Chapter 2 - Chapter 1: An unfulfilled dream

"In the hustle bustle of a metropolitan on earth, you can see many wonders one of such are MNC these are the wonderful companies that provide people with employment, wages and corporate life style. But the price they cost you are sometimes are very heavy like in my case it cost me my friends, my family and my dreams.

It's not like I have any prejudice against MNC in fact they are doing what they supposed to do it's only me who failed to do anything significant in my life."

Sigh! a man writing these lines in his diary stands up from his work bench, he puts his hands on his work table felling its texture reminiscing about the time when he first time started working on it, after felling the touch of table he started touching other things in his cabin, sometime he stares the scenery of outside from his window sometimes sits on his chair.

He is acting like an old man reminiscing about his young age remembering old things before death. But that's not the case here from the looks of the man he is about 25 years old at the prime of his life, nor he looks like a patient in his death bed. He has a handsome visage, a healthy athletic body and average amount of muscle.

The only odd thing is his eyes they have a look of someone who lost everything in his life.

After touching everything in his cabin he walks out of it there he found a familiar man someone who can be called his friend, last remaining friend.

He says, "hi Lakshay it's good to see you" he was talking in an informal manner like they were in a meeting.

Lakshay said "Vikanshu are you sure about this think differently my friend life has many more things to do don't lose hope man there will always be people who need you more than yourself, if don't find then make them start a new family a new life. I can introduce you to many girls that can make your life happy again"

Vikanshu didn't take notice of any of his words like he is used to hear them many times after sighing he said "Lakshay this will be the last time I will tell you this, I am someone who can see my good or bad myself you don't have to think about it"

After saying this he just walk out from his office his friend tried to stop him but he refused to stop, only stopping after walking some distance in a busy road he turns back towards his office he stares at it then said "sorry my friend but this is my dream I can't forget it and that I have nothing to bind myself in this city it is more reasonable for me to pursue it"

After saying this he calls a person, soon a car arrives in his side he gently opens the car door and gets inside. After getting inside the driver seems to ask him something but he cuts short him and ask the driver "Rawat ji did you get my things" the driver or Rawat answers him "yes, but Vikanshu I still don't understand why you don't want to go to your house"

He answered him saying that it was not his house anymore he sold it but deep down he knows that he can't face the memories that his house brings he don't want go to that place anymore anything that makes that place his home is gone it is now just a simple building.

After sorting out his items from car's trunk he took out his laptop and an empty bag to carry it then sat again in car.

This time he said "Rawat ji drive the car, I need to get out of this city as soon as possible"

Soon a car can be seen driving away from the bustling city of new Delhi inside it sat Vikanshu uncertain about his future he just focuses on his dream a dream about living in the ranges of Himalayas become a scholar or a saint getting spiritual enlightenment.

It all started when he was a child like every child he learned about his country India, its culture, its geography and many more things but the thing that fascinated him most was story of saints/scholars like Buddha, Mahavir and many more legendary figures that become akin to a good for masses because of the depth of knowledge they have.

He also wanted to become a one but his dream got smashed not by hardships that come in way to get enlightenment no his dream and he both got smashed by a flying slipper thrown by his mom.

After that he did what his parents told him to do he was not an academic prodigy but for their sake he tried everything to get in top three of his school.

He does not like make friends like other children in school maybe its because of his simple nature or introverted behavior.

After school he pursued engineering as he was told by his parents and successfully become an engineer that was the time when problem started he wasn't able to secure a job in college placement as well as in job hunting sites because of the seer amount of engineers in the country but somehow he successfully got a job after developing his programming skills to a next level.

But to make his parents proud he continuously improved himself and become a senior developer in an MNC with a package of 1 million USD per annum.

But it then his life or you could say world took a darker turn, the pandemic arrived and it took very reason of his success his parent's life along with his everything was gone. He don't have anything other to rely on no girlfriend, no close friend and his relatives his didn't remember their names anymore.

Remembering about his life Vikanshu stared out of the window the landscape of city is vanished after what it seems to be a 7 Hour drive now in front of him are the vast mountain ranges of Himalayas and car is now driving in a mountain highway.

Suddenly the car stopped in a roadside restaurant he asks "Rawat ji why did you stopped the car our destination is still some hours away" for which Rawat replied and said "sir we should rest and eat something, I am continuously driving car because of which I am tired"

After hearing this agreed with Rawat and they both get out of the car to eat something.

At the same time up in the mountains a group of teenagers were hiking one of them reached top of the mountain first and rest followed after him reaching the top the group set up a camp. One person from that group stared down in valley below the mountain it was deep admiring the beauty of nature he bends down to pick a rock staring at the below he throws out a stone.

Down in the valley Vikanshu walking towards the restaurant suddenly stops as if felling something unwell he tried to call Rawat but suddenly as if hit by high speed car his mind became blank then comes a sharp pain he feels at his head which vanishes and suddenly everything went blank for him this was the end and a new beginning
