Trifecta : Lucky, don't know! - Episode 1

Her phone started ringing. It said,” Vishal calling”. A moment ago, she was almost mumbling to herself cursing him to stand her up again.  But, seeing his name flash, the first thing she said once she had her phone-mic near her mouth were, “Vishal, are you okay? Where are you?” The voice on the other side said, “Hi! I am not Vishal. It looks like Vishal is down on the ground, puking and is out of his senses. He had your number on speed-dial and that’s how I called you".” “Where are you? Can you please … tell me… where is he... are you?”, her voice started breaking. The guy on the phone said, “I am in Mid-town Bar, 500 meters south of the Hotel Trans-Scend on the BelAir Road.” And, within  seconds, she was out of the restaurant and inside her black sedan. She fed in the address into the GPS, and soon she was out of the parking lot and on the road making hasty turns. The road was clear, with almost no traffic, a surprise considering it was just a little late after 9. May be it was raining, or just late. The wilderness on the road had her delve into the memories from past of how they met. A lucky encounter… she might convince her heart, but she clearly knew she deserved more.

    This could lead to so many places. I hope you continue the story along with the trifecta prompts. Never done that myself but Janna does that, must be difficult i guess, though

Trifecta : Rain that saved her ! - Episode 3

It was a Saturday, a normal day-off for everybody else that she had gone to the office with the dying hope of her project meeting its deadline, that they actually met. Both have been working in the same offices for quite some time, more like a couple of years, even sitting in the adjacent cubicles but they had barely interacted; except from the occasional hi’s and the good mornings’. There was always a reluctance, a sheer hesitation in his eyes even when they would rise in order to wish her the same. To everybody, he was just another workaholic who would move out of his cubicle, make a beeline to the pantry, take coffee, and make another beeline back to his place. So, that day, just for company’s sake over lunch, she asked Vishal to join her. And since then, everything had started falling out of place. She had expected it to be a sour company, a dull conversation if at-all. Out of courtesy,they offered each other, Vidya offering him her self-made  matar-paneer  an...

My life in the box

I live in a box. My world may seem strange to you. But, it’s not as bad as you think. It does have holes in it which lends me some fresh air from time-to-time. You may think I must be scared of the big-burly cat living on the outside but I am not. We are kind of best friends. I can listen to all the chatter from outside.  But now I can close my ears whenever I want to without anyone seeing. The holes, I must reveal now, ain’t my best friends either. They complicate things for me because I can’t feel the total darkness here because of them. Just when I am about to, rays of sun from these holes try to illuminate it down here for me as if I am some impotent chap, not capable of doing that on my own. They just don’t get it! So if they are not going to stop playing this naïve game, they are going to get a worthy opponent in me. And so in retrospect, I plastered few of them with black paper. But now, right this moment, I want to live out in the open again, enjoy the warmth...

Was she the luckiest?

Woke up just to find ‘twas a dream, Drenched in the ecstasy of loneliness. But he was nowhere to be found. Tears in her eyes, She knew she had defaulted. Again. How could she face them all without him? Selfish, had she been again? Not sure! Opened her windows. Desperately waiting for a  sun to dawn. But a mirage featured, Because  it was too good to be true. Sitting on the curb was her man, Her soulmate! Scampered she to apologize, Just to find him with his arms wide opened. Surprised, was she the luckiest?     __________________________________________________________ Link to Trifecta Homepage:  http://www.trifectawritingchallenge.com/   This is my response to the Trifecta weekly challenge, which is to write a 33 to 333-word response  using the following word/definition: ECSTASY  (noun):  trance;  especially : a mystic or prophetic trance
