CH - 13

"Where had you gone ?" She asked when I approached her from my bike .

The world was filled with shade . Not because of some Dragon type of sort . whose evilness has prevailed but because the cloud had made the sun disappear .

Behind her was the San park . The same place that I told her of . I was feeling a bit headache . I was just rushing from a place to another as if , I was getting paid for all this .

The only thing I was thinking was of that boy . What mysteries lie between him and the boy .
A large story is going to unveil itself in a day or two but I should not try to make the duration short .

" important work ? " I said . Hiding the truth .
What ?I am not going to tell her that I am spying on her .
don't I remember the day when she let me in ?

"Let's see " I said ,more to myself .
"You told me to stand here and disappeared ! " She said .
Oh ! I had thought to think of an excuse before time but my mind was too busy revolving around that boy .

"Ah.............aaaaaaaa..................."
"Where had you been " she asked .
Unknown of what I was thinking of .

"Went back to home . I had forgotten my................ papers ! Don'd we need to show it to them " I said .
"Oh . yes , we need it " She said .
"Reliefed "I said ,slowly to myself .
"What ?" She enquired as if a bomb blast has taken place .
"No. Nothing ! " I said , almost a reflex to the question .

'A hammer struck my head and it started working ' I had geared people talking about . I thought it wqas fake but I was wrong . A hammer can't but a question can .
"But where is that office ?" She asked again .
"Oh there it is . Near that mall . Come with me " I said .
And we started walking towards it .
I again a gold medal . I would have gone to olympics if there existed any game to make excuses .

Actually, I think I have any super power of realizing things beforehand . I was talking of a bomb blast and ....
"Again terrorist attack and this time they atriked an NGO . " A voice came from the tv as we entered inside the bansal institute .

" these terror attacks are increasing day by day " someone said from the crowd .

" My brother is one of them " I said inside my mind .

Actually I had not thought of him since months . I remember that how frequent were the thoughts when I came here .
But this actually proofed that I have successfully accomplished my mission of forgetting my past .
Suddenly someone pushed me by shoulder and I was able to hear "fog chal raha hai "
The tv was showing advertisements but the thing that was worrying me was, that swati was gone .

I looked around walking here to there , there to here between the crowd but she had just turned invisible .
Not like a hollow man from the sci-fi movies but as like a normal person disappears .
And as I was recieving signals from my sense organs , a sound was transmitted to my brain saying , "the name of the NGO was dreams NGO
...............................................

"Swati " I asked as I approached rajiv through the green paved path between the garden . In a corner I had seen a room , whose interiors were no more interiors and with a black tint of bomb explosion .
I was not able to see it completely as a whole hard of reporters were assembled around . And their hand were in the same state .
"Thanks god , the room was just a store room . " he was saying to his colleagues when I asked him the question .
"I don't know she hadn't came yet " he replied . Such a reply disappointed me to a certain bit . Where has she disappeared .
I didn't want to do any more chat . I just turned back and approached my bike .
Let me call her . She May not had seen the whole news and May be searching for me in bansals .
I called her and a girl replied in a very gentle voice , saying "the number you have dialled is not reachable at the moment . Plz try after some time "

"WTF" I said . I was really tensed now.
I kicked started my bike and hurried home .
....................................

As i approached the door lock , I saw that it was locked .
Where has she gone ? My head , almost cracked with pain ' repeatedly asking the same question to itself only.
"Thack ..Thack Thack..Thack "
Someone is approaching . "Maybe swati" , i guessed .
But it may be the police coming to enquire about the attack . The reason of such a thought was the fact of me being a Pakistani or my brother being a terrorist .
The same reason exists if they are terrorists rather than an inspector .

I leaped and hid behind a table . Someone may have kept it between the stairs to throw it out because of no use but that uselessness was worth for me .
This is what that world resides in . A world full of uses and full of components having its own use .
Something might be a waste for one but is of big use to another .This table may be an obstacle for some people but not for me .
But as I was thinking of this behind the table while hearing that sound of footsteps , that dark night again struck my mind .

It was like the great wall of China for me and for them too .The difference was that I was standing in the forest , trying to go to the other side , making the wall an obstacle but they were on the path of the wall , and for them , the wall was not a obstacle but like a fly over making it their benefit .

The footsteps were coming closer and finally reached the wall , I mean door .
She was swati . Now see my imagination . Though my first thought was correct , my mind didn't leave me till I reach a more dangerous topic .

But when I was about to come out of my place ,
"Ah ah .....Ah " the sound of swati was heard . She was crying and the crystals of clear water were clearly visible .
I had never seen her crying . Yes , I had seen it when she was angry with me . But , that time it was just a quarrel and today , it is real sadness .

She entered her house while I sat here doing nothing . "Better to follow her inside " saying this , I went in .
As I followed the path of her cries , I found her inside her bedroom . I kept peeping inside just to know the reason but she didn't utter a word .
She was as still as a stone and the only movement was of the water in her eyes .
After a minute of silence , she picked up her purse , took out the wallet and started fumbling her hand inside it as if counting the money . Satisfied , she hung her purse on the shoulder and started outside .
In a flash and like a flash , I moved my body to hide behind the door and saw her going outside .
"Does she need money ? " I thought . Her hands , folding the papers one by one  And meanwhile ,her lips saying them show that my thought is legit but crying for money doesn't match up with Swati's type of thinking .
So , I rushed after her but yes , without being noticed by her .
.............................

I parked my bike outside the walls of the so known "Apollo hospital " .
The name was clearly visible due its silver plated letters and the sun was also contributing to the shine of the capital .
But I have no time to think about as I was seeing swati walking inside the hospital . I was wondering 'why will someone go to hospital after seeing a  explosion . '
And it was not hard to think of it .
Without wasting much time , I entered too .

She was not running but walking . Walking a little fast but then also , it was slow . But inspire of such condition , I was unable to catch up with her due to my consciousness to minimize the force exerted by the feet to avoid making sound .

So , I started checking all the floors one by one .Now , Instead of following , I was searching .
And this time , I was running without thinking of sound .

After 10 minutes of exersice , i sat down . However tensed a man be , he cannot fight against the body . The body was unable to catch up with mind .

And as I was sitting unconscious due to my body's dilemma , someone called my name .
"Who is that ?" I said .
"You got the message " She said .
I found myself sitting just beside swati . What a coincidence . Unconsciousness did the work , which conscious was unable to do .

" What message " I asked , looking at her wide eyes .
"The message that I sent you . Didn't you get it "
I was still looking at her with that amazes look that amazes her a bit .
"Then , how did you know that I am here . " She said .
Now , I needed to do a fast calculation. What can be the message , whose absence will stop me from coming here . Answer was obvious .
"Oh , that message " I said loudly , giving the best expression and sounding more realistic than reality which was not real at all .
"Hmm............." She made a sound without opening her mouth .
She was not talking much . As much I know him , she is a very talkative girl. Not a girl , with an extraordinary power of talking nonsense but almost moderate type of girl .

And when , you see a river flowing backward , understand that something is not normal .

As I moved my glance to the top of the door near by , I saw a a bulb whose outer cover was painted red and the most terrifying words written above it . There was no reason to think of it as I already know what has made her come here . And I had known the reason before seeing the red thing above .
This silence that swati has started was like endless but the reason of her sadness was very clear . As I looked at her eyes , I noticed that they are more wet than required .

I should ask her directly that who is that boy but I am too shy to do that . I was really curious to know when a sound came from my pocket .
"Ting ting "

I hurriedly took out the mobile as I was expecting it to be swati's message. But I was really expecting very much from these telecom companies .
I had never felt anger for telecom operators before, inspite of that buffering style but this time , I was really angry .
"Ting ting " I heard just as I was about to put that mobile back into the pocket .
"Are they listening to my thoughts " I thought when I saw swati's message in the inbox .
'Unconsciousness did the work , which conscious was unable to do .' This was not a daft or thought but this is happening with me frequently today .

Hey fardeen , sorry for that ..................................................................................................................................I have actually came to the hospital as a child of the NGO was injured by the attack . So , I need to care of him .................... .........................................

I skipped reading the middle parts but I was shocked that she is hiding about that kid .
I should not be shocked at it . She ,May be , is telling the truth . But seeing her crying for him and collecting money for him is not what you see people doing for strangers .
