Gone Highs In Life

Compared to other days, Today is chillier. Even half a kilometre run could not do any warm. Or perhaps it did, but Keira was too busy in hiding herself from a few people walking on deserted street.

This was not something she was doing for the first time. She has done it plenty of times. But Keira could not afford a risk because moment any known finds her with a guy on scooter, It could run bad and could create a trouble for her "sometimes" peaceful life.

She cross the deserted street and looks at her wrist watch just to find that it is already 7am. She is now waiting for Sam to arrive. Sam, as usual, has not even left from home yet. "This guy is getting on my nerves now" keira utters to her and speed dials his number. He picks up and she, with all force, shouts at him. After all she has been at risk and standing at a weird place so early in morning and this guy does not even care to come early so that she does not get to face the horror.

Anyways, Sam peace her out and promises to be there in two minutes. Seriously, who so ever started this "two minutes" lingo should just slice her head off in her feet right now. Keira blabbers for next 2 minutes and tries to hide between trees when some labour class people whistles at her. She hates this part of day. When she has to stand somewhere in public alone and has to tolerate whistles and sometimes ogling. Meanwhile, in between her thoughts of Men versus Dogs, she projects Sam on his Scooter which his forefathers left for him since Stone Age.

He comes from other side and takes a U-turn and gives an irritating morning smile "as if he has just come winning an F1 cup and a diamond ring for her". But then he knows he is been a slut to make her wait for so long and try to compensate with smile which ultimately melts Keira. She sits and hugs him from behind. There is something warm about him that she can’t keep her hands away from him. He is not a muscular fellow and neither a slim-trim Tea-pot. He is just a plump boy nourished with Punjabi pyaar. He runs scooter nicely while Keira takes out his left ear phone and plugs in to hers and takes a power nap on his shoulder. Now they both enjoy "Best of Me" by Bryan Adams while poor kids on roads take the shit out of their assholes and their mom heat up the last night's bread for morning brunch.

Finally Keira opens her eyes when they hit the valley's gate. She asks Sam to fetch Marlboro for her today. He bows down and gets it. They take a walk in valley and notice nobody. They find a bench in corner and sit there. As always, two old man suspects love making out of them two. But keira takes her notebooks out and Sam his lunch box. She starts with same line as always that:-
"She has made these notes for him all night long and he should pay full attention if he wants to get good marks so that we can find a good job offer and we can convince our parents and then we can marry and produce kids and die peacefully. Blah Blah...Phew!!"

After those lines, they both fag a cigarette.

They don’t speak a line to each other but Keira knows she is hitting a black hole. A black hole which does not produce any health for itself but rather sucks others'. She was still trying hard to set life as she wanted. This still has not occurred to her that life is bitch!

Keira gaze far across and Sam asks her if she is still upset about the other night. She nods. Sam takes a bite from lunch box and feed her. The taste neutralizes all feeling in Keira's head and she asks him to make a joint.

He takes out weed and start rolling it. She takes his laptop out and start fiddling. She does not know what to do when he is just obeying her and does not even participate or show up an activity. She is already done with her exam preparation and today she just wants to enjoy the day but she has to teach him. However, as always, he would not study at all and would rather keep the notes which he will study just for two hours and make chits for exam day to hide in his shoe so that he can cheat.

She does not give a damn about it. She just wants him to get good marks and she has seen in a year that he can’t study at all. She is noticing that he is growing it in a parasite but she is not making an effort to tell him the same. She is too tired and after stepping out of her not so peaceful home; she just wants to take over the world and enjoy a joint when she is alone.

Sam has fired the little tailored weed joint and after dragging initial cruel puffs, he hands it over to Keira. She takes three drags together and does not even remember what happened in last 15 minutes. She takes few more drags and sits like a dead silent oak.

She sits, gaze and crack a few conversations. She hands over notes to Sam and asks him if he has money for a movie. He arranges it and finishes the rest of food. They both take other walk, picks up scooter and leave for movie. Keira takes both the ear phones this time and plugs it into her. She takes a deep power nap till Sam wakes her up at the mall.

They go inside, pick up tickets, watch movie and decide to leave for home. Again a power nap till the same deserted street comes into reality. Sam drops her and she waves bye with a true fake smile.

She takes same way back but turn right towards temple. She is not in mood to go home. She go straight and then left. She takes her shoes off and straight goes upstairs, sits on the cold marble flooring and fold her hands. She bows down and rings the bell above her head. She listens to the prayers happening around and closes her eyes to decide if she really wishes to pray. She sits saintly for few minutes with all the forces driving her to maintain her cold shoulder for world and for GOD but she gives up soon with a tear rolling on her cheeks.
