Chapter 5 - 3.2 Aftab's Allies( Part 1 )

I was wondering how would be my life at Ashutosh village with my new grandparents better to say only grand dad because old lady won't be liking if I called her grandmother 😂. I went to their home with them ... It was bit far from other houses . the environment was very serene and it was very calm everywhere.

Grandpa said , So your name is Aftab right . " Yeah " and you are originally from Hingoli state and after listening to your story I feel sad but don't get disheartened after every bad night there's a new day waiting for you ... Words were enough to bring a new charm at my face ...but but I still miss my mom 😭

So from today onwards you will be working with me, you will be delivering the packages and the important documentation that I am obliged to deliver at different households in this village. Is it fine for you? ...

I had lot of questions in mind but I said " Yeah " ...

So he said good then it's time till dinner you can roam the village if you want and also it will be beneficial for you from tommorow onwards to get familiar with routes . I thought maybe it's better to roam and get to know more about this place and also old couples are weird but still they are kind .

I started exploring the village and in main market region I bumped with a group of boys ... They were clearly locals of Ashutosh Village... I shouted , " Are your eyes at the knees . " " Hey! Sorry dude it's just an accident" ... I saw that face as it apologized to me ... This boy was seeming something of 15-16 of age and yet he was having a good physique and also got a handsome face . His robe was muddy that might be due to constant running all over the place at such a rainy day .

"Just an accident you say , you careless pathetic wizard?" I rebuked ... " Sorry, Sorry " was told in response in soft tone by this handsome wizard...

"By the way who you are never seen you before " the boy muttered. I told him " I am Aftab . I recently shifted over here . " Ohh ! Seems that way ..." I am " Vardhan " the most popular person in this village and the whole group of friend laughed at that moment... It might be true that guy is handsome but that he still seems to bragging about him . What a waste of time ... my life really sucks

So Vardhan , you popular man bumps with everyone here and there ... " No - No !😂😂 You seems to be funny person Arman, hahaha " ... funny and me now this is funny I told and wait my name is not Arman I am Aftab ... okok got it is Afdab ... It's Aftab 😭... I want to kill this boy .

All were laughing with him . You shitty brats what so funny about this ... Vardhan told , "I told na you yourself is funniest... " I was so irritated with this group ... I thought that old lady is better than this fleet of shitty brats . " So , are you exploring this wonderful village of ours . ' Wonderful ' you say to me it's a just a small village without any further reckoning impression. But it is better than the previous one .

Previous one ?;, what do you mean quotioned by the boy from the group whose name was Reice I suppose . "Yeah ! ". With displeasure in my eyes.

They didn't enquired further and I didn't mention anything rather . So , Aalap wanna join us and explore together ... Vardhan was the one to say this.... I had enough of this boy at this point I rebuked have you really got a brain of rat or do you do this intentionally you bastard...

" Hey man what's wrong with you ?"

" What's wrong with me , don't you understand my name is Aftab not Arman , Aalap or Adaat ...

Aadat , you said 😂😂 you are really a funny guy "

" Listen , before I kill you brats just leave me alone for God's sake "

All of theirs face turned tensed I guess I said bit extra . But it wasn't my fault that shitty pant Vardhan don't know how much I have faced and he is just irritating me . They all looked at me in a gaze as if they are going to eat me . It's upto you do what you like but being confronted by a friend in a new Village is invariably a alluring feeling....Said by a girl standing to next Riece her name was Vaishnavi. What the hell ... this irritates me she has the same name as my mother ...

I am all good alone and I parted the ways with them ... Vardhan didn't said anything after that ... not that I wanted him to call me one more time but if he would have I might actually walk with them to explore atleast ... Anyways what Vaishnavi told isn't wrong even I know.... No one called me they all went back...I turned back seeing Vardhan was still standing... I was shocked to see him ... "If you ever need me , Aftab ! I will be there " ... Wait a sec why all of a sudden this boy , and what the hell is with him , he just offered a something anyone will tell to a stranger but somehow I liked it . Moreover,he called my correct name this time . Who is he ?

I said him, " Like I care " but I actually cared for those words ... Listening this he smiled and said Aftab you are interesting guy and he left with his group ...

I ate my dinner that day hoping it had not been poisoned by the old lady . Luckily it wasn't. Next morning , I woke up in the morning at 5:00 A.M..

I saw old lady was working in kitchen and old man was awake as well. I got habituated of waking up early due to my life back in Zaveri Village , where In order to take care of horses and cleanliness of the area , I was forced to wake up early .

" Good Morning Aftab ! " . I was wished by grandad.

" Morning " ...

" You know that we will be starting our work starting from today , So freshen up yourself fast "

I guess delivery early this morning doesn't make sense , but if someone is fulfilling your basic needs of food , clothing and shelter .... I shouldn't complain

" I will be ready to start In a hour "I told .

" Good then .I will check final preparations "

I got ready by 6 and was presented with breakfast ... ofcourse having breakfast at this time is too odd ... but something is better than nothing. I didn't complained and ate my breakfast. Ofc old lady and her mean look is same not to mention again .

So , Aftab this are the boxes and parcels you have to deliver .

I saw some boxes and letters in the hand of the old man ... I asked curiously, " So grandpa , are you royal postman transferred to this village" ... No , my child ... you should never question elders ... but since you are curious yes I am somehow connected with 'Royals and leaders ' and if you don't like this job tell me now so I look for any other means ... I can't go by myself delivering this stuffs in this age .

I told , " I will do it ."

"As expected " ... I have written all the addresses above the cover . You can check ... And one more thing never ever dare to open them ... it's highly official stuff and if it happened to fall in wrong hand we may be sentenced to ' Death penalty ' .

' Death penalty ' I was shocked but I said okay , I would never watch ...

Good , my boy we will be waiting you for dinner. told the grandpa and I came out of the house taking those stuffs with me .

" So , aren't you bit rude to tell him about death' penalty" ...

" You think , if you ask me , I can say it's you who don't behave good with him " ...

" My .. my why I am always the one to be bad you old man " ..

" Darling" ... we have to be realistic...

" Otherwise, no fool like this will ever trust us "

" Still next time you will be the one to act bad "

" Okay , sweetheart let's expect this fool to complete his job properly and we can flew as soon as possible"

" It's just been a day since we came and we will be already leaving "... " This Village is sure small but it will only take time for us to be divulged , we will flew as soon as our job is done " ...

" You still act young " ... My sweet old husband...
