The Watchman

City lights started to switch on ,In the dusty sky ,Stars weren't visible ,All the smokes from the vehicles pollutied the air that made sky grey and dull at night ,thought Kumaran of 67 year old ex police man  ,who works as watchman in a apartment as forceful need to curb his hunger. Kumaran thought of the times in village ,stars would have seen easily at night it would be so peaceful to gaze at stars.Now here in this new world everything happens so strange people click pics in phone and say it is stored in cloud ,Kumaran never knew what it meant ,actually world didn't change ,but people changed ,life changed,face of places have changed, pace of change was so high that many find it hard to adjust with change

many was made as laughing  stock as they couldn't get adaptive with change,i am also one among the laughing stock thought kumaran with sigh of pain.

No flatmates talked to each other,everyone seems to be busy,talking face to face  for 5 minutes without checking the updates in smart phone became the most difficult task.

Kumaran  wore his uniform of security and started to work,heavy horns of trucks thrusted through his ears by giving temporary deafness, tight muscles and biceps have started to become saggy one.

Many families stayed in apartments , everyone had busy schedule ,only one among them treated kumaran like a living being, inmates of flat 467,they were very kind,they got him dinner and gifted dress during special occasions.

Kumaran  didnt had a family and all his friends were died and only people he talk and smile was the kid who sellers newpaper and inmates of flat 467,Sneha and Rajesh

Sneha and Rajesh called him "Kumaretta",while others called him old puck,sleepy oldy, security no one asked his name. Kumaran felt alive , and had a joy in his mind to see the happy couple.There adultery among flat mates .Kumaran was the guard of all nasty secrets .467 was a ideal couple, Kumaran never got married and always had the thoughts that if they wanted to cheat why would they even get married and bear the other person with lies and mistrust.

A day when kumaran came to 467 to gave paper he found Sneha in compromising position with  other whom he had never seen in flat,Sneha ran to kumaran and gave a bunch of notes and not to say this to anyone,Kumaran was hardhearted and wept in his room , only people who he thought like a daughter is cheating her husband ,he could never forgive this and ran to Rajesh office,

he was missing there and he was guest room, he blank mind he jumped into guest room,Rajesh was in the  midst of some fetish act,

Hell!! they pretended ,they loved each other and cheated one each other ,Rajesh came with a bundle  of cash and said"please don't say to anyone".Kumaran didn't knew what to do,he went blank,never knew the equation of love and lust,he eyes were blurred and he went on top of apartment,he thought of every moment he spent with them, he lost his tranquility, he walked to edge of the apartment, a fraction of madness he dived to death , to air ,he couldnt bear this ,they were the only people he loved

Sneha and Rajesh saw Kumaran's dead body there was silent sigh of relief in them ,there nasty secrets were buried for ever, Sneha wept on Rajesh's Shoulder and around the dead body cash scattered,people ran to pick the free fallen money

Kumaran blood spreaded through some of the notes ,

 Each notes smelled lust and blood
