*Alarm started ringing at 6:19 in the morning.*
*My glasses were sleeping beside me and woke up in suddenly with loud sound of alarm*
*Now I am hearing 2 voices, one my alarm screaming and second my glasses telling me to wake up!*
Glasses: Bro, wake up. Then you regret later. Later on, your mom scolds me “You have made my son blind, you witty piece of machine!”
Sarthak: Arre, but it is not even 6:30, let me sleep for some more minutes!
Glasses: I don’t know you have to wake up… You have to stud…
*No more voices were audible to Sarthak then till sometime*
*Alarm once again rang at 6:30*
Glasses: Oye, now you have to wake up, see it’s bright outside. It is almost 8.
*Sarthak wakes up suddenly, got out of bed just to find out that it is 6:30*
*Glasses in the corner just winked and smirked*
Glasses: Do you think, only you could fool me? Huh? Anyways, now you’re out of bed, let’s go! I want to feel the fresh air outside!
Sarthak: Oh brother, corona virus is out there. We cannot go outside. Come on let’s brush!
*Glasses got heartbroken*
Sarthak: Why are you sad? If we can’t go outside, I will give you a cold-water splash of water. Come on!
Glasses: No bluffing Sarthak! I was waiting for Holi (festival of colours) since last 4 months, and you didn’t even cleaned me! You poor lazy kid!
Sarthak: Bro, I am sorry. I didn’t know that you must have been so hurt and broken inside! Only for you, we are going to the balcony and not further than that!
*Glasses went to the balcony along with Sarthak and enjoyed the empty road view and clear sky*
Glasses: So, what’s up dude? How am I doing my job? Your eyes, my body, unbreakable combination?
Sarthak: Just shut up, let’s enjoy the sunrise!
*Closes the door back and went inside* *Picks up the brush and started stroking his teeth*
Glasses: I am better than your little toothbrush! I stay with you, almost all the time! I help you look at pretty faces and pretty much everything! Am I not star?
*Toothbrush cries in the corner* *Sarthak rinsed his mouth*
Sarthak: Come-on let’s study before everyone else in the house wakes up!
Glasses: When you first brought me to this house, I was so tensed about how you will handle me? And will I be able to survive here?
*I haven’t even watched Ramayan yesterday, why is he talking all spiritual and emotional?*
Sarthak: Because you help me, there is no chance we could live without each other! You’re my pal!
*Awwwww plays in background*
Glasses: You always picked me with both hands! Why?
Sarthak: Because there is no one to put a bottle of glucose in this lockdown?
Glasses: Eh?
Sarthak: Arre, I mean how will I get you repaired if you broke?
Glasses: Why don’t you just throw me away? You selfish creature!
Sarthak: Oh no no no no, don’t be so rude! I am sorry! Even if there wouldn’t be any lockdown, I would have taken care of you like this only and you know it! Isn’t it?
*Glasses blushes*
Sarthak: Come on, let’s complete this chapter! Aren’t we too late?
