"Pratap" I said.
"Yes"He turned and when he saw me, he was taken aback.
"Ravi, you!"
"Yes me"I said with a smile.
"You.....!"He dashed in front of me and hugged me tightly.
"You're getting soaked"He said when we split up.
"We're getting soaked"I said.
" Oh.. wait a minute "He walked to his food corner's kitchen and pulled out three large umbrellas and a few chairs.
Guards were seated beneath one umbrella, Alan, Mr Tushar, and Aunty were seated under another umbrella, and Pratap and I were seated at the farthest distance.
"The eyes were longing to see you,so you've been bathed in the colour of wealth"He said looking at the guards.
"That was left to say"
"I was just telling the truth" We laughed.
"Wait,I'll bring you something to eat"
"Sir"
"What Walton!"The commissioner shouted.
"Sorry, sir, a visitor has arrived who wishes to meet this prisoner"The officer said.
"What!"
"Sir, he has orders from headquarters"That officer handed a paper to the commissioner, who looked at it for a while before saying, "Call him".The officer left the room.
"Well who's coming?" Prisoner asked.
"You see for yourself he'll be here soon"The commissioner said.
"Okay I like surprises"The room's door then opened, and the officer and a man entered, he was quite young, wearing a three piece suit;he also had a recorder in his hand.
"What's up guys "He said with a smile.
"Who are you?" The commissioner asked him.
"Maybe it's written about me on that paper,still I give my introduction;my name is Binit,Binit Kumar Singh.I am a writer and I want to write a book on this prisoner"he said pointing at this prisoner.
"What on me!"
"Except for you, I don't believe anyone else in this room has a story."
"Well,after such a long time,something good is happening in my life"Prisoner said.
"And you don't have to be concerned; I've heard everything you've said thus far, so you may resume where you left off".
"Okay so wait how did you listen to my story you were not even here" The Prisoner said.
"I was listening to your whole story from the security room".
"What security room !"The prisoner said.
"By the way, the recorders in this room aren't very good, and the camera quality is terrible; you should replace them"Mr.Singh said.
"So there are concealed cameras and recorders in this room, and I had no idea" The prisoner said angrily.
"There was no reason to reveal anything to you" The commissioner said in a firm tone, "And if you're here to listen to the narrative, sit quietly and pay attention because only one person can ask questions in the middle of it, and that person is me"he continued.
"Okay..okay no problem,I'll be quiet in this room like I'm not here;so can we start now"He said.
"I don't think anyone is going to bother us now, so you can get started right now" The commissioner said.
"So I... "
"1 second,sorry I forgot to turn on my recorder" Mr. Singh said.
"Don't do it again" The commissioner said.
"So I was thinking about what happened today.The rain was so quiet now that I couldn't hear it.That's when " Ravi.. Ravi!"Pratap said loudly.
"Yea" This disrupted my thought process,Pratap was looking at me with hamburgers on his hands.
"Your favorite"he stated as he handed me a hamburger and sat on the chair in front of me.
"What were you thinking about?" He asked me.
I told him all the things I wanted to share with someone who would listen carefully to me, whoever it mattered.
"Did I have done right"At the end, I said.
"It is not you who decides whether you did it right or not, it will decided by your fate" He said in a firm tone.
"Maybe you are right"I took a big bite of my hamburger.
"I forgot to tell you, a girl came to meet you yesterday, and I gave her your new address.Her name was Pris.. Priscee.. "
"Priscilla" I corrected him.
"Yes Priscilla you met her" He said.
"Yea"
"So, who is she?" He asked me.
"An old friend" I said.
"Ohhh"
"What's the status of the rest of your life?"I asked him.
"Nice and you know"He told me about how he taught Penysia ohh sorry Peny to cook and how his oven was burned as a result.It seemed from his words that he was very pleased with Penysia.
It was slightly raining now.
"We must leave now"I said.
"Okay but wait"He ran to the counter and came to me with a white packet.
"This is some hamburger for you" He said.
"Thanks and that's not enough for me, you have to bring more to my house" I said.
"Absolutely" I hugged him.
"Take care" He told me.
I started my car.I dropped Mr. Tushar to his residence and then we reached my house.Aunty seen the house with wide eyes,"This bungalow is yours?"she asked me.
"No, I got this as a residence from the company"I said.
"If your uncle was there today, he would be so proud of you."
"Aa.. I'm leaving since I have some stuff to do.Both of you please sleep; don't wait for me; I'll be late."
"Where are you going at such a late hour?"Aunty asked me.
"Office work has to go Alan, take care of aunty"
I said and came out of the house.I got into my car,
For a while, all I wanted was serenity.I started my car and stopped it outside a bar whose name was 'Royal bar'.I was also accompanied by my security.
Maybe I needed a glass of scotch.I went inside the bar.All the bar lights were dim,people were dancing to the sounds of a party music.I took a seat at the bar and placed an order for a butter scotch.Then I observed a girl dancing on the dance floor who was quite attractive, with blue eyes, black hair, and a green party dress.That's when I noticed two folks who appeared to be a touch tipsy messing with her.She appeared to be upset.I got up from my seat and reached the dance floor.
"Leave her alone" I said in a firm tone,because I was a stranger, that girl was obviously surprised to find me there.
"Hey leave!"one of them told me.
"Leave her alone,I will not repeat"
"Get out of here"I was pushed by one of them, "look like you wanna fight with me, you wanna fight with me" he grabbed my collar.
"Enough"I grabbed his hand and hit him hard in the face,He collapsed to the ground and began screaming.His partner was a little taken aback when he saw me.My face was flushed with rage.
"Guards" I said loudly.
My guards ran on the dance floor.
"Throw them outside the bar" I said.The guards picked them up by the collar and took them outside the bar.I went back to the counter,bar tender gave me my drink;I had just raised my glass when "Hi"That girl came and sat on the tool next to me.
"Hi"I said in a lazy voice.
"Thanks for your help,but I did not need your help, I would have taken care of myself" she said.
"That was something I noticed."I said, she smiled and said,"By the way,I'm Sanaya Sanaya pins".
"Ravi Huxley" I said.
"Nice to meet you Mr. Ravi,well what do you do, no;
I just wanted to know because if you have guards, then I going to meet a large man."she said.
"I'm the manager of TAIS company"I raised my glass and took a sip while saying this.
"I think you need company, hey;a vodka please"
She took a sigh from her glass and,"You're sad, right"
I said nothing.
"and a little angry"
"Will you please shut up"But I shouldn't have said that.But it didn't matter to her, she was still smiling.
"You can tell me if I can help you at any point because you have helped me, and I don't like to anyone's favour."
"Okay",She drank three glasses of vodka while I was telling her the full story.I'm not sure why I told her all of this; perhaps it was because she was so attractive, or perhaps it was because of the scotch.
"Did I have done right"I had got the answer of this question from Pratap but I was not satisfied with that answer.
"What do you think?" she asked me.
"What?"I can't understand what she was trying to say.
"What do you think,you did right or wrong" she said.
"Maybe right,I guess".
"Then there is nothing to worry about,see it doesn't matter what others think, what you think is important",This was the answer I wanted to hear.
"Thanks"now I feel a little lighter.
"I must go now, I am getting late.Well nice to meet you"she said and got up from her tool.
"I will drop you" I said.
"Don't worry, I have my bike"She said.
" Ohh.. ok then"
"Ohh wait" We shared our phone numbers.
"Hope I will see you again" She said and left the bar. I also came back to my home, everyone was asleep. I went to my room and made my phone silent because next day was sunday and I didn't want disturbance.I lay on the bed,I don't know when I slept.When I opened my eyes in the morning I saw that there were 12 missed calls on my phone,that too from neha ma'am.Again something bad happened but what...
