The undesired journey

Mahesh Aryal


It was one of the boring college days. Reallysometimes college sucks when the lectures become boring and you must keep yourevery interest inside your pocket and keep it enclosed in metallic ziplistening to your boring lecturers. And that day it was a zoology theory of Ecosystem.

Ecological Pyramids, erect, inverted, straight up, Frog eating a fly with its flexible, elongated bifid tongue and snake with its angled headengulfing the same frog, same snake creeping in a bushy pasture to escape fromthe eagle. We became sluggish like a dead bird during that hour .The best thingthat made us boring was his continuous writing through out the class hour onthe white board without turning back.


 He mightn'thave known about the famous couple deed in his class. It would be leastinteresting thing to see a kissing couple when the teacher was there teach Ecosystem.He taught about the hormones like Thyroxin, ADH, LH, adrenaline etc but I amreally confused which hormones produces such effect on them but I never askedabout it. It wasn't an effective class anyway but that day it was quite moreboring .One hour, two hours and five hours went on like that .I caught thecollege bus and went straight to my house. I could easily see the lightening onthe hills and listen thundering. 

"Whythe sky is looking so sad?" I questioned myself.
"Please don't cry untilI reach my house ".After getting off and waving
  goodbyesto Classmates I went straight to my house .I felt well then.

"Where they had gonebloody?" looking at the closed door I hit on the edge.
I got more tension .I waitedthem for about half an hour.

"Itgot the line crossed." I threw the bag on the corner and went to my friend'shouse. I felt myself demented.
"Hey! Sonam what's up? What are you doingbuddy?"
"Hey! You."Said Sonam with his surprised face.
"Actually,you are the unexpected shit, Kush." SaidJolly.
"Are yousure? I had a bad day today."
I replied looking towards the television. They gaveme an indifferent puzzled look when I looked at the T.V.

"And Kush how is your college nowadays."Jolly asked me.
"Don't talk about that I became a roasted bird today." I hesitated to my college part.

Ram, myclassmate at high school came with the bottles of whisky.
"Kush baby how is your day going with beautiful chicks?" He questioned in interesting way.
I don't know why boys are so much interested in such matters.
"Mmm, it will be worse only to see beautifulgirls, right?" I replied with a great laugh although it wasn't a goodjoke.
Bilash enteredwith his black face with plates of roasted chicken.
I realizedthat I was uninvited guest.

"Hey! Kush I think you won't take it." Bilash laughed at me.
"Don'tsay so he had been changed nowadays "Sonam added.
I am very confused about this changed word. It always sucks me. It might be the most frequently used word by my family member'sesp. my mom, my brother and my some special friends.
Not so! I replied without looking their faces. Imanaged my oddness looking T.V.

The rainbecame heavier and blasting sound came on my ear.
"It's too cold Ram. Aren't we making a plan toget fired today?" Jolly cried from the corner of the room.
"Let'shave a fire!" Ram jumped from the sofa.
Oh! Wait I will just come. Sumit went to the store room to search woods.
After sometime he came with a fire crucible. I felt quite warm. There were clean transparent glasses, bottles of whisky, Co cola,Salads and roasted chickens.
All of them begun to be drunk that day. They just picked ¼ of whisky and added plenty of water. But as time passed the ratiochanged into 4:1.
I felt quite uneasy then. They were forcing me from the beginning, but I randomly denied.
I was just thinking about my father's word.
They began to dance on 'dinkachika' which was playing on the background.
Actually they weren't real dancers; the real dancerswere the bottles of the whisky.

"HeyMahesh would you like to have a little?"
"You must at least taste it today."
"For the sake of our friendship."
"In thename of your Ex"
Voices coming from my drunkard friends just hit on my head. Actually this 'sake' word is very confusing. It is very hard to take astand against this sake word. Same happened to me.
"Oh! No My baba will be standing for me."I tried to resist myself for the last time.
"Bullshit! What will he do? You are the legal candidate to have this." one of them said.
I was compelled to do that day which was really unexpected for me.
