HAPPINESS

#FridayFotoFiction

(Oct 23, 2017)

It was New Year's Eve party.

Around the campfire, all the happy faces, except one.

And yes, that was me.

But I had no idea why I was unhappy. I was unhappy because she was not with me, or I was unhappy because she was enjoying life without me. At that moment I had no idea that this night will change my life completely.

That night I realised “Happiness comes only to those who want to adopt it.” and I decided to give myself one another chance.

Since that day, I started enjoying the small things. Started salsa classes to learn something new and eventually I got few new friends. Gradually I found a new man inside me, and over the time I came to know that my own existence is far better than someone else's.

Finally, I became the same old man who was lost somewhere between reality and repentance.

NEW HOME

#FRIDAYFOTOFICTION (OCT 15, 2017)

अपनी शिफ्ट ख़त्म करके मैं और माधव घर जा रहे थे. मैं कुछ देर पहले हुई बारिश से भीगी सड़क से उठते हुए धुए को देख रहा था. अचानक रोड के किनारे मुझे कुछ दिखाई दिया.

'माधव प्लीज गाडी रोको', मैंने तेज़ी से अपनी सीट पर बैठते हुए कहा.

माधव ने गाडी रोकी और हम दोनों उस जगह पहुँच गए. सड़क के किनारे एक छोटा सा परिवार था जिसमे दो बहुत ही छोटे बच्चे घटना से अनजान खेल रहे थे मगर उनकी माँ के पैरों से खून बह रहा था, शायद किसी ने उसके पैरों को कुचल दिया था.

मैंने माधव की मदद से उन्हें तुरंत गाडी में लिया और हम पास के हॉस्पिटल पहुँच गए. तक़रीन आधे घंटे बाद हमे डॉक्टर ने कहा की हम उन्हें घर ले जा सकते हैं.

मैं ये बात जनता था की सोसाइटी हमे ऐसे किसी को रखने की अनुमति देगी नहीं और शाम के 8 बजे उनके लिए एक घर खोज पाना आसान नहीं था. तभी माधव ने सुझाव दिया की अगर हम उन्हें पार्किंग पे आज रात सोने की जगह बना दे तो किसी को पता भी नहीं चलेगा और सुबह हम उन्हें किसी सुरक्षित जगह पहुंचा सकते हैं.

तुरंत ही घर पहुँच कर हमने कुछ कागज़ के खाली कार्टन लिए और कुछ पुराने कपडे मैं घर से ले आया. चंद ही मिनटों में उनका नया घर तैयार था.

सुबह जब मैं और माधव पार्किंग में पहुँच तो कुत्ते के वो दो छोटे बच्चे खेल रहे थे और उनकी माँ जो कल रात घायल थी आज आराम से बैठी अपने बच्चो को खेलता हुआ देख रही थी.

उन्हें उनका नया घर शायद हमारे पार्किंग में मिल चुका था.

THE DEAL

#FRIDAYFOTOFICTION (OCT 07, 2017)

‘Please don’t choose such open coffee shops if you want to meet me again', she tried to hide her face.

‘I’m sorry, so what have you decided, are you ok with the deal’, he asked.

‘Look, just for once, and I am doing this only for money. Promise me after that you will not try to meet me again.'

‘Yeah, I promise.’

‘One more thing, I want all the money in Advance.’

‘Ok, no problem.’

‘Ok then will come tomorrow at 7’, she said and got up to leave the place. ‘One last question, may I ask’, she added.

‘Yes! Please go ahead.’

‘We have a long age difference, you can get any girl, why me?’

‘I just want to fulfill my desire’, he replied.

‘And your wife.’

‘You don’t worry, I will handle her.’

‘Ok’, she said, and went.

‘Congratulations!!! We have got the Surrogate Mother’, he dialed his wife’s number and informed.

"Not Her Fault" 

#FridayFotoFiction (Sep 29, 2017)

The girl was suffering from a deadly mental disorder. Doctors had advised to send her in mental asylum, but her brother didn’t pay attention to the doctor’s advice and kept her in the home.

One day when he came back from the office, he was shocked. His father’s body was submerged in the pool of blood and the girl was sitting beside with a sharp knife.

He ran to upper floor. Blood stains were scattered all over the stairs. Mother’s body was found in the bedroom.

Now he realised what mistake he had done.

“IT’S NOT HER FAULT”, he said and started cleaning the proofs.  

He cleaned his sister’s fingerprints from the knife and footprints from the stairs. He then placed his fingerprints on the knife and made his footprints on the stairs.

Now this is the only way to protect her. He said to himself and called the police.

THE WALL OF DREAMS

-FridayFotoFiction

After 4 months he was finally going to his house.

Dad helped him to sit on the wheelchair and they reached home.

He went directly to his room and closed the door. He was not ready to face the reality.

He was sitting in front of “THE WALL OF DREAMS”

The wall which he had created a few years ago and named, “THE WALL OF DREAMS”. He wanted to fill that WALL with the pictures of his adventure trips, but out of 30 frames on the wall, 27 frames were still empty and he had lost his legs.

How he will survive? Will he now spend all his life in this chair? He was terrified.

‘Dear Life, You have taken my legs, but my desires are still alive. I'm Alive. I promise that I will fill these 27 frames very soon. I will fulfill all my dreams’.

He had promised himself and now he was ready to face the world.
