I know the answer now, the date with them r either inevitable or u never meet them.
Anyways, I had one yesterday. A comical one. Though being honest, in spite of what I write in my further statements, I was really scared as hell initially.
I guess it was 0100 hrs today(I remember the time because I did have a look at watch after my victory and I guess it did take me 30 minutes to overpower the bat).
I was talking to one of the juniors in my college(still confused about adding the word past to it) on phone, doing the most easiest thing in the world and the thing in which every senior of Kharagpur gains perfection the moment he becomes one, giving fundas. I was in the room which is used just to keep clothes and getting ready for the office in the morning. Otherwise, the room has been rented to the cockroaches to live, sleep and roam about happily on 5 inches thick mattresses and our luggage. Even the attached bathroom is utilised to full extent by them. I think they had called one of their elder n bigger mates yesterday to stay up and enjoy for the night. My roommate,Golu, though one of the rare sweethearts I have ever seen for quite sometime now, had a different plan to be the joker for the movie and ruin their party.
He took a full round of the room, the motive of which am yet to know, and left something which came along but couldn't leave and kept circling over my head. I had to bow down in its respect quite often to pay my respect and not to hurt it in its flight. I suddenly realised to be the unwanted in the party of my tenants, their guest and hence left the room, closing the door behind me on request of Golu, who didn't want to get disturbed in his sleep by their party songs. But the moment I kept the phone, he had a complete different perspective. I guess he had a chat with the relatives of our tenants roaming about near our sleeping place. He termed the guest, which now I did know was not actually so, as intruder, a beast and hence wanted me to free our dear tenants by getting rid of it. I had no option.
I opened the room again with a broom in my hand though thinking that I'll show Golu the party our dear people were having and then go back to have a nice sleep. But inside the view was different. Though, the beast was not to seen anywhere but neither could I see my tenants. I was very sad to see my tenants in such fear. So, after searching thoroughly and being completely assured that the giant had left the room, which was not open from any side except for the little hole to pass through which the guest needed to have great perfection, went ahead to fondle the residents and heal the injured ones, if any.
As I lifted just one of them, the guest reappeared from nowhere leaving me and Golu on the back foot. I, with the broom in my hand, and Golu, with a chair, which he explained was for the rare chance if I missed the beast with my broom, took sometime on the door to regain our confidence and let the beast settle. It chose the window grill to sit on, which would have been a very good place for it to leave had the panes would be broken. I, due to the immense love in my heart for my tenants and the sense of insecurity in the eyes of Golu for them, gained courage to move forward and open the windows and was successful in doing so after two or three attempts with me being in the wing range of the giant. The beast did fly just after when the window flew open but to the opposite side. Again the waiting game began for us. We waited in the hope that the blind guest somehow remembers the place it did take the seat last time and in the process sees the open window and goes through. But we weren't to be that lucky. The guest did occupy a seat a rather comfortable for itself in the uppermost corner of the room, diagonally opposite to us as if having a very good look to us through it blinded eyes. This was when I remembered the throwing events of athletics, which I never tried to participate in earlier but was eager to learn and experiment my new passion. I just needed something to throw.
With much difficulty, I did find a toothpaste paper cover as an option. I tried all the javelin skills I had seen people using with a bit of shooting talent, which I had used earlier to throw things out of the window without hitting the grill. The hit ratio was much more than expectation being 1 out of every 5 or 6 or I guess even more. Later I felt like playing catch-catch with 2 exceptions. One being the absence of ball and other being the absence other player(wall was doing fine). Anyway, I realised after sometime that I did need a harder thing to hit which would make the giant flat in one go. And then I used the broom, the one that resembled the javelin more accurately and with which the hit ratio decreased considerably. My javelin did hit the beast on 2 or 3 occasion but didn't have any effect on its position. It did just shag its shoulders on a occasion but never did fly again. It was then I gained courage to go a bit nearer and hit it with the bat(wiper) which in my opinion would make it go to pieces in one go. Rather it made it produce just a secret language code, which had just 1 meaning for me that it was still alive. However, I reassembled myself, hit it twice and went forward to carry the last ceremony according to me but after making it fall did realise it to be alive still. It was then that the devil inside me called out to remind me of the troubles caused to my dear tenants by it and I hit it for tens of times calling out many
I might have called my dear guest to be a giant or a beast and might have made you all feel that it was a vampire but for me it was a very dear guest because of the temptation it gave me even after its death. In that temptation, I cleaned my whole house at 0145 hrs which would never have been possible. I do am sad about the fear in the minds of my tenants but that can be dealt with.
