Blackness Over The Dusk

Rama had terminated from his service in very early morning today. He has already bundled his luggage. He had not much of stuff, only some ugly dusty clothes and grimy bed sheet.

He came out from the restaurant where he had worked for past 2 years.When he had arrived here in Goa from a farthest end of Tamilnadu state, after so reluctant roaming here and there found a work at northern area. Restaurant manager had asked him" shall you able to converse with customers in english ?" he hovered and shook his head "Yes".

   His job was to make conversation with tourists to pull them by attributing speciality of food plaza and reasonable price.

He was able to speak some dilapidated english. So many times he used to mesmerize european and russian tourists because he was well aware their second language is not enough strong. He pulled off lot of customers due to that quality and had impressed deeply manager so on.

       He was thinking brutally as every movement of feet, giving an extraordinary performance still couldn't hold his job. A single misinterpretation has thrown him outside.

Now, he had reached at a silence beach and just sat on the foil wet soil.Sun has started to falling over the infinite sea.

He had completed study up to 10th standard, due to poor economic portfolio family made him helpless as eldest's one it was his responsibility to feed them.

       He had fainted totally with deep despair knew that it would not possible to return back home. Since matter of the fact was sending his almost entire salary regularly to the family.

        Day was descending to the end, irrespective of job fret he got worry perhaps has to asleep with hunger in the open sky. A long hard work and full dedication was unable to restore his respect and dignity.

Yesterday, that was the black day for him. His one inferiority made him totally disable. He doesn't know "Hindi".Top goverment official had arrived today to take dinner at their restaurent.He was chief civil body authority used to give permission for cafes,hotels and restaurant's licence.He was arrived with whole family of 7 members strength. Stefan was famous for his rude and rigid behavior. Concerns knew him as an unprincipled double-dealing corrupt officer.

So it began with shouting, interrupting, anger on waiter. He was complaining about delay and quality of food.Rama was looking from a corner silently, lost his patience and came up to safeguards his colleague.

Although, Rama was not aware of his designation he politely requested ," Sir we are providing the best and surely on time".

Stefan saw angrily he understood his weakness.it was time to show his power and ego.He shouted so roughly in 'Hindi'. He quarreled on Rama he will dismiss the license of restaurant.

Rama got speechless. Lots of word was out of his dictionary. Plenty efforts put he tried to convince him but he interrupted.

Actually ,he was complaining about poor infrastructure and ergonomics. All dialogue had thrown in hindi. Rama's speechless face made him more aggressive.

He left dinner with family and called owner by taking phone number from other staff. He threatened the owner he would close the shop.

Whether Rama could able to convince him by making some dialogue, storm could have avoided. So it was the end of Rama's hard work. It was possible owner would have invested some settlement money.

Dusk has started at the silence corner of beach. Emotions is getting more deepen in his shivering body. Sea waves is chanting loudly with collision at seashore.

Suddenly, a dark shadow appears at the farthest end of beach. Rama looks with gesturing  eyes at the shadow as crawling to him.Rama's mind striked and fascinated him.

He jumped along his side, 'Arvinda are you?' He had recognised him the person who brought him here. He had told him before six month; he is about to start another fancy store and he will appoint him to handle his shop . It was just near the same beach.
