My Unknown Friend

 Part 3:

He showed him a ball-shaped thing silver in colour. Its smell was extremely annoying. He asked him" What is it ? How does it works ? "  He replied " First swallow it, then you'll get to know how it works." 

His mind, his sixth sense everything warned him but .... he ate it.

Everything in front of his eyes became blurred. Suddenly after a few minutes he sensed a very undefined feeling of happiness.

He said" What ? Feeling happy or sad !" He replied " Happy ! Thanks brother but you didn't tell me what it was ." He answered " a way to happiness." Whatever he was telling him was not going in his head, he never ever had anything like that but the fact that it gave him happiness was just enough to have it regularly .

Saurabh restricted him to never unfold it in front of anybody. He asked him that why was he forbidding him to not tell anybody about that medicine. 

Saurabh changed that topic and said brother if he liked it then he can give him more but he had to pay for it. 

He gave him thousand rupees and he handed over a bottle of it to him. It was late at night and the fear of his father took his mind and he stood up and said farewell to Saurabh. 

Next morning, he woke up and saw that it was 8 o'clock. He, in hurry , went to school. In break-time, he went to Saurabh to say thanks to him but was unable to find him anywhere. 

After that incident whenever he felt uneasy he took it or sometimes it was like he felt addicted so eventually he needs to have it. 

One day his mother saw that bottle of medicine in his school bag. It was the worst day of his whole life not because he was caught him taking drugs but because whom he expected to be his elder brother was actually a Lucifer.

THE LAST LESSON

Mrs. Martha settled into her wagon once again, the same journey she had made every day for thirty years—same route, same rhythm, same steadfast purpose. The fire in her heart burned as fiercely as it had on her very first morning in the classroom, though time had etched its weight upon her. Her knees, once tireless, now ached with a dull persistence; some mornings demanded a visit to the doctor instead of the blackboard. And where she once stood for hours without thought, she now scanned the room for a chair after thirty minutes, her breath shallow but her resolve unbroken. The planet had not changed. The children had not changed. Only her body whispered reminders of the years passing—yet still, she went.   Mrs. Martha never bowed to mediocrity. The world had offered her easier paths—gleaming offices, salaries that would have draped her in comfort, the quiet dignity of a life unburdened by chalk-dust and rusted blackboards. She could have taken them all. She chose this instead...

BRUISES BENEATH THE ROOF

We inhabit a world that measures itself by the clamor of its streets, yet the soft, aching sighs within its homes dissolve into shadows. It is not always the blow of a crime that wounds most deeply, but the quiet varnish of normalization that lets it linger like a stain on the soul. This is the age of women-she is at once the steady flame of the hearth and the fearless wind that builds empires. She can be the hand that earns the bread and the heart that kneads it, the unbound spirit who charts her own sky, and the sheltering mother who folds her children beneath her wings. She is everywhere; she can become anything. She owns a home, steers a business, and holds a family together, yet is still kept in the quiet shadows of the very place that gave her life. Those who once championed her independence now seek permission from others before allowing her to follow it. She is expected to be beautiful, a drop of diligence dissolved in the liquid of grace-an alchemy of charm and labor. She pa...

Pain is Personal

The abyss of this eternally enough night, Where the world swallowed an impenetrable void. Neither the sign of sun nor the spark of moon’s light Just the air humming in whispered dread and sinister glow of corpse-light . What I scream in silence, May not be heard with deaf ears but Heard and echoes in empty Cathedrals Like a hymn of shattered glass, Sung in language of wounds  whispered in a tongue of fire and thorns.  Is this chisel-stroke, unwanted sculptor Carved with stains deeper than blood, Was all liturgy of my own venom Or it wears your voice and shadow.? By whose design it pierces my ribcage, Making my mind a borrowed ghost Learning to haunt in safest of places, What once was proudly mine, Now stands in shameful harvest.?
