2020 Untold

An overheard conversation between 2020 AND 2021

.....(music/noise/chatterss)...

[31/12/2020,11.30pm]2020: Hey,2021, Are you all set?Have rechecked your bag?Make sure you don't forget those sanitiser sprays and masks from your mom.

[31/12/2020,11.35pm]2021: Yes yes, I am ready. Will be there in 25minutes sharp.

[31/12/2020,11.35pm]2020: Hmm. Kkk.Good for you then. Be a good boy.

[31/12/2020,11.36pm]2021: Well, you know!!they are so welcoming to me...see those lights,jingles, music all around.., but why are you sounding so low?

[31/12/2020,11.37pm]2020: Haahaa, that is all they do. They welcomed me with such grandeur a year back as well. I was flattered as the Century Year, with crackers, lights and what not... and now all they do is simply hate me!!(sighs)

[31/12/2020,11.37pm]2021: Well, I read about you in pre-onboarding lessons.. Man, you changed their entire world!and covid!!Oh Lord!, it is such a tough subject.But I don't think you are that bad.Are you?

[31/12/2020,11.38pm]2020: Well Thanks, atleast you asked, none ever tried to listen my side of the story.

(with teary eyes...) Do you have time to listen?

[31/12/2020,11.39pm]2021:  Yah, I guess..I whole 20minutes.(checking his watch) Go ahead, I'ld love hear last minute suggestion.

[31/12/2020,11.40pm]2020: Hmm..frankly speaking all I had was bookish knowledge like you unless I actually came. All before me came and went with stories of how much cruelty they had faced. Inspite of millions warnings against noise, dirt, pollutions, corruptions, negativies etc.. humans kept stabbing them. Those viruses have been deadlier than Covid-19, cause those caused hidden scars. But all overlooked.

[31/12/2020,11.41pm]2021: TRUE. They took life way to lightly.

[31/12/2020,11.42pm]2020: Yes and every Year would comeback with red marked dates and torn calenders and blisters all around. But they kept numb. In my final year of pre-onboarding, I got a mentor, Mr.1945. I got terrified, when I saw his horrible appearance for the first time. Later I heard from peers. Mr.1945 was a survivor, with scars all around, bleeding-chocking-coughing with pungent atomic gases. The one from 6th of August. He was unable to even breathe and carried an oxygen-cylinder along.

[31/12/2020,11.43pm]2021: ooooh!! The great Hiroshima Nagasaki Atomic blast!! That was really scary..

[31/12/2020,11.44pm]2020:  No. What's scary was people were not scared of it's consequences. All they did was blaming each other.  And now they did the same with me. They developed the Bio-weapon themselves, inflicted each other and kept on cursing me. Who loves to see misery and death all around!? Only a sick moron like selfish mankind!! It was too unfortunate to see them suffer in that state. 

[31/12/2020,11.45pm]2021: I can imagine what might have been through all this pandemic.

[31/12/2020,11.46pm]2020: Hmm.. I too came with the hope of doing something great, restoring peace and harmony. But they ruined it all!! It hurts to see them suffering. I feel quiver under my heart with every bad news. But believe me friend, I never wanted this to happen. 

[31/12/2020,11.46pm]2021: Fool they are...

[31/12/2020,11.47pm]2020: Yes "fool" they are, that they consider me an enemy.. look around they aren't welcoming you, rather they are happy bidding me Bye.

(2020 Broke down)

[31/12/2020,11.47pm]2021: Don't be sad.. I'll try to break their misunderstanding. 

(wiping his tears..)

[31/12/2020,11.48pm]2020: You know, I rather even  tried to repair them with whatever good I had. I tried to make them happy indoors, bring them closer to their families, gave them The break they so badly needed and most importantly gave them the chance to look back and mend (if possible)., to judge and analyze LIFE but...alas!!

[31/12/2020,11.49pm]2021: Hey but as per your report card , you did great on a few scales. I see, you even decreased pollution in few cities by 50%, Floras and Faunas will be so grateful ,you brought people together, you made them do away with their mundane life and spare a few moments actually feeling things.. you also boasted their lost hobbies. last Years' will be proud of you!!

[31/12/2020,11.52pm]2020: Yes, but I that was from the pose people. But how can I forget, those lost lives, lost jobs and cries of street hawkers? They suffered most when it was not even their fault. I'll be in their bad books forever.

[31/12/2020,11.53pm]2021: Why always look at the adverse sides when you created milestones!! You were brought for a whole different purpose. Life is all about stealing those moments of beauty. They'll realise someday soon.

 [31/12/2020,11.54pm]2020: May be, well thanks to you, I feel quite better now, atleast you believed me. Go now your turn awaits.

(....silence..)

[31/12/2020,11.55pm]2021: We tend to criticize what's present and cherish it only when it's gone. I trust you, for your intensions weren't bad.

[31/12/2020,11.56pm]2020: Well! But they have a looooot of expectations from you...don't dishearten them this time. I hope they've understood their mistake of taking Mother Nature for granted. Steal the show ,they're eagarly waiting for you...Heal them all.

[31/12/2020,11.57pm]2021: I will try my best. Have taken the oath to cure them. Let's see what awaits.. Keep in touch.

[31/12/2020,11.58pm]2020: Hopefully. I will be quarantined for good one month. Don't forget to breathe.. and take it slow.. take care of Them, I loved them a lot!!

[31/12/2020,11.59pm]2021:  Thanks for guiding me buddy. My whole notion about you have changed . Go and take some rest, its been quite rough on your part. Good BYE Mr.2020

(00.00 HRS) **Cracks, lights, shouts**

[01/01/2021,12.00am]2021: OOpps!! hey, look it's grand !!(checking wrist watch)  nice meeting you.. see you after a year again.. will remember you...take care
