-Ashish
24 FEB 2020
Ashish disappears and it takes Vimala a min to process what just happened. She figures out something must have happened in the machine and tries to repair it and bring him back. After a few minutes while she’s still trying to fix the machine. Ashish reappears in the machine…
Vimala screams frightened and surprised. It’s the first time her time machine has worked she runs towards him and checks if he is doing alright “where did you go?” she asks him Ashish remains silent…
“Ashish beta I am asking you, where did it take you.”??
He doesn’t answer Vimala sighs and gets him a glass of water. Ashish Sit’s down and drinks water and a minute later. “FUTURE” He speaks. Vimala stills “What?” She asks surprised “Are you sure? How could that happen?”she continues. I Have no idea! But I’m sure it’s the future, that were robots all over, the fashion seems way ahead and the devices look very advanced.”
A frown takes over Vimala’s face but the excitement in her voice doesn’t die. “Which place is it? what year is it?she asks. I don’t know about the year but it was an airport in Canada, everyone was rushing it was so, spacious but a girl still managed to bump into me. wait, I also looked at the time and date on the screen and it was 24 Feb and around 8:05 pm”. He says “Before I could ask anyone for
the year, I come back It felt so real though” Ashish continues speaking. “Why did that happen though? You said you wore trying to get into the past and why is some not destined place”? I wish there was a map to set my destination” He stops. He realises he said too much for
now. Vimala smiles, a mix of sadness, happiness & realization, can be seen in her smile.“That’s a great idea, I’ll see if I can make it possible. Oh! and yeah, I indeed was trying to go in to the past. I guess the universe just wanted it this way.” she says “So, what are you going to
do now?” Ashish asks“I guess I need to work on it from the start again”, she says a bit Sad that her dream was almost ruined. “Mam although there are not many ways. I’ll try my best to help you any way I can” Ashish says. Vimala smile, “Thank you Ashish. you should go back home before it’stoo late.”she says.
Ashish goes home and decides to get ready for the party at Naina’s home. While changing his outfit. Ashish notices, a chain in his pocket “oh! I forget telling Vimala mam about it” he says to himself putting the chain in the table drawer. On his way to the party. Ashish buys Naina
a bouquet of white roses and purple lilac flowers and a dream catcher from his favourite craft shop.8:00 PM
He enters Naina’s house in a black formal shirt with first buttons open, showing off a quarter of his well-built body, grey format pants & formal boots. The house is huge a big hall and large staircase, filled with bright white lights, Ashish sees Naina coming down the stairs wearing all red
silk Cocktail dress with a square neck and a black Corset.Ashish walks towards Naina and hands her the bouquet
“Happy Birthday gorgeous” He says “Thank you” she says her plumpy lips locking bright red & in a pout. “You look stunning” he adds. “What’s wrong with you today?So many compliments? Naina asks.
“You’re the one that’s wrong today! Looking pretty & all!” Ashish says voice turning bolder “oh shut up!” she says tapping on his shoulder. Before Ashish could say anything else. He is dragged by a few people. Those who wanted him at the party to be specific. After chatting for a few mins Ashish frees himself from the crowd, He sits at the kitchen counter. with a glass of wine in his hand. Naina approaches Ashish, holds her hand forwards Ashish looks into her eyes, rises an eyebrow, “Can I have a dance?” Naina asks Voice extremely low and deep. He
takes her hand. They dance for a few mins when it’s past 10’o clock. Ashish decides to go back. He goes towards Naina and gives her the dreamcatcher he has bought. “A little gift for you to have very dreams” He leans towards her ear says “Good night, Naina” They give each other a side hug and Ashish leaves the party.While on his way home Ashish’s phone rings. The lights on the highway start blinking A heavy wind blows. Ashish stops his bike. He gets a call Unable to drive in the wind, “Prof. Ramanaidu” it shows on the screen. He answers it. Ramanaidu takes a deep breath from other side. “Ashish??” he says voice heavy and then sighs loudly Ashish panics. “Sir? hello?” he says and the line disconnects…
