Imogene - Prologue: continued


Scene is of the same dark room and the girl gets up on the bed. "Aaah! Fuck, I'll certainly die off in my dreams" she cursed. She gets out of the bed to take some water, and checks the time, it was 1AM. She goes out of the room, corridor was lit, everything seems fine. " Baby, let's chow down", tells herself and walks in the corridor to another. 

In a scene of room of many shelves, table, cooking utensils, she's opened the fridge door and is looking for something. Again the sirenic noise starts. She turns back and takes her phone off the table on the side without looking at the phone. Screen was again white out and rows of black lines moving on the screen. The announcement was clear and it was saying "everyone outside the office room now". A man in black jacket, passes outside the door of the room. "Hey man!" She gets to the door out of the room, " I m talking to you" and he wasn't in the corridor anymore.


At a platform, outside a room with glass door, with a name plate hanged, Mrs Smith, two women and a man, all in 30s or 40s were talking to eachother, and many girls in their night dress coming, and some standing and chattering down the platform. And then one of the two ladies in white cardigan hanged over her shoulder with a very comfortable shirt and pyjamas inside, turns to the girls and says gesturing to Ava, " Ava, join there." Ava comes to the girls and stand in front and asks " what's the matter, Mrs Smith." "Its for the safety for you all and also to know if Mr Davis's daughter, Amelia came in the hostel. Apparently she didn't come here in records or otherwise or was at her home for the past three days, she's gone missing" Mrs Smith passes gaze to Mr and Mrs davis mockingly and continues "She's been missing since three days. If anyone comes up with any news of her immediately report to me, police will be taking the further charges. Having said that, I only take the responsibilities of girls in my hostel and all the rules are to be strictly followed by them. Now all may go back to sleep" Everyone departs, and Ava comes forward and ask "Mrs Smith, is the investigation already started, I saw someone else here, maybe." Mrs Smith turns to her and frowned to Ava saying "or may be you should go to sleep". "Aye" Ava taking all, looks at the wavering screen light of phone.


15 years later... 7th june 2033


Story


In front of a beautiful piano, with a photo album in her hands, Ava in sheath dress looking , is looking at photos. A girl of same age, brown hairs as of Ava, hazel eyes, with old sheets of paper in her hand enters the room and calls "Mom, look, did you write this, night of 14 September?" 

" Oh that Olivia, I just tried to write a story, it's nothing."

 "All right I'll finish it then" Olivia looks at Ava smiling gracefully and says "Mom, where did you meet father, was he with you in college. Is he in the album."

 Looking at the album and then to Olivia, Ava replies, "No honey, I met him later."

 " Weren't you teen, when you got me?"

 " Yeah, I was, I left college early, after that I met him and got you beautiful child" Ava stood up saying this and kissed her daughter.



Story

After Olivia leaves, Ava looks at the album again and embraces her fingers over a photo of her with a hazel eyed, angled face, tall man, both facing each other with mugs in their hands and their surprised face turned to the camera. "I can feel you around" she mumbled.


15 September 2018... 2 A.M.


Story


A tall man, in a black tailcoat jacket, black boots taking small slow steps, walks elegantly in the alleyway, outside a building. Mr and Mrs Davis, comes out of the same hostel building in that alleyway. At distant, the stranger in black was looking at them.


7th june 2033

Ava is still looking at the same photo of album, she's taken the photo in her hand now. She flips the photo to look at the back of it, there is a date printed, 11.09.2018 , and in a black handwritten cursive font,
         I know where's he    
                                                  -Genet
She sighs looking at that and then, there is a foot step sound. She looks at the door and calls, "Olivia" in a very normal tone, and starts grabbing all the photos into the album back.

 " No, that's me" and Ava turns to the door and all the photos from her fall down, some on ground, some over piano. "I could be more than a memory for you" the man same as in the photo, looking at Ava, gesturing to the photo and then smiling back to Ava says; in light gray shirt with sleeves rolled up to elbows and arms open. His smile being so contagious,  his eyes narrows to half as if fixing gaze to an beautiful art. He rolls his both eyelids slowly over the eyes, to blink, as if these hazel eyes want to capture the beautiful scene of sunrise at horizon. His expression is of love, care, and how much he has waited and searched for this beautiful sight, is straight reflected on his face.

Ava fills with joy, her face is glowing as the beauty of moon is hidden in her face. She takes a step to him and stops to say, " how are you here" her grin faints away in a second, she passes a startled look to him. "Where should I go now, they'll come here?" Her voice gets softer and softer, she has now turned away from him, looking here and there. She seems very terrified, her voice gets more soft, and her frightened heart is about to give way making her beat faster and louder, "do they know about Olivia?" 

 "No, nobody knows anything. This's only me." He is now just side to her, close to her, he looks more taller now, with fine body; from the side, his sharp jawed face appears with a smile and he holds Ava's shoulders with both of his hands, and turns her back to him. And suddenly again there's a feeling of calmness in the environment. Ava's tranquility is so appreciable, she looks at his eyes, her jet black eyes are charming feeling the hands of his embracing her, and her cheeks lift up, nothing can compare her joy. It is like two banks of a river has finally met.
