Waiting and no more wait

Let me tell you something, it's a normal world. Yes, it's earth, year 2019, month July, time 9.33 pm.

Pamla finished his smoke. He looked up at the calm night sky. Yes, now it was calm, the lightning and thunder had been long gone. Few stars were visible. ✨

He was going through the things which just happened, in his mind. Reviewing his actions. Thinking about other possibilities. What could have happened if he would have taken slightly different actions.

Andrew was gone for his affairs and Pamla don't know when he will return. So his only option was to wait and prepare himself for various possible upcoming situations. For starters he could revise up the original Harry Potter books. And many more things can be done in preparation.

This kept going on for some time. Then he stood up. He thought ' let's go down, it's getting cold here ' and started walking towards the stairs. He suddenly felt that he has stepped on something, so he tried to shift his weight on his other foot and took a step back. He looked down to see something circular....ish disk type thing. He bent down to pick it up but stopped midway. And started thinking to himself ' it's not mine and it wasn't here when i arrived first. Then only left one option that it belongs to that wizard. But if it belonged to him then how come he forgot it here? He did not seem to be a careless person to me. Then again it wasn't here when he fell from the sky... I am not sure about this one. Maybe it fell with him and happened to fall away from him, that's why I did not find this on him. There is another possibility that it appeared magically here or someone is interfering with this situation. Well whatever... Question is should i touch it ? Hmmm.... I have already stepped on it and nothing happened, so it should be safe if i pick it up with my handkerchief '.

So, Pamla picked the thing with his handkerchief and tried to observe it.

' hmm it's possibly a old type watch, in which there is a cover and to watch time one has to press on its top ' observed Pamla.

" I should not meddle with it for now. Let's put it in the pocket for now and will explore it after making some preparation" Pamla said to himself.

He went downstairs to his room. After coming in his room, he brought out the watch from his pocket, still in handkerchief. Put it on the table. Then thought to himself ' what should i do now? .. .. Let's see, i am free for few months till September and there is not much to do except going to college. Which is not that important after all it's a government college. If i inspect this watch there can be a number of accidents that can happen to me..... one of them that this watch is a portkey and the minute i touch it, i will be gone to god knows where. Although no one will miss me that much atleast for few months. But it will be inconvenient for my family and friends, if i am to disappear suddenly. So i should make some arrangements. ... other possibilities can be of time travel and that would be proper fuck up. So it's better i write some letters and messages, so that people can know what has happened with me.'

After thinking till now, he lifted his diary again and wrote down about his situation and the various possibilities he could have thought of.....like time travel or going to unknown place but in the same timeline. Then he tore these pages and folded them up and put in a envelope. He wrote his family address on the envelope and his mother's name. Glued shut the envelope and put it in the drawer. Then he updated his status to ' not available, busy & researching' on whatsapp, Facebook and Instagram, so that his friends can know that he is not available for them.

After doing these things he thought again ' is there anything left to be done? .. Let's suppose it's a protkey then i might appear in various places. So let's prepare a bagpack. What should be taken? hmm.... let's put few clothes, some dry food and a knife?? 😅 Yup, these things will do. And ofcourse a sleeping bag.' And so he prepared his bag for his supposed journey.

After his thoughtful and meticulous preparation ( Yes, hahahah only joking) , he was ready for the great fucking adventure.

He wore a tracksuit with sports shoes and a hoody. Strapped his bag on his back. Then looked towards the supposed watch on the table.

" Om namah Shivaya" spoke Pamla and touched the supposed watch and ...

nothing happened. He exhaled a breath which he was keeping in. And thought to himself ' okay... nothing happened. So let's fiddle with it'.

He opened the watch. It was old but still in working condition. And by working condition i meant its glass wasn't broken and it wasn't rusted. It was of bronze color and obviously i do not know it's material ( atleast for now, yes , i am author and i have power. If i say it's silver then it will be silver and all that power shit. So for now it's material is secret 😉).

He looked at the time and found that all the arrows were at zero position. He touched the knob at the top of watch and ..... nothing happened. He tried to turn the knob but it did not budge. Then he tried to push the knob inside and viola..... he vanished. Yes, he was no more in his room. His room was empty.
