One Night with Adiel *

Hello Blooples !

This time I am going to tell you a short story about a boy called Marvin and his one night show with a Genie Adiel. Before beginning let me keep up this warning : To all those who don’t have the habit of reading kids stories, watching cartoons, playing videogames and believing magic & fairies now and then, Please quit this page [’coz the content below is going to be all about that] . For the rest enjoy reading!!

I hope this will be a Good bed time reading material for kids [Adults too if u have such hearts ;-)]. All characters are fictuous and entirely made by me [Please do believe!!]. Point of Narration is Important for any Story and I am going to say this story from Marvin’s point of view, he is my hero, a 17yr old boy who has a sister Sosie and they are living with their mom Vespera , who is a divorcee. Their father Jasper has left Vespera due to some misunderstandings few years back but still living single with Vespera’s memories. They have now moved into a new house in Springfield Town.

The story begins Now :

“Go hell !” was all I could manage to respond to all those street boys teasing me around the lane. I hate to live these days, that’s mainly because of Vespera, She is my mom and gets transferred regularly that by the time I get used to a newer environment and make it suitable to me, I am taken to another. Then I have to adjust myself with the new school, new house and more importantly another gang of boys teasing me all over the place. Its Springfield town we have moved into now.

“Marvin, where are you?”, hmmm….It’s my sister Sosie, I simply love her. She is the only hope for me to live in this lonely world. “Here I am sosie.” “What about the grocery, mom asked you to purchase?” “Yeah! All done sweetie, was late ‘cos of those street boys” “Alright, will make breakfast soon, chill now” “Sure sose!!”. Springfield head office wanted Vespera to come early to office, so she gets herself out of house early before we wake up and Sosie makes breakfast for us daily. She is such a sweet responsible girl, for whom I feel like doing anything!!

After breakfast we were getting ready to aboard our school bus. School was the toughest part and in high priority in the order of me mentioning about the newer environment. People there used to giggle at you, tease you, make fun out of you and would damn sure make you cry the whole day long. It’s used to me, but for sosie, I can go to extent of tearing them apart if anything is wrong to her. Usually the first day of new school has gifted me with blood stains in my shirts [my opponent’s blood!!].

Back home we had a note on couch saying Vespera will be late for dinner and she has it ready for us inside the oven. Sosie never wanted me fight with the school gang in first place and so avoided speaking to me the whole evening. The dinner went in absolute silence with both of us just looking hard at our plates. When both of us completed, I slowly said “Sosie, I am sorry!”, But she did not respond back. I knew everything would be fine tomorrow as I am used to such things. And so we got to the bed.

Sosie always sleeps to left of me and she has the habit of covering herself entirely from head to foot with blankets, making no sound of a person sleeping nearby. I did not feel like sleeping, so took out my newly purchased comics book and started reading it. I don’t remember exactly when I did fall asleep, but it was around 3.00 a.m in the night when I heard that voice “Release me free!! Please”.

It was like a girl’s voice and I precisely knew it wasn’t Sosie’s as she never made a sound at bed time. Anyhow I checked her again and then decided to sleep when I heard the sound again. “Please let me out”. This time the voice appeared so divinely, that I jumped out of my bed. I had an idea to wakeup Sosie but the thought that she will be more tensed than me, made me to explore the sound myself. I waited to hear the voice again to locate it.

For third time the voice came “Please I am here, let me Free!!” . I located it to be from a small cupboard on corner of room, which both Sosie and I never had an idea to open at all, for past 3 days of us in this place. Controlling all my emotions I opened the cupboard, suddenly it was red fumes all over inside it and I heard divine voice again saying, “Thank you master, for letting me free!!” [I was more shocked on hearing somebody calling me master, ‘cos I am a boy declared as fit for nothing by almost anybody who met me].

I decided it was time for me to speak and said “Excuse me, I don’t see anything at all, I hear only sounds” I did not expect to get a reply so quick when it said “Well, I know the reason, all you got to do is SLAP YOURSELF in your left cheek and shout out loud I DO BELIEVE IN GENIE’S”. I stood struck for a moment then realized it was time for me to react and slapped my left cheek and shouted out as it said. The red fumes were all gone and now all I could see is a cute little thing [I am saying it thing, ‘cos I had never seen such a living creature before!]

It was a white balloon like thing and had a translucent body, oval shaped head and neck, pot bellies and arms & legs similar to size of our thumbs. “Who are you?” was all I could ask in such a shock. It replied calmly “Hi Marvin! I am Adiel, a genie of 7th Century, I was locked up here and was destined to be released by you” “Well, I don’t think so, I am a guy declared to be fit for nothing” “Marvin! No person in this world is like so, each human have their own duties to be completed and god fixes their judgment days only on completion of those duties”

“Alright, What do you want me to do?, Be quick Sosie is sleeping” “ Don’t worry, she won’t wake up ! I am going to join my world again today. I thought you humans knew we genies have separate world for us and a genie Government ruling everything”. It was like it wished to tell me its history, so I provoked it to come to the point “So? What?” “I thought before I leave I can grant you three wishes, ask for anything, I can do it for you!”

I could not believe my ears, I never even had dreams that such a fatty balloon thing would appear and grant me wishes. “But still I got to believe you!”I said “Typically human you are Marvin, ok tell me what to do, but that will be your WISH – 1” “Deal! I need all those boys who teased me at lane this morning to be slapped in front of me, now!!” .Before I finished all those seven boys were lined up in kneeled positions at my bedside slapping each other themselves “enough!” I said.

My mind was thinking hard on the most important thing I wanted in this world, all those thousand times I thought I got the same idea and memories of Sosie and I playing happily at our small age with our mom and dad in our home. Vespera never used to work those days as Jaspers income was sufficient for us. I desperately wanted back those days and so I asked “Adiel, I am going to ask you my WISH – 2, but I doubt whether you can do it, ‘cos it involves turning back times”.

“Not to fear! I have powers and already seen your thoughts, you will be granted as such!”. Suddenly the house around me was spinning, it was lights of white everywhere, my room and Sosie all disappeared. I can see me reducing in size too and then it stopped. I was back to my 10 years of age. In my joy I forgot Adiel and started to run wildly all over our old house. Mom and dad were sleeping in their room with Sosie in Between them and house was the same I remembered it last time. I was unable to believe these and started to pinch myself & hit the walls to check if it’s all a reality!!

Only then Adiel came to my mind and I went back to my room, it was still there singing, Floating and dancing as if nothing has occurred. On seeing me it spoke “Master! Time for me to leave, ask me your third wish”. All I wanted in this world was back with me and now it should be my only wish that these have to be permanent and so I asked “Adiel, I have one last wish, I never want to see you hereafter! It should be as if you never existed!! I should forgot all about you, your wishes, my pasts and be just enjoying happily with my parents and Sosie ever after!!!”

Genie bid me Good bye and gestured an affectionate smile before disappearing. Slowly I started losing memories of my 17yr teen life and it doesn’t matter how hard I thought all I could recollect was a white balloon flying high in my room and SSSSSSzzzzz……….. I woke up next morning, it was Sosie’s 8th birthday today and I could see her playing happily with white balloons. I shouted “Happy Birthday Sosie !!”

******** vvvrrrrrooooom……The story ends here and one could say by the way he did not comment on those white balloons , he forgot all about Adiel , his teen age life and was going to live Happily Ever after !!

Did u Enjoy reading this kids stuff Blooples ?? Not much?? Well, I know the reason, all you got to do is SLAP YOURSELF in your left cheek and shout out loud I DO BELIEVE IN GENIE’S !!

Crazy Times *

Boooooom !! Some say starting posts with such terms makes people get interest to read it , so just kicking off traditionally :: however my blog starts hereafter and its going to be about the week of internal exams we had recently [ wonderin’ what the title has got to do with this ?? u will know as u read on !! ] ::

We had a monthfull of happiness in our may vacations and immediately following these were the exams ! The last week of holidays were like early morning dreams; the moment u wake up, u forget it and so we felt during that Monday night when we were to get back to hostels for begin of classes on Tuesday !!

Classes started on Tuesday and there were rumors and talks all over the place that our exams may be cancelled in view of tamil conference to be held in our city. All these talks reminds of proverb “ tell a lie a thousand times, it becomes a truth ”. Its just for our hearts but our mind clearly knows that our college is always scheduled and will never in our wildest dreams cancel our exams !! So, went a week of our return as such with nothing special about it !!

The week before exams are the most craziest times in your college days ! Everybody around you in hostels will be learning something, telling you what are the important topics to be learnt and what to be left out .

Some persons would have turned Nocturnal that week and will be visiting hostels only at late nights for sleep [the rest of the time you can find them buried deep inside books in library !! ]. Luckily the library operates at fixed times and closes at nights or else these persons may even live there the whole week and just come to attend classes !!

If one thinks that atleast he can have fun in class time if not at hostels, then he is wrong there too ! Classes at that week is still worse, it will be like you are entering into some haunted mansion , there would be many absentees [these people take leave thinking that studying one week would make them them pass on top of all—God knows that doesn’t happen in medicine !! ].

As days to exams are decreased, the number of absentees would increase [a perfect example of explaining the term inversely propotional ! ].The most humorous part is when people taking leave to study asks you for proxies when u are attending classes, [ man, how can a class of 30,give proxies for 80 ??], That too in a class were boys are outnumbered, u feel like shouting out loud “OMG !! Why am I being here like this ?? ”

So goes the week on and on and on and whatever u study new that week is like ether (I mean volatile) !! The next day morning you may even have chance to study it again thinking it as a new topic not yet covered by you [ medicine books are examples to high degree volatility things ;-) ] !! Finally, u cross all these crazy times and suddenly unleashed beasts around you and come into the week of exams !

The week of exams are similar to some high budget movies, much hyped but not upto that level. Its all only about the first day of exams and its tensions like the big opening shows for such movies, it fades on progression and exams as usual will be a cakewalk for a good student who is also obedient and sincere [ you rarely find these combos nowadays, so lets generalize it as for constant preparer]{CATEGORY - A}.

For the rest it will be like eppada mudiyum or two down and two more like situations{CATEGORY - B}. As always in college you will mostly be into CATEGORY - B [me being one in it too ! ] and only few exceptionals into CATEGORY - A.

Nature played its role in our exams too . All of a sudden sun feels shy and hides behind clouds and so it was cloudy and blackish skies all over city in that week .In night times even if you are having the heart of Iron man 2 and determined to study late at nights, all you will end up is waking up at morning to find yourself sheltered inside your blankets [only God knows when you slept and how you slept all night !! ].

And so somehow you manage to cross over the week of theory exams and then comes your practical exams, then your sun feels brave again to light up the skies and though you feel like asking it “where were you at my exam time?? ” and punch the yellow bean, all you get is sweating in the heat ! ;-)

The practical’s are all going around with the entire population of 80, split into 4: there comes an announcement saying 22^nd will be a holiday and practical’s are postponed , then we are ready to get back home and enjoy the weeks holidays with family and friends ! Enjoy home sweet home people ! Always !! :-)

Hope u liked the blog…If not , u may be a CATEGORY – A student as I mentioned above, learing all times and not noticing all these funny things around you…’coz , this is a blog by CATEGORY-B Guy…!!
