That Sleepless Night- A Short Story..!!



There was something unusual about that night. That night longed more than the usual nights. After all, that night made him an insomniac. He was unable to sleep,“sleeping” which was the thing he always self-proclaimed to be the best at..!!  He changed sides just to check if they were a problem, logged into his face book account to see the girls he, otherwise, enjoyed stalking, listened to his favourite playlist which normally played anesthesia, started reading the novel he had borrowed from his friend, but all hell. He left no bit in trying things from no-thing to some-thing to every-thing.
 Yet he was wake, all awake. He was actually standing in an absolute silence just to get connected to his conscience. A meek voice was coming to his ears but inaudible. These blur voices made him more restless.Frustrated, he decided to wait, to wait for the sleep. However, tears rolling down his cheek and the continuous yawns came no late. Neither did he waste any second in realising that he was “Sleepy”now. Delighted, he was..!! For, the mission of the night was achieved. He checked his cell to exclaim”HHiiiit...!!!Heck!!!..What Wrap..!!”
It was his waking time..!!
He knew he had to dress himself up. He rather did it in no time.Having checked his bag packs, he started moving out of his house,  to move to the place he had long been waiting for. Balancing the two bags on both his shoulders, trying to maintain the pace of the trolley and his injured leg, he had started moving.
All this while, he was seen smiling. He was actually moving to the beats of the song he had been listening, and kept walking. He was stopped and waved by many a people who saw him ,however, nobody got any responses.  He was seen walking on the road, preferably,called, The Infinity Road, by his friends, for, it seemed a never-ending road.
His friend, Aniket, who wakes up every early morning for jogging saw him disappear on that ‘’Infinity road..!!‘ And all this while, this gentle man, kept on moving. He had moved past the bus stand, he was intended to go, all lost in his own world. It was only the cranky horn of a bus which made him coming back to his senses again.  Got into the right bus, having ear phones plugged into his ears, he had closed his eyes and sneaked into sleep while still wondering and lingering on what made him sleepless the last night..??  That smile on his face, that the bus conductor wanted to capture in his cell phone..!!  The innocence of his tiring sleep, the carefree and the composure on his face spoke a lot. The feeling of contentment was free-flowing and genteel, withheld an insouciant look of the gentleman, and had a docile smell in the air as if saying to everybody, "You can't know it until you live it"..!! 

Love,
Utk..!!
