those till now. It was 58 texts and 19 missed calls. I know I'm doomed but it isn't my fault completely. I'm very bad at Mobile Phones. So without making her angrier, I call her. And with response to that, she cut the call in the first ring. Well! It's that bad. And have you heard the word "self-motivated"? Well, that will fail in this case. But my self-motivating skill is way more than normal. So I called her again. And the result is the same as the previous one.  Then I called her again, and again, and again. And after about 8 calls, she finally picked up and said "Nice landing on earth. I'm glad you returned safely. Now meet me at the park near your office.", then she cut the call without letting me utter a single word. Well! I'm not scared but frightened. I can imagine the whole scenario, what's gonna happen with me in a few minutes. God! Please, save me from her wrath.

She is sitting on a beach wearing a beautiful green and white dress, I don't know what's the actual color but it looks green. I walk towards her and stand in front of her. And I prepared myself to be surrendered.

To be continued ....
