… With A Smile I Say Goodbye.

 

2 A.M

Holding a glass of wine n enjoying cool breeze with soft music at the background, she was Staring at the most brightest twinkling star from her balcony for a long time with a smile on her face. 

She loved spending hours admiring dark sky, moon n stars since she was a little girl.. But today she was staring for a long time.

“Beautiful… See you soon.” She wispered softly with a smile when brightest star hid behind dark clouds. “Now its time to sleep n leave all the worries behind.”

She took last sip n went inside towards her bed n slept to never get up again.

Three Lives.. One Dark Secret.

She:- “Beautiful calm place. Dark clouds hovering above mountains and sun struggling to shine from behind black clouds proves evil always win over pure.”
Her:- “Why are you sounding so negative today. Evil can empower good soul, but it can never win. Look at that silent lake. It bears harsh sunlight every day, but never reacts against its nature. It is always calm.”
She:- “But when there is heavy rainfall, it becomes aggressive and destroy everything that comes in its way.”
Her:- “Why are you sounding so depressed. You always keep positive outlook then what’s wrong today?”
She:- “I understood one thing.. Being positive and good doesn’t work in today’s world. I always believed if we are good then nothing bad will ever happen with us, But I was wrong all these years. You know Today even this beautiful nature can’t change me into positive.”
Her:- “Will you tell me what is wrong?”
She:- (staring directly into her eyes) “Will you tell me Why you behaved like this to me? I always trusted you, but you backstabbed me. You are my childhood friend still…”
Her:- “What are you talking about?”
She:- “I saw romantic messages exchanged between you two… You and my fiance.. You both met behind my back most nights. I know everything. (Sudden change in behaviour and voice)You know … Yesterday we came here at same spot.”
Her:- “You came across that dark secret which I wished should never come out?? Not atleast like this. Trust me it just happened.. I never wanted to break your trust . I am sorry.”
She:- “Will sorry erase everything?? People whom i loved n trusted the most betrayed me. Tell me Will everything be fine like before between us ?”
Her:- “I accept it was a grave mistake n we both are guilty for what we did and discussed and tried to stay away from each other many times but ended up being together. But now it seems he took decision n chose you as since yesterday he didn’t contact me.”
She:- Nooo.. its not a mistake(She screamed), it is a crime and (In Soft Voice) he didnt took any decision.”
Her:- “Mean?”
She:- (smiling)”Come .. follow me.. come here hold my hand.”
Her:- Why?? What happened?”
She:- “There… he is waiting for you.”
Hér:- “What?”
She:- “Yes. since yesterday.”
Her:- “Since Yesterday? Where..what are you saying?”
She:- “Come. Trust me… I decided to bring you both together today.”
Her:- “Are you..”
She:- “Sshhh..shhh.. sshh.. Now come with me.”
Her:- “Its dark here. where are we going?”
She:- “Come. You two loved to meet in dark everytime..right?? At night..so today i decided to bring you both together in dark. Look… there he is waiting for you behind that tree. ”
Her:- (Screamed). “What you did to him?? Noooo…You killed him … ohh God…”
She:- (Calmly Staring at him) “He used to love this place a lot so I chose these beautiful place to bring you both together. You liked it??  Lake, mountains,silence and dark. Perfect.. isn’t it.”
Her:- “I am  sorry. Leave me. Let me go .. please Dont hurt me.”

One Gunshot In Her Head and She Crashed Down Beside Him.. Motionless.

Smiling She Squatted And Whispered, “Together… Forever.. In The Dark.”

Prompt For January 19th, 2018 is “Darkness” 

Lets Lit Up Every Corner With The Light Of Knowledge.

Image:- Rabbi Sacks

When Corner of Knowledge remains in Dark… The Capacity of Understanding Shrinks. Thinking ability limits, That Eventually Spreads Darkness In the Head Which becomes The Main Reason To ruin or Obstacle In Growth, Success, Bright Future, Peace and Sometimes Relationships.

Lets Enlighten Our Life with Knowledge in every field Related To Us Like Education, Technology, human nature, relationships, health issues like Depression, Mental And Physical problems and mainly about Psychological Conditions like changes in behavourial patterns Even knowledge about Politics, Environment and On n On n On.

Let us discuss more about issues we don’t have much Knowledge and try to help peoples, ourselves and society we live in. Let us spread awareness about Psychological problems which many still don’t know much about. For that the first step is to educate Ourself. 

Let us understand the pain of peoples who are suffering from psychological problems, depression, who gets angry, aggressive who was once calm or one who avoid peoples who used to be lively and full of fun. This is the main topic that really needs the light of knowledge. 

Lets not increase misunderstanding about the people suffering from such condition, but try to improve relationship with better understanding and right treatment.

Remember there is always a reason behind every condition. We need to understand such peoples better rather than leaving them alone to suffer.

We all need to hold their hand and to bring them in the light of happiness once again from the Darkness of Suffering and loneliness.

For that Let us Talk openly on such topics.. Let not see psychological problem as a humilation or something that needed to hide or to make them feel like a shame to the family. Lets treat mental or Psychological conditions as normal illness. 

Lets Enlighten ourselves on Psychological and mental conditions and Eleminate Darkness from our head and from our society.

The Night That Killed Me. (Daily Prompt- Opaque)

How Much I Wish It’s A Dream.

She was in her bedroom when She opened eyes. Blurry vision, Head banging as if someone was hitting hard from inside with the hammer. She reached for the glass of water from the corner table and checked time in her cell phone, “It’s 11.05 am… How can I sleep so much.” She hurriedly got up from her bed. As soon as she stood, her head started spinning and her whole body was in pain. Holding head in her palms she sat down at the corner of the bed. “Something is not right. What happened last night. How and when did I reached home. When did I left pub and who dropped me.” Nothing she remembered… Blank.  So many questions but no answers.

Slowly she got up to take shower. After shower she stood in front of the mirror. “What are these marks. Why my body is feeling something different today. What’s wrong, what happened… Why i can’t recollect anything about last night.”

Worried she took a deep breathe and closed her eyes and once again tried to remember about the past night. Slowly she started unfolding the sequences in her head… Left home and met friends outside the pub. Dancing, drinking and everyone was having a good time. Few hours later decided to return home as it was past 2 am. Bid good bye to friends and left pub… then…  “What happened after that”. She opened her eyes and streched her mind little more.. nothing .. Again Blank.

Scared she decided to go for a body checkup. Her fear was real… she got a medical report that confirmed she was sexually abused. “No…. This is not true. This can’t be true. How is that possible. I got up in my room…  I don’t remember anything how I got home but…” Doctor patiently heard her and told her she was drugged. She was silent.

One more life ruined due to date rape. Who, when, known or unknown… whom to trust , whom to doubt… Questions that will remain in her mind but probably unanswered forever.

The incident changed her forever.

The Wrong Path.

Towards Darkness.

 

Sitting on the window pane of the small room, staring at the blue sky.. His mind drifted towards the cheerful, carefree past. Friends, parties,  nightclubs, dating… life was carefree. No worries, no tensions… after all he was rich, young handsome bachleor.  His routine was fixed.. Morning work hard and evening chillout with friends. At Weekends nightouts, drinks, dance and party hard.

One such weekend he and his friends decided to try something new… Gambling. They decided to start with less amount just for fun and won.. confidence boost up.. “Let’s try more…”  his friend said and again they won. That night they won big amount. Everyone enjoyed this new fun..Gambling. Now every weekend they used to Gamble. Small amount was slowly getting big.  His friends said, “It’s not good to gamble. I think we are now getting addicted to it…. for fun it was ok.” After losing money instead of gaining they decided to stop gambling completly.. but for him it was difficult to stay away. He was already addicted.

He started to gamble in week days too and started losing money. He used to skip office. His friends tried to make him understand that it’s not a good thing to gamble and lose hard earned money. It made no sense to him. He used to come alone every day and night. Slowly his savings was decreasing. He was losing everything, he knew its not right but was addicted to gamble. Now friends too started keeping distance from him. They tried to explain him but failed. The money which was prudent for the future was now used for gambling. That was not a wise decision… A biggest mistake of his life. 

He lost everything.. his savings, earnings, cars and even his big house. Gamble snatched everything from him. What was started as a fun now was addiction and that addiction costs him everything… even his job.

A knock on the door brought him back to the present. He got up and opened the door. He smiled at them and asked to come in. His friends had brought foods and drinks. Tonite was a weekend night… Party time. He thought, ” One thing that did not changed in his life and will never change… My Friends.”  Smile appeared on his face. Gamble snatched everything, but not his friends. They were still with him.

The Dark Secret.(Daily Prompt-Symptom)

It Will Find A Way To Come Out.

“This had been started with Me since one and a half months back. Whenever I switch off my room’s light and try to sleep. It appears from nowhere. I feel like something is crawling on my bed… Sometimes in the middle of the night, I feel a cold touch on my face or body. It happens almost every night. I am really scarred.” while He was explaining his scarry experience to doctor , starring into nothing , sweat beads appeared on his forehead and he was shivering.

After listening to his problem doctor said, ” There is  Nothing to be scarred of. It’s our mind that plays a trick when we are alone or in the dark place. And about crawling and touching sensation in the sleep, It is common with most peoples. It is a symptom called as Sleeping Paralysis.” Doctor gave him Some instructions and prescribed medicines. He was little relieved but still frightened.
At night he scanned his room like he always does before switching off the light. Then, He said to himself, ” Like doctor explained it is nothing but the medical problem.” He took pills and switched off the light. While He was about to sleep, he saw a black shadow of a woman standing near the window starring at him. He put on the lights, but saw no one there. He was scarred because he knew he saw someone, but again brushed it off thinking it as his mind’s trick.

Later in the midnight when he was asleep, he felt a cold touch on his cheeck. Frightened he slowly opened his eyes. He was still feeling like someone was beside him. He thought, when  he is not asleep,  how could this be the symptom called sleeping paralysis. He decided to turn and see if it is real or his imagination. while he was turning Slowly,  he saw her face… very close starring at him. He was freezed. It was not what doctor explained him about medical term or his mind’s trick. She was in real..the ghost was in real and now she was beside him, starring at him angrily.

When he saw her face, the incident that happened couple of months back flashed in front of his eyes. The incident that was kept secret from everyone… the accident which was happened from him when he was driving in drunk state while coming from the party couple of months back.

A young lady who was returning from her late night job was crushed under the wheels of his car. Instead of helping her he left her there and ran away.

Now He realised all this scarry experiences started with him after that accident. She was none other than the girl who he had left to die because of his mistake. His mistake cost her life. He apologized her, but still she was starring at him in anger. He said, “I am sorry. The accident was a mistake. I was afraid and that is why I ran from the spot without helping you. Please leave me alone. “  she smiled and said, “I will be with you forever, so that you will never forget your crime. I will not kill you, but make your life a suffering for you. You left me to die and I will keep you alive. I will make your life itself a punishment for you.”

Creepy Imagination.(Daily Prompt- Jiggle)

Just Imagine

Late night walking into the woods is the most scarry experience, if that place is famous for spooky stories. It doesn’t matter one is with group or alone and on that what if the way to come out is lost. Imagine in a dark forest at dark night… the frail sound or even the mere touch of leaves or branches from nearby trees gives a jiggle, as mind is tensed with scarry stories and with finding a way out from that place.

Suppose the place is really haunted… While finding the way only tall trees are in sight and nothing else… Darkness consumed everything around and no one can even see the faces of each other, let alone the way. In that somewhere a  feeling like Someone is walking besides or behind and in reality no one is there, but just a feeling.. with that the noise of dry leaves crushing under the feet. In that dark dead silent forest a chilled breeze that makes the nape of the neck hairs stands with the goosebumps and wriggles the whole body.

The belief that something is wrong in this place and all the spooky stories which was once ignored is now making a sense. Still walking into the darkness in an attempt to find a way, now hears a cry of a woman and while trying to find the crying lady in to the dark with the help of a torch light, no one is seen, but the cries and the voice goes on increasing as if she is coming close and suddenly the piercing voice is now close to the ears and with that the sudden feeling of someone touching the shoulders that make everyone move relentlessly. 

In my point of view this experience will be more scarry than finding a way in to the dark.

SOUL SEARCHING. (Daily Prompt-GLITTER)

You know what is The most beautiful feeling on the earth?? For me..  Sitting on the edge of the lake at night and to admire it’s beauty and the charm. Alone with no one around except the nature and the cool breeze. I call it Soul Searching.

 Dark night and silent lake is the best place to spend few moments with our own self. Sitting and admiring the beauty… glancing at the nature.. Full moon, twinkling stars , moon’s reflection on the lake that makes the dark water glitter  in his soft light… a beautiful sight that makes you calm from inside and helps you forget all the chaos, tensions of the outer world.

Nature has the power to change our mood, no matter what problems we are going through, it helps us to forget all the unwanted thoughts that keeps coming in our mind. Glittery water, beautiful soft moon lit and above glittery stars. Cool breeze and no sound… best place to be in Alone for sometime.

The Curious Case Of Visions. (Daily Prompt – BLUR)

 

 

Since childhood I have visions. Visions about strangers, faces, places. Earlier it was scarry as I used to wake up in the middle of the night, but now I am ok with it. Now I enjoy except some haunting and scarry dreams.

Repeatitive visions of myself wandering at the dark secluded places alone, walking in to the woods searching way out or sometimes chasing something other time someone chasing me… but when I wake up, i can’t recollect most of my dream except some blurry visions and the feeling that it had happened with me before or I had the same dream in the past. It’s like incomplete dream… i try to reach somewhere or for someone,  I wake up before my destination.

Most common dream that comes continuosly is the old house with dark rooms, alone m searching someone but when I open the door at the far corner of the house, exactly that time I open my eyes and it happens everytime. Its a common vision i have every other day. First I thought it’s just a mind game or random dreams m having, but few repeated dreams made me believe there might be some connections between these visions and my life.

I believe if it is related to my future, one day it will stop and if it’s connected with my past life, as I believe in rebirths and past connections, this blur visions will continue to fascinate me forever.
