POV ~ Garrod Lusitanus.

That's basically me, myself, lol, lmao

Knock knock
Sorry, who are you?

"They behave like a stranger to me.
Probably because
I think they are strangers to me.
I did nothing wrong.
They made me do it...especially someone."

Oops, come in.
Want Water?
Have a drink instead.

These were my favorite lines, I remember telling them to every person I met frequently, very frequently, or often during my college days.

It's more like a password for me at present. So if you utter this many lines, yes we meet in the past but I don't remember you now because I have a memory of a patient suffering from Amnesia. Sounds Weird?

Right. Just say it.
Accept me, because that's the reality and you know it's harsh.

It was raining cats and dogs last night. But over time the scenario was different, the rain stopped in the morning.
But Sun might have already made up his mind to neither wake-up today nor send his rays to us.

And also the big black Cloud took over the complete sky. In short darkness everywhere, the dark clouds, the dark pollutants, and my dark life.

Now you may think I am a Jobless person, unemployed or so. This all resembles me completely, ok even I agree. I mean a synonymous comparison of my life with darkness.

Today's date is 23 November 2025.

The earth has witnessed many changes since
I started my medical studies in Havard, Boston. I entered MedSchool in 2018 and graduated in 2022. And a year of bond service till 2023 & After 2 years of Post-graduation studies and after completing my exam and awaiting results, Here I am in 2025 a single step behind to become a junior doctor in some private clinics.

Wondering who I am? Introducing myself again.

Hello, I am
GARROD LUSITANUS, 25 YEARS OLD.

My name is quite old. But I am not so. My relatives and some close people often call me Garry.

I may have slept with half a dozen girls in Boston but now all of them are married why am I single? I never felt attracted to them though no one can give me that butterfly feeling or make my heart skip a beat except for one...she was Emmie...

Probably because I never felt the need for one after falling for her.

Recalling my past I didn't remember making good friends here in Boston. Maybe I am all alone here.

The results are 2 weeks away. I was tired of reading those medicine books.

Thinking about this I finally decided to go to a bookstore of my non-medical friend Miller Holton. We are friends because we have a common hometown in California.

His shop was amazing as always olden furniture with Dusty racks, Sometimes I think he has a much happier life than mine. I usually spend my free time there. I managed to get into the shop even though it was raining in the Winter season.

Entering the shop my shirt was still a little wet even though I carried an umbrella with me thanks to shaky winds. Why can't just be rainfall straight?

I was welcomed by Miller, the owner of the bookshop, with a smile he further inquires what I wanted. I told him about buying a good book.

"I will give you 50% off. Just let's do our daily business acting" Miller chuckled hesitatingly putting forward his eyebrows and holding my hands.

And I was prepared. I just wanted to act like I was buying an expensive book and telling other customers to buy it too and describing it as amazing, goosebumps came over my body, and all that cunning lines to attract other customers to buy it and profit him.

I took that book in my hand. And I wasn't even interested in reading the name of the book.

Walked toward Cashier, that's Miller and action began as soon as 4 customers gather around Cashier for buying cheap books.

"Miller, I want these two books, but I couldn't find another piece, don't tell me it's just one left," I said loudly to attract everyone's attention.

"No. It's right there near the corner"

"Thanks"

"Second time buying, Dr.Garrod for what? You brought them last week for reading. Right?" Miller responded

"The story was so interesting and painful that I read it once, and I can't stop crying. Goosebumps were all over my body. I referred to my friend and they said they wanted to. As a doctor, I think such books are inspiring" I said it all in one breath.

At the end of my lines. One parent started gossiping with his daughter " See my love, you want to be a doctor take that book that Uncle is also a doctor he quotes, that it's motivating"

Wait he thinks of me as an Uncle excuse me I am 25 and young too.

Another customer "What's the name of that book? " he asked me. I looked at Miller for help. I was speechless because I didn't have any idea before I could turn around to read the name.

Miller replied, "How I fell for my Ex."

"Oh! When was it published?" The third Customer asked

"Last week. It's an Indian writer. The writer is a doctor too" Miller replied to their curiosity

"Oh! Wow, I want one" they pleased.

With my acting, I attacked 4 customers and 7 later. They all brought that expensive book. Later I searched more than 100 books but none were perfect to read.

So many were very boring, Overdramatic, and Out of genre, and it was almost 6 o'clock and darkness had taken over now.

I walked close to Miller, bending on his bench, letting my face rest on my wrist balanced by my elbow. "Hey, Miller I will come tomorrow to buy something" I muttered.

"Why not today?" He uttered

"I couldn't find one also I am bored to find one, "I said seating on his chair when he was busy with his computer.

"Wait I will send you a link. It's an online reading app Wattpad. It has amazing books and there is one author who just wrote one chapter but she is all on trending, MSLS is the name" he said sending me the link of the story.

"M... S... L... S"I repeated

"My
Stalking
love
story.
It's a California author too. It's her first chapter and she crossed almost 10k views. Must read it "

I had a strange reaction to his last line. For the first time, I thought he was forcing me.

Was he?

And I left the shop, and on my way home through the beautiful city, I enjoyed life.

I cooked and live in Apartments by myself. Mom and dad send me some money every month even though I get paid by the government.

Then Rain began again with thunder striking louder and louder every time and the electricity was gone then. It was complete darkness. I turned on my mobile, clicked on the link, and started reading.

I scrolled up and looked for Author details, the profile pic was not set, and neither was Bio written.

My hand began to shake like anything, I almost died, tears rolling down my Jawline, was I crying? My heart was in a state of Tachycardia, with my mouth steel dry, and hyperventilation. I didn't dare to tap on the Read button.

I called Miller

"Hey! Miller." I scoffed "About that Ebook, you told me... MSLS. Why is the name of the Author not mentioned? Where the fuck is a bio?"

"Because they don't want to share? That's simple. People have privacy too" That was Miller's reply, unlocking the open lock.

"I know that dumb head. You read that first chapter what about the second chapter? " I asked him

"Yeah, maybe this Monday or Tuesday. Garry, I am a little busy can I call you later? Sorry" he ended the call and the lights came back.

My hands began shaking as soon as I touched or opened Wattpad. I couraged myself to open it and read what next it has for me.

To be continued.....
