Anklets- the tinkling sound of responsibilities

Image
My heart stopped and my world became dark when the nurse said, "Sorry." My heart didn't beat fast but a chill got down my spine. I stood there staring at the eyes of the nurse totally clueless. I didn't even move an inch, the nurse handed me something which I didn't even bother to care about. My lips were partly open but had no words. "This is all that belonged to her." She said from under her two-layered mask." Don't worry about burning the dead body, we will do so for you. Pay off all the bills on the counter there." She pointed out at the counter and turned her back at me, I stared at her back until she disappeared into one of the rooms. My feet refused to move and I just stood there waiting for the nurse to come back with mom. But she never came. I got hit by a ward boy and he murmured angrily, "Don't stand in the way." He pushed me and rushed with a patient. He was totally covered in blue plastic, just like the nurses and...

Silhouette

  When I got out of the car I got to walk some 10 minutes to my house as the car didn't fit in that narrow lane. I was accompanied by no one so I had to walk 10 mins all alone. It was not a busy lane mainly because it was a Sunday. The town is almost closed on Sundays except for the essentials like medical shops and the only district hospital it has. I was terrified while walking down that narrow lane and I still remember the sound of silence. I can literally hear my heart thumping as if it's about to come out at any moment. The lane had no street lights on, so my only supporter at that moment was my mobile phone's flashlight whose battery was also about to die.  The road was dark and dead silent. I can literally hear no one except for my own footsteps. For a moment I felt like I was followed by someone but when I turned around I discovered it is my own steps. I was so terrified not only because I was alone but because it was almost 11pm, too dark to be real, I was a little...

Platform no 2

Image
"May I have your attention, please? 1-3-1-4-2 Teesta Torsa express is arriving shortly on platform no.2" the lady's announcement didn't even bother me a little. I didn't move and continued brooding like I was doing for the past few hours. My elbow resting on my thigh, and my head dug into my hands, my back slowly started to pain as I am bowing for so long. I really don't care about the time at this moment, I just want to stay in this position till I breathe my last breath. I was gripped by the feeling of hopelessness. The depression I was suffering from is on another level. It felt like I can't even face the light but yet I came here to the railway station all by myself facing every single ray of light on my way. I wanted to cry aloud but just then I hear a group of voices 'Nah! Boys don't cry.' I want to yell at them 'We too have feelings!!!' but I could only imagine yelling this to anyone because there is literally no one around me at...

Heavy tears

Image
  In search of a peaceful place, in search of paradise, I came too far into the dales I didn't even realised. I looked up at the sky filled with dusky clouds, The screaming words inside wanted to be heard loud. The aching heart can hold the pain no more, I observed the clouds up there they were also about to pour. I felt a warm drop trailing it's path down my cheek, A drop of cold water from above made me go weak. Unable to hold back it's own insecurities and fears , The cloud also burst, pouring down it's heavy tears. Staring at nothing and feeling so lost, trying to deal with a pain so unreal, I stood there watching at the en d less sky thoroughly drenched with heavy tears.

A love so impossible

Image
  A night so peaceful, Trying to meet his beloved so beautiful. He's waiting there to see a glance of her, But all he can see is a green horizon. 'Let me meet her once' he pleads to dawn, It waves him away knowing that this can never be done. Dawn is amazed by his innocence, He loves the one who doesn't cares about his presence. A hope of ray glisters from the horizon, The world screams 'Here is THE  SUN!' Night grew excited to see his beloved, But thing he didn't noticed is that his heart is faded. Dawn welcomed the day with a smile so warming, The sun rose from the horizon  brightly shining. Dawn bade her goodbye with a hope to meet  again tomorrow, World bade goodbye to dawn with a feeling of sorrow One may ask 'what about the night? ' Well he struggled to see through the light. Dawn  looked at the faded night, 'I told you' he said with a pitty smile.   [AN:Do leave a comment if you like it🥰♥️]

The Empty Flat

Image
I woke up to a beautiful scenario of birds chirping and the sun slowly settling its rays on the earth. I went to the balcony and admired the scenic beauty until mom called me.  After having my breakfast I relaxed a bit and bathed and washed my clothes. I went to the terrace to sundry my clothes. As I climbed upstairs I passed through flat no. 18. I heard creaking sounds. 'The residents might be shifting the furnitures' I thought and went my way.  As I reached the terrace I saw Salini di smoking a cigarette. I wished her "good morning" and started clipping my clothes on the wire.  "Did you heard about flat no.18?" She asked. "Umm not yet. Why? what is it?" I asked still continued doing my work. "Well, the residents are leaving again." "Again?" I raised my brows " it's been hardly a year"  "Well, you know" she shrugged. They are probably the 9th resident who was living in the flat and are now leaving.  ...

A rupee has different values

Image
  Deepak got a rupee coin as change from the sweets he have bought. He examined the coin and put it in his pocket. The rupee has no value in his pockets. A 10 yrs old kid, who belongs to a rich family already has enough of what one can ever ask for. Being the only child, he gets everything on his plate at just a snap of his finger, unlike the beggar, he passes by.  The beggar spread his hands in front of him and looked at 10 years old with the hope that he will give him something. The only thing the 10 years had was the 1 rupee coin in his pocket. He recalled his mom's words " always help the needy". The ten years examined the beggar, debating whether he is needy or not, then finally decided to give him the coin. He took out the warm coin from his pocket and tossed it at the beggar's small bowl and walked away. The coin's value changed. The coin which was insignificant in Deepak's pocket got its value. The small rupee coin brought a smile to the beggar's f...

FACE

Image
  It was steamy weather and the sun was just on the top of my head ready to challenge me and make my hide more difficult. But I am also stubborn, I am also not going to remove my thick scarf from my face. After all, it is the only way I can save these people around me from getting the worst view of their life.  The scorching sun is disturbing me and I am sweating heavily, but no one can see or understand my pain under that scarf. The only part of my face that is visible is those sad eyes of mine that hold nothing but a dark story of pain. I want to cry aloud, scream at top of my lungs but I haven't got enough energy left inside me. Going to college after a long gap and with a new face is so challenging. I wanted to live a normal life like before. But nothing is left as before. How can I expect my life to be the same as it was before- NORMAL? Yes, NORMAL- these six letters are all I need my life to be right now. I somehow gathered courage and convinced my parents that I will go...
