Chapter 23 - Nostalgia

The doors went close and our breaths seemed struck in our throats. Luckily, one of the person escaped and signaled for help. We were hiding under the stairs. I felt my pulse rate increasing. We all were praying to not get caught. After sometime, the sound of footsteps vanished and with tip toeing we came from under the stairs. We switched on the torch and looked around. There were cells in the whole room. We examined every cell but all of them were empty. Suddenly, we heard some faint voices, we went in the direction of those voices and there were numerous people in the cells. They seemed weak like they were here from a long time and even when we went near them. None of the person asked for help. They were all half unconscious. As we were moving forward, we saw a cell that was empty. Some of the people went inside to check it for any clue but found nothing. When we were going back when one of the person saw a piece of a torn cloth. We took it with us and decided to go back as we had not find something that would be of help for us in the mission.

We went back to our dormitory and that piece of cloth was sent to the forensic lab for the identification. After some more practice, we were sent to rest . I went to my room and started thinking about the hole thing. I was still confused of that number and why it was helping me. I took out my mobile and messaged that number.

"Hi

After sometime, a message popped on the screen

" Aren't you going to sleep?! Your room lights are still on! "

I was stunned and quickly looked at each corner of the room if it has any camera but to my disappointment, there was none. Another message received saying

"There are literally no cameras in your room."

I was panicked and asked

"How do you know?!"

And received a message that was

"Stop panicking and sleep. I have my own ways."

Even though I was really shocked but there was nothing I could do about it and let it be and went to deep slumber.

Next morning, we all were summoned at the big hall for the further action. The cloth piece from yesterday was shown and there was a symbol of 👁️‍🗨️ was on it. The head told us that it was the spiritual symbol but they were unable to understand anything from it. The study on that was going on to find anything of help. We were given the free day to walk around the city to collect the information about the things here. I got changed into normal clothes and went outside.

The weather was pleasant as there were clouds in the sky and leaves were rustling and cool air was giving the fine touch to the atmosphere. I was walking down the streets when I remembered something. Whenever I got annoyed by wind because the dust always went inside my eyes and caused irritation but he always said

"Windy days come to blow the cobwebs from the soul and reminds you that you were alive right there in that moment of life."

And I used to see him as if he was a mad. The dust still went in my eyes but now it didn't feel that much itchy but my eyes started getting wet. I was laughing like crazy through tears. Passersby people were looking at me as I had gone crazy but I was happy to let it out. Still memories won't seem to let me go. The sun was about to set so I decided to went back as the wind had got intense. I was walking fastly but then a paper got on my face with the air. I took it and saw him. He still had that pretty smile and he was looking dashing in the traditional clothes. I stared at it for a good time but then tore it and threw it in the air.He was indeed successful in the eyes of world but his hideous truth was still unknown to the world. When I came back, I was called for dinner but I refused it and went to my room as it was necessary for me to calm this heart down.
