Chapter 6

I woke up amidst strong smells of dettol and ammonia. I knew immediately that I was in a physician's place. It gave me strong memories, those of a certain head injury sustained getting down from a running bus. Shreyas had asked me to get down from the running bus with him, and I did, to get a hard one on my head. That evening was very eventful in my life considering it was when Shreyas actually became very close to me. Remembering this, I started looking for Shreyas. He wasn't to be found. Where had he gone?

I called for company. Entered a man, slightly old, wrinked skin, but a face of benevolence. It gave me a lot of peace seeing him. He talked to me in a very soft manner, and he told me Shreyas was admitted to a nearby hospital due to more serious injuries. 

"But, how did I get here?"

"My students found the both of you hurt and lying near the Cooum river. They immediately admitted Shreyas in the hospital, and let you in here for immediate aid."

"Oh ok. So, he is fine. But, I need to find my girl. Where is she? I'm taking leave now."

"Find Avantika? Oh no. I cannot let you take leave now. I need you to take some rest. You are very badly hurt, and it is against the ethics of a doctor to let someone in this condition out. I cannot leave you go."

Saying this, he went to the door and shut it close. I was aghast. I needed to find her badly, very badly. I was leaving this place immediately. I searched for a computer. I thought if I could track down Avantika's sim somehow, I could go search for her with a direction. I found a computer in the room, and I immediately went googling for a software to track down sims.

 

Suddenly it stuck me. Hey, did he say Shreyas? But how did he know the name?? Fine, I must have told the name. Then, I went working. But then, a couple of moments later, how did he know Avantika's name? I most definitely did not tell him her name. Something was wrong. This guy wasn't good. He wasn't on my side. He definitely knew the all of us pretty well, and was acting to fool me. They were going to damned kill Avantika. My Avantika!! I would not let this happen. This man, in the guise of a physician has been cheating me all the while. I need to set scores right. In a fit of rage, I took the nearest piece of iron I found nearby, a mace, and proceeded towards the ground floor of the guy's house, to bash him and then escape the place. All that was running on my memory, was to find Avantika and Shreyas. 

I reached the guy. I was standing right behind him, without his knowledge. He was going to be relieved from the painful cycle of life, and I was going to relieve him. I wished his soul all the best, and lifted my mace, when he fell to the ground with a deep shriek!!
