Angel's Revenge And Devil's Love
A long walk
Astro
Kale, I don't see much people around here. So, we will take rest for sometime and will leave as soon as possible so that we can reach the hotel back before it gets dark.
Astro
Kale, don't run. You will get slipped. Also stay within the eye sight.
Astro
What you said? Am I an old man?
Kale
Yes old man. You are giving advice and not enjoying or exploring this place. See, there is not much crowd here. So enjoy and explore this place, old man. Life gives us only one chance. Use it to the fullest.
Astro
You are right. Be safe, I will sit here.
(Kale throws a ball of snow at Astro)
Kale
Hey old man, stand up. Let's walk. We will walk some more distance towards the mountain.
Astro
Are you sure? It is getting late, we need to get out of this place before they close the tourist exit path.
Kale
Don't worry. We can leave before the close time.
Astro
Okay. Wait, I will come.
(Kale and Astro walks towards the snow mountain)
Astro
Tell me how was the day so far?
Kale
Better than what I expected. I enjoyed the rainfall like anything.
Kale
As people say, unplanned things always give better output. Starting from yesterday evening, things are happening without any plan and gives so many surprises. How about you?
Astro
I too feel the same. This place is doing something to my senses, which I am not able to express in words. The silence, the chillness, drizzle, the long ride and now this long walk. I feel like things are slowing down in my brain...
Kale
Stop it. Stop it.....
By mistake I asked you. Why are you always exaggerating things? Why can't you keep it simple. Don't mistake me, just curious to know.
Astro
Let me do one thing. Plug your earphones. Close your eyes. Listen to what I play. Don't open your eyes until I say.
Kale
Lol. Okay. But you are yet to answer my question.
Astro
I will. But wait for sometime.
(Astro plays the audio and kale listens to it. Astro stops it after 8 min which had pre recorded sound of rainfall with thunder)
Astro
Open your eyes now. Tell me, what you heard?
Kale
I felt the thunder and rain. It started heavily and slowed down after a few minutes. Then I felt it's droplets hitting the surface. I kind of felt as if I was there.
Astro
Why wasn't it just rainfall now?
Kale
I didn't get your question.
Astro
I asked what you heard but you replied what you felt. So there is a difference in hearing and feeling it. Hope you have the answer for the question you asked me sometime back.
Astro
When you closed your eyes, you were able to focus on what you heard. You were able to feel it, even a minute thing. Things which you are able to feel when you focus and close your eyes are the things I feel without closing my eyes and focusing on it.
Astro
I am trying to feel things happening around me rather than just watching and listening.
Kale
It was a nice old man. Those few minutes, I forgot everything. I felt like I was standing in a place and it was raining...
Kale
Gosh, see I am talking like you.
Kale
I will try this again after sometime.
Astro
Sure. Can we turn back? It's getting late.
Kale
Yes sure. We will walk for 10 more minutes and we can stop over there.
Astro
Okay. We have to leave this place before it gets dark. Keep that in mind.
(Kale and Astro continue to walk)
Kale
Why are your eyes red most of the time?
Astro
I don't know. People ask if I consume alcohol and that's why my eyes are red. I never did that but still wondering why it is getting red.
Kale
(laughs) Why do you always put on your goggles while capturing pictures?
Astro
If you feel too cold, I have an additional woollen cloth in my bag. You can use it.
Kale
It's okay. I just want to feel this chillness.
Astro
But make sure you don't get frozen.
Kale
Lol. I won't. You are yet to answer my question completely.
Astro
Girl, you are still on it.
Astro
The real reason is, I don't want, "what my eyes express" to be captured.
Kale
Again, you are confusing me.
Astro
I will explain later.
Astro
Let me ask you a few questions now.
Astro
Who is the person you like the most?
Astro
Everyone likes their mom. I know. Is there anything extra special about her?
Kale
So many things. She got married at a young age. She has to discontinue her higher studies. I kind of feel jealousy of girls in this generation, including myself. I am 26, I studied till my wish, I have a job, I travel with friends. All have their own problems but still we are able to do something for us. But my mom, I was born when she was 21. She literally had anything for her except living for me. I just can't imagine how a person at a very young age can sacrifice everything they wish for. I can't even be 10 percent of what she is. You know what, I didn't talk to her for a week. We had an argument over something and I didn't talk to her after that. Even yesterday, she asked me something and I didn't even respond to her.
Astro
See here, it happens for everyone. We all make mistakes. The moment you realize it, it will be forgiven. The way you said about your mother, shows how much you love her. Finally the tears from your eyes proved it. Take the tissue and wipe your tears.
Kale
I said, I am not crying.
Astro
Okay. okay. You are sweating and not crying. Just wipe it.
Kale
Okay. Give me the tissue.
Kale
Why are you laughing idiot?
Astro
In this extremely cold climate, you are the only person in this galaxy to say it is sweating.
Astro
You are again sweating, Kale.
Kale
Go idiot, I am not able to come out of it. I couldn't control my emotions for my mother.
Astro
Just look at the sky.
Kale
Idiot, what will be there in the sky. It is full of stars.
Astro
Will you be able to see it in day time?
Kale
No. How can we see stars in day time. It won't be there.
Astro
You are wrong. Stars are always there but it is not visible to us in day time.
Kale
Okay, what you are trying to say now?
Astro
Love for your mother is similar to these stars. It is always there in you. At times, you won't be able to express or feel it but it is always there in you. So, don't feel.
(Astro and Kale continue walking)
