Engagement

 We all know the power of books. Well i heard that too.

It was a weekend and really it was a Weak end.

I always wanted some fantasies in my life but it never came in. I am lifted up everyday and fall on my bed every night just like a dead man. 

Rosy (my mistress) usually being friendly to me but i never been at ease by life. Life bounce backs is just a quote for me. 

It's a series of continuous starving and failure that took over all my courage and enthusiasm. I am no longer feeling like human too. All my friends grown up and everyone seems changed even i am changed no more fun and excitement about anything in my life. 

It was till one day when i was crossing the street and was looking at the shops and thinking about my life. It's lousy, hectic, awful and lifeless. 

I am left with fake smiles. Work load and weekend travels from my regional office to headquarters which is out of my town it takes around 5 to 7 hours by the train and i just have to give them all the reports and then i return on the same day. 

Haa, its boring life. 

I wanna do something and really want a change but i know its merely just a dream of old man. 

I wanna be old. Yea OLD the idea from which so many people afraid off. 

Atleast i will be able to walk and rest and eat for the sake of it. I never wanted a long life instead i wanna a happy life. Living alone without anyone from years trust me i was not like that but time made me like that.

Again a weekend and i was passing by the street thinking what if my mother was here it might be better i use to talk with her and may get so many well cooked dishes and daily excitement of my life will have some spices but its not possible yet. 

She's a Social worker and is really busy with helping people out well we chat sometimes often in week but still. In that i noticed a new corner is changed around the street and realized that i skipped my street but then On close look i found there is a library and its entrance is so small and appears little dark hidden between two though big buildings that it appears so hidden.

I didn't even remember when was the last time i visited to the library or read something except my office files.

I entered hesitantly and looked towards it and my eyes was stuck on such big book shelves and these many books and books all around. I was lost for a moment and felt like the place is so silent but because of these books there is so much life flowing all around even this low light room that is coming from a window at some about 10 feet above the ground.

It appears that the light is coming from the heaven and making this place alive.

In that a girl wearing beautiful blue dress came down from a wooden stairs in that light and asked me. Do you wanna read a book?

I replied Yes.

Then she started walking and i started moving after her. She said you are looking here and there from a long i think you hardly visit libraries. 

I replied on that i dont get time to read books and visit anywhere i am so busy all the week.

She handed me a book and said i think this is perfect for you. 

On the first look i found myself in confusion but i agreed upon the book. She stamped that book and told me to return this book in 1 week.

I came out of that library and i am holding this book and am smiling at myself i said looking at the book i dont think i will ever be able to read you.

Hmm...

Let's go.
