The bell has rang to broke my calm sleep. I am forced to open my eyes. I can see the watch lying on the table next to me. It is a perfect noon. And still 4 more hours to go. Now what am I supposed to do with so much of free time? I am already getting bored ?
Perhaps, I am going to spend my time thinking of my glorious past, just as I do every other day. It was when I really enjoyed every moment of my life, the time when I was proud to belong to my master. The time when he worked, and took me everywhere he would go. I could see so many places, meet so many new people. ? Get wet in rain, enjoy the breeze. Sometimes even bath in sun! Those were the happy days of my life.
I remember the time when my owner’s grandson had come. He had taken me on a date! I very vividly remember, he took me to a five star hotel! And his girl…! She was so beautiful! I couldn’t take my eyes off her! But anyways, she never realized it and thankfully, even he didn’t. Otherwise he wouldn’t have taken me on beach with his other friends! ?
The owner still likes me and tries to take me out. But there are no more new places to see, no more new faces, or beautiful girls to meet. ? The same old garden, same old (literally) people and their lame jokes. That too just twice a day. It is once in the morning at 9 and then directly in the evening at 4. And if at all it is raining heavily or the sun is too hot, he prefers sitting home and watch TV. In fact I am of no use to him except, as a support while walking and to frighten off the street dogs.
So, there is nothing much to look forward in life. It is just me and my friend, Mr. Wristwatch, lying on the table, wondering what’s going to happen next in our lives.
