BEAUTY IN THE DARKNESS

When you read or hear the word 'space' , you might think of darkness. Infinite, empty and dark.  But there dwells life and death. There dwells the creation and devastation. With our scientific advancements , we came to know about the big bang and the creations. Our ancestors too had known about creations but with different perspectives. Our modern thinking might contrast with their beliefs. But we all are in the same boat. 

We are still learning how to sail across the space. 

We hope that may be somewhere out there, another boat is there with people like us. Maybe some sailed and reached at the end of it, waiting for us. 

The heavenly bodies are sailing across the space too.  In the darkness is the most beautiful. 

So, when you hear or read the word 'space'  next time , think about its beauty too. 

Don't ask me ( THE END CHAPTER)

"You lied", I said her in furious voice, "You set the accident, you made it according to your plan"

She was smirking and walking near a table. She picked up the knife and an apple. She was cutting it and telling me that his side is a lie which I must not believe. 

"Don't let your emotion fool you", she was saying as if she felt sorry for me.

" I arranged everything and soon they will be here for undertaking the wealth." 

She banged the knife on the table and came furiously towards me and started choking me to death. She then came back to sense and said sorry for being rude. 

"Look, I did it. But you have to understand. I wanted so many things but what he wished for? A child? I can't compromise for it. I also have my own dream"

She again took the knife and came towards me. 

I tried to save myself and caught her hands off from my skin. In a furious fight she fell off and unfortunately she ended up killing herself. 

The police officer listened everything and took evidence Ariana recorded of her confession and how she tried to kill Ariana. 

In the note it was written to contact the orphanage and police. The only way to expose truth was to make her confess. Unfortunately her rage killed her. 

Ariana took a deep breath out of police station and returned to her world. After all life must go on. 

In rush, in peace she started her life journey. 

THE OTHER SIDE

Few days later at work. 

One of my collegue came towards me while I was having lunch with others. 

"Guess what? " , she said with a tone of excitement to share. 

"Well, You got promoted? "

"No, my beloved sent me a surpise package and I am going to open here. "

"That's great", we all were excited too. 

When her hands reached to the package she kept on the table she said, " You'll never knew what is inside untill you open it"

Something hit on my mind and words came out 

"That's right, I need to open to know. " 

Everybody were too busy to look her gifts of make up items and I fell back on chair. 

As if I forgot to look on the other side. 

I must know the other side. 

After reaching home, I took out the package he gave me. 

There were some documents for transfer of wealth to orphanage. Will papers stuff, a note where an email id was mentioned. 

After reading the note, I logged in to e-mail id and went to draft folder. There was an audio message. I played. 

" Ariana", I stopped it. 

The voice made my body lifeless. 

I wanted to get in the audio and talk to him and see him. I wanted to know if he is alive there. I thought so many impossible things like if he is inside the audio and may come out at any moment if I click play button. 

Coming back to senses, I played it.

"... make sure to delet this message and log out forever. 

First you need to follow the instructions on a note. 

Second.", there was a pause. 

" Ariana, I failed in life. No one will believe me. A woman no matter what is always a victim untill proved guilty. A man is guilty untill proved innocent. She and I wanted a happy life. I want to live. She led me to take this decision and here I am no job, ruined. I don't know if you'll understand or not. She never wanted in 'our way'.  She threatens me. She just want in 'her way'.  I tried to make her know things will not go well because of her such attitude. She is pregnant. The day you'll listen this audio, it will be too late. She will abort.  Her quench for thirst in 'her way' is going too far. When she found about orphanage donation , she threatened to kill our child. Will anyone believe me? Neither I can see my child get killed infront of my own eyes nor I want to give him a toxic life. You are my only hope to do it. I can trust you only. "

"Whom are you talking to? "

"Nothing"

"Lies, I hate lies. ", her evil voice shook my mind. 

"Leave me alone"

"Honey, I need to remind you about a child inside me. " , her voice is enough to make me think she was smirking that she caught him. Before I could listen, the audio ended there. 

I was staring on the wall in shock and confusions.

What to believe? 

A dead man telling lies.
