Drama On & Off Camera

Part 13.

The silky smooth touch of this molded crusader, holding his sword, my fingers now running along the intricate edges, admiring it's beauty. It was definitely hard to shift my gaze from it but the view in front of me was equally mesmerizing, all the audience applauding enthusiastically. This was the moment I was waiting for. I reached for the microphone when I stepped on my gown and tripped the trophy, I couldn't believe my eyes, is that crusader's head which is rolling off of the stage?

Complete absence of sound made it clear that all this is indeed happening, how am I suppose to make an eye contact with everyone now. I cringed but then someone erupted in laughter my head quickly swung to my right, to my astonishment there was a bunch of men wearing football jerseys?

No, Wait, that's the captain of former champions team which had an epic trophy fail, they dropped their trophy during celebrations, the connection with me here is, I was supporting the losing team and was pretty much upset after their loss. However, I laughed feeling better that this team which I disliked at least got to taste a bit of melancholy during their celebration.

But what are they doing here? Wheel of fortune? A Reminder! You get what you give....

Fire Alarm broke and everything blurred in front of me, my joy was crumbling down in this total mishap. Someone seemed to pull me aside but resisting their hold I was bending to get my award, crawling forward towards the edge of this stage to get the crusader's head.

Bam!

I stumbled down. They was burning sensation in my knees, I could hear my pounding heart and as I opened my eyes clearing my vision, and looked around my legs which seemed to get strangled under a smooth silky maroon coloured polyester fabric which I realized is my blanket and swallowing a sinking feeling that it was all a dream.

"Not even in my dreams, I get to taste my victory." I said with a sigh and got on my feet rubbing my knees.

After thirty or maybe forty minutes, my appearance looked much better, running my fingers along my long brunette hair, smoothing down the knots. I love my hair, I always had them long, short hair looks pretty but I can never imagine myself in that.

Lazily I strolled around my sofa, making my way to the kitchen counter, grabbing a handful of nuts from the bowl and instantly popping one in my mouth. It was hard, while I was working in that movie though we complained about the extra hours of shooting but now when all this is done, I'm missing it. I pulled out my diary and sat on the sofa, taking another two almonds in my mouth. Flipping through the pages and slowly turning the page I wrote yesterday. I grabbed my pen which was tucked inside the spiral of this diary.

I took a deep breathe, thinking it might exhale out my saddening burden filled in my heart. But instead of pissing off it started settling in, as soon as I saw what today's date was.

22nd July,

I don't want to fill my brain with the thoughts again... quickly I scribbled "Still I don't have anything for you to say" and slammed the book close. I have been writing this sentence every year on this date, for a short instance I thought maybe how the things were getting better I might not have to write it this year but I was wrong, grinding my teeth, I got up and drained the rest of the nuts back into the bowl and left my apartment with the cellphone in hand.

Tapping my foot impatiently, standing stubbornly keeping the door wide open.

"Give me the keys!"

"Listen, you know I love you right, but ...but I can't trust you with my car." Adrian said pulling up a frown.

"C'mon Ad, I'm in no mood.." before I could complete my sentence, cutting my voice, there came a screeching tires sound and for some reason I didn't wanted it to be him.
