Trust !!

He turned around on his bed, shifted his weight from his almost numb left side to the right side. If it were not for the ringing phone he would not have turned at all. May be he would have been one of those rare cases of self induced paralysis.

He looked at the phone and it was the phone call he was waiting for! He answered the call and heard discretely “meet me at my place” and before he could even say something the phone beeped at him. He checked the time it was two in the morning. He laid there for almost 36 hours doing nothing; his blood boiling with feelings of deception. But more than that, he was trying to reconcile! Trying to justify his acts, his overt reactions, but then may be he was justified.


These thoughts ran in his head in an infinite loop. Crumbling him in the process and he decided to do nothing about. May be he did more than what was necessary. Or may be what he did was apt; he wished someone could decide that for him. But he knew, he was the best judge!


He woke up, he hardly could stand! There was this numb feeling in the most parts of body and his brain got settled so much that he felt the aversion of the change in inertia. Soon there was blood flow, and he pulled himself to the parking lot and got into the vehicle.


The “words meet at my place” echoed in his brain. While he was driving, his brain pushed itself back into the contemplation. It knows it suspects a tad bit too much, it knows it is provocative and has the tendency to go off the tangent, it knows a million other things about itself, but it also settled rather liked itself to believe that it cannot to do anything about it. So it keeps creating in itself a world where it makes itself to believe that whatever it does was right. He was but just a pawn!


Soon he reached the friend’s place. He was almost reluctant to meet, somewhere deep down in his heart he liked to believe that what he did was right. But then again, it was his best friend; he valued the friendship so he went ahead! Soon he reached the door and pressed at the call button reluctantly.


What followed was a deafening silence! But thankfully it got over when the door opened. But it all happened in a split second. He could not remember what happened first.


Did he hear those words screaming into his ears “Now would you believe I did not do it? There is no other way!”


Or did he feel the warm liquid falling on his face with an unusual gush! Or did he see first a beheaded body struggling in pain?


Karan was flicking through the channels, he was rather bored to see all channels show the gory images of two beheaded bodies found in an apartment of the city. He sighed heavily and put on his favorite cartoon channel !!
