[ Ringing...]
" Hello!" " Egberd! Are you still alive?" " What?" " No, I thought you are dead. Do you have any idea that today is your dad's birthday?" " Oh! Shit! I just ..." " Yeah, you forgot. Stay in your office forever. Don't use phone." " Hey, hey! Mom, I am sorry. Okay! I will try to come home tonight, no no, no try. I will." " You have to. He is very angry." " Eh! This old man never gets tired of getting angry. How come you still with him?" " I also think that which unlucky girl be your wife?" [ call disconnected]
( Laugh) She cut the call first again. Like husband like wife. Maybe I just got bad DNA.
( Realising the time) Oh no! I have to work. Today Roy won't come too.( Sigh..)
Wait..! Did I ...I just thought for a day off? What just happened? I must be gone crazy because of last night. (Blushing)
...[ Closing the door]
"Maybe space is silent but I don't think so that this silent space of universe with a giant supernova I can enjoy peace. Just let this noisy world's surface absorb silence. At least when I will sit beside a window in that Luna night, a nyctophile will come, sing a song, stars will show up cause it's not a day, it's night, dark silent night. Who can watch moon on moon? Nyctophile watches moon on earth. Maybe this will be my peace, peace after a war. Dark night scares me too. You said that you find it's scary because aliens come at night when no sounds are created. True! Logical! Aliens like silence. But trust me, when night starts, silent sounds take rule and I guess with that power of hearing, aliens will run away. Haha... That's why people say that dark night is scary. Everyone sees dark night as heartless but to me it's just a pain. It cries when it starts to come out. Did you thought dark night laughs loudly cause it can be rule now? No! It starts laughing when it starts to hear birds singing and it's vanishing. It is in pain but at least no one will scare. Space is now not in my choice. I will just stay as nyctophile to just embrace this dark night." [ Everyone is silent]
... ( Few minutes later)
" Wow, Lina. You are asked to write a short essay with the subject ' space and universe'. But you wrote something that's look more like a essay about dark night. Don't you need marks?" " Umm.. Miss, I thought I should write my own literacy to just pass today's exam ( awkward big smile)" "( confused )Okay, okay, Even thought you didn't break rules but how much you took time to finish this?" [ She didn't study last night ( someone from back sits)]
" Woh! Someone made it clear. What was you doing yesterday, Lina?" " Umm..um.. Dancing! ( With another awkward big smile)" " Phew! I want to fail you so badly. But you did write good. Go, sit. So next one come."
" ( whispered) wowwah! Lina, You prove again. You use brain only to survive." " Hehe, that's me ( proudly)"
[ Bell]
" Sasi! I told you many times already. Change this people who works lazily. They just use excuses and take vacations."
" As if you approved any ( silently)"
" Did you say anything, Sasi?" " No, sir. Please continue. " " What continue! Go and fix this documents. You all know how important they are! Still make mistakes like they can fix anytime...( Ringing) Go now!" [ closed door]
" Egberd! Are you still in office? Go buy some chocolate cakes. Don't tell me you forgot what is today?" " Roy! Didn't you take vacation? Why you are still lacturing me?" " I am in vacation so now I am you best friend Roy. Come fast. Oh! Another thing give everyone off."
" Why?"
" Should I call Miss.Ubadha?" " Huh! Okay okay." ( call end)
What a nagger! That's why I don't give him vacation. ( Opening the door)
[ Everyone serious]
" Um... Sasi and everyone, the documents need to ( whispering - again come to scold us ) fix, do it tomorrow after lunch. Till then everyone can go home."
[ Okay, sir ( everyone) ]
" Oh! Did sir said day off?" - Sasi.
" Y..yes. I heard something like that too."- Tay. [ Wowhh! ( Everyone)]
( Smirk on Egbert face)
[ Door opened]
