Finally the day ends...

I was left speechless on reaching the spot. I again took back my words, “Sir Lemo DOES HAVE BAD TIMING.” He was standing there with Angel. On seeing him there, I came to a screeching halt which was enough to grab his attention. He looked at me and said, “Yes Sir, what makes you come back here?”

What excuse shall I make?

“Aahh…I, I just came looking for Angel for, for, for…to know the program for tomorrow? “ I said stammering.

“Program? Are you two going out somewhere? Angel, dint you tell him about OA’s visit tomorrow? He needs to be there.” Sir Lemo said looking at Angel with disbelief that how could she forget such an important thing. Before, her sweet voice could come out, I jumped in.

“No, no. You are taking it wrong Sir. She did told me and I came to ask her about the timing of the meeting only. I mean, I wanted to tell her that, that…she should wake me up in time so that I can get ready!” Oh, what a stupid excuse I had made.

“Oh, don’t worry on that. All of us here will make sure you are there on time. But for the moment, you must sleep early so that you are up and fresh tomorrow. I will leave for now. Take care children” And he left, leaving me and Angel.

Angel, who had remained a mute spectator during the conversation, finally spoke, “That was a close shave.”

“It really was. But what was he talking about to you?” I asked.

“He was just making sure that no one said or acted anything about your spitting the food. He felt a bit concerned also, in fact worried about what might happen tomorrow. May be, and only may be, God too may come.” She said looking at Sir Lemo walking away.

“Forget about tomorrow, talk about the present. You said you wanted to meet me?” I quickly changed the topic. But Angel dint seem in the mood.

“Yeah, just wanted to let you know that I love you. I thank God for sending you here. I don’t know what future holds for us, so just wanted to let you know. Now I think we must retire to our rooms.” She said and walked away.

Though she said a big thing but still I felt she dint say the complete thing she intended to. She was hiding something surely. The talk between her and Sir Lemo was much more than what she told me. I followed her, “Angel wait.”

“Not now Gurpreet, we will talk tomorrow. We both need rest now. Take care.” And she increased her pace and within an instance she went inside her room. I was left stranded. Then I too went inside mine and lay down on the floor. The firefly’s box was emitting light in one corner; slight breeze was coming in through the dark holes on the ceiling and I was tired enough to doze off. When I closed my eyes, I just wished for one thing, “I hope I wake in my bed in the morning.”

Finally the day had come to an end. It started with spending time with anxious parents, then the tornado flinging me in the air, me landing here, climbing the tree to eat fruits, sliding down the PTI, Earthlings Information Center, Sir Lemo, spending time with Angel, then hating mine and my fellow earthlings actions, then my room, then dinner  and now off to sleep. Tomorrow morning the eyes will surely see something new, I believed.

In my dream that night I imagined Angel was with me on Earth and we had planned a road trip in my Aston Martin. And an officer stops me on the highway for over speeding and Oh My God, he is Sir Lemo. After paying the fine we move ahead and suddenly a baby rhino comes on the road. I applied the brakes on time. He goes away and we continue with our trip. Rain starts falling and Angel loves the scent of wet mud in the air. All of a sudden, my car slides on the wet road and it’s out of control. It hits the divider and topples 4-5 times. I realize my body is dead and my soul is being pulled towards a force in the sky. I don’t know what happened to Angel. That force then sends my soul on NASA, the other planet. 

OOHHH…I sat up suddenly. What was that? I look around; I was still in the room which Angel introduced me too. I tried to recollect, which is reality and which was a dream. Ok, the accident was a dream and Earth being destroyed is the reality. I sat panting. I looked up at the holes, the day had started. I could sense it was dawn. I lay down again but couldn’t sleep. So decided to take a bath, get ready and move out. 

Move out to the unknown..my meaning and purpose of my life was to be defined in a while!!!
