Echo Effect


The day of Navratri, purity in the air. Incense sticks and vibrant Diya flames brought the perfect illumination and calmness in the room that can made one stay in room just a little longer. The chanting and hymns started since early morning, to get it completed before son leaves for office. Mother beautifully draped in the hue of orange, and Father elegantly dressed in the beige color kurta pajama.

A whoosh of air, reverberant sound just crossed their son.

“Hello
Are you there?
Are you…….. there, Aunty?”


Was it someone calling his mother
or was it Auditory hallucination.

Binya decides to spend time in her attic today.
She pulled out her old binder, where she had kept some old greeting cards, photographs and letters with faded ink.
Few songs from her sophomore year began playing at the back of her mind.
" I once had a wild heart!", She exclaimed.
Her tea mug, half empty gazed at her plainly.
She began typing, " Dear 2009....."

~ Meow ~

Meow.. Meow..

She woke up in middle of the night. The meowing was clear and louder from the porch of her house. 

It's almost midnight and still he is awake. Something seemed wrong, yet she wasn't sure. 

She mustered courage and went downstairs. The meow was getting fainter and fainter. She checked outside through the eyehole in main door. No one was there. Everything was quiet.

She opened the door and checked. Tom's litter mat was covered in dust and his food tray, with a week old leftover food.

Tom was gone. Her vision got blurred with tears.!

~ Parting ~

Knocks at the door was getting louder and louder. He wished he could respond. But there was no strength left in him. All he could see was blurred surroundings and the floor damped in blood. He was dying.! He wanted it to be smooth and painless.,

He wanted to see her for one last time. What if it was her at the door? Joy and panic struck him together on that thought. He knew he couldn't do anything now.  

Thud. 

His lifeless body fell on the floor, as he tried to reach the door knob.

"Cut...!", The director shouted.
