Looking back at DREAMS

Sound of the alarm woke him up.

Through the half opened eyes he searched on the table to find the source of the sound; his mobile. His two hands also joined the search, his hands moved on the bed. His hands touched something, it was a book. His search continued and caught the mobile.
He wanted to snoop the alarm but the note on the screen caught his attention. "EXAMS"

-"Sir"
-"Yes"
-"You flight is in two hour."
-"Thanks for the reminder, Kali."

It was his butler Kali. For a busy businessman like him its good to have a butler to do the households."

"Oh Shit! the flight is in 2 hr," 


He jumped out of the bed and went into the shower. He is going to his home, his birthplace, his everything. Why was he going? He had no doubt in the answer to write exams supplementary exams. It had been 3 years since he finished his college days, but as a path to look back he have these exams.

He was all alone now. With the curse of university.

Those were some fine days; he remembered. In the first years he was a Nerd. then in 2nd he got evolved to a Freak. In 3rd the next evolution stage Junkie. Finally in 4th he became an Engineer. It was not his dream to be an Engineer. He was just a plain kid with lots of imagination and dreams.

He don't remember when his friends 'dreams' and 'imagination' gave way to new friends 'beer' and 'girls'. He don't know when he started asking friend "Which exam is today?" He don't remember when he started bunking class. He don't remember why he studied?

But in those days there were friends; friends for everything. Friends in every path and every turn he took. But now?

His parents scolded him, the advised him to  be a good son. To study hard and achieve many heights. They always told him to be good in selecting friends. But all he wanted is to select friend who will stay with him for ever. But now?


He finished the shower and got out of the bathroom. His phone was ringing. It was an unknown number. He attended the call.

"Dude, we are home where are you man i haven't even started the first module what about you macha?
