"We've got one second option also." I said after Anwar replied to Neil.
"What is it?" Neil asked. Everyone was standing, surrounding me.
"Okay," I shifted to the edge of the chair, "Maa and Papa go to a temple on every Tuesday at 7:45 p.m. in night. They never miss going to temple, even if any crisis comes, they go. We'll use that time to get inside the house and grab the important papers Anwar is talking about."
"I'll go there with some of my agents." Anwar said.
"No, I'll go there with Zai-," I paused, "with Ayaan and Neil." Nothing daunted me by the thought of going back to the KIDNAPPERS' house.
"No, it's not safe for you to go there." Anwar and Ayaan said in unison.
"Where will you find the documents?" I said. " I'm sure that I know where they are."
"We'll call you on phone." Ayaan said. I knew that arguing with them was of no use so I agreed.
"I'll also come with you." Shrey said.
"Of course not, Shrey." Said Ayaan.
"I'll grab my car, give you a fist bump and go. I promise." Shrey said. He brought a brief smile on the faces of Neil and Ayaan.
...
It was Monday morning. I was sitting expressionless on the same chair on which I was sitting on that very same day when Zain got admitted. Zain was still in coma. Someone from the male staff was inside Zain's room. He was giving Zain a sponge bath.
Ayaan, Neil, Talia Mom and Anwar were at home as they had stayed at the hospital for the whole of last night.
Shrey had come over to be there with me. I'd put my head on Shrey's shoulder. He was doing something on his cell phone. Probably new cell phone. The corridor had a strong 'hospital malodour' which is hated by everyone.
"We are done with it, you both can go inside." The person who was there in Zain's room came back and said.
I stood up and went inside the room with Shrey.
Zain was lying on the bed, motionless, with his eyes closed. Every time I looked at him in his such condition, my heart ached.
"Hey , Zain." Shrey said . "What's up?"
"Hello Zain!" I too said.
I was looking at him in complete silence.
"Irr, when is Zain going to recover? And especially , when is he going to come out of coma." Shrey said.
"Nobody knows. The doc says he's recovering a little." I said. Shrey nodded.
