Speaking Tree

 "Everything is living, it's just own us, how we lively we feel or just how we live.", I just read out this line on a billboard and ignore it like a pro just to make myself feel more cool. After all I am going to a party, that too without anyone, I mean without family only friends. Hush! Why this traffic today!  (*Blowing horn)

A business party with added old friends. Heaven...oh this is going to be interesting. 

"Almost after half an hour I reached here.", I said to Rohit while enjoying party. 

"It's a business party, so no family clause was applied.", he responded back with a big hug.

And party started soon, with just not only office talks,  we all started enjoying with colleagues away from some seniors. Music was slow but right now DJ is doing his job well...with dance and some other talk as they were serving all kind of drinks with delicious snacks in such a beautiful place. 

Me and my friends decided, not to drink as when it comes to drinking, we are able to stop ourselves. 

But when we start we all drink hard, we just dance on the tunes of our moods. I am happy for my upcoming projects with increment. 

(*Phone rings...)

As I pick up the call, I hear one of the most sweet melodious voice, my sweetheart, my darling, my wife.

"Hello, jaaneman... Missing Mee ehh...", I said and try to flirt with my life. (*Smile on face)

"Where are you now! And please if you have been drinking opt for cab. " , my lovely wife said.

"Oh you don't know me! I am the superman, I can handle my cape, don't worry I will be at home safely.", I said and hang up the phone as I want to reach home and hug her so tightly so I can crush all of her fears. Oh I love her so much. 

Soon we all start saying bye to each other when it comes to leaving that place i was the only one who doesn't opted for a cab. Everyone else is gone and I start looking for my car keys which are in my pocket.

And I fall! (*Scream)

"What happen ?", my wife ask in worry. (*Shaking my arm)

"How I came here?", I said with surprise as I remember last night very clearly.

"What happen?", she asked again and I start narrating what I witnessed last night.

 "I clearly remember that night with stars and a talking tree!", I said.

"A what?", she asked.

"Just listen.", I said and again I start narrating everything...

I was looking for my keys all I remember and then...

"Where are they ? Hey man do you see my car keys ?"

Nobody reply...after some minutes there was a laugh. But all I can see a pole which was not answering me! 

So I ask "do you have my car keys! If you then give it to me or you have to bear my rage.."

Again a laugh this time for longer minutes. So I start walking towards the direction of laugh, and I tripped I fall on ground. And that voice say

"Look all, one who can't walk says he can drive .."(* a loud laugh*)

Me:"who the hell are you? Bloody @#%%@**" (*angry)

" Hey kid mind your language, elder one is talking to you" another voice (*in a warning tone)

"It's okay my child, he is drunk "(*laugh)

Me:" first I am not a kid second who are you guys why I can't see you!" (*Irritated)

"We are infront of you", they all screamed.

Me:" then wave !" (*I start walking away)

I was about to faint when that oldest or tallest tree raise his branch and say "hey I am here, do you want everyone to wave at you"(giggle*)

"What the f*** ! This is not true...wake up veekram you are sleeping bro!", I talked with myself to calm myself.

" No veekram, I am talking to you.", the Tree said to me.

Me :"how it's possible, how you can talk?" (*Shocked)

Tree:"yeah same story goes with you, you can't walk properly and you are saying you can manage accelerator and break of your car while handling stearing!" (*Concerned voice)

Me:"oh i can see..." ( *fell on ground)

Tree:"hahahah...see kid I will agree with if you just climb on me, then I will take my each and every word back" (*laughing)

Me:"fine I can handle this..." (*Irritated)

I climb on it,and then he said "now do you see"

Me:"yes I can, it's so beautiful here I can touch the sky you see" (*surprised)

I was about to fall from that tree when one the branch handle me.

Tree:"see kid touch them but don't try be a part of them too soon...your family is waiting for you in your home stay here with me." (*Concerned voice)

"And bird chirping wake me up in the morning. Again I wanted to talk but they don't .Yes I spend a night with ' talking tree.' and he teach me a great lesson about don't drink and drive please. I talked with a tree, Jaan. I talked with them. They all talk. ", I said to my wife in a very concerned way like I am just trying to prove myself in front of her.

"Okay okay, just rest, you need rest. A cab dropped you here. I think you have mistaken his voice with trees!", she said while trying to stop her laugh. 

"No I talked with them, no in fact with the oldest tree of that park." , again I exclaimed.

"Fine yaar just rest, and here's your lemonade. I told you not to drink that much. But you never listen to me...", my wife start her favourite thing yes the correction needed in me. While I keep looking at trees outside my room window as they wave like that friend who love to tease his friend who is in principal office.

But trees do talk.
