MR.DUDE GUY

After sometime , managing and helping the 100kg guy to calm down we sat and closed out eyes and took a deep breath. As I took a deep breath I smelled chocolate. Yummmmmm... chocolate.
I love Chocolate. So my family ordered a chocolate cake with chocolate ganache with a miniature Eiffel Tower on it.(3D shape which was about 20-25cm. Not too big. The sculpture was... You guessed it - chocolate and the cake was small in size as only my parents, Mike and I would have and maybe Mr. Fred)
I blew the candle and made the wish and after that you may know the procedure because everyone does that on their birthday at least I do. I don't know about you because you know that 'not going to the outside world' thing.
After cake eating ceremony we lit the Christmas candles and then wished every relative of mine through face time.
Sometimes I feel lucky that I was not born in the old age time. Because my parents tell me that they use to write letters and wish their relatives or go to their house or read their letters which they had sent for them, that to every single one!So pretty much I am the lucky generation.(smiles)

At last all the work was over and then we had our dinner in the dinning room (obviously).
Then it was the wishing time again. My parents thought to give me another chance for a better wish.
I felt that they took a sensible decision, as this morning I screwed all up.

(Me taking a deep breath)"Ok! The moment I was waiting for. My wish is .... No no no."
"No no no? What kind of wish is that?" My mother said acting impatient as if something important is going to happen, so she wanted to finish off the deal.
"I mean that as you guys said it before that I can ask anything as a wish on my 16th birthday...So my WISH is that I want you to set me free from this prison.( I opted for the same wish on perpose in case they had changed their mind) Let me out! Let me see the world!(I said boldly with my leg shaking and my heart missing every olternate beat but I did not let anyone notice it or what was going inside me.)"
"Ya! About that thing. We thought and came up to decision that we will let you go but with someone who is going to be coming like(my father looked at his watch)... Now!"my father said.
And something happened which would have happened like never- for the first time I heard the doorbell ring. Normally my parents meet the outsiders at the business room or outside or if there is any parcel then the guards will collect it and give it to us.
My mother said"Come on honeypie! You will be delighted to see him."
On hearing this a lot of questions popped into my head. Who is 'him'? Why are my parents being so cool with my wish? Why are they letting me meet an outsider? Why do I need someone to stay with me when I go out alone?
I did not knew the answer to these questions and my guts were not letting me ask these questions to my parents.
So, I simply walked behind my mother to the door. For the first time in my life I saw a glimpse of the outside world.
First it was a bit difficult to see the person coming because it was dark outside. Then when he came into the light my jaw dropped open. When I looked at the guy he seemed familiar. But I could not make out where I had seen him.
He had the same brown shabby/curly hair, sea green eyes and mid fair complexion like mine.
But he had a smart grin across his face. I was confused because I had never seen a outside guy except my parents and the servent in the house, but when I saw him I felt that I know him, he seemed close to me.
He came and shook hands with my father as if he was a business man and a successful deal was made between the two and then came towards my mother and hugged her. I backed off when he came near to my mother because I was standing behind her.
When he came near he winked at me as he hugged her and I could easily make out his nature and I got a good name for him 'Mr. Dude guy'.
My mother said,"Come forward meet your twin brother.. Ummm.. what's your name dear I am quite bad with names." Before he could answer I ran away from my parents with Mike behind me. We ran into our secret garden. (Nobody knows about it except Mike). It was located at the far end on the garden behind a bunch of pine trees and some random bushes. I collapse on the green grass and I was panting badly. The grass felt so comfortable with nice chilling wind flowing. I was not feeling cold nor was I shivering. It was a silent night. Mike laid beside me enjoying the weather.
My heart was pumping fast and my mind was racing with all types of questions like, when did I have a twin brother? Why did he seemed femilier to? Why did my shoulder pain when he came close me?

I don't know what happened next because I woke up with light falling on my eyes.
I looked up at the sky and it was clear with white clouds floating on their own rhythm. It was probably eight or nine o'clock.
I heard someone calling my name at a distance. I assumed it was Mr.Fred. I came out of the bushes from behind so that no one will know about my secret garden.
When I came out, guess what, whom did it saw?
