Story 7

The house was in a real mess. There were beer bottles everywhere. Scattered newspapers here and there along with cigarette stubs added to the mess. Stench from the sink full of unwashed dishes was unbearable. Anyone with a basic sense of hygiene would have been rendered unconscious at the very site of it.

On the dining table, few packets of chips along with some half eaten cakes lay scattered.  A minute observation will lead to a half eaten, rotten pomegranate lying at the corner of the table which by now has been swarmed by an army of ants. 

The bedroom had an eerie feeling about it. There was a peculiar smell about the place. As a packet of cigarettes lay on the floor the laptop on the bed gave it's final warning of shutting down courtesy a dying battery. As the brightness of the screen gradually diminished with every minute, the writing became bleaker "Family Incest - XXX Porn". A bundle of tissue paper tossed on the floor suggested that the viewing was worth it.

A huge container of glue lay open at the dining room. A packet around the mouth of it suggested that someone loved the high which the smell of the glue provided. The television was on mute with Sunny Leone gyrating to the Baby Doll number. On the floor pillows were scattered here and there and a half lit cigarette was left on the ashtray.

Finally a huge fart broke the silence. Manish came and sat down on the floor which was followed huge burp. He opened the mosquito repellent and started applying it all over his body. These bloody mosquitoes were not letting him sit in peace. Suddenly the phone rang, " I have reached home. The traffic was terrible here. Thankfully Baba came with his car." "The traffic was never good at your place. Now you have reached home, relax and enjoy" replied Manish. "You are in office ?" asked his wife. "Yes. Listen will get back to you later. Boss is calling me now. Bye." Hanging up he increased the volume of his television. They were showing a repeat telecast of the swimsuit model hunt. Manish smiled to himself. 20 years of marriage and this was the first time he applied for a long leave. Just to be with himself.
