As I walked on the dusty roads filled with wilted leaves enveloped in the silhouette of poignant autumn, I am painted in the scattering rays of golden aureate. As the strings weave me into the beautiful arras of the nature.........

Knock! Knock!

The wooden sound interrupted the concentration of the room.

The boy turned looking towards the door his contour painted by the delicate white light which illuminates the posh interior of the extravagant room.

The room painted in cream as the walls wears the borders. Window sits beside the king side bed partially hidden behind the curtains exhibiting the allure of the night as it's painted in the silvery tint. A methodical study table dominates the the opposite of the room which is orderly organised, just like the rest of the strict room. A big piano is the only addition of luxury apartments from the aesthetic couch .The door flaunts the carvings of a beau design complementing the the simple yet elegant room.

As a tall fair skinned boy , silky golden hair with deep azurian eyes turns around from the book he was reading and looking towards the door. His contour more elaborated by the room light, his elegant postures Illume as he enhances the beauty of the room.

"It's open. Come on in." he said in a soft voice.

"Hey Aden! what are you doing alone in your room. Come on let's go somewhere." said the other boy who was about as lean as Aden fair skinned, golden haired with deep brown eyes.

He was about the same age as Aden. His voice too had this gentle touch.

"No Raymond. Not today. I don't feel like going anywhere today."

"You are sounding quite sulky .So have you already heard it from Mr. Arnold about it."

" Ya he stopped by earlier to tell me to pack

my stuff."

"Apparantly dad has some work in that country. So you have to accompany him."

"What do you mean by 'you'. Aren't you going Raymond."

"Wish I didn't . But since you are going I have to go too. Otherwise who will take care of my little brother. See how much your older brother likes you that he is breaking the hearts of all the beautiful girls out there only to accompany you." he said teasingly.

"Hey no one asked you to take care of me. And what do you mean by older. You are only 1 minute older than me." said Aden pouting.

"1minute counts bro." said Raymond

A seconds silence and they both ended up laughing.

"Finally you are out of that serious book nerd mode. But seriously I have to go too. So come on help me pack. I have to go say my byes to my girls out their." said Raymond with a mischievous wink.

"Ya right. I'll do it." said Aden.

"Thanks bro." said Raymond as he took off.

"And someone says he is my elder brother." said Aden as he got up to start packing their stuff for the journey that awaits.

While packing their bags he recalled what happened that afternoon.

"Second young master" called an elderly and yet crisp voice.

Turning back he came eye to eye with with and elderly person with grey hair short properly cut wearing uniform neat and clean. His posture straight and strict yet he wears a semi strict and mild expression as he continued.

"Second young master, master has asked me to inform you that due to some business project he will be leaving the country for some years."

"So, what have that got anything to do with me?" asked Aden with an irritated tone.

"Master has asked to inform you that you and young master will be accompanying him on this trip."

"When he has already decided everything from before why even bother informing. Thank you Mr. Arnold, you may leave."

And the butler looked the young boy with concern before bowing and leaving the room.

Coming back to the present he continues blankly. As he raised his head only to look at sky wearing a veil of darkness. As his eyes search something in nothing.

As the night falls into the eerie of the night

Kkkkkkk......

Phhhhhh.....

Sounds of cutting and tearing of paper echoes in the silence of the night.

Skritch....sktatch...... Of pen accompanies it to the silent retreat.

"Finally done."

"Are you done yet? Hurry up and go to sleep. It's your school tomorrow and you have to wake up early " called a deep yet tender voice.

"Yes Dad. Only a little bit of arranging is done. And then I'll quickly pack up my back in 5 minutes and then done." answered a calm and low voice hiding in its veil a little bit of panic.

"You have not even packed up your bags yet?" called Mr. Arya said to his daughter.

"Let it be. You complete your work I'll pack it for you."

Hearing this a head emerged from behind scattered book garnished with a number of pastel sheets on the top.

"oh! it's alright. I'll do it. oh let me do it first." she said as the duo started arranging.

"You should have completed your work few days before. Then you wouldn't have it piled up now" said Mr Arya.

"Hey I asked you to get the print outs you brought it later." she rebuked

"You should have simply left spaces for that and completed everything else."

As their squabble continued.

"Ok it's done" called out the girl.

"Ok Viera quickly complete your work and go to bed."

"yes dad. goodnight."

This statement was followed by the fading footsteps.

How much I hate first day of school after such a long vacation. Don't know why it just makes me nervous. Going to school after long break...

oh well . Let's just sleep. Tomorrow I'll have to wake up early.

Lights clicked out as the room plunged into darkness as the quietude of the night open the doors to world of dreams weaved with the threads of artistry.

Next Morning

" Hey be quick go to that classroom for the exam." called out a stern voice.

"yes ma'am"

"ma'am may I come in" asked a girl.

"you are half an hour late. Ok settle down quickly and here is your question paper" replied a familiar voice.

Oh no I forgot my pen.

"Hey can you please lend me your pen."

She is a senior. And she forgets her pen on an exam day.

thought the boy.

"Here you go."

Skritch Skratch.....

"Hey this isn't working." said the the girl with her voicd tinted with impatience.

"Hey what's the fuss about. What is the problem?"

"Ma'am I forgot my pen."

"What were you even thinking girl when coming to school today. Here take this pen. Now if you talk I'll confiscate your paper."

"Yes ma'am."

Ok now I have to start very quickly or I'll not be able to complete it.

Thinking this as she open her paper...

"What the heck !!!!!!

Wasn't it supposed to be an English exam how come it's maths. Oh my God what am I supposed to do now. I am doomed.

As she picked the pen with her unsteady hands trying makeout something of the question paper before her.

" Last 10 minutes. Arrange your sheets everybody. And then you can keep on writing."

"10 minutes! Oh my god what should I do. What should I do........" she panicked as it took every ounce of her strength to calm herself down.

"Last 5 minutes

and up."

"Times up student. Hand over your paper.

"Oh ump....um... " the girl hesitated trying to figure out her muddled thoughts, to say something but can't . As she handed over her paper.

She know no matter what she couldn't do anything.

"What will happen my paper was almost blank. What will happen."

As she was the brink of tears

"Viera...Viera.....Viera get up you are going to late for the school. Hurry up and get out of the bed." called a calm yet impatient voice.

"Hahhhhh....Hahhhhh." Viera got up with a start.

"Oh my god. That was a dream....

What a dream.....She thought to herself as she tried to calm herself down

Hufff...... huhhh.... it's gonna be a long day today."

Viera said to herself as she got out of the bed to get ready for the day."
