Here is my first attempt at short Story. Tried to write a Novel. But it is too long an affair to take on. Hence through this blog I ll share all Stories my head concocts which I think I ll jot down before they get lost like many before.
It was broad daylight. Raj was getting ready for a date. He was brushing his hairs. The tie was resting on a chair nearby. And a neatly pressed Coat on hanger was hanging on side wall. Raj was a handsome man. About 6 feet tall. Tall dark and handsome. Although he was of middle age. But age only made him look more handsome. He has some grey hairs on his head but they end up giving him a corporate look rather then justifying his age.
The phone bell rang. Its a call from his girlfriend Reema. He picked up the mobile still brushing his hairs with other hand. Reema told him that she will be out of town for few days with her friends. Reema is a sizzling beauty and the love of life of Raj at present. Raj never thought he will fall in love ever as much as he had fallen with Reema. Raj had a sprawling business in News Media thanks to the legacy his father left him. But he had none of friends. The only best friend he has is Deepak who is his only supporter in the board of directors of his company. Due to the difficult nature of Raj, he dont have many friends in his company. Many wants him out for good. But its only because of Deepak support and his own share in Company which deterred the rest from taking the decision.
Raj is about to go on a date today with his estranged wife Sunaina. Sunaina had been Rajs wife for 15 years and is still today madly in love with Raj. Raj called her a week back and the call rejuvnated the hope in Sunaina for re-invigorated love she had always hoped to find from Raj. Madly in love with Raj, she is too envious of any girl getting close to him. The attitude which led Raj to get estranged from her. Little does Sunaina knew that the date that she dreams is going to sow back the seeds of love with Raj, will instead end up in final break-up and divorce proposal from her half.
After getting ready. Raj took his car out and as soon as he drove out. A speeding truck hit him. The light turned off, the next time he saw the light he found himself in Hospital. The first thing he saw was a fragile thin man with dark complexion and black coat at window peeping into room who called in doctors. After mustering courage to sit up. He asked the doctors what happened. The doctors told him he had an accident and had been in Coma since 2 years. The thought of Reema immediately stuck him, He asked about her. The doctors told him no one ever came out to meet him while he had been in Hospital. Something must have gone wrong with Reema was the immediate thought in his head due to which she might not have come. But Deepak, he should have been. The thoughts of corporate conspiracy immediately struck his head. Some board Members might played fowl. He waited for Staff to leave the room. And then he immediately shook off all Life support machines and tumbled out of bed and fell on ground while trying to get out. He went to see the Mirror to be presentable, and saw that his face don't looks the same anymore. The left eye is missing. The jaw is not at place. The ugliest face he can ever imagine was in front of him. But he still found a T-shirt and trouser in washroom. He wore it and sneaked out of Hospital. He first went straight to Reema house. But the house was locked. He saw the same dark complexioned man he saw at Hospital at the Curb who immediately moved out of sight. Raj then left for his office. At Office gate he saw that the name of his company is gone and in place another name is placed. He was not allowed to get in. He asked from Gate keeper about what happened to old company. Gate keeper told him that it got bankrupted a year back and new owner has purchased it. He saw an old Employee who told him that Deepak and other Board Members ran a free hand after he was in Coma, and together they misappropriated its fund to bankruptcy. Raj asked where Deepak is now. He told him that he now owns a big company in another part of town but his home is not too far away.
Raj borrowed the car from his old employee and went on to see Deepak at his residence. He reached there at dead of night. As soon as he entered he held up the collar of Deepak. "Deepak you ass, you cheat, you mixed with the rest and bought down the company". But he was too fragile to be of any match to Deepak, who easily pushed him on to the floor and kicked him in the stomach. "Who are you Raj? to question me. You had no contribution in Company. Your father built the Company. All you ever did was only running after women. Me and your wife were your only friend. You threw out your wife out of your life whenever you wanted. She is the only women who loved you. While the rest were only lured by your power". "No" Raj shouted. "Reemaaaaa..... She loved me". A big laugh came out of Deepak "Who? Reema? She is my wife you poor dog. I had put her in your life you remember. She had only been in love with me. She was only put to manipulate you". It was a jolt from Blue for Raj "No.....you liar". "Yes" entered Reema. "You Pig. How can you think I can love you? One day you are with one and another time with someone else. All you had was money and Power. Now you are nothing, so get the hell out of here". Entered the guards who manhandled the Raj and threw him out on streets.
A big cry came out of Raj. His whole life was is shambles. He had nothing left. He kept on crying sitting on the road. After the tears dried out. He saw the same dark complexioned man he saw at hospital at the curb. Raj mustered all the strength he had and ran after him. He ran hard like this is the only thing left in his life and after a short chase he caught the guy by his coat. But the man shook of his coat, gave a big push and a kick back to Raj. Raj got floored, which gave the chance to man to run away into oblivion. After getting his senses back Raj searched the pockets of Coat. He found a sheet. The heading on the sheet said "Raj - Fantasy Dream" and in another pocket he found the card with the name "Dream Contractors" on it and an address. He went back to his car and drove off the address. But it was all barren there. Nothing in sight for long. There was only a gutter there. He almost Left but then thought of checking the gutter once. As soon as he pushed the gutter, the gutter opened. Raj saw a ladder going down. He climbed down the ladder. At the bottom he saw a sprawling space filled with people. With people moving from here and there like its a factory. And he indeed was in a factory. There he saw the board "Dream Contractors". He moved around in the factory just like other workers. At last he saw the man he had been looking for. He saw him working on his desk and then leaving after some time. He went to his desk and opened his drawer. He found a file with te title written on it as "Raj - Fantasy Dream". In it he found written whatever has happened to him today. After reading more he found that the company handles dreams. And dreams are either qualified as Fantasy Dream or Nightmare Dream. The Name of Dark Complexioned man is actually Jack who is assigned to monitor Raj. But Raj was not able to understand about how come it is a Fantasy Dream when it had been a nightmare for him. After Deepak cheated him he has become cynical and now thinks that he is cheated by Dream Contractors too. He was issued the dream of Fantasy but Jack has made it Nightmare for him. He waited for Jack to return. Jack came back. Took out the file and left for his home. Raj followed him. Jack went to his building and went to rooftop. Raj sneaked in. "Welcome Raj" Jack said. "How do you know I am following You?" Raj replied. "I know everything" replied Jack. Raj went straight to hold his throat out. "Why have you made it nightmare for me? When it was ought to be a fantasy". "I am sorry I cannot tell you" Jack replied. "You will, otherwise I ll kill you" Raj said. "You can't. Otherwise you ll be tried" Jack squeaked. "Thanks that's what I want. I want to bring your lies out." Raj said. "You should not do that. The truth might be discomforting" Jack squeaked. "I don't give a shit" and Raj pushed him down from the rooftop of the Building.
The lights again went black. And this time he found himself in a room sitting on chair next to an old man sitting on chair watching him. "Who are you?" Asked Raj. "I am owner of Dreams Contractors" asked the old man. "Thanks I wanted to meet you." Raj exclaimed "Your Workers are corrupt." The old man gave him a smile back "How?". He took out the file "Read it. Its written Raj-Fantasy Dream. But your worker carried out a night mare for me. What kind of watch do you keep on your workers." Raj shouted. The old man read the file. "Yeah I do had given task of Fantasy Dream to Jack". "So how come this conspiracy took place. Why don't you employ right people and keep watch." Raj shouted. The old man again gave a laugh. "Why do you think its not a fantasy?" Old man said. "Read the file. Does it sounds fantasy to you?" Raj gawked. "Yes it is" said old man. "Let me explain. It is a fantasy. But its not your fantasy. It is a fantasy of Sunaina. Jack was given a task of controlling you the subject of Fantasy of Sunaina. You are just a pawn.". Raj stood there shocked. "You divorced your wife. You was her only life. She loved you with all core. But you never returned the favor. After you divorced her. Her love turned into hatred and only thing she wants is your destruction. And you and me right now are part of her dream. Not your dream Mr Raj. And she will do just like anything she may want". "But this is dream right I can pinch myself and get out." "Try it out Raj. But before that, a parting advice from me,--Never do things that make you part of somebodies fantasy as your nightmares". Raj pinched and he got out of his sleep with a big "Ugh". He checked his watch the clock was at 8 o'clock. His date with Sunaina is at 1 PM. But something in him has changed.
It was broad daylight. Raj was getting ready for a date. He was brushing his hairs. The tie was resting on a chair nearby. And a neatly pressed Coat on hanger was hanging on side wall.
