As I looked at 17th again.. I didn't know how to react, I was amused the least. I don't even have a reaction.
This is fricking 4th time I am seeing the same thing happening, I got up, freshed up and came out to see Danny hopping around just like the previous 3 times.
Even Raj could understand that something was wrong with me and suggested me to take a leave, I told him abt the call and proceeded gravely. Well it's all fixed, what difference is it gonna make.. All I would do is to make a run and I might wake up again..
As I walked on to my bike., I felt the need to alter my plan. So I just kept the bike key back in my bag and proceeded on foot and in bus. It was all fine except for the heavy rush in the bus.
I grabbed a seat for myself after crossing two college stops and started playing games to divert myself. But after a while it started getting boring.. I just dialled Sanju and I correctly guessed that she's taken an off., told her that I'm coming around and got down at next stop to board a cab.
All I was trying to do was to, confuse fate and try seeing what other alternatives I could face.,
I booked a cab on my phone and was waiting for it. I felt a cold shiver as I tried recalling the dream, I texted Srini that I'm taking a leave. As he started asking the reason for a leave on such important day, I didn't know what to reply. I was just even more stressed. As I chose to ignore the message, the cab driver called me and I guided him to come to my location.
Once I got into the cab, Raj dialled, he must have found the bike outside. I ignored the call. As the cab driver turned the music on. It was some old melody that roughly translated to "the more you try to escape from fate, the more you run towards it". It made me a lil anxious. I called Sanju again to make sure she's ready, but she didn't attend the call.
First time it didn't matter, but after 7th time.. I became pretty anxious.. I was tensed, called up Bil but he didn't answer the call either. None attended the landline and all of a sudden there was a thunderstorm and as I passed my ofc building., I could see it on fire.
I kept gazing at the fire engines blaring alarms. Driver went on to switch off the radio and accidentally changed the channel and as I looked around..
I was in my room facing the display, and the only sound was my phone alarm with 17th March on the display
