Dysania and Insomnia

She picked up a string of bright orange flowers orphaned in a lonely mantap. Her eyes scanned the area in search of her expensive earring. Lord of chaos had reigned that day when the groom and his wedding party walked out on her sister wedding. Nightmare had become a reality.

The party was mythomane of Shyam's ego and Anjali's potentate on Arnav. The shadows welcomed Arnav deep into its womb and soothed his bubbling irritation in its quiet embrace. He took a lingering sip of whiskey and wondered if this shadow was slowly becoming an anthropomorphization of his dead mother.

13. Custodians of morality

They travel in two fully loaded SUVs; Arnav and Akash drove each. The sisters parted by taking different vehicle. They saw few survivors on their way. Neither vehicle stopped when people on the street waved or screamed.

"Why didn't you stop?" Khushi yelled, wide eyed.

Arnav clenched his jaw. "How do you know they won't take away our cars and supplies and leave us stranded?"

"How do you know they would?" Khushi challenged.

Arnav accelerated faster, leaving the city in its agony and whispered softly. "Because I would do that to them if it means saving us." He chuckled mirthlessly.

14. On the road

"My sister, Anjali, was gone one morning. I searched as much as I could but..." Khushi nods. "Akash, my cousin, came in few days later." He adds.

"Payal likes him." She makes an observation.

"He is likable." He doesn't say anything further. "Easy on the pedal," he guides her while she drives for the very first time in her life.

The cut on his forehead and sprain in his shoulder was from a fight with two men guarding a petrol bunk. They were unwilling to share. Arnav didn't care.

They have been on the road for nine days now.
