On a dull morning devoid of remembering the time for the college, Shan who is a fair and a lethargic gentle man of a Politician had been resting in the nook of the room embraced the pillow and the blanket. Shan had to be waked up by one, though he used to come to the college by bike. So it was an obligation of Dave, who is an intellectual and fun maker of the gang, to wake him up over a phone.
Even though he was not waked up, he himself would reach the college late as it was unbearable for him being at home. Nandh, rather opposite to Dave in character, used to reach the college bus stop just ten minutes before Dave reached it just as Saka and Savan, good entertainers and always seek for tobacco, accustomed to come together at time. They are all at the edge of their college’s duration.
In college, their group is always unique. Their behavior attracts all other troops in the same. Some pupils who don’t like this would strangle them by saying the matters wrong way up to the Professors.
Their uniqueness is understood at the time of examinations. They themselves sit and read from what they understood when others read with girl students. Pass or fail they had a habit of independent reading. They are not just like other friends as each one of them is well known by their parents.
In this course, there was betrothal of Shan’s sister. Everyone attended and was invited by his father without the invitation as he considered everyone as the part of his family. His father ordered them to arrive before two days of the marriage. With abundant of happiness they start their preparation by packing luggage with enough dress, plunder the good amount of money from parent etc. Especially Dave took much of the same which was not really in need of and slept.
On the day of marriage, the entire guests were mesmerized by their enjoyment. They captured some photos and had a great chat with each and every guest. Saka and Savan got much sweat and tired of doing all such things. They wanted to relax themselves. So they forced Shan furtively to get them hard drinks. They did not want Dave and Nandh to know about this.
At this juncture, to buy some snacks Dave and Nandh planned off the departmental store which was bit far from there. As Saka and Savan refused to go along with them to complete their mission, Dave and Nandh went alone.
They bid a bye and set off. After walking around twenty minutes, they found there were six incessant railway tracks to encounter with. Railway tracks are always accustomed with plants like thorn plants, thrush, bushes etc… Unfortunately Dave hit against a thorn and bent to remove it as it went in deep where as Nandh off to cross. After a few seconds, Nandh crossed the first two tracks and about to reach the third. At the blink of eyes, the third is filled with a train so he was collapsed and tried to bound the track. All of a sudden all the tracks were encountered with trains. Everyone was shocked who stood over there including Dave.
Dave could not even stand. He was stuck with multiple of thoughts which would happen to him after this. He was responsible for this as he promised Nandh’s parent that he would bring him back to the home safely.
Dave got back his life after recognizing that Nandh had stood on the opposite plat form. He started to scold him fervently by addressing Nandh’s whole ancestors since he was in wrath. Nandh was tongue tied. He was not able counter him so he waited for a while until Dave completes. At last Nandh asked Dave why was he scolding him, and said nothing was there to blame. Dave was asked to stop scolding and was requested to collect the scattered dead body. Stunned Dave did not comprehend what he was telling. He turned and found some of the people gather near a vanished body and lost the picture of Nandh on the plat form as it was not Nandh, the spirit of him who spoke with Dave. He was thinking that should have not happened to Nandh. Panicked Dave walked towards the corpse. Suddenly Dave woke up and was distracted from his bad nightmare. He found himself to be fully sweated. He wept for a while and was unable to realize why he had that sort of dream.
Next day, he did not disclose this to anyone. He realized the holiness of friendship because he did not even shed a tear when his beloved grandmother expired but he was sobbing like anything when he had just a bad nightmare about his friend. His hard heart was started to melt. Dave owed himself that he should create more bond and care to his friends.
On the day of marriage, all of them went and rejoiced every moment. Dave found nothing what he witnessed in his dream. He went for a meal with a great smile and relaxing sigh.
