Wings to Affection - Part 6

Ronit and Ishani both were high with loaded sleep in their eyes and therefore they searched for a place to sleep, he had no problem of sleeping in any place thus he occupied space under the tree whereas she had intentions to sleep in a hygienic place and discovery for the same came into existence. Animals are quite active in the dark period making sounds that act as a sign for their presence. These sounds and a lonely feeling brought her next to him because she realized to be safe instead of being in danger. Leaving a little space, Ishani slept parallel to him. Even after being sleepy, she had no mood to shut down her eyes and it’s obvious because Ronit looked cute while sleeping and thereby concentration was too deep. Ronit’s behavior does annoy her but his sleeping face symbolizes him as an innocent guy. Noticing him when he is not aware is only the option for Ishani and in the process, she observed that he is sweating with mild shivering, a shocking one because the island was covered with trees and breeze with high velocity contributed to cool climate.

With no clue what has to be done, Ishani tapped his shoulder and tried waking him up but no response. Then she with her palms sprinkled seawater in his face and,

“Woahh!!, what you are trying to do?’’, with big eyes opened Ronit asks.

''The climate is so chilled and how can you sweat like this?’’, with 2-3 times blinking of eyes Ishani throws a question to him.

''I asked a question and you should answer, instead you are asking a question….’’

''Looks like the framing of your brain is improper.”

''The reason is, forget it. Thank you for helping me to deposit my packets in the seawater”

''I get mild shaking in the body when I am in stress and I don’t get to consume my powder’’

''Oh weak man, you rely on powder for survival, it means the food you don’t consume!’’  

''Annoying crab’’

This conversation highlights how they dislike each other but, you don’t know what happens next. He appreciates the compliments by her and utters ‘you are right’ tapping his left chest. Again back to short sleep, this time Ishani did not sleep facing him though lazed next to him. Ronit was continuously taking turns and was unable to sleep. Irritation caused by him to Ishani now and this moment she got up and started shouting him, ‘’can you stop irritating me!!!!’’. Another moment she paused because Ronit’s face turned to reddish and his eyes were filled with tears as he is not able to control that need of consuming the drug that keeps him chilled. This situation of scarcity of drugs in his life never existed and now he is feeling cold suffering from fever with strong shivering. Ishani ignoring her grudges with Ronit went close to him held tightly so that he feels better as there was no option of making him feel warm. Ronit denied being close to her and pushed but Ishani did not give up. When she locked her hands around him, something crystallized material she felt.

Wings to Affection - Part 5

Because the purpose he sat down was to collect sands in the hands and throw in their eyes so that both can escape and the result came out to be positive and they escaped successfully.  They got the help of a boat nearby and started moving towards that isolated island. One interesting thing that was noted that there was no driver for the boat since the night was late. Somehow boat was brought into the water, the battery-operated motor was turned on, initiating to cover the waterway. That protective feeling towards each other was highlighted because of the hands held tightly even if they are safe now. A few minutes after, Ronit realized that the fingers of Ishani were still hugging his fingers. Taking advantage of the situation, he sings, “lo humein manzoor hai aapka yeh faisla”, and this brought her attention to him with a confused expression.

Ronit with his eyeballs scrolling down tells her to watch the hands that are held so strong. Ishani quickly loosens her hand and turns her face opposite him. “By the way, your moves are killer”, says Ronit in a creepy tone. Ishani replies “like seriously?” and slaps him tightly with a ashamed face and it can be said that revenge was taken successfully by her. Ronit drops a tear with a sad face because it’s the first time a girl slapped him. Ishani felt bad for him and to show sympathy, goes close but her steps imbalanced the boat and water entered into the vehicle. The packets with him came in contact with the water and rest you can guess and this incident added more anger in him but felt helpless too. A good thing happened that they reached the island but now the cold war was raised in between them.

Depression was then followed by Ronit and Ishani carried attitude making their bond weaker. Since the island is alone with 2 humans it turned out to be the best romantic place for a couple, where Ronit and Ishani have no hope to talk again. The slogan that says, every love story starts with a fight can be a difficult one in this case

Wings to Affection - Part 4

Ishani was addicted too. But this addiction was never dangerous for her as she used to drink and feel it inside the four corners of her room. Therefore that safe zone is nullified because at present she is out of her room. Drunk and no control gave her a sleepy atmosphere and as a result, she lies down above the sands of the beach. The time never stops and was passing by quickly. The moonlight and the blue sky formed their chemistry to indicate the night. Waves got acceleration taking the sands into the water. And guess! Who was present in the sands, this beauty was pulled into the water leaving the bag behind and transferred her to the island that was isolated. Her eyes opened, darkened nights only the glowing moon, a complete scene that was scary and admirable too. She slept almost half a day and now taking naps doesn’t look interesting, the only thing that made her attractive was to admire the natural creations sitting on the edge of the island. Ishani has not yet realized that her bag is not present with her.

Ronit was in the new place but old addiction and a happening night. The last packet filled him with pleasure but he was concerned about the next night. Hunting the dealers was a difficult task but giving up for it was also not the option for him. A few miles crossed in the bushes and low sounds like, “hssss” highlighted of someone over the greenery. These sounds were made by the `night travelers of heaven` like him which came through their nose. You all would be thinking that Ronit will join them but the answer is sure ‘no’. His plan was to rob the packets for his coming nights and run away. With the soft steps, he goes closer to them from the behind and peeps out about the location of the packets. One of them was not consuming the drugs and noticed the presence of Ronit. He quietly observed what Ronit is trying to do…

Ronit got cautious so that no one gets even a hint of him being present. So he got down above the ground and reached them crawling and the person who was normal now got confirmed about his plan. He realized that Ronit has come for taking the packets and run away. Ronit in the front and boys in his back running because Ronit succeeded robbing the packets. Obviously, Ronit is not an athlete and being a drug addict can’t run much so with the help of a tree he hides and successfully fools the boys. The happiest feeling he got after robbing because now he can relive every night. That happiness did not stay for long and the reason is…

Since unknown to the location, his mind started sweating because he is not experienced to live without family. And to swipe his nervousness, he asks his pocket to pass him the handkerchief, delivery was taken by hands but witnessed that something is missing. His brains speedily started sweating now because of this missing report witnessed by hands. These happenings were covered by her eyes but were confused about his actions. Do you know what was missing from his pocket? Well, it’s a packet of drugs which he carried in his pocket which was last seen in the bus premises.

“Hello, Mr. Can I know what happened?” says Ishani tapping him from the back.

The boy went crazy and couldn’t control his anger + nervous packed feeling, in addition, her questions irritated him. Some seconds he managed to control but a tight slap on her face showed that he lost his control now. This incident shook her up so badly that she ran from the spot and tried to evade her tears which doesn’t seem possible. His fingers left red prints on her face and moreover she was not expecting this suddenly, finally, she stopped and made herself normal.

Breathlessness symbolized by her vanished after she raised her eyes up to view a magnificent beach which purified her soul. Beaches are the real stress relievers reviewed by many people in the world. The breeze, sand and the water gives you a mesmerizing feeling. She took a position to sit and started to cry again as she was hurt deeply. She took her bottle of energy drink out and started taking sips of it with belches. Let me reveal a secret about her, a real-time alcoholic girl only preferring Desi Daru. She drinks in high quantity when upset and projects her sad life and goes into deep sorrow.

In the middle of the alone road, Ronit was walking like a dead body with no energy and slipped over a wet area. After touching the ground, a packet exited from his pocket and with happiness got up to take his packet. He realized that he himself was wrong as he searched his drugs packet in the wrong pocket. The packet as per his need can only fulfill his one night. He is worried now about that.

Wings to Affection - Part 2

The man she found was dead who was subjected to wild animals and lost his life. This unpleasant scene made her more uncomfortable to stay in the forests. Therefore, she escaped with a sip of energy booster and successfully exited the forest where the bus was stopped. But she had guilt feeling that she couldn’t save him. The bus got repaired and finally, the leftover journey started. She was happy plus shocked that the boy was sitting in the last seat.

Girl to herself, “maybe, my energy drink is working and I m visualizing him”.

She moved closer to him and tried to pinch him so that she gets confirmed.

The boy to the girl, “stay away who are you?”

 Whispering to himself (looks like she is not mentally stable). The reason for thinking the same was because of her behavior as her energy drink was working actively. The moment he told her to stay away she positioned herself to the seat. The bus lights are switched off and both of them were at the extreme corners of the seat. The boy had experience of living in the dark but the girl had a phobia of darkness. Questions will arise in our minds that how did she enter the forest then? For all those, the answer is she discovered the forest under the moonlight which was partially dark but the vision was clear. But on the bus, it was fully dark and no street lights in the route. One more sip she takes of energy drink makes her perfectly alright and comfortable. Some moments passed and both slept taking the support of the windows.

As the bus was not crowded much, both spreading their legs covered the seat and continued taking a nap.  The moon left and the sun was setting its way to the sky. Sound from the conductor, “we reached to our destination everyone alight from the bus”. Sun rays in the eyes and sound of the conductor made them wake up. Eyes when gave a clear vision they both were holding someone’s legs tightly like a pillow. The moment their minds got clear they realized that they were sleeping together but in the opposite direction. Quickly they stood from the seat and with an embarrassing feeling got down from the bus.

He caught her hands from the back and,

Boy- “hi, I am Ronit.”

Girl-“Ishani”, here. (with a rude voice)

Ronit - “you sound so rude, I was right about you”.

Ishani -“oh really, you a think a girl will speak frankly with a stranger? if yes, you take it wrong. And what was right about me?”

I am not in a mood right now to talk about it, by the way, which place is this, asks Ishani. Technically even I am new to this place, answers him. Let’s check with the locals here. Ronit asks one of the shopkeepers about the name of the location. The name he said was unknown to Ronit and even Ishani had no idea about the location.

Wings to Affection - Part 1

Let’s get into the brief with the characters.

Boy’s character:

A boy acting responsible in front of his family but lives like a king in the night. He had two faces like a coin has. From a rich family but love, affection was quite unknown to him because he thinks that his family did not like him for any reason. The whole day he completes his work being an employee of the company but at night he relaxes using so-called ‘stress breaker’. This role of an employee was a little suffocating for him and did not prefer to live in between the crowd other than his friends. Got addicted to artificial wings to fly which he gains from ‘drugs’. His family was unaware of this and this makes him enjoy his life without hesitation.

Girl’s character:

She has a rich heart, but dark in color surviving in a middle-class family. Our society judges us by appearance and that sometimes makes difficult to the person residing in the social surrounding. The family’s case was totally different from him. Her family was over-possessive and that made an obstacle for her freedom. She said goodbye to her home for 4 times but unfortunately got found back. Following the phrase and ignoring the society she steps forward to her life. The phrase states, “outer beauty attracts but inner beauty captivates” by Kate Angell. 

 (The day has dropped with the sunset and night has taken its position)

He turned into the king and proceeded to the location where he finds heaven. On the other side, she is upset and angry too because her family refused to give her permission to attend the party thrown by her friends. The watchman of his bungalow played a villain in the picture.  The watchman was moving to his night shift through the location where the boy was ruling his kingdom. Suddenly the watchman got a nature call and he went towards the dry plants to relax. In the process, he found the boy with his addicted life. As a result, his family got informed about his dark life.

She decided to leave her freedom less life and family for the 5th time. Packed her clothes, pocket money, and all her belongings except her mobile phone. She loves to be in a crowd but again no freedom in the crowd too. She has a secret stress breaker which is a secret now. Her plans were unorganized but she was sure to board the first bus from the depot falling on her eyes. She was not bothered about the destination as she was well skilled in self-defense. As decided she boarded the first bus leaving her home silently and occupied the last seat of the vehicle.

This boy’s mind alerted him about something wrong because he got many calls from his family and before a few moments he felt like someone is spying on him. Calls are never encountered by him at this time and thus doubted about his secret revealed. He loves his darkened life so rushed towards the depot to catch the first bus so that he is out of reach from the family. Sprinting towards the transport in an abnormal state made him difficult but still succeeded to reach the depot. He blocked the last seat so that he can sleep comfortably and enjoy the hangover. But, but the moment he spreads his legs in the seat, he got an opposing force which attracted him to gravitational force. After falling from the seat he still took a nap and looked unaffected. I hope we all know who was in the last seat already and who is responsible for pushing him down.  

Journey without the tragedy is no fun

The journey turned into the routes of city to rural one. Rural welcomes its passengers with nature but at night it does not looks pleasant especially when you are in between the dense forests. The bus completed only half an hour traveling, a sudden break by the driver made the passengers shock. The reason behind this halting was the wheel got punctured. The conductor asked the passengers to alight from the bus. Everyone got down from the bus and occupied some places to sit around the dense forests. The boy without being aware of entering into the bush is quite wild and dangerous, he continued his steps. A lady from the fellow passengers shouted him from the back, “Don’t enter into the danger son”. The girl from the distance approached this lady shouting and decided to stop him and take him back. As the boy was in a hangover mood, the girl believed to help him.

The girl had a dream to explore the jungle at night but with a planned source. She with courage dropping her feet to the ground kept walking in search of him. The night time witnesses’ active wild animals and humans cannot assure of safety thus this lowered her confidence. Wolf screaming, snakes hissing and frog making sounds started irritating her and making her nervous too. After covering a kilometer she found him and that happiness accelerated her speed towards him. Only a few distances over him and still running with speed. Finally, she approached but the wrong person.
