Chapter - 44 - 'Someone'

I made my way through the old galleries of our house, to the room where our crackers sat, excited to fly in the sky.

I loved how we would firecrackers, I wish, if everyone, every youth was as ignited as the crackers, then the country would progress little more, it would profit a little more and every, single individual would amount to the country's financial condition. After all, we are Indians and it is our job to be able to make India a powerful country.

I know, I have said earlier, that I wanted to settle down in America and wanted to be an astronaut at NASA, of course!! I love India because however far I will ever go, overseas, over mountains, over the solar system (P.S. if it ever happens!!), I'd always come back to my country, I would always return back to India, for whenever I will hunt for peace and thirst for love, for every child, whenever is in pain, returns back, running to their 'mother' and it always has to be India, 'my Mother India'. But, I chose to work at NASA for the following reasons:

1) They pay you more and their currency rate is higher than India's.

2) You do not have to worry about performing experiments and do not have to wait for years for a grant from the Government, as it will be the country's money that you will invest in the projects. (And, we all, sincerely, know the degradation in the economy of India, from the past few years!!)

3) The US has a better and safe and secure environment to provide you with, they may have thefts, but rape cases are still low, therefore, proving to be beneficial for female workers. (I do not have to speak of India regarding this!!)

4) Of course, it is expensive to live in the US, but you know, it is also pioneering and adventurous to work in a different country, and to explore your work.

5) We all know where we stand at school or colleges, but when we compete with people from across the globe, we build up a great sense of 'keeping the game on' in us. It keeps the competition in us go on forever and never settle in for something less.

As I enter the darkroom, I hit something and it falls right over my head, it was very light, just like a feather.

Wait!! Nah-uh!! Oh My God!! I am covered in feathers, how am I going to... ugh!!!

I grunt and I get up anyway. I look for the switch and turn it on, finally, I look at my reflection in the mirror and find myself disgusted for according to me, what I had just encountered had ruined my entire look. I pressed my forehead with disbelief and just when I was to begin my search for those fiery things, that we call, fir crackers, the light went off yet again. This time it wasn't me, perhaps, I felt it was the electricity.

Great!! The day you are supposed to celebrate as 'festival of lights', you find yourself, covered in feathers in nothing, but sheer darkness. I looked all around and heard the room's door open.

Phew!! Finally, someone's here!!

I managed to walk towards that 'someone', but I ended up tripping things down and I suddenly hit something strange and I landed right into that 'someone's arms.

Uh-oh!! Bad manners Kayna!!

I scolded myself and apologized with a, "I am sorry". The gentleman didn't seem to pay any attention, I stood up and I felt something hard behind me, it was a pillar, surely this was what I might have hit before falling. I tried taking off all the feathers from my dress and thanked the stranger, while he didn't respond. I clearly couldn't make out who this was, but the feeling felt familiar, the smell felt familiar, but who?

Suddenly, this someone was standing close, like very close to me and I could almost feel him breathing right near my nose. I tried to move, but it was of no use. He had blocked me and he was too strong, for me to move. I finally gave up and shut my eyes close and prayed to God, for the electricity to be back before I break this not-so-gentle man's face.

Just when I ended my heart full prayers, the electricity came back in time and I felt the 'somebody' move, but I couldn't see who it was, because I was way too scared and my eyes were forced shut since I didn't want to open them, it is like you know? Like when you are in your bed tugged up but aren't able to sleep and it is already past midnight and you realize now any moment, anything can go wrong and you cover yourself up with the blanket, up to your hair. It isn't that the murderer or the ghost we all think of, will see us and say, "Damn!! Man, she is covered up in a blanket. I can't kill her now" and return back, but the feeling of covering us up with a blanket feels protecting.

Minutes later, I hear someone move out of the room and I resumed my search for the crackers, I didn't want to make a fuss about this, but I will go check myself. If you do not know, my house has secret cameras planted all around; and people, I am Kayna Malhotra. I will do whatever it takes, but I will find out who this 'mystery, completely ill-mannered' guy was and l will look into the matter, for now, he didn't do anything, so I forgive him, but only because it is Diwali. Anyways, I will have to find the root of this matter.
