Somebody I Used To Know Ft. Slayy Point And Tirth Parsana

The Symbol

Abhyudaya's POV

The school's just got over and now I'm packing my bag. I got late because of some formalities in the school (as I'm a new student). I pick my bag and walk towards the exit gate of the school. I'll have to walk to home today as my cycle's punctured. It's just a ten- minute walk to my home from school. 

I have a choice. Either I take a shortcut or stroll through the long way. I decide to take the long way cuz the weather's pleasant. Wind's blowing, leaves dancing, just the perfect romantic weather. So now I'm walking through the mini market (which is closed for now, but why?)

There's a sharp turn at the end of the road. But I stop. I heard something.

Gautami's POV

"Who are you, and how the hell do you know me?" I asked, a bit frustrated. 

One of the men dressed in black demounted the bike and started coming towards me, slowly. I did not take long to realise that the person's intentions were wrong. I stepped back. But the other person behind me grabbed me by my shoulders.

"No! Just leave me alo..." He gagged my mouth. The other person in front of me took out an injection(why!?) from his satchel and got hold of my hand. He was about to inject the stuff into my blood when out of nowhere, he entered, just like a superhero in my story to rescue me.

Abhyudaya's Pov

"Stop troubling her!" I scream but as soon as they see me, they run return to their bikes and speed away. Gautami stood there helplessly, watching them retreat. I go to her to comfort her.

"Are you OK?"

"Yeah, I'm fine. I..." her voice trails off as she looks in another direction. "What's that?"

She points at the road. 

"What?" I ask her. Soon, I notice a sparkling little thing lying on the road. I walk upto it. This is a bracelet. A silver bracelet with a cross on it.

"Might belong to the person who tried to kidnap you."  I said.

"Kidnap me, ha!" 

"What, they were almost successful."

"They could never have done anything to me."

"Why? How can you be so confident?"

"Because this bracelet belongs to the one and only Tirth Parsana."

"Tirth?"

Oh yes! I remember having seen him wearing that bracelet the day he attacked Gautami in the class. But there might be many such bracelets.

"Someone else might also have the same bracelet as him.."

"FOUND IT!"

"Found what?"

"The extra small detail, Abhyudaya, you have a computer or a personal mobile or something?"

"Yeah, I do."

"Look at this. I want you to research on this symbol. I've seen it in some documentary before."

She pointed at an intricate pattern of triangles on the bracelet, they weren't just triangles, they had and oval kind of shape on them....

"Helloo? Where'd you go?"

"Nothing. Fine. I'll do the research for you."

THE NEXT DAY IN SCHOOL

Abhyudaya's POV

I am sitting at my desk, still waiting for Gautami to come. I have some exciting results from the research on that symbol. I was toying with that bracelet when someone tapped me on my shoulder.

"Gautami, see what I've found..."

But it wasn't Gautami. It was the last person on earth that I had expected to turn up in school today. 

Tirth.
