Awpurna - The Incomplete
The Monsoon
Raghav
When will you return?
Raghav
Is there something else you need?
Shiuli
Um.... nothing I guess
Raghav
There is something I want to say to you.
Shiuli knew what was coming. He felt shy and scared, unsure what to do
Shiuli
*Avoiding the topic*
Um.... I remember please take your medicines on right time. Water my plants. And take care of yourself.
Shiuli
I am going , I am already late. See you. Take care.
Shiuli left the room with his luggage
Raghav
*talking to himself*
It's monsoon, Shiuli..... U don't need to water the plants
Shiuli
Driver da, let's go. Otherwise we'll be late
Shiuli
*stealing glances*
Yeah, you too
Shiuli watches from the backseat, as the car moves
Shiuli
I am sleeping driver da, please wake me up, when we reached the airport
Driver
Sure sir, should I turn on the AC??
Shiuli
Monsoon is here da, no need
The Beginning
Monsoon season, heavy rainfall pours, a sudden break. Shiuli woke up.
Shiuli
What happened? Is everything ok?
Driver
I am sorry sir, for the sudden break. But the road is blocked.
Shiuli
Oh is that so? Is there any other way to reach airport?
Driver
I think there's no way, sir. All the roads are blocked due to heavy rainfall.
Shiuli
Um..... is there any other way?? How about we go to railway station instead?
Shiuli
Um.. I m da. We have to reach there and by seeing the weather, I am afraid the flight are also going to cancel. So I guess railway is the only option we have. Please
Driver
Ok, sir but u r my provider, u should order, not request to me.
Shiuli
Well, you are elder than me, and it's natural in behavior to request.
Driver
Please sir not more. I request you
Shiuli
*smiles* as u wish, da
Stranger from the past
Driver
Sir, we have reached the station. You go in the waiting room, I'll get the ticket
Some mystics were singing outside the waiting room.
Mystic
"I found my old lover, after endless nights and tears. I rebuked him, do I dwell in his thought as he do on mine? "
Shiuli entered the waiting room, it was dark, there has been powercut in the railway station. There was already someone in the room, a man, trying to light up the candle.
After multiple tries, the man asked
Samay
Excuse me, do you have a lighter or matchstick??
Shiuli heard his voice, he thought as if... as if he had heard this voice. He found it familiar but he dismissed it as his mere delusion.
Shiuli
Ah... yes, here u go.
*lit up the candle with his lighter*
When candle was lit, Shiuli eyes was bedazzled, it was HIM. It seems like as if thousands of Sun has come together.
