Aspects of Life

Aspects of Life is a new novel which is about the life of Alex and Rose, and how it changes in the various phases of life. I have completed it, and now set to be read. This was inspired from my own life, to be frank. It is one entertaining thoughtful story, and here is one small excerpt from it.



Alex entered the room and looked around. There was a bed over which was the window that opened to the garden below. At the corner was table lamp, and near to that was a writing table. There was also a nice chair present.
“Do you want any drink…or something to eat, Alex?” asked Martin Alex replied, “No! I’m good. I just want to be alone.”
“The function is at 8. So…what’s your range….18 or more?”
Alex looked at him. He knew what he meant. He laughed and replied, “I have a girl. And she is more than enough to trouble me. And yes…I need the time.”
Martin smiled and replied, “In that case, let me take my leave, Alex. I have some works to do.” He walked to the door. Before closing the door, he said, “Your girl is very lucky to have you. Actually, you are one of a kind.”
Alex simply smiled. As he went away, he went and locked the door and looked back into the room. It was much as how he wanted. He sat on the chair with his head bent backwards. And he thought at once. Actually, you are one of a kind.
He thought for once. “Am I one of a kind? Am I the one they are looking for? When I look back in my life, I find myself nothing else other than a fool, a loser…a dreamer.”
With his closed eyes, he could see them. Rose bent forward to look at his closed eyes. Mr. and Mrs. Robertson smiled at him together. Billy turned his head away. Gillian walked away. Sarah simply laughed. And Ellen walked towards him.
