Hearing Nagpa's voice, I jumped up on the bed. Wiping my eyes, I looked to the side and saw that Mr. Haldar and the Colonel were not there. I was surprised. Where did they go?
I asked Nagpa, "Nagpa, I don't see Mr.Colonel and Mr. Haldar . Where have they gone?"
They went out for a walk.
They like to see the morning scenery in the hilly area. And besides, today the sun is as red as blood in the sky. They went out to see that scene.
I quickly got out of bed and freshened up. Then I asked Nagpa again, "Do you know where they went?"
Yes.
Where?
He went to the steep hill in front of our house. I left them there.
Why didn't you call me then? I used to go with them to see that beautiful and beautiful scene.
I called then. But you were asleep. You did not hear my call.
Well, all right. Take me there now.
You can go. Not far. That mountain you can see.
Nagpa came in front of the door and raised his hand and pointed to the mountain.
Then Nagpa said, "Baijanti is a little better today. I take her with me and arrange some food. You go and have a look."
So what! Have you been successful?
Yes.
I was very happy to hear.
Then I came out.
I went up the mountain by the slope of the mountain. I see Mr. Colonel and Mr. Haldar sitting looking at the eastern sky. Even though the wind is cold today, it doesn't feel that cold. Because the sun has risen today. Again, the fog is not visible. However, it is very difficult to tell the duration of the sun in mountainous areas. Who knows when he will hide his colourful face behind the clouds?
I also went and sat next to them.
After a while I said, "You left me and came here?"
"Yes. You sit too. It will be very nice. After a few days I got such beautiful sunshine. So I am sitting for a while. It feels good to sit in the sun," said the colonel.
Why sit here in the sun?
Sitting here is enjoying the view and the bright view outside is also beautiful. And besides, it is not possible to get such beautiful sunshine anywhere else except on the mountains.
Of course he is right.
Hmmm!
Mr. Haldar said, "You also sit and bask in the sun. Get warm in the heat of the sun. Today we have to return home."
I was very happy. But there was a pain in the heart.
I don't know when I will get a more beautiful mystery and solve its mystery. Now I don't like anything but mystery. Even so, I resigned from my job to investigate the mystery.
I love anything mysterious right now. Before hearing about mystery or ghosts, I felt fear. No more fear now. It feels better now.
A lot of time has passed to think.
The colonel said, "What's the matter, Jayant, why are you so quiet?"
I am already silent. I wonder when I will leave the house again to explore the mystery.
Mr.Colonel and Mr. Haldar smiled after hearing my words.
Mr. Haldar said, "One who used to stay away from these mysteries, now says when to leave the house to search for mysteries."
Again they laughed.
I thought of hiding my face in shame.
They really said it. Earlier hearing about my secret was very scary. But now my fear has subsided after encountering the mysterious incident with the colonel.
We sat there for a while and chatted. Such an opportunity is not available anymore.
I listened carefully to get an earful. Then I said, "That Nagpa must be calling us."
Mr.Colonel and Mr. Haldar did not hear Nagpa's call.
The colonel said, "You heard wrong. Nagpa did not call us. You are delusional."
I also thought that maybe. So I kept silent without saying anything.
After some time Nagpa's voice was heard again.
He says, "Colonel, come down."
He started shouting loudly. His voice gradually became louder. I realised that he was also climbing up the hill and calling us.
This time, however, Mr.Colonel and Mr.Haldar also heard Nagpa's voice.
The Colonel said, "Jayant, you were right. You heard Nagpa's call. And we didn't."
Well, let's go now.
We looked up and saw Nagpa appearing there.
He gasped and said, "Since when have I been calling you. There is no response from you. Let's eat. It's cooked."
"Come on Nagpa. I'm very hungry," said Mr. Haldar.
We went down the hill to Nagpa's house. I went and saw Vaijanti sitting with food. We all sat down to eat. Food was given to all of us. But Nagpa is still standing behind me.
The colonel said, "Nagpa, why are you standing there? Come and sit here. We will eat together."
Nagpa also sat down.
We all sat together and had a lot of fun talking and eating.
We all finished eating.
I sat there for a while.
Then the colonel got up and said, "Nagpa, now we have to leave for home. You know we have a long way to go. Come with me this way."
The Colonel called Nagpa and went inside Nagpa's room.
After a while he came back with a bag in his hand. There seemed to be something in the bag.
We called Vaijanti and Nagpa's mother and left there.
Nagpa followed us to the car.
We all sat in the car. The colonel started the car.
I suddenly looked at the front mirror of the car and saw Nagpa looking at our car. After a while he disappeared.
Our car drove for 5 hours and 34 minutes.
The car had to stop midway to fill up with petrol.
Finally we reached our destination.
