DEBT : Meant for Repayment
EP1 : The beginning
The night faded slowly as the dawn stretched across the horizon. As the golden light approaches, darkness retreated.
The sun rose slowly, taking its time to warm the land. Eventually a day break.
The branches, now lighter after autumn’s long work, stood silhouetted against the sky painted in blue and amber hues, seemed to be awakened with a quiet breath.
Birds were chirping and flapping their wings, ready to leave their nests at any time.
The fallen leaves in shades of amber, rust and deep gold, carpeted the ground, rustling softly whenever a breeze wandered around. A delicate layer of morning frost remained in vicinity.
The crisp and chilly air carried a faint scent of fallen leaves and moist soil. Tiny droplets of dew clung to the remaining leaves and to the grasses.
Amidst this serene and beautiful landscape, a majestic villa stood there elegantly, basking in a soft golden glow. The morning sun rays illuminate the walls and the wide glass windows of the villa.
Outside, in middle of the garden, a fountain tickled steadily. The surface of the water sparkled in the sunlight. While, the butterflies opened their wings on leaves to absorb the morning heat.
A thin veil of morning mist surrounded the villa, made the estate feel secluded from the rest of the world.
All this together created a harmonious and serene atmosphere of early winter days. Yet beyond this calmness something unexpected waited patiently beneath the cover of the villa, until,
A sound of an alarm clock, coming from a nearby room, disrupted the peaceful atmosphere and woke someone up from their deep slumber.
A rustling sound came from a small bed and something stirred underneath the cover.
Darkness faded slowly; consciousness returned in fragments.
？？？
A quiet breath, eyelashes fluttered and a pair of eyes opened. However, got dazzled by the sunlight and shut it.
？？？
👀👀 Then slowly opened.
？？？
The mist in the eyes only gave a blurry image of the surroundings at first but eventually got clear.
The first thing 'it' noticed.......
It was painted in sky blue color. A few miniature snow-white clouds, a mini sun, a crescent moon and a few little stars are hanging in there.
？？？
‘It’ tilted ‘its’ head a little.
？？？
Noticed that this was a crib where ‘it’ was sleeping and a small woolen blanket covered ‘its’ body.
？？？
Turning towards the right, ‘it’ saw ....
A huge window, covered in a curtain which occasionally flattered in the wind. The soft and warm sun rays seeped through the window, illuminating the whole room.
The room was painted in soft pink.
？？？
‘It’ stared for a while, again turned towards the left.
There, ‘it’ saw a swing hanging from the ceiling, a small wardrobe placed at a corner, a table near to the bed, a baby chair, some toys scattered on the floor and the whole floor covered in a thick carpet.
？？？
‘It’ observed every detail of the room to its fullest.
？？？
“Where am I? What is this strange looking place?”
A brief pause but the eyes were continuously wondering around and the face wore a confused look.
？？？
It murmured again,
“I can’t recall, I was here before. So strange.”
？？？
‘It’ tried to push the body up but the body felt heavy, so ‘it’ tried to lift ‘its’ hand. A tiny palm came into the view.
？？？
Evaluating the hand for sometimes, ‘it’ said amusingly,
“Why so tiny? Did my hand get shrink or something?”
？？？
‘It’ tried ‘its’ best to recall but there was nothing except blankness. That made ‘it’ frustrated.
“Geez! Why can’t I remember anything?”
Out of nowhere, a coldness struck ‘its’ body. That caught ‘it’ off guard and ‘It’ shivered.
？？？
“Why am I feeling so cold? What’s up with this dampness?”
By saying so, ‘It’ started to check the bedsheets and the blanket. Unfortunately, it was very clean. Something flashed in ‘its’ mind, ‘it’ checked ‘its’ pant and soon cried out loudly.
？？？
“Ahhh… ahhhhh…. don’t tell me, I peed in the bed. Ahhh….. How could I face anyone! Wu… wu…”
‘It’ felt quite ashamed of ‘itself’. And this grumbling went on and on without any break, until ‘it’ startled by a sound.
A crying sound erupted in the room. Quite loud and soon became a deafening one to the point that ‘it’ had to cover ‘its’ ear with ‘its’ little palm. But the noise didn’t fade away to a slightest bit.
？？？
That Irritated ‘it’ so much so that ‘it’ grumbled,
“Who’s crying there so loudly? Stop, crying."
？？？
"Uff! my ear! If this goes on, I will become a deaf for sure. Okay, stop it! Did you hear me? Oye, answer me. Hey!"
？？？
‘It’ stiffened and panic flickered in ‘its’ eyes. Despite that, ‘it’ tried to listen carefully to pinpoint the direction of the sound.
？？？
“The sound is coming very close to me.”
As a matter of fact, it concluded.
？？？
Without any further delay, ‘it’ turned ‘its’ head from left to right, again right to left, found nothing,
？？？
But noticed ‘its’ eyes were misty and the throat felt sour.
？？？
Soon, a quick realization settled inside ‘its’ mind. She immediately grasped with horror.
？？？
“Wait a minute! I am crying! It’s my voice. It sounds like a baby. WTF! I become a baby. Seriously, a baby!”
And that’s it all of her grumpiness. Soon she started whining.
？？？
“Oh! God! If you wanna make me something why not make me an adult! Why make me a baby! Why God? Why?”
What could she do except complain.
Currently, she was a clueless being except self awareness. Also, she doesn’t have any prior recollection of her memories. Moreover, she only gets her consciousness back a few moments ago.
Even, she doesn’t know what was she or who is she. All the things she said or has done are just………
….... pure Instinct engraves in her soul.
EP 2 : Two Little Chaos (Part:1)
EP2 : Two Little Chaos (Part:1)
After sometimes, she stopped her whining and searched the whole room for clues.
Also, her thoughts were wondering around in a circle. Eventually, this led her to a deep thought.
Unbeknownst to her, someone unhurriedly came towards the room.
The door opened; and someone entered the room.
She went towards the table to put down whatever she was holding. Turning away, she pulled the curtains aside and walked towards the crib.
？？？
Suddenly, seeing a big face in front of her, she got startled; and the tiny body couldn’t bear the impact started crying.
？？？
“Whoa…...whoa……whoa….”
？？？
As she cried, she got annoyed and complaint in her heart,
？？？
💭 Ugh! This body is so fragile; only knows how to cry. Utterly useless.
maid
The maid immediately bent down and picked up the baby, soon realised what went wrong.
maid
“Ohoo! Ohoo! Who made you cry? Little miss, this diaper, hmm? Let me throw it away in the trash can, hmm, okay?”
maid
While comforting the baby, she quickly changed the baby’s diaper, put on a soft and clean clothes, and lastly, wiped the baby’s face clean in a practiced manner.
Now, the baby felt refreshed, no more discomfort anywhere.
？？？
Satisfied by the maid’s care, she gave the maid a big smile,
“he-he... he-he…he-he…. He-he….” 😄😄😄
？？？
And started her inquiry.
“Baa……... boo…. boo…….”
(Who are you?
What are you doing here?)
Whether call the maid ignorant or something else, she couldn’t understand a single word that the baby was talking about.
Moreover, she thought that the baby was happy and wanted to talk to her. So, she didn’t interrupt the baby, just listened the baby’s gibberish.
？？？
Meanwhile, she didn’t get any answer, so she pouted and stared at the maid without blinking.
？？？
She started to scrutinize the maid right at her face. At last, she said in her mind,
？？？
💭She can’t be the mother as she called me little miss. And, by her body language and professionalism, she seemed to be the caretaker. Hmm, that will be the case.
？？？
Nodding in affirmation, she praised herself to the sky while smiling foolishly,
💭 Wow! I am so intelligent.
？？？
However, she completely forgot that the both of them were in a staring competition.
This stalemate soon got resolved by a sound.
It was nothing but the baby’s tummy protested for food.
？？？
She hid her face in her palm.
maid
“Aww! Little miss, are you shy? Hmm? Are you shy??”
The maid teased the baby and the baby got more embarrassed.
maid
Seeing the baby’s reaction, she chuckled and conceded.
maid
“Okay, okay. I am stopping. I am stopping. I won’t tease you anymore. Okay?"
maid
"You don’t need to blush. Hmm. Let me feed this little tummy to some milk. Okay?”
maid
She assured the baby; then hurriedly grabbed the bottle and put in front of the baby’s mouth.
？？？
“Ba… boo...bah…”
(I don’t like milk. Put aside, put aside.)
At first, the baby denied to drink and protested. But, couldn’t resist the alluring smell of the milk
？？？
And started to drool over it.
🤤🤤🤤🤤
？？？
Defeated by the urge, she simply gave up her resistance and latched on it.
？？？
After finishing the whole bottle, she was satisfied with the feast and burped.
maid
She put the baby down on the carpet, placed some toys in front of the baby to play with it and left the room.
maid
Before leaving, she watched the baby grabbed a teddy bear and fiddled with it.
？？？
She threw it away as she got bored with it.
？？？
Again, she picked a toy, played with it sometime, then got bored and threw it away again.
This went on and on until,
？？？
She grabbed the xylophone.
？？？
She beat the xylophone with a stick.
？？？
She got astonished, her eyes shone bright with interest. She repeated her action once again.
？？？
She got intrigued by it. So, she repeated the action again and again.
"Ting, ting, tong, ting, tong, ting......."
A string of notes came out. It was nothing like a melody but more like a noise.
However, it didn’t matter to the baby.
？？？
As she heard it, she got overwhelmed with joy.
She liked the sound very much, even if it is a noise hard to bear.
？？？
She didn’t care about anything and played with it with gusto. Because what’s there to worry about to begin with.
In reality, she treated the xylophone as a punching bag to stretched her aching muscles. At the same time, she also vented her frustration by beating it to her heart’s content.
It went on for hours. Soon, noon came and a chaos returned to its home.
As soon as ‘it’ crossed the threshold of the door, ‘it’ stormed inside the living room and declared.
Butler
The butler of the house greeted,
“Welcome back, little master Ishaan.”
Ishaan Ray Chaudhuri
He didn’t acknowledge it, instead he looked here and there.
Ishaan Ray Chaudhuri
Not finding whom he was searching, he unhappily asked,
Ishaan Ray Chaudhuri
“Where’s baby sister? I didn’t see her here. Is she asleep? Has she eaten?”
Seeing his gloomy face, whoever present in the room got frighten.
Ishaan is a total brat. If you didn’t cater his whims, he would throw everything upside-down, storming everywhere, creating a mess.
Moreover, He had a very distinct baseline and, in this line, the top place-holder was his sister.
He loved his baby sister so much that he could not tolerate anything bad towards his sister even if it came from a family member.
Currently, he was asking his sister whereabouts. Even if anything got amiss a slightest bit you are doomed.
If they won’t fell frighten, then what else can they do.
Butler
He didn’t dare to delay any longer and instantly answered.
Butler
“Little miss is eating right now. You can find her in the dining room.”
Ishaan Ray Chaudhuri
No sooner had the word came out than he strode towards the dining hall. But halted in his pace by the scene.
EP 3: Two Little Chaos (Part:2)
EP 3: Two Little Chaos (Part:2)
The baby was enjoying her lunch very much. Her both cheeks were smeared in food; her hands were continuously grabbing the foods, tried to eat by herself.
Also, she was covered in food residues. It looked like that she ate less, threw more.
maid
Amidst this mess, she stood there and fed the baby helplessly, although there wasn’t much food left in the bowl.
Ishaan Ray Chaudhuri
By watching this mess which his baby sister created, he couldn’t control himself and laughed out loud.
Ishaan Ray Chaudhuri
“hahaha...… hahaha… hahaha….”
😂😂😂😂
Ishaan Ray Chaudhuri
His body shook vigorously by the sheer impact of the laughter.
maid
As soon as she heard this, turned around and greeted him.
maid
“Little master, welcome back.”
？？？
She also saw the boy, wearing a uniform,
“Boo” (Little master?) “Boo” (who?)
Ishaan Ray Chaudhuri
He thought his sister also greeted him, so he said again.
Ishaan Ray Chaudhuri
“I am home, Doll. Ptts...”
But didn’t stop his laughter.
Doll
💭 So, my name is Doll. Not bad. Not bad. I quite like it.
Doll
She became happy and smiled. But her happiness didn't last long when she heard,
Ishaan Ray Chaudhuri
“What are you doing, Doll? Ptts….. Ea...ting? Or batt...ling? Haaaa….haaaaa…”
Voice trembled between laughing and talking.
Why not??
She really couldn't eat by herself.
Doll
She got offended, sneered in her heart and looked away.
Doll
💭Hump…. How dare you to laugh at my face! Didn’t you see anyone eating before? Huh. What so funny about it? I dare you to come and see how I beat you up today. Ugh! Annoying brat.
Ishaan Ray Chaudhuri
Watching his sister got angry, he surrendered himself and started to coax the baby.
Ishaan Ray Chaudhuri
“Oh! Baby sister, my cute little Doll, don’t worry, your big bro will teach you how to eat by yourself. Your big bro knows how to eat by himself.”
Ishaan Ray Chaudhuri
He said with pride by puffing his chest out. But the baby ignored him completely.
Doll
💭Who you are calling big bro? Hump... Trash. Showing off.
Now she held a grudge.
Ishaan Ray Chaudhuri
Not getting any response, he further said to authenticate his claim.
Ishaan Ray Chaudhuri
“I eat myself with my classmates everyday. No one feed me there.”
Doll
In reply, she slammed the table as if to say ‘you dare’.
Ishaan Ray Chaudhuri
He thought his sister agreed with him and wanted him to feed her.
Ishaan Ray Chaudhuri
So, he picked up a spoonful of baby-food and tried to feed his baby sister.
Doll
But she denied eating by her brother’s hand.
Doll
💭Yuk! Did you wash your hand? You didn’t even change your uniform. So unhygienic. Stay away from me, you moron. Stay away.
Doll
As a result, the food got spilled all over her body. That angered her so much that she slapped her brother’s hand away.
“Pah”
Doll
And that’s not the end; she also grabbed some food from the table and threw it on her brother’s face. Made her brother looked just like herself.
Ishaan Ray Chaudhuri
He also threw some food on the baby.
Ishaan Ray Chaudhuri
He thought his sister want to play with him. As a big brother how could he not cater his sister’s whim.
But Doll took it as a challenged.
Doll
“Gugu…. Bah…. Bo....bo….”
(You wanna fight with me. huh. Fine by me. Bring it on. Let me show you who’s the king.)
Thus, a fight broke out. One tiny and one relatively big fought with each other like it was a battle field. One was angry and other one thought it was a play.
During the whole spectacle, the maid tried every means to stop them. But they didn’t budge at all. They both were stubborn, truly a pair of siblings.
Eventually, the fight ended. Yeah, quite unexpected but the battle was over.
It wasn’t that they suddenly realized that they were fighting with different reasons and obediently stopped the fight rather than they were too tried to carry forward the fight. So, they just simply stopped altogether.
The two little baby currently asleep in their rooms, venturing in their respective dreamland. Sparing the whole villa and let it returned to its previous state --- calm and quiet. Although the aftermath of the battle yet to be cleared.
To Ishaan’s side, in the dream, inside a castle.
In the throne room the baby sister sat on the throne like a queen and he stood in front of his sister, holding a sword. A few meters away a hoard of monsters was standing in a stalemate position.
One monster shouted,
“Go and teach him a lesson and bring the princess to me. We will play together forever. Go!”
Ishaan Ray Chaudhuri
Hearing this, he seethed with anger and also shouted,
Ishaan Ray Chaudhuri
“As long as I am here, no one can touch my sister. And you want to play with my sister, dream on.”
Ishaan Ray Chaudhuri
“Doll, do not afraid, I will fight with them and save you. Wait for me here. Okay?”
Ishaan Ray Chaudhuri
He assured his baby sister and started to beat the monsters hysterically,
“Pah. pah... pah...”
Ishaan Ray Chaudhuri
After beating them to his heart’s content, he stood over the monster’s body heroically and laughed triumphantly.
Ishaan Ray Chaudhuri
“Ha! Ha! Ha! Victory! Victory!”
Ishaan Ray Chaudhuri
Then, he smugly said,
“Baby Doll, big brother would never let any monster come near you. I always protect you and play with you.”
In reply, his sister clapped and laughed just like him. And dream end here.
He actually sleep-talked all the time and shouted aloud. Also, his hands and feet were not honest, non-stop kicking the pillow and blanket and threw it out of the bed like they were the real monsters.
He and his dream both were simple but not entirely unpredictable. What an overprotective brother.
Meanwhile, another side, initially, Doll was sleeping peacefully but then became restless.
Doll
She whimpered in her sleep and sweat excessively. Occasionally, she jerked her hands or legs here and there.
What’s up with this restlessness? Is she sick?
No. Not at all. She was just dreaming.
Well, could it be a nightmare?
Hmm, maybe or may not be, don’t have any idea.
We just had to do a simple thing to know the answer, that dive right straight to the dream and watch ourselves what was the dream all about.
