“Us uncle ko tum pasand aa gaye ho be Axle”
But Axle wouldn’t reply. He was still in a state of shock.
Chashmish grasped that something was very wrong. He
grabbed Vodka and champak and left the community
center along with Axle. As soon as they went outside
Axle went Hysterical and detailed the situation to
everyone. Everyone unanimously agreed that it wasn’t
safe to be in that area as Axle was extremely volatile
and decided to head back to the hostel. It took a lot of
convincing from vodka, Chashmish and Champak to get
him to calm down when they made their way back from
the community center. However inspite of all their
efforts Axle was in a zombie state on reaching the
hostel. When inside, they started looking for Haddi,
Untees and Mariyal but couldn’t find them anywhere.This
is when Vodka realized they had missed a very obvious
place, the roof.
The roof was a mini bar today. Haddi, Untees and
Mariyal had already drank 8 bottles of beer and had 10
more lined up. Chashmish recounted Axle’s story and
instantly Axle was handed over 2 bottles. They cursed,
they broke bottles, and they cried and in the end passed
out on the rooftop.
The wind had no inkling of the storms that had passed
by today. It kept meandering on the roof where two
eyes stayed open a little longer than the others. They
stared at the sky for a while when the stars became too
hazy due to tears which came in between.
“What a day!!”
Sighed Haddi, closed his eyes and went to sleep.
