Old Nightmare

Introduction of the protagonist

“anyway the batsman there has gone through consecutive eleven ducks and still his team put him upward and now he is on 48 in 36, & 28 is needed on 6 for the Cup BR 2016, although he is the last hope they have”

“you sure, do they hope? Or they just gonna lieee..  …..  & maximum on the first ball, now 22 needed on 5 & the death stare…...... ”

I jolted awake, my breaths quick and shallow, the leftover of a horrifying dream fresh in my mind. My heart raced as I wrestled with the lingering terror from that twisted nightmare. Desperate for relief, I reached for the bedside lamp, filling the room with its warm glow, and gasped the bottle but couldn’t drink. 

It's the 27th of October, 2023, I’m now a teacher at The Palladian-House assigned to English Language & Literature, the tag I never wished for my deathbearer even!

A long holiday of four days ends here, Susmita is on the phone, and a few dead crispy lovely hated arguments abided by love & care still need to get paid off. She is crying over the distance we have, I am bothered by something more important, my job. I have eight regular classes today, and three evening classes, I have to fix up the syllabus dilemma & must submit the half-yearly question papers by Oct 30th. 

“I also teach in school, I slept for just four hours last night, and still I get time for you. 

But you didn’t get the time to….”

“ Yes, I didn’t.” 

………  ………..  …

………..  …

“I always love you, but now I have to leave.

Love you, bye.”

“Nah! Not right now… ”

That’s how my life goes on.
