It was middle of the street of the heavily crowded area of Seven Bunglows, a suburb of the metropolitan city of Mumbai. It was the last day of the Hindu calendar month of shradh(ritual in the memory of ancestors), 1st Sunday of the English calendar month of October also known as Halloween. There were people flocking around the street, Vinay in his curiosity went on to check out the scene of what was happening around, but was surprised and his face turned white, he was mute and shocked to the core, as if the earth beneath his feet was pulled away and he lost all his senses, after a minute he tried to take control of his senses and get back on his feet, tears started to roll down his cheeks and his body trembling, " I... it....ca..can't.... be hap...happening" words mumbled out of his shaky mouth as he still tied to grasp the scene. In front of him lied his dearest friend, a 26 year old guy, his name was Arch Rockheart, an average guy with a weak build,but geeky glasses and month old shaved face, lied soaked in blood with multiple injuries. A person from the crowd looks at Vinay and asks if he knows who this person is?
"Aru da" is all he could manage to speak as memories of their childhood days, college times, and times that they spent together started to roll in his head. As he approached Arch there taking his last breath, with tears of regret filled in his eyes as he looked towards Vinny (vinay).
"Forgive me, Aru, just hold on, I am here, don't worry, ambulance will be here any moment, we'll get you fixed, you'll be fine, trust me"
before he could say anything else Arch handed over a peace of paper in Vinny's hand as if entrusting all his burden and responsibilities to him. With smile on his face he passed away with his eyes staring at the watch where the clock stopped at 6:06:06 date 06/06/06.
