"...Wake up…."
" ….Wake up Baal (Hair)…"
[A.N- In Hindi, Baal means Hair]
'…huh? What?'
"...Wake up Kaal (Death)…"
[A.N- In Hindi, Kaal means Death.]
'Wait…I heard it wrong…"
"I am going to give you a lovely kiss~~ if you are not going to wake up!"
'…why do I feel like that this person is calling me..?'
'Aaahh…..my body won't budge at all!!'
"Uunnhh!! I've been waiting my whole life for this opportunity. I am definitely going to kiss you today~~"
'Where is this hot air coming from? Don't tell me this guy is trying to kiss me. NO!!! F*ck!! MOVE! MOVE! MOVE! WHY DOESN'T MY BODY MOVE!!!"
"Muuhuhuhuhu"
At last, as if even the gods couldn't bear to witness 'this' and 'that' happening to our dear Mc, his eyes finally opened and he swung his fist towards the source of that voice.
Bam
"Aaaah! Kaal, if you don't want to do 'that' with me then just say it. There is no need to get violent, right? My eye! Look what you have done to my beautiful eye. It looks like a panda's eye now."
As Kaal opened his eyes, he found a boy around 12-13 years jumping left and right, caressing his eye. As the boy calmed down after just a short while and faced Kaal, only then was he able to truly make out his features. Although that boy's words were very narcissistic, but he did have the things required to back those words. He had a pair of big, bright eyes that shone like jewels. He had a small nose and right below it was his thin and delicate lips. His face was like a pure expanse of snow. His hairs were also light-grey in color.
'My God! Who is this? How can he be so…so beautiful?'
Kaal hurriedly looked down. He couldn't handle the 'charming aura' coming from that boy. As he looked at himself, he found out that he was wearing some tattered clothes. There were holes here and there on his clothes but they were still good enough at his private places. At least his clothes covered that area otherwise the beautiful boy would have sensed the awakening of the 'creator' of the human beings in there.
Now, Kaal was feeling very conflicted. He wanted to look at that boy once again but a boy looking at another boy, now that wasn't something good, right?
'F*ck it! Let me watch him just one more time.'
As Kaal lifted his head, he suddenly froze. When he observed the boy carefully once again, he found that everything was beautiful about that boy except for one thing. That boy had a Bloody As*-like chin with some curly hairs growing out from between his two 'butt-cheeks'.
Suddenly, the 'creator' fell from the highest peak to the lowest grounds. It took a serious hit and it seemed like it would take a few days, months, or even years to recover.
"Kaal! Kaal! What happened to you? Tell me, what happened to you? Why is there foam coming out of your mouth? Is it because of me? Did you become pregnant because of me trying to kiss you? But the old man Hawas (Old man Lust) didn't say anything about this at all. Wuhuhu…but I am not yet ready to take some responsibilities…Wuhuhu…? Kaal! What happened to you now? Why are you puking blood?"
Kaal was feeling very indignant. The beautiful face of his dreams was destroyed by that Blo*dy A*s-like chin and his brain had gone blank for a moment as he couldn't handle that big of a shock. When he woke up once again, he heard a sorrowful cry of how someone couldn't take responsibilities for making one pregnant. When he understood what was going on, he almost couldn't control his anger.
He jumped and pointed his finger at the boy's chin and shouted fiercely, "What the F*CK is that? Why is that thing there? Tell me!!!"
The boy stopped crying as he saw Kaal jumping suddenly.
"What type of question is that? Obviously, it will be there as it is my chin-"
"THAT'S AN A*S YOU…YOU IDIOT."
"But my a*s is down here. How can it be on my chin?"
The boy pointed at his back and said. He was getting a little confused. First, Kaal was foaming from his mouth earlier and then he started puking blood and now he was breathing like a wild beast with bloodshot eyes. What was happening to his brother? Is Kaal going through that time of month like the girls? But the old man Hawas didn't tell me about this happening to a boy. Looks like I've got to ask him about all this soon.
[A.N- In Hindi, Hawas means Lust. I just named him like this for fun. In reality, no one would name their son Lust, right?]
"You..You..You…"
Kaal really wanted to cry right now. He breathed in deeply a few times under the confused eyes of the boy and calmed himself down. As he calmed down, he realized that he didn't know who he was nor that boy and the place he was in. He had no memories at all. His brain at that moment was like a blank paper with nothing written on it.
'Looks like I have somehow lost all my memories.'
From the way the boy was calling him, he seemed familiar with the person he was before he had lost his memories.
Kaal looked around himself and saw that there was nothing but a very old tree behind him. The tree was planted on top of a small hill and it was so huge that he couldn't even see the top of the tree. The tree trunk was so wide that at least 20-30 people would be required to cover it by joining their hands. The sky was bright and free of any clouds. The 5 suns were also shining very brightly. There was no grass to be found on the whole hill, only the barren land could be seen.
'Where am I? Who am I?'
"Hey, tell me who are you? And who am I?"
"Huh? Why are you asking this? Are you trying to say that you don't want to recognize me as your brother after I try to kiss you just once today? Don't do this to me. Wuhuhuhu…"
'The way he is talking feels like that this wasn't his first time trying to kiss me. Argh! How can I have such a brother?'
"No. It's just that I don't remember anything"
The boy stopped crying and looked at Kaal for a brief moment. He asked suspiciously, "But how could that happen? Are you sure you're not lying to me?"
"I am telling the truth."
Kaal said with a straight face. Suddenly, the boy shouted, "Oh I remember now. You were struck by lightning today but miraculously you survived. But you were dizzy the whole time and asked me if there was any quiet place around. I thought that you were feeling a little sleepy and told you to come here. This was the best place to sleep that I had found accidentally one day. So that lightning didn't do anything to you but did take your memories. Don't worry my brother. I will tell you everything you want to know.
After some time Kaal understood everything. His name was Kaal (Death) and he was an orphan just like that boy. The boy's name was Khajoor. They lived in a small county named Shalimar County. They were very poor and had to work in many different places just to earn some livings. He believed every single thing Khajoor said except that they were a couple that lived happily even in the poverty.
[A.N- In Sanskrit, Shalimar means 'Abode of Love'. Just named it fun. And Khajoor means Date Palm in Hindi.]
'Looks like, it is a new start for me.'
