"Yes...I love you too..." and a long gasp for breath. The lie that he has been telling over and over again to different girls, in different places, at different times.
Last night had been a usual weekend start for him.Fried chicken, a bottle of whisky, a packet of cigarettes and a couple of rounds of sex.Ususally he felt tired enough to have some respite of sleep but today it was different.
After hours of struggle he rose to light a cigarette .Clad in minimal outfit he went to comfort himself on the chair he kept in the balcony of his apartment in 1040 Fifth Avenue,NYC.
He switched on his Samsung D1.11 and suddenly got deluged with reminiscence of the older times. Samsung was the company that gave him his first break. Life has never been a walk in the park for him. His education and his struggle to get his first job has immuned him in dealing with difficult situations.” It isn’t over till its over”. He generally used to say to his sub-ordinates .From the graduates of top engineering institutes to the uneducated masses of U.P,they all want to be ruled. Only difference is in the idea that they bow there heads to. If u are ready to take charge, you can rule the world. Just get addicted to the drug of taking calculated risks and back them up.Paitently wait for the right time and when it comes go for the kill!!!These simple strategies had got him here from a 1 room house in Mirzapur to 3 Bedroom apartment in the most expensive place in the world.
Today the years of travel, of defeats, of victories, of achievements, of failures were rising in his mind and militated against the camouflage of the persona he has created. Today the burden of living someone else's life has become unbearable that even a lavish dinner, exotic wine, best brands of cigarettes and ... can't overcome.
His mind wondered to reach his oldest memories of his early childhood… Mirzapur ,a small town in U.P.Being youngest in the family , he was loved commanded,rebuked by all .The family was run with a single agenda...to give the children best possible education. The income was limited, but so were the wants. He used to spend most of the time wandering through the neighborhood that comprised of a big play ground, remains of a church build in colonial times, some houses, and enough nature's presence to keep a child busy...........
...Suddenly the mobile rang....Its 5 already, the usual time to wake up. He was already up but not in this world. He exited the alarm and went inside to have a cup of tea and of course his usual medication...a cigarette.
