Lekhny composition -25-Oct-2022

When I opened the job letter , I was transported into a thousand mile away.

Stranded in strange city built of large built of fancy building and too bright light.

I strolled into a dusted room at the second floor of old yellow building.

Again and found the letter of my old fatherly landlord who provided the room few years ago.

In his letter he wrote the tomato plant that still produced the ripe taste.

But it produced a sweet one after I left but his isolation couldn't taste the sweetness.

I knocked on his closed door and his history books welcomed me.

He would often tell the tales of his army days and war over a sip of black coffee.

Though coffee would be ordered twice in a week.

He was strict and ring my bell door for the rent and would oogle for the cleaneness of floor.

I remember his whistle and a wrist watch kept on the table, always goes with jogging with sparrow.

I sat on his hard bed with soft mattress and continued reading letter.

He complaints about light bill and maintenance issue written in red.

On my birthday , he prepared for the dinner table but ate first as I was lost in work.

At dawn he would erect the board of discipline and excercise on my window.

And continued the letter on which he asked me to refine my tattered handwriting and skill.

And few stars for my no word out on burner and the complaint dealed the same day in yellow.

He acted like a father according to my sadness as he would get by my face.

And his irritation on me of not giving rent on time.

I would like to pass my frustration balloon to him as he would often not listen for reasons.

But he would sometime , would call and ask how are you.

His ice cold behaviour switch would keep me in awe mostly.

He would nag to increase the rent percentage and for feedback on the app.

I would also not pay on his isolation snake growing big and on his health.

But we somehow made a relationship that was hard to get another in a hot summer time.

Though at present he became a star and I collected all his books and his children gold.

He left the property for his children while I got the golden knowledge books..
