RELAX!!

RELAX!!

Nikil was highly frustrated. He did not know how to handle these things. Just then Ravi came in, and asked why he looked dull? Well, What to say? My onsite coordinator just blasted me in the phone. New Requirement change need to be implemented within two days. I am working on it but still not able to come out successfully. I am not able to fix where I am missing it. After so much hours of slog and effort still I need to get those blasting!! What is this job and life? I am highly de motivated said Nikil. Hey, come on Nikil its all in the game. Relax yourself. Relax!! I had forgot the meaning of that word. What is this life? always the same mechanical work and no thrill or experience? I miss those college days. Evergreen they are!! Ravi smiled at Nikil and asked him to sleep and not to strain himself and left. But Nikil was still thinking.

He came back to senses only when his cell phone rang. He saw the number in his mobile. It was new to him. He took the phone . Hello, Is it Nikil? asked the voice at other end. Yes , speaking! may I know who is speaking? replied Nikil. The voice was hesitant for a moment and then told Mr. Nikil can I meet you today ? Nikil was curious to know who was talking and asked again may I know who is this? Yes, you can know me if you come to hotel Blue Moon at 6.00 PM today. Hello,Hello !! who are you? engaged tone was heard at other end. Nikil had no idea as who called him!! He was not sure whether to go to the place mentioned or it was just a fake call. He was engrossed in his thoughts and soon he slept off.

5.45 PM. Nikil entered Hotel Blue Moon. He turned around to see if anyone was watching him. He went and sat in the table which was in the right corner. He ordered for coffee. He was restless and saw the time . It was 5.59 PM. Waiter came with the coffee. When he took the cup for a sip he could see the note ,'Mr. Nikil come to Gandhi Park behind Hotel Blue Moon at 6.30 PM' . He called the Waiter but the waiter vanished from there. He had no idea what was happening around him. He was now shivering and had a thought whether to leave the place immediately or to call Police and inform about this!! Just then the cell phone rang!! Mr. Nikil , If you try to act smart by going to Police then I warn you , you have to meet the consequences!! Nikil was blank.

He entered Gandhi park. It was getting dark. It was now 7.00PM and the closing time of the park was nearing. He was about to leave when he heard a Voice… Mr. Nikil. Nikil was about to turn around but before he could the voice with the pistol at his back and asked him to move to the car that was parked outside. Nikil could not do anything. He entrered the car and once he entered a black cloth was tied around his eyes. Everything became dark to him. He did not know how long he had travelled. The car stopped and he was pulled out of the car and made to walk with the cloth still tied around his eyes. He was able to hear some whispering voices .

He was made to walk a steep area. He stumbled and somehow managed to reach the destination. Welcome Mr. Nikil! Welcome to our place!. Voice sounded familiar to Nikil but he was not able to recognize immediately. He was made to sit on a chair and the chair started rotating . It was slow in the beginning but later it started to rotate faster and faster. Nikil could not bear it. He felt dizzy. Slowly the rotation of the chair slowed down and the cloth tied round his eyes was removed. He slowly opened his eyes. He was not able to see anything around him in the beginning. It was full of darkness. Slowly he could see the candle lights. Later the burst of Balloons!!

Nikil could not understand, what was happening around him? Suddenly he heard the voice, Happy Birthday Nikil… He turned around to see his Friend Ravi there. His words failed him and he was just staring when all his three friends Rajesh, Saravanan and Ezhil coming close to him singing Happy Birth day. Nikil shouted what’s all this?? Ravi came near him , hey cool down Buddy!! You complained regarding your work and was always full of stress . We just plotted plan to celebrate your birthday in this way so that you would be bit relaxed. You also said, that you needed thrill and experience right? asked Ravi with smile. Hope now your relaxed. Relaxed!! Hey you four made my blood to freeze!! Now you have to face the consequences. Saying these words, he started chasing all the four around that place and soon laughter filled the air!!
