One
fine day as I woke up jobless, I wanted to escape into a place where
none would find me, not even my mother. All I had to do was just
leave a note and start off, my idea was to let go a lot of things,
people and attachment but least did I know that I would be stuck up
with one for a lifetime.
As
I looked around for a bus to hop into, I found the one that took me
to my most favorite destination of all time. Yeah, Mangalore! I got
inside the local bus and started my journey towards this place and
exactly in the morning at 6 AM I was in this ever charming city of
Mangalore. With absolutely no ideas, I wandered around thinking of
what should I be doing next when the conductor screamed, “Kasargod,
Kasargod”! Even without thinking twice, I jumped into the bus, sat
next to an old man happily smiling away to glory with the thoughts of
violent waves from the Beach in Bekal Fort hitting my face.
It
was a couple of hours journey from Mangalore to Kasargod, got down
and started walking towards the fort. With my blue hat (BAE) on my
head trying to challenge the Mr. Hot Sunny was really appreciable.
With a bag hung on my back, I started walking upwards to perch on a
wall close to the waves. I laid down on the wall dangling my legs and
listening to one of the old melodies from Kishore Da's collections
when a pair of unknown hands startled me. Even before I got up to see
what it was, the creature with two pair of limbs had started running
away with my hat in his hands looking back teasingly at me. I am no
athlete, yet I wanted to get back my BAE back, I chased the creature
and no sooner was I about to lay my hands on him came four more
people to scare me away. I was breathless and I realized that it was
pointless running anymore.
I
stopped and turned around to see the guy standing right behind me
with my hat in his hands and demanded for my name, when I said my
name it got registered as Bruni and he was Nick. Nicko, is what I
started to call him.
Here
I stop my writing, the more I write the more I miss you, the less I
write, the better I feel and the more you will stay in my heart
forever.
Some
people walk into your life for a brief period and leave the
impressions forever.
