Zaxi

Wanna come with me?

"I have come here looking for ma'am Gaurie. Can I see her?"

"I have no contact of her after the bomb blast. Mostly everyone say that she died during the blast saving students. But her body was not found." Said the professor, who survived the blast.

It's been a week since I lost everything. Everything to me was my brother and he left me. I tried to find Hanna but she was missing. No one knew about her. And as far as ma'am Gaurie is concern she has become a mystery.

And as of that dogs Zaxi I am not sure whether it was really there that day or it was just my imagination.

My parents' house is in my name now. But I don't want to live there anymore because everything, every corner, every room had memories of him. I wanted justice for him. But this house is only thing he has left me, so i am not going to leave this house. 

But that dog and that time when ma'am died in front of me, keeps flashing to me. She said it was her fate and she already knew she was about to die. How was it possible? She definitely knew something about it. And as far as the dog is concern no one knew how it came inside the building and where did it go.

I made a few calls and got to know where ma'am lived.

I am not the girl who would sit in a corner and cry all day. I won't stop until each and every one responsible for my brother's death and the death of all the innocents that day would be punished. I won't kill them but I won't stop until they are righteously punished.

But my first step would be to find ma'am Gaurie.

After a long walk I reached an apartment, which said belongs to Gaurie. I knocked but no response. I opened the door and walked in, the windows were open and so a lot of dust had entered through it.

The floor was covered with dust, but it had footprints of dogs on top of them. I moved towards the windows and closed it one by one. And then followed the foot prints of the dog, I was sure it belonged to that dog, it belonged to Zaxi.

I walked towards the kitchen where the refrigerator was open, and many food items were dropped on the floor. I closed the refrigerator and moved towards the room. The bed was clumsy and in between was a figure. The room was dark so I could not exactly say what or who it was. I walked silently and switched on the light.

The same dog I saw that day lay on the bed weak and looked like dead. But it was breathing and its eyes were wide open, but it did not respond to any movements I made.

There was a laptop beside the bed. I moved towards it slowly and slowly grabbed the laptop and left the room. I could take no chances with the dog, he could just come and bite me.

I sat in the living room and switched on the laptop. The desktop picture was of the dog and ma'am together. Both of them were very happy in this picture. No wonder after ma'am died he has become like this.

Many folders were open, I went through all of those but nothing.

Nothing new, there was only official mails about the school and about her part time job. I never knew she worked for a library as a part time job. Her house was well furnished and she was rich but I found no reason for her to work as a librarian.

The last folder had a number of images and videos, mostly of the dog. Every stage of the dogs growth was recorded either in the form of video or images. I had no interest in it, but something was strange about it.

Why was it so particularly recorded with so much detail?

I copied all the details and some mails in my pen drive and as I moved towards the door I found behind me. It was the dog.

The dog was still sad and depressed but it somewhat followed me.

I felt sad for the dog, it lost his only family like me. But I knew nothing about dogs. I never even gave a thought about dogs.

I held down and looked towards the dog, the dog came to me and sat down right in front of me and looked at me straight in the eye. We kept looking at each other.

"Wanna come with me?" I asked.

He waged his tail which I assume a yes. And we both walked together outside. As I was about to close the door I found a number of mails for ma'am. Suppressing that I did not see it before. I took them with me and moved outside and walked towards home. It was evening and the sun was almost about to set, the view was awesome but my mind gave it no more attention.

We reached home. I opened the door and kept it open for him to enter. The dog stopped all of a sudden and started barking. Strange dog I said to myself.

The house was dark due to insufficient light. I switched on the light, and then he walked in. Maybe he was scared to walk in as it was dark and the place was new to him.

But couldn't dogs see through dark?

I shut the door and quietly walked inside. Suddenly someone came behind me and shut my eyes.
