The Devil’s deal.

Part 1

this story is about a guy who was quite occupied with stuff around and to him the 24 hours seemed less, he would always wish he had a body double so he could be at two places at the same time and he thought this would solve all the problems of his life.

A normal day in his life.

He woke up at around 6:30 in the morning to a call from his friend who is his room mate in the hostel:
phone conversation :
Friend: where the fuck are you ?
Him: I am still at home, i still have somethings undone. I can’t be back unless I am done with them.
Friend: what the hell you promised me to be back on 16 and yet you are not here and I am here alone, come as soon as possible.
Him: yes I will and I am sorry.
He felt as if he dodged a bullet and slept again but the phone rang again and this time it was his childhood friend. His friend asked him with great authority(obviously he can do that after all they have been friends for 5 years now) where are you ?. He said i am sleeping listening to this friend replied with a bold tone in his voice I don’t feel like going to college today, I am bunking let’s go play dota in the cafe, he promptly said a yes, but his eyes and body narrated a different tale. He couldn’t get up so he closed his eyes for sometime and unfortunately went to sleep. He wakes up at around 9 and the first thing he does is text his girlfriend a good morning and I love you, gets up washes his face has a hasty breakfast that consists of 2 banana’s and a glass of water though he so badly wanted that cup of coffee but he couldn’t afford the time that takes to prepare and enjoy one. He was about to step out of the house but then his dad comes and makes him run an errand to the bank, he reluctantly accepts that and runs down to the bank, he is waiting in the line and his phone rings again it’s his friend who he was supposed to meet at 8 but it’s was already 10:30. Bank thing done, he runs down to the cafe and before entering he takes a 5 minute smoke break to slow down the pace of things for sometime. He enters the cafe and finds his friend playing.
Sam: dude you were supposed to be here at 8 and it’s 10:30 now
Him: I am so sorry I overslept(he lied he has only slept last night for 4 hours, trying to write a essay for a friend’s college assignment)
Sam: chuck, wait now till I finish my game so we could play together.

He spends his next 35 mins sitting there on a creaky chair though his back still hurts but he didn’t complain and damn his phone rang again, it’s his mom this time. Mom with a very sheepish tone ” where are you ?” he replies ” I am out and i will be back soon” and that’s when his mom reminds that they had a doctor’s appointment and they are supposed to leave in an hour”. Another thing to remember, another slot filled on his schedule. He somehow finishes the game and leaves in 40 mins and there he goes again taking a smoke break, slowing the pace down. He finishes his appointment with the doctor and had to rush back home as his dad called in sick and mom had to be at her job place. It’s 12:40 and all this time, his girlfriend was worried about how long would he take to come online. He comes back home at around 1, eats something and takes his pills and gets back to the uncompleted essay. He spends around 3 hours and somehow manages to finish it. He gets up has a hot shower to fresh him up, and there goes his phone again, damn his ringtone is really getting on my nerves now. It was his another friend they wanted to meet him as he stays out of town for studies and they haven’t spoken to him since quite sometime. He says he will be there in like 5 and then he gets ready and heads out of the house again, he remembered he promised to call his girlfriend.( why the fuck won’t he just throw away his phone and sit quite somewhere).
He calls his girlfriend to hear that you are late and don’t have time for me, it triggers him for a minute, he cut the phone and i am amazed he did that. But then his phone rang again and he started speaking the normal way and I should have known that, he is speaking on the phone his friends is here and someone is calling him too. He grabs a smoke again, I am sure someday he might die of cancer! and people are going to regret it. His second are more dear friend arrives and with a lot of authority asks him to cut the phone, though he keeps on talking for another 10 more mins and then politely asks his girfriend to hang up and promised to come online in 10-15 minutes.

His friends wants him to stay with them for an hour as their classes are at 8 and he agrees to do so even though he knows he won’t be able to keep the promise made to his loved one. ugghhghg his phone rang again and I feel the need to throw away his phone somewhere, he won’t find. It’s his aunt this time asking him to come home as she had some work on the laptop and couldn’t find her way through, he somehow kept her waiting and then at 7:30 ran home. He texted his girlfriend and sat with his aunt to find her what she wanted, he is a bit slow in replying to her and she seems annoyed about it.  He is quite good at multitasking cause he seems to do stuff on the laptop, text his girlfriend and keeps his nephew and niece entertained. Now he and his girlfriend had a fight and now he seems a bit disturbed. But then his mom wants him to get some medicines from the pharmacy and he somehow gets up and does that too he comes back and decides to sit on the laptop and listen to some music. He has his phone aside and I am happy about it but then there comes one of his neighbor, she wants him to copy stuff from a  pen drive to a phone and he does that and there goes his phone again. It’s his friend again and they called because they are done with classes and want to smoke with him, and there he goes again storming out of the house apologizing to his dad and saying that he would be back in 10. He comes home and finds a few messages from his girlfriend which read ‘ you can take a break from me for sometime if you want’ and that breaks his heart and I can see the pain in his eyes.

who am I you ask ?
I am the devil and I am about to offer him a deal this night!
