Part 14- How it's all started

He came to knew that something is up with him.

And he was lost,
don't know where he should go.

He was thinking about everything, every dream, every nightmare...

With whom should I share? What if I tell someone and he gonna take advantage.

Then a therapist came into his mind.

He started walking towards him.

On the way to reach at therapist.

Therapist was thinking about Mike case.
He advised to Mike's Dad to stay with him and don't let him alone, but that didn't turn out well.
Mike ended up in hospital and then back alone.

Therapist was thinking what's next?

Later, Mike showed up.

The therapist get surprised...

He told Mike to sit.

Therapist: How are you feeling now?

MIKE: exhausted.

Therapist gave him a glass of water

Mike drinks fast...

MIKE: I didn't know where to go, but then I remember you.

Therapist: well then, there must be a reason.

MIKE: I'm ready to talk about everything.

Therapist: that's great, though. Let's start with what happened to you in a room, and then you end up in hospital?

MIKE: I didn't remember any of it, but when I woke up. My head was quite heavy.

Therapist: Ok. So, what's going in your head?

MIKE: Lately, I've been seen dreams and nightmares. I couldn't figure it out which moment I'm living and in which I'm dreaming.

Therapist: What you do all day? Everybody's has one typical kind of routine. What's yours?

What you follow?

MIKE: I wake up around 8-9 p.m with a scary dream, I took a shower, then I eat something, anything... Sporadically, I go for a walk, and then I start watching web-series till the morning. And then next day it's same, I wake up at 9 p.m.

Therapist: Oh, I see, that's why there are dark circles around your eyes. And what about your friends, don't they make plans in the morning or evening?

MIKE: I was avoiding them, their texts and calls. I wanted to stay alone.

Therapist: Ok. What did you recently watch?

MIKE: "A River Of Lie".

Therapist: Hmm...so since when you started watching all this...web shows?

MIKE: yes! I'm remembering something, It's coming into my head. In early days, I wasn't into this, I'd stick to my plans.

Therapist: which was?

MIKE: to become the best football player.

MIKE: It's all started like...

I was playing in my room, hitting up the ball on the floor, on the wall.
My room has become messy, I wanted it to be a small playground. Where I can play anytime.
I preferred my room to be empty, bought no expensive things or any luxurious.

There's a reason behind it, If I'd keep such things, it might get broke in a week.
Cause when I play, I play wild and of course football is a violent sport.
Also, I'd put wallpapers on the wall, just to hide some cracks. And eventually that too got defected.
Lights stop working after a month.

That's all about my private life.

I was playing in my room, hitting ball on the floor, on the wall.
While hitting the ball, I came out of my room, my phone was ringing, I don't keep my phone with me, that's really a distraction.
I saw, it was CIRI. I was counting on my hitting like 457, 458, 459, 460 times, and then I stopped at 500.

Picked up the phone...

CIRI: What you were doing, Mike? I've been calling you since morning...

MIKE: Oh! I didn't hear the ring... I was inside in my room.

CIRI: Why don't you keep your phone with you? Well...let's plan Na'... It's been a while, we didn't live anywhere...

MIKE: Yeah, after degree college, we'd forget about our life and putting ourselves into work and work and work.

CIRI: Let's go somewhere and take a break now.

MIKE: Yeah, I think you're right, about break, but I have a match on Sunday. Ciri, How about next week?

CIRI: Mike! Today is a Sunday, and you're talking about next Sunday, Common Mike.

MIKE: Yeah, I know I don't have much more time.

CIRI: Ok, I'm going alone. You're a waste of time.

MIKE: Hahaha. I was kidding.

CIRI: Ahem, Ahem

MIKE: You know, I hate summers.

CIRI: And also you hate rainfall and spring...

MIKE: Laughs

CIRI: What you like then?

MIKE: YOU!
