I screamed on the top of my voice 'Where are you bike ?" .People who were walking by got surprised seeing me like this.One man asked me "what happened ?" I explained to them the incident . The man replied , " I see you were feeling sick yesterday and you remember parking your bike in the slot .
Taking a pause he started again "
You see according to me you must have left your bike somewhere in the middle of the road because the weather turned really bad last night."
I replied ," But I remember parking it ."
The man said in a seriois tone ," Oh I see in that case i think taking advantage of the bad weather and low visibility Someone stole your bike . "
I thought to myself ," Wasn't that obvious ?"
The man continued ," In that case lets ask the watchman ."
We went to the watchman.
I asked in a very serious tone ," What happened last night?"
The man pulled me gently and whisphered to me ," Let me handle it ."
The man asked the watchman,"Mr watchman were you there last night ?"
The watchman replied ," No sir . I was having a fever last night ."
I suddenly realised and asked a question to the watchman," Well just a few minutes ago when I was screaming loudly why didn't you come ? "He replied ," Sir I arrived here just a minute ago.I was late today because I was feeling little weak today."
I thought that he could be right.Even I was having a fever last night and i got well in the morning .
The man then told me ," Well you have only one thing you can do.right now that is going to the Police Station. Don't worry I will accompany you.Iam free today and i like such incidents."
I thought he must be a weird man but Iam not the one to tell because iam such a person too and besides it will be helpful if he remains beside me.
I thanked him and we went Police station and we Filed the complaint.
Though i was sad i was giving myself credit for myself for Completing the first step of a complicated process.Though it must be a normal thing for many but for me It was an achievement .
The man said to me ," Can I know your name?Mine is Jacobs."
I replied ," Iam Deb. Nice to meet you "
"Wow I have actually improved . "
I thought to myself .
"So Deb let the police do their job.Let us try to.search for the bike on our own . You may think Iam weird but iam you know .."
I replied ," Well i was thinking the same thing.I also like doing these out of the box things.Many people call me weird too ."
Joshep : Looks like we are the same kind of person.
Joshep put his hand forward.We shaked our hands and I said to him ,"lets show our detective skills to the thief."
Joshep replied ," Yeah , lets catch him ."
Suddenly I felt my worries replaced with excitement .
" It was a second hand Low price bike.So i should forget about bike and focus on the thief
and with my salary I can easily save money and can buy a new one in 3 or 4 months .After all i don't waste money like other people." I felt like thunder falling from the sky with our handshake as if it was a huge moment that could change the future altogether .
Suddenly all my emotional attatchment with my bike was gone and I was suddenly happy to get rid of that old bike . I know that is stupid but it was I afterall .
