"Why are you trying so hard?"
"'I don't know."

Evan had always been a man filled with ambition. He built his fate and made his way to the top IT company in India. But, one fine day, he resigns. Evan was always told be abitious and bold, the best of all and wise. But he decides to find his own way and  to move back to his hometown Gangtok, Sikkim. In his journey start, Evan gets a journal from a stranger. Soon, that journal became the textbook where his all answers lied. And, his journey? It was somewhere between fighting for what he wants against what he needs.

I moved back to country side

                         Evan was quiet. No one would get whether he was condemning with life, or embracing the present For he didn't know. He wasn't sad, nor happy. Seemed like, Evan was feeling nothing. "Yes, you may come in," Evan answered to the door knock.


                                          It was Hunter. He uses his little feet to run towards Evan. "Sir, Can you check the programming I wrote?" He said as Evan nods. Evan could feel Hunter's little grace on him when he was checking hunter's copy. 


Evan- "Hmm...You wrote everything right, but the Slash is wrong."


                                Evan passes the notebook to Hunter. 


Hunter- "Hehe. Sir, James sir told me to give you this."


             Hunter runs out of the classroom. Evan sighs as he opens the envelope. Inside it lied the picture of 3youngsters and an old man. They were none else than, James, Irenie, and a stranger. The old man was Evan's teacher. Evan looks behind the picture it had letters, craved on, 21st April 2015, Catholic orphanage. Suddenly, Evan feels a ringing noise in his ear. 


                     His falling on the ground was unexpected, like rain in February, and just as harsh. He tries to call for help, but couldn't move. His mind wanted to shout and ask for help, but his body refused. Evan slowly stopped moving. 


                            Evan was standing in a dark abyss. Nothing was visible other than a spotlight on Evan. Evan feels little fingers holding his hand. He turns to find, a little girl looking towards him. "Lacy...." Evan whispered, perhaps he was too shocked to see his....dead little sister.


                Lacy pulls Evan and starts to walk towards the other side. Evan just started at the cheerful girl's face, His eyes couldn't hold his tears back. He didn't care about where she was taking him, no he couldn't care less. All he cared about was, he finally saw his sister after years.


                                 Lacy stops running and shouts, "Look!". Evan saw Lacy and his teenage version singing a song,


                    "A look in somebody's eyes


                     To light up the skies


                     To open the world and send it reeling


                     A voice that says, I'll be here


                     And you'll be alright


                     I don't care if I know


                     Just where I will go


                    'Cause all that I need's this crazy feeling


                     A rat-tat-tat on my heart


Again those lyrics didn't fail to make Evan cry. But, Evan heard someone calling him. 


          he opens his eyes to find himself at a hospital, with sham crying beside him and James talking on the phone. Sham said "Evan-" but Evan again drifted to sleep.


What am I to you?
