With the sweet sounds of the birds, the sun rose up. It was not so cold day even it Is the last day of December. Yeah! The last day of the year 2021. It is not only just a new year but also it's a new hope. Joy can be seen everywhere to welcome the upcoming new hope, The new year. From birds to the ocean are enjoying the last day of this year. No one will ever get this day again, this year again. Bie 2021. You are going to die. You are going to be memories, only memories.
With these wonderful thoughts in my mind, I stood up from my sleep. The time is 6:10. It was quite a bad year for me. What happened to me, all are entirely not so good. But I am not gonna lose this awesome year. This year is mine and I will be good from tomorrow onwards. Wow, I am feeling so great. I have great hopes. I will show wonders in my work. Will impress everyone in the office. Tomorrow onwards I am turning to another man. So let's have a rehearsal today.
I stood up from my bed. Hmm! Wanna go jogging daily. A lot of new habits are to be taken. This is not just like I often say, this is real. I can feel the freshness. Then I suddenly heard mom's voice from the kitchen. She is saying loudly:
"Hey Oliver, come on it's over, wake up!"
I reflected in the same loudness:
"yeah, I am awake mom! "
And went down to the kitchen. Hoping tomorrow to wake up a little early.
I couldn't help myself eating the tasty egg rolls mom had made. It was unexplainable. Really one of the most delicious breakfasts mom ever made. The awesome taste made me eat more than usual. But I couldn't eat them with that much joy any longer. Suddenly when the last piece of egg roll just entered my oesophagus, I became shocked and froze, at the same time, mom has asked it as well.
"Did you brush your teeth?
I could escape from her hands. But not from her angry words. She rained her full words copiously upon me. It was like the crackers supposed to pop today midnight accidentally popped so early in the morning. Anyway, the rehearsal failed itself.
I understood the truth only after looking at the clock. Oh no, I am late! I made a hurry. When I left my home, 9:15 has passed. So I kept walking as fast as I can. Suddenly the neighbour old aunt jumped in front of me asking How's your dad? That question really made me angry. Not to the aunt, to my father itself.
"It's better not to say anything about him"
By replying to these eight words only, I moved ahead ignoring the aunt.
I diverged from the real world and started sailing in my thoughts. Dad, when I was in my mother's womb, was struck with a car accident. The injury wasn't so hard outside in the body but inside it was damaged a lot. Not only did he lose his memory but also he became a crazy man. Unexplainably mad! Talking with him makes everybody feel like killing him unless mom. After asking how are you, he says the dog caught the hippo then can you swim?
"Hell!"
I hate him more than I do any others. I often become angry at him, even I did Beat him many times as well. Because he is dangerous, He will take away our peace of mind. Will make us mad like him. That's the dad I know.
The horn of the bus which I meant to go shook and brought me out of my thoughts to the real world. Whoa! My bus is leaving the stop. I ran with my utmost speed but they didn't stop.
Oh again!
"I don't wanna hear any more excuses, Mr Oliver. This is the same story for months. From the day you entered this company! If you can't come in time then just simply leave!
Okay look, this is the last warning. Next time, if you Pursue this, be ready to handle the suspension card! "
Sir concluded by hitting the wooden desk. I stood in the same way I am standing for the past months. Fully with respect, discipline and boredom. Oh yeah, time to get to my table.
I thought that job life would be much better than college. But now I feel totally vice-versa. Then, from the teachers, now from Harry sir!
I don't care but something is making me depressed. It had been better if I were like Spencer. Having a job abroad, plenty of money as salary, well-known scientist. What else a man can dream? Actually, he is the backbone of our little home. Mom is very proud of him. The money I had used for the bus itself was his. Yeah, I agree, I am poor, having no money said to be mine completely. I had got my first salary a few weeks before but It did change to foods and drinks as immediately as I got it and entered the stomach of only mine!
Hmm...
My meagre income can't fix all my needs. But I will surely be a well-known researcher soon. Even I am not a qualified researcher, not doing a related career, I do research the things I felt interesting by myself. On the nights. That is a passion actually. I don't know why but I love researching the scientific mysteries which an indigenous man may feel as something unbelievable. Sure one day my research will make discussions. And that day is not so far away.
I am presently working on the fascinating power of magnetism. This is an entirely different but more powerful concept. It could change the falsity beliefs that we are presently following.
I think tonight, I could complete that. Now just the experimenting is only needed. I must have to do that today. The new year newspapers will have my name on the front page in gold letters. Spencer's Lab would call me offering me the honourable seat, everyone who saw me a fool will understand the fool's power. But what if it doesn't work on experimenting? I would lose everything. My time, efforts and everything.
This time, my co-worker as well as my intimate friend Tommy helped me get off the thoughts. He was just asking something:
"Hey Olive!
How are you gonna celebrate New year night babe?
Are you coming with us ?"
I replied hesitantly after Tommy:
"Nope!
Not tonight dude, I am a little busy."
With a mocking taste he said:
"Oh sorry, you are a busy man."
Tommy turned away for finding another man. After Tommy, soon Alice showed up. Actually, I was really shocked. The last time I met her, her elder brother Nick was also there with her. The things that happened after was really terrific. The things I don't ever want to memorise. With the reason I proposed to her, he slapped both of my cheeks. What happened after those hot slaps are still unknown. Anyway, that was my fate.
Now what might be in her mind?
Office left, I am walking along the street gently with Alice's words in mind. She requested me to come to the Cups coffee shop tomorrow morning. She wants to say something to me. She left saying sorry. Sorry for Nick's attitude. I don't know anything, what's gonna happen, why she requested me to come there to the coffee shop tomorrow or anything. But I am sure that that invitation is something positive. Something good is gonna happen. Unless, why she said sorry?
With pleasant thoughts in mind, I went to the coffee shop and drank a cup of hot coffee. I don't know why but I felt more peace than ever. The pleasure in my mind forced me to buy a doughnut too. Wow! I got the bus just when I set off the shop. Bad morning and a calm eve. Great!
My fortune didn't last long. On my way back home I was to encounter a mad dog. If it jumped just a little distance more, I might definitely be bitten by that demon.
But God didn't stop playing with my fortune. My panting even wasn't stopped then. A thief grabbed an old woman's purse and started running in front of me. I tried my best to catch him. After a few whiles of Tom and Jerry, I finally got him.
"Gotcha!"
He punched me in the face and ran away. Anyway, I could save the purse. As a reward, the old woman brought me a bandaid. To band on my nose!
Hmmm hmm, my life is not gonna be okay!
As soon as I reached home, again the next problem came. I have to encounter dad's words:
"Are you okay? Did Hitler hurt you son?
I paid no attention to his words nor to him. I am already dead, can't able to say anything to his killing words. So I went ahead straight to my room. It was a tedious day.
All the city is now awake at this eleven o'clock night to welcome the new year. They are waiting for the twelve o'clock to pass. Crackers, cakes all are ready to welcome the new heir of time. All are waiting except me who is anxious about the outcome of an earthquake experiment. If there is any silence anywhere, that's in my house. But silence no longer can live anywhere if there is a man.
"Bravo!"
I couldn't able to believe my eyes. My experiment is a hundred percent successful. I, Oliver has been discovered a particular natured magnetism that is gonna make me famous, rich and proud. My mind is going through a different stage which usually doesn't occur in any human being. I don't know what to call this, happiness, pride, joy, I don't know.
"Calm, calm..."
I talked to myself. Just wait for one day, tomorrow I will send the report to Spencer's mail. His lab could able to experiment this with sophisticated instruments. This is Newyear night. let him and his co-workers have fun. Tomorrow night I will definitely send these all notes and considerably they will lose their sleep. But actually, the sleep of mine seems to be gone. The discovery, New hopes associated with the New year and Alice made me wish tomorrow come fast. So I went to my bed. Tried to sleep for making tonight go fast. Just like all the people now wish to ring the twelve o'clock I wish to ring tomorrow morning. All the thoughts are just disturbing my sleep. After thinking about the equations I have formulated, I redirected to Alice. What she was supposed to say to me? Finally, I decided to go out and join others at the New year celebrations. Soon my ears struck with a harsh sound. Something unexplainable and unusual.
It is sharpening. Soon I saw a huge flash of light on my window. I stood still unaware of what was happening. Gently I walked towards them to know what was that. I gazed out through the window but nothing was there. Hoping it some new sort of crackers, I turned my head. Simultaneously I saw a shadow on my door. The shadow of a man.
"Who is that?"
I asked aloud. But no reply. I yelled.
"Who are you?"
Suddenly a white, truly high intense light fell on my eyes. It is rushing and continued until it made me blind.
