He had no idea where he was. The last time he had remembered, he was drinking lemonade with his girlfriend in the porch. She had invited him home for the first time… the reason wasn’t clear.. it was about her sister. He had come to support her. But how did he reach here was still mystery for him. He looked at himself. He was sitting on wooden chair with his hands and legs tied to chains. He observed his surroundings. It was a dark room though a tiny flickering bulb manage to dispel light across the room.
He saw a figure on the other side of the room. It was a human form which did bring a little relief to him. However this didn’t last long. He saw the person sharpening his tools. He wasn’t sure the reason for why was the person doing that. He tried to release himself. But the chains were too tight. He felt restless. He wanted leave this dreadful place. Where was she? He had to find his girlfriend.
The person he assumed to be human appeared towards him. It was really close to him with drill machine roaring loud. His eyes were wide open with fear. The fear was due to two main reason- One was because the human person in front of him was far from being human. It was a devil in form of demonic creature. He couldn’t describe what it looked like. Maybe it was due to second reason which was the roaring drilling machine. The creature had bought it next to his thighs.The distance between the his flesh and drilling machine was less. He screamed loudly. Unfortunately his screams were unheard because the room was basement that was two floors below the actual house.
**** Three years back ****
It was beautiful morning. The birds were chirping , creating their own tune of welcoming the morning. The raindrops of last night was still fresh on the green leaves of the plants and trees. The sun had just woken up from it’s nap. Few early risers had began their day with the walks and other business. Arjun was literally sleep walking on the jogging track. It wasn’t his mistake but his friend’s persistence of losing the weight on the tummy.
He was thin though he had few calories stored on his tummy. He didn’t had to wake up so early. Unfortunately he had to support his friend’s wish of being there for him. However he realized that it wasn’t the weight but for a girl. Apparently she would come at this time to buy red roses. He had caught him red handed when his friend had spilt out the truth behind his morning walk during one of their alcoholic nights.
Though he refused to come, but his friend’s ongoing request to accompany him made Arjun to say yes. As usual he found a bench where he could sit and take few minutes of nap. He had almost settled when he saw his friend’s dream girl buying red roses from the vendor. She indeed was a beauty fallen down to the earth. His body came to life at one glance at her. He looked around him. There were men who stopped doing what they were doing and was simply looking at her. No wonder his friend loved his morning walks and especially gazing at the girl who bought red roses.
