Those greenish black eyes…

“Hey, What happened?”

“I- I- I Will explain everything later… “

In the very next moment, I was sprinting towards her in that hell of a crowded train.

The next station (and our destination) was near so the passengers were trying to get out of the lobbies to the corridors; I, on the other hand, was doing the exact opposite of that so…

“..HEY, WHat the HEl-”

“..What Is that BOY DOING…?”

“DON”T PUSH ME!”

…It became a mess quite rapidly.

My vision was partially blocked by the hands of the passengers holding the pivoted grab handles but it was like in the midst of all that chaos, a kind of thrill had enveloped me, so I mindlessly kept on pushing my way through.

I was not sure how I felt at that moment because every kind of emotions of mine had been overridden by a single question-

    Could she be…

The train was slowing down gradually, indicating that it was very close to or had already entered the station.  

The passengers were getting more and more furious but LiKe I CaRe…

One final rush...

Let’s GO!

I pushed through the last section of the crowd like a rugby player defending the ball, my bones in this case…

“MOV-!!”

Eh?

There was a sharp pain in my chest and in a moment I was rolling on the floor along with another person…

“WhO ARE THESE IdIOTS!??”

“KICK THEM OUTTA THE TRAIN!”

The train halted, throwing me off my center of gravity and thus resulting in me crashing into the other guy (but it served as a reality check for me…).

After getting elbowed and smacked so many times, my energy was all but drained.

I looked up.

People from all around were staring at me with pissed off faces.

“...What are you into man?”

It was the voice of the unfortunate person who… 

… who was apparently wearing our school uniform.

“I- I’m re-really sorry…”

The boy helped himself up while dusting off his uniform.

The train had reached its destination so most of the passengers had gotten off and some people remained standing for a while encircling us, making us look like complete mindless idiots before leaving.

She was not there anymore… 

All my effort was wasted; There was only one upside to the whole situation- I got to know that she commutes to the same school as me.

But it is no use to get so excited over this because there’s no confirmation of that girl being her…

“... Hello…”

“Hmm?”

“...Okay, so first you throw me off and then space out in front of me while stepping on my goddamn mobile…?”

“...Uhhhh…”

With a blank expression, I slowly lifted my foot..

It seems like when I had crashed into him he was listening to music; The earphones were still plugged in.

“I’m really sorry bhai…” I said apologetically while picking up his mobile

“What were you even doing running like an ox through that crowd? Whatever, most of the train is already empty… Huh!(Sighs) Hurry U-”

“ZiX MusicaX?”

“...”

Song: A Colorless Life

Artist: ZiX MusicaX

“How…?”

My mind was not being able to process what was happening before my eyes.

The first thing I saw when I woke up today was the name ZiX MusicaX and now after nearly 4 hours, the same name appears before me… once again?!

Did anyone curse me and intertwine my fate with that name or something? Like how is it even possible for this to occur?

Everything or better to say anything, which is happening around me from this morning, does not make any sense.

“Are you perhaps planning on stealing my mobile?”

“...Ha? No but who-”

“I don’t know who ZiX MusicaX is, apart from the fact that he makes EDM like many others-”

He snatched the mobile from my hand.

“Electronic Dance Music…”

“Now don’t tell me you don’t know what EDM is…”

“...Ehhhh, Kind of… ?”

“Leave it, You’re a mad person who is beyond help…” 

He replied in a hopeless tone before getting off the train.

At this point the compartment was entirely empty.

I was sitting on the floor of a local train, all beat up and exhausted, in my school uniform.

What more can even happen?

But sitting on the floor like this is a first time experience for sure… 

The view seen everyday by thousands of beggars, or better to say vagabonds, a view you can see only by looking up…

Well, it’s at least better than looking down.

After retrieving my AirPod, which had fallen off from my ear thanks to all that boxing, I got off the train and started walking towards the auto stand. It felt like these last few minutes had taken up my energy equivalent to that of a month .

Everything was very unclear and hazy to me. Moreover, my uniform and hair were a complete mess…

But. All the answers I seek can be obtained from him, yes definitely. He is the one responsible for all of this, maybe indirectly but that does not matter.

As long as I can get my… ans… we-

Wait a minute… 

 Where the heck is Debu?
