Rahul is standing in front of the two doors. You will wonder what those doors are. One door is made up of Wood and it’s clean. Another door is made of metal and it’s full of rust. To those people who wonder, why the heck he is standing in front of the doors, the reason is,

Rahul is a guy who has lots of confusion’s in his life. He is a kind of person, who never ever takes a decision on his own. Even when he was a kid, his mom and dad used to choose everything for him, they will never let him to choose anything, thinking that they are doing the best for him. But that is the mistake that his parents did. His parents never allowed him to do anything on his own. That later affected his future life.

He was dark with curly hair. Life is really not like old movies and stories. People now a days started loving dark people too.  Rahul had a huge fan base in his school. One day, he was confused that he loves doggy style or pretzel dip and ruined a sex, actually his first sex. The pretty girl with red cheeks left the room, unsatisfied and entered the next room, and enjoyed a threesome. Later Rahul realized that the thing that proves that he’s a man is taking his own decisions. But he really didn’t know how to really correct the mistakes their parent’s did.

 Rahul became the M.D of a big company. Even there, his father says him what to do. As his father was the wealthy, he made him the owner and used him as a puppet.

After some days, he met a strange person. He was sitting near the dustbin and he was checking his money. He was looking him for some time. That person was not even looking like a beggar. He was neat and clean. But Rahul wondered why he is sitting there.

He watched him for minutes and slowly moved near him. He walked closer to him.

In a minute he felt like someone hit him from his back. He closed his eyes. And he just heard some voices saying, take him to the room. He felt some one pushed him in the car and started the car. He slowly opened his eyes. He was tied up. He saw everyone in the car was wearing a mask. The car was really not that cheap.

 He tried to talk. He asked where they are taking him. They never replied for anything. They were totally silent. He felt something really different.

 For the first time, he was really not confused. He sat simply and listened to the song playing in the car.

The people with mask took him to the basement of an old building. The old building was really terrific. It was really dusty. They took him inside and made him sit in the floor. And they stood in front of him. Rahul asked them that who sent them. They stood still. Rahul was keeping on asking them. They never opened their mouth.

Rahul finally understood who did this. He thought that it was his colleague Ramsay.

Ramsay was a good man. He loved working with Rahul. He was the one who is in charge of the entire accounts in Rahul’s company. They both were good friends, until one day. Ramsay was accused of illegal activities inside the company, by the lady supervisor in their company. Rahul was sure that he is not like that. Ramsay was with Rahul when he started the company from scratch. But Rahul is a person who doesn’t even know to take a decision in his life. He asked his dad, he said to take Ramsay out of the company. Even though he knows that Ramsay wouldn’t have done that. He fired him. He was not even able to face him. Rahul started to avoid him. He even felt that he took the wrong decision, but he never tried to talk and ask Ramsay about that accusation, as his father was really firm to take him out.

This incident made Rahul think that Ramsay would be the person behind this kidnap.

When he was thinking about this, a fat man came front of him and carried him like a baby and pushed him into a room. That room and that alone feel inside made him feel different. It showed two doors. He felt weak, he felt drowsy. A wood door which is clean and a metal door with full of rust. He opened the rust door. He saw himself standing in front of his dad and listening what he is saying. He turned to his right, he saw Ramsay smiling at him, and he couldn’t take it. He ran back and tried to open the rusty door again to go out, but it was locked. A voice said him, “be a man, a man takes his own decisions”. And he heard Ramsay’s voice, “You should’ve talked to me!” He felt really guilty. His face was full sweaty and tears from his face and he pushes the door like an animal. The door opened. He took a deep breath. He just thought that whether he should open the Wood door. As usually, he was confused. But the miracle in his life happened. He stopped thinking whether to open or not, he just opened it. He saw a life, where he was a man, taking his own decisions.  His dad was not his company. Ramsay was talking with about the issue. He decided to Go deeper into the wood door.

A big sound came outside the dark room. Rahul opened his eyes and understood those doors were his dream. But he knows what to do now. He realized his mistakes.

He felt some one was coming to open the door.

After a few seconds, a man with Knife entered the room.

The man with his big arms removed his mask. And in a base voice said, Happy birthday!

The big man showed brought him to the light. And there was a big birthday set up in that old building. There was his dad standing at the corner and saying happy birthday. Those people who kidnapped him were his company staffs. They happily celebrated his birthday.

Everyone was having drinks. Rahul was sitting near his dad. He said, “Dad, I love you. Thanks for this surprise things. This half an hour in that dark room taught me lot. I need you to take rest dad. I want to be a man. I will take care of the company. I don’t want you to think about me and this company always, I will take care.” His father was surprised of his words and he said yes.

Then Rahul called Ramsay. Yes that was really tough for him to bring him back for a talk because he avoided him more than a year. At last, Ramsay came to talk, and the lady who accused him, said sorry and it was a mistake. Thus, Rahul realized life is so simple, every big problems comes to an end when we talk, though it was not easy to console, Ramsay. He literally, fell on Ramsay’s legs and asked for sorry. Ramsay didn’t expect that. He cried and said he will take the job again and he said he loves him a lot. It was not difficult or bad for Rahul to fall in his friend’s leg, who was in all his difficult times.

This is the story of Rahul and the two doors.

And finally, I know everything and I’ve said everything happened in Rahul’s life because,

 I’M RAHUL!
