Mowgli's Adventures--Magical Realism--I

It was a quite warm evening where the birds were either flying away to get their food or flying away after getting their food i.e to their nests. ”Look at these birds, flying freely in the sky. What will the birds think if they saw us humans looking at them? Maybe all of us are just birds. Yes, we all want to fly freely in our mind which is as vast as the sky and use our thoughts-as our wings which often help us to fly” Mowgli thought to himself as he saw a flock of birds rode towards the sunset. He was sitting along the sea, which he considered as his second home. Maybe he considered the turbulence of the waves crashing the shore as the thoughts crashing in his mind and it gave him a nice warm feeling beyond explanation. It was the second time he came here in a shorter span of time and each time he came he would bring some complicated questions and get some answers while many answers were yet to find their questions. 
”I wish I’d take on step into the sea, maybe I will melt right into the waves and maybe all my questions will get answered to”
To know what happened to out beloved Mowgli we’d have to go back to a month or two from today.
There are many small unnoticed things which give us the feeling of satisfaction and orderliness. Remove them and our life would start to appear meaning less. Some things must be left how they are how insignificant they may appear at that moment. The beast which he had troubled them had finally disappeared, maybe for the short span of time. Mowgli felt something was not good and did not even tell to Aphro that he was leaving for a new place. Some other fight had got into the way and he thought she had deserved that though looking back he was ashamed of himself. Nothing would boost him up like a walk and a drink with his Aphro. Having said that he had gotten to work in a company which specialized in moment of goods from one place to another and it had started with an “S”. To pass his time he had to work in a jungle without any expectations in return. But Aphro had gotten very lucky and she had gotten work in a place where they specialized in making cotton dolls, stuffing dolls with cotton to match the user requirement. Something to go with appearance , she had told him. Many times he thought of going to her place and surprising her.As luck would have it , she never liked any surprises. Maybe she was the kind who wanted to keep the safety bed ready incase something was to fall of from the sky, eventhough it was a surprise.It is one of the ways in which people keep their expectations low,he had heard.Things were going fine in between them and as usual he managed to sneak out all his free time and talk to her.She was the only beacon of light in that jungle of his.But it so happened one day that they had gotten into a nasty spat and they stopped talking. Ofcourse, he was not normal. Now he can’t speak on behalf of her, can he ?.Many times he wanted to go to the place where he was working and sort out the issue with her. But he always wanted to make sure that his actions did not hurt her so he didn’t go back.Days passed and it had been exactly one month from today that they had had this quarrel and so he came back to the place where he seeked answers for all questions. He wrote what he thought in a leaf and left it to float along the sea in the hope that maybe if she was also looking for the same,she would know his side of arguments.
“Pouring entire thoughts on her
And making her my future girl
Without asking what she needed”
Luckily he got a reply back from her asking “What is pouring?”
He got very happy and all the thoughts of discomfort had disappeared and he was just as happy as a newborn to get that message from her.
He wanted to see her badly as an addict waiting for his fix or as the words waiting for the alphabets.
He’d ask her that he had to meet her today for which she told that it was impossible and maybe they could meet in a public place tomorrow.
“I have come out with an important person and they’ve come here only to help me” she told him.
"Okey,I'll also come along if you need help I'll give a pound of blood too" he thought.
“Maybe I’d come and surprise them as well” he thought
 “Is there anything else more impossible that us?” he laughed like a mad man and went to have dinner at a favorite hangout of his.But he had thousand questions to ask her even if he won’t get the answers.Maybe give her a nice hug and tight slap or nice slap and a tight hug,whatever.But when he meets her tomorrow morning he’d expect her to answer an simple question,atleast the first one.

“What was the name of the Company in which he was working with,he had told this earlier to her.In a way he thought it was a major contributor to his miseries,Ofcourse no one can beat Aphro,Can they or will he allow them?”
