ATTACHED (Part I)

I rifled through my laptop bag like a mad man, and then I emptied the cupboard shelves. I then walked to the living room sabotaged it, followed by the kitchen and the sit out but ‘IT’ was nowhere to be seen. I was a ‘man on a mission’. After loitering around here and there and having made many futile attempts, my journey ended where it had commenced .I started exploring the cupboard again.

I reached out for something kept on the upper shelf and accidently sent a showpiece kept next to it crashing to the floor. Before it completed its journey to the floor, it extracted its revenge on me by hurting my foot. I wasn’t sure what pissed me off more – the wound or the mess that I would have to clean up. Nevertheless I continued with my quest of finding what I needed most at that moment – a ‘DATA CABLE’.

Yes, a ‘DATA CABLE’ the same old technological advancement which helps humans to transfer trivial and non trivial things from one gizmo to another gizmo. I had downloaded a latest chartbuster song from one of the free sites and now I needed it desperately on my mobile .By now I had already turned my entire flat upside down but still wasn’t in a mood of giving up. Just then, in the midst of all this chaos my roommate came and kicked my ass as hard as he could.

“You bonehead, what do you think you are doing???”He said followed by a few more cuss words.

I sheepishly looked at him and said “I was looking for my data cabl……” before I could finish I got another kick.

“You moron….you vandalized the entire flat just for a piece of wire…are you nuts!!!!” he said with a few more F and A words

“You could have taken mine….”

This took me by surprise. How come this never occurred to me?
I retaliated by saying “But I wanted mine….”

“Are you married????”...he asked with a hint of taunt…

“What???”

“No, I mean are you married to that wire…….”was his reply...

“Absolutely not, and by the way I needed it urgently because I wanted to transfer this song….”was my defence,although not convincing enough.

“Which song???”

To my surprise, I didn’t even remember the name of the sang which I wanted to transfer…..

“I don’t remember the name...”

“Oh great…you wrecked the entire flat for a piece of wire…which already had a substitute…and you don’t even know what you need it for…..”
“May I know the reason for such irrational behavior???”

I didn’t know what to reply…..I resorted by saying…. “Maybe I was ATTATCHED to it..........”

To be continued……
