The time was 4:00pm.
Rossy and Saggy were preparing evening snacks for Cole and Silvio, as they were expected to return from their school at any time.
Rossy was still disappointed since her daughter, Marin had not returned home. Though Marin had sent a message indicating that she was fine, Rossy was not confident. Her husband, Milan looked so glum and saddened. He too missed her daughter a lot. But more than that he had a terrible dream last night. He only knew what had happened in his dream. The persons who were killed by him had returned in his dream for revenge. To make matters worse, Marin had warned him that he had done a great mistake. He couldn't make out what Marin had meant to him.
Before the arrival of Cole and Silvio, a man rang the bell of their house. Saggy was the one who went to open the door. She opened it.
She saw a middle aged guy, with two huge bags in his hands which comprised sarees and blankets.
"Madam, I would like to sell some of these sarees and blankets to you." The man replied.
The man's appearance was completely absurd and he was wearing an overcoat, a dhoti and the most miserable part was his face. His face was black and there was a large mole in his right cheek. Distinctly he wore a blue turban and he might have belonged to Rajasthan.
Saggy ignored him and said, "Rahim! Why did you send strangers inside?"
Rahim was their security guard. There was no response from Rahim. The man said, "He had gone to the tea shop which is several meters away from here. He granted me the permission to come in."
Rossy too came near to Saggy to take a look. The both whispered something and the man took out some sarees and spread it over his shoulder and said, "This will be very beautiful for you madam."
Saggy gave a disgusting look at Rossy that none of them were beautiful. They didn't like any one of the sarees as there were no proper designs. They looked old.
"Sorry we don't need any of these." Saggy said. The man considered for a moment and took out few blankets from the second bag. On seeing those, Saggy thought' Those sarees are better'
"Sorry. We don't these too." Saggy repeated.
To their surprise, the man finally nodded and said, "Can I get some water?"
"Sure." Saggy said. She went in and Rosy followed her.
After a minute they returned and Rossy offered a glass of water to the man and he drank it swiftly. The man left and they closed the door.
The man went out of the gate and glanced at the security, Rahim lying breathlessly away from his seat and if anyone entered the house, he wouldn't be spotted by them. The man was responsible for all this.
The man walked several feet away from the house along the pavement. On his way he kept the two bags of sarees and blankets and continued his walking. He didn't bother about those. Because he was not a saree seller actually. He took out his blue turban and threw it. A mole which was in his cheek was not real. It was just a sticker and he removed it too. He got his old face again. His name was Lima. He was working under Fatan Khan.
He took out his mobile phone from his coat's pocket and dialed Fatan Khan's number. Fatan accepted the call.
"Fatan I've completed the job." Lima said.
"Cool. Have you placed the plastic explosives with the correct timing?" Fatan asked.
Plastic explosives. Fatan had got the plastic explosives from his smuggler friend and ordered Lima to place it in Franklin's house.
"Yeah. I have set the timing at 7:30pm. I've got just a minute to finish the setting."
He placed the plastic explosives in Franklin's house when he asked water to Rossy and Saggy. He hid the explosives in his bags and placed them at the apt time.
"Good. Thank you very much!" Fatan exclaimed.
"You're welcome. When will I get my commission?" Lima asked.
"Tomorrow."
"OK." He said and cut the call.
