A guy that was a boy

The Dream

I took a deep breath as I was looking up at the blue sky. The cloud changing it's shape every now and then.

Isn't it so great? What if we human could change ourselves like the cloud did.

I would be me right now and someone else in a minute.

It's like we got some kind of super power.

I dream to become a scientists one day.
I want to get close to the moon the stars the sun and these clouds.

How nice would it feel to have a tiny galaxy inside my room.

Yeap that's my dream job. Do what you love they say don't they now?

As the cloud changed its shape again.
The shift in the time changed the position of the sun.

Sun was setting painting the sky in pink, orange, red and purple.

Soon it will be dark.
I'll not move unless I see the stars today.
Rayon always calls me before it gets dark.

I always come to this place when I need some alone time. It's a little far from my home. But the view from here is to die for. Some people say they have heard wild tiger when they were here but I haven't encountered any tiger yet and this hill hasn't got that dense of the forest so I'm fine.

Rayon is my big brother. He is four years older then me

Today he has a date with ciya. His two years old girlfriend. so he will not disturb me.

I close my eyes for a moment and it's completely dark. Like magic. One second it was bright then the other second it is completely dark.

I saw the first star. The one that appears right after it gets dark.
Now that it's dark it's a little scary then I had imagined. So I light up the last cigarette I have with me.

With every passing smoke. The number of stars increased.
I was worng the view from here looked absolutely mesmerising at night then it did in board day light.

There are stars above me and there are lights coming from the houses around this hill acting like artificial stars.

Suddenly I'm not scare anymore.
I feel safe. This is my happy place.

I took the but of the cigarette and step on it. Don't want to burn this beautiful place like how I burn my lungs.

Just as I step on it a flash light flashes my way. It took me off guard. I was like a dear That got cough by the head light. O couldn't move.

"Xezon" screamed a very familiar voice.

It was my dad.

He must be here to take me home as rayon couldn't.

"Xezon do you know where rayon is?" He asked huffing for air. It looks like he ran all the way here.

He looks worried but I couldn't tell him that he was on a date with ciya. My parents hate this girl and so do I.
She always dominant rayon like he is some kind of toy.

"I haven't seen him for hours and he isn't with his friends where he usually goes" he says all panicked.

"Dad relax. He isn't a kid he will get back" I tried to consult him.

"No you don't get it. All his stuff is gone and all mom's jewelry are missing. Someone took out 20 lakhs from my bank account"

"Tell me you know where he is" "don't tell me he went to that ciya girl did he?"

The blood drained from my body.
That's when it hit me. He was carrying a bag with him. He never carries a bag when he goes on a date. Also he went to throw trash last night even when it was my turn. Surprisingly there was more tash bags then we usually use to have.

God dammit rayon ran away from home.

Right at that moment dad gets a call.
It's mom.

"What?" "This isn't a good news honey" what do we do now?"

"The loan sark are going to take everything we have now. What will we do when our son ran away with the money that I was going to give them to clear our loan"

I could tell dad was going to break down any moment. And mom wouldn't be any worse.

Rayon that son of the biscuit. He was always like that. He never cared about his family.

As dad cut off the call. I kept my hands on dad's should that's when he broke down into tears and told me that ciya' family were at our home. She went missing too. Some of the neighbours saw them running towards the bus station.

They must be very far gone by now.

"Dad. It's Okey. It will be fine. I'm still here I'm your son too. Don't worry I'll fix this"

I gaved him words that even I couldn't believe I was still a kid to Handel this situation.

By the time we reached home it was midnight. It took hours for dad to cool down.

Dad entered from the front gate. And I was right behind him.

I hadn't even kept a step inside. And a hand graves my collar very hardly.
And a punch is thrown my way.

"You basterds. Where did your brother took my sister tell us right now"

"Else I'll kill you" said the fat brother of ciya. He was probably twice my size. But we were of same height.

I couldn't control my anger so punched him with the same amount of pressure that he threw my way.

"Ciya is the one that must have lured my brother. That bitch. You should have had control over your own sister before you talk about my brother"

I gave him another punch. So hard that he fell on the ground.

But that didn't stop me. I gave him punches after punches.

Our parents had to come stop us.
That lucky basterd was saved.

Even if rayon was a jerk he still was my brother. And that's what family do we protect each other.

"Enough" said ciya's dad.

"But dad" came in response from the jerk that now has a broken nose.

"Enough Krish your sister has already given us a headache don't add up to it"

Ciya's parents draged him out of our home saying they will go at the police station tomorrow Evening and we should join them too.

Police doesn't files a case before 24 hours.
Now all we could do is for the evening to hit.
