He walked back; dazed. She returned inside and fell on her bed. Sense of happiness held her aloft. She was floating! He was experiencing the same! But he also felt, he was cruising towards an unknown foe on a cruiser with no captain to steer it. However didn’t want his fears to consume the luxuries he found in the cruiser… He loved her too. He had thought hard about it. Only one thing came to mind; her serene smile. It came from the deepest part of his heart. He knew that instant that he loved her…
He was crossing an intersection with no traffic at all. He was lost in thoughts and was too busy to notice the two men who had been following him for more than 10 minutes. When he crossed and entered the section of road darkened by the shade of the dense leaves above, one of then men walked past Shiva and turned around to face the other man coming behind him. Shiva veered instinctively and saw a large man coming towards him. The large man was angry. And his eyes were bloodshot. Probably because of heavy drinking!
Shiva walked backwards till he hit the other man and stopped dead on his tracks! He felt weak. He felt he couldn’t do anything. The large man came and caught him by his throat. His grip was like that of a steel vice! He was choking Shiva! And he also talked something in Hindi. No! It was not Hindi! It was something else that sounded like Hindi. What he was saying didn’t matter. He was beginning to feel dizzy. He was running short of air. When he finished talking, he released Shiva. He coughed and his vision was blurred. By the time he regained stability the two men had disappeared. Who were they? What did the large man tell? What did he do? Why him?
