Chapter 2:Courageous needle:❉ʜᴏᴡ ᴀʀᴇ ʏᴏᴜ ᴀɴɪᴋɪ?❉

The next day,

Meherun aka Juri was coming back from school to home, walking from khilgaon to Bashaboo because of getting no rickshaw and her cycle was broken. The little girl's eyes were twinkling, and her heart was burning fiercely without any current explanations. She didn't know what injury inside her heart was that she absorbed...but all the heavy injuries that she endured, felt like a smoke....suffocating her to death. It was almost dawn, she could only see brilliant flashes of colours before her eyes interweaving with each other and making some illusionary structures. The essences of heaven and earth swarmed inside her sour heart like wild ocean waves. Scenes of the past flashed before her eye's.

Juri's POV ➬

I'm studying in a Bangladeshi school. My exam is going on. I'm neither a book- worm, neither a lazy girl. It's just that I'm thirsty for knowledge. Because I wanna be a great speaker one day, I wanna be the ruler of a land and be their queen diligently with one sword in one hand and with a vassal of love on another hand. Bogus dream, right? Because it's not an ancient era, right?

Ufff !! My dumb mind always flatters me with the fantasy but analyzing my today's state, I realize I to be all alone leading a regular life filled with heartbreaking loneliness. Isn't this enough crucial moment for me that I don't have any contact with my Oka san (mother) and Aniki (big brother)? I even don't know how they are. Oka san is living alone in Tokyo, continuing her life teaching at Tokyo University. Aniki had joined the army. He has now gained a prestigious spot, I guess. Actually, these two people are my whole life for now. 'Cause except them, I have none. Oh! I have 3 more addition in life. My 3 besties. Hikaru aka Tanaka Kun, Rey aka Nagajima and the most lonely child Kyosuke. They had made my life joyful after my Oto san's (father's) death. I was in total darkness and a grumpy child back then when he died.

I was only 5 years old. Back then I was too ignorant that I couldn't speak with others. I just cried the whole time in my new school. I spent my age (5-12) with Aniki and my Oka san. Because of the distance, they seemed unfamiliar to me when it was an initial state of his death. But my Aniki's and the most lovely child aka Kyosuke's warmth made me feel gratified. They always had grace into the depth of their heart and they are real gems. My Oka san is also too sweet. But back then she was devastated also because of my father's death. The far I know, I can remember that they had a love marriage and loved each other to death. Even if she was devastated but always had a sweet smile in front of me. She taught me one most significant smooth outline of the life and it is, "Whenever you are sad, don't think much about how you got hurt and awful your life is, just think 'The world is so wonderful'  and try to plaster sweet smiles. In the end, you'll have something to remove your 7 pains of life." Though it's a critical melody that I was unable to get that, at that time, now I always remember the line to think every time that," Yeah, this world is really beautiful...it always soothes my pain..."

( A gush of unique therapeutic fragrance began to scatter suddenly and she realized that to be her sweat. Her head became soaked with cold sweat. Dim yellow light of cars emerged in front of her, Its entirety was a golden yellow, and its splendid light was dazzling. The cracking sound of something hard was slamming her ear continuously. )

Then Juri told herself, "It is about 6 pm!!!!! * accelerating her arms, she yelled to herself * hurry up, Juri san! "

When she was close to Meherun's house, from a little distance, she saw an emerald blue McLaren 720S in front of her house! First of all, it was her fav colour! And then, it was the latest car model!! Even if heaven wanted her to calm down herself, she just couldn't! She hurried to the car and started to observe that from different postures!

"Oh, heaven!"

When she wished to open the door, in her one try it opened!

"Owee, the driver didn't lock the car *tsk*tsk* so careless"

The doors feature was the 80-degree angle of opening and required 155mm less space per side than was needed to fully open the doors of a McLaren 650S.

Aish! New version! New version!

She within a second, without wasting any time, entered the car.

Owwe! The weather inside the car was so chilly! It was cool! She was going to have a heat attack! This godly car saved her!! The car had a jasmine fragrance inside!!

In Full Display Mode, the Folding Driver Display presented the required array of information on an upright, high-definite colour panel, with three different layouts and colour variations depending on whether the car was being driven in Comfort, Sport, R-Track modes.

Aiyaah! At the touch of a button, the display in a second slid down to Slim Day Mode. In that position, only the minimum of the required information was displayed. Furthermore, improved forward visibility and allowed the driver to place the car even more precisely in a corner. This was an ideal condition for drivers who wanted the minimum of distraction.

Abruptly, she saw many people's shadow outside the window beside her. As if they were asking, "Why are you inside? It isn't your car!"

When, she struggled to open the door, "Oh, crap!! The door now isn't opening!!!! My dumbhead!! Uff! How can I not realize the updated locking style! Ahhhh! Now?? What to do? Will the owner take me as a robber? Does my appearance look like a robber? Or like a bandit? Or do I look like a pilferer?? Aish!! What on Earth am I thinking, girl? I'm in school uniform! How can he think of me as a pilferer? If I explain him well, then he'll definitely get it, right?"

She was being desperate to open the door, but the hellish door wasn't opening! Did it hold some grudge against her?

She felt someone had already entered the car before she could listen to any noise. Was he a ghost? Why she didn't hear any sound?? It was a rich man! Indeed the owner was a gentleman! Ahh, he was wearing a heavy men's perfume! What to do now?

"He can't see me, he can't see me!", she murmured while covering her face with both hands.

Seeing her to mumble such a childish sentence, the owner settled his hand on the steering wheel, turned to her with an expression like 'huh?' and said, "I can clearly see you and at the same time, I can hear you."

She uncovered her face, turned to the owner with weird laughter, and said, "Haha_ha. Yeah, you can see me, big brother. I'm wrong. Haha_ha! Brother, I'm telling you, I just wanted to check the car. Cz it's very cool! Very nice! Haha_ha! But I got locked. Haha! Such a modern technology! Haha_ha!So weird! Haha_ha!"

That gentleman also laughed and mimicking her said, "Haha_ha! You are also from the modern world. You are also weird, haha_ha!"

She, believing it to be a sarcasm grinned teeth inside her heart but again weirdly laughed, "Haha_ha. The car is good. Haha_ha."

He again mimicked her, "Haha_ha! Then? What am I going to do with you?"

"Haha,_ brother! I'm leaving. Okay! Goodbye. Take care. Haha_!"

But while leaving she found out, the car was again locked. She hesitatingly looked back to the owner and saw he didn't move even an inch and was in the same posture as before.

Again she weirdly laughed, "Haha_ha"

He again mimicked, "Haha_ "

She asked while weirdly laughing, "Is the car imported?"

He nodded and with a smile retorted, "Hmm, I have got a license, do you wanna see?"

"Haha_ha! It's okay. Haha_ you are great."- then she sat straight, facing the front.

Then he bent his palm towards his head, layed elbow over the steering wheel, poked his corner of the forehead, and asked, "Are you a stupid? Did you forget me?"

She, like a silly goat, raised her chin and uttered the sound, "Uh?"

After a silent shocking moment, she observed him and retorted with a thick tone, "Hahaha! I'm not that stupid! You are my Aniki! Haha!"

"Good, then you recalled. How can I have such a stupid sister like you?", he moved to start the car.

"Ayy! Wait!! Stop! Aren't you a stupid also?? The thing I know is, that only a stupid can recognize another stupid, okay? I even didn't bid goodbye to them, okay? Even if you came to take me home, then it doesn't mean that I have to go right now, okay? There is a thing called courtesy, okay? At first, I have to bid them goodbye professionally, okay? Then the last but not the least sentence! Ay, ay, ay!! I have met you after more than 3 years, okay! Your complex darkened, okay? Your appearance also changed, okay? Then you looked like a deity. Now you look ordinary *frowning her eyebrows she uttered* Ahem_  I mean cool but not like the previous Aniki.

"Are you done with your lecture?"- he frowned.

"Ah, yup!", she noded.

"I've heard, you have forgotten Japanese. Is it true?"-he asked sincerely.

"Absolutely not! Huh! I can communicate in Japanese. Huh! But my tongue doesn't listen to me sometimes, okay?"- she retorted with an attitude.

"Huh! I've never seen such an awkward kid like you in my 26 years!" - he laughed like a sarcasm.

"Eh! What are you saying, huh? It is said, that the one whose attitude is awkward, that person is definitely unique, okay?"- she protested.

"And the one who said that is you, right?"

"Of course not! You can google it! You can search in Quora, okay? You will also find it on Pinterest okay? The recent web relations are too big, okay? You can't find every person whom you want to search, okay?"

"So, now?"- he asked.

"Umm. Now, bye!"*she waved her hand and at the same time shook her head*

"You don't really wanna go home? Don't wanna see our home in this country? Are you sure?"- he asked seriously.

She starred him for a minute and said, "Of course. I wanna say them goodbye personally. This doesn't look good at all. Umm... Is Oka san waiting for me at home?"

He with a gloomy tone replied, "No."

"Then what's the problem? I hope you will be able to explain to her my reason properly, right?"- she asserted calmly.

He, while unlocking the car said, "Of course, it isn't any problem. Cz Okasan isn't here...Bu—

She interrupted, "Then? It's getting late! I'm going to this home now. Bye"_ she went out of the car. But it was not really appreciatable to Kiyo as he hadn't finished his words.

The colour of the sky was then ashy grey. It was almost dusk. The door of the car remained widely open. Kiyo didn't lock the car. With a gloomy face, was staring at the opened door. The street turned crowded with kids from the nearby slum seeing that car. But he just didn't care as if a scattering knife-like-smoke had stabbed him. Then he just gave a smile that had many hidden emotions. He closed the door. And left for home. Darkness filled all over the world till the place to his eyesight. Every shop, every building switched on their lights one by one as if they had been welcoming him by litted candles.

꧁"As the restless journey returning home began,

the broken moon condensed in the sky.

The footprints that passed my eyes,

were illuminated by that extravagantly white moonlight.

Gradually, you took a step into great tragedy,

yet your smile remained diversity innocent.

In the past,

in the countryside,

with the butterfly under the moon,

I remember that you peered at me

with the most pleasant smile in your eyes."꧂
