Perfectly Mistaken Life -part1

                                                             CHAPTER 1

1st November 2005

As beautiful as it seems, so furious and terrifying it is too. The slik and wool, the armour of the winter, is merely a joke before its anger and brust. Above all, the ice, the hunt -no matter whether a big game or small this pain-cum-pleasure is worth experiencing. The lovely bride on her wedding gown is a small piece of it's beauty's reflection. Over years, it is as it was and it's certain that it will be so till the end of time and the edge of human race. There is no heart which can stay not beating fast after seeing it and there isn't an eye either which can keep its sight away from her. She, so called The Alaskan mountain peak is another wonder of nature.

‘It was my worst decision of life to agree with you, freak!’ I told angrily to Xavier.

‘Hey you! Are you too mad on me, Claire?’ said Xavier in a slightest bit of fear in his quivering voice. 

‘See! Joe is overreacting.’ Continued to say when she didn’t respond to Xavier’s former question to her.

‘You bloody FOOL! , don’t you dare to tell him that he is overreacting’ finally Claire said something and again supporting me for God’s sake; furiously though.

‘It’s you Xavier who planned to camp nearby North peak. I was suggesting it to be near McKinley River and we could have easily come here by my car, you hadn’t forced us.’

Now, there was a silence for about five minute, but the Alaskan wind was introducing its fearful and bone-chilling cold as well as the roar. By the time Claire shouted for me, I was a bit sure that I had done something really stupid or terrible, god knows what.

I approached her with a gentle smile on my face and within no time my eyes enquired the whole tent and it was okay, by okay mean- there was not a single thing wrong that I could be got blamed for. And yes! Somehow I too managed to ask her if she was okay. ‘you really are asking me if I’m okay!! Can’t you see, you dumb?’ seeing me that I still have not figured out what’s wrong, she continued ‘ well! How can you?’ with a bit of sarcasm. ‘ I should not have ever come with you here in the first place. I even wonder if you know me at all in these ten month and seventeen days of relationship.’

Wow! I was shocked listening that time details and was saying myself ‘for the last twenty-five years I was with my parents and nanny and still I don’t know what they thing, then how in this fucking world could I know- what she is thinking!’. I continued to think ‘Shouldn’t she tell me directly what’s her problem, rather insisting me to find it out like I was born to be a detective. She sh.....’ , I couldn’t think anymore as she yelled saying ‘ You shit! Are you listening to me?’ and She didn’t bother to listen anything I was going to say.

And there was this awkward silence.

‘I am sorry, dear! I should have known earlier what you are going through.’ I told her and my inner me was like “DO YOU REALLY KNOW?” I was like ‘shut the hell up now, she might suspect’ and to my fear she did but was happy that I apologised.

She was going to say something that we saw Xavier coming inside the tent.

‘If you guys are done blaming me and also with your non-sense, It’s going to be dark soon’, said Xavier ‘and I don’t think we have enough wood that can uphold the whole night’s fire and I think this night is going to be tougher.’

‘Oh Please! don’t tell Joe was tasked for it.’ Claire responded to Xavier with a smirk underneath knowing that it was really me.

‘yeah, for Christ’s sake he was. I should have gone instead rather letting this dumb-fuck to do this small task.’ Xavier replied to Claire but undertone he was beating me verbally, but physically didn’t hit me or scolded on my face, because he was sure that I wouldn’t do it, if he does so and instead he would have more task to do as he can’t let Claire to the job.
