The Nabeel Girl

Episode 3 Scene 5

"I am going to Bangkok next week. I will apply for the Visa day after tomorrow. So, actually I am going to stay there from August 28 to September 1 for a workshop. However, I will book a ticket with return date of September 8. After that, I will take a copy of the ticket and a visa stamped passport to police. I can then have a proof that I won't be in the country for 12 days. After I reach Bangkok, the first thing I will do is contact the Thai Airlines and shift my flight to September 2. If the date is not available, may be on 3rd. By doing that, I will be back in country by 3rd, and then be there by 4th of September. I will then have 3 days more time to be with you and sort out something. I will not keep my phone open until its 7th. I will buy a separate Ncell sim and you can call me on that number. Make sure that you do not open your phone and don't even access your email. They can easily track you, if you do that"

Sure! she intervene.

I will be there for three days to know the whole issues and understand the whole fucking story.

Will that bring any solution, Anjila? she spoke in an emotional voice.

Do we have any option? I replied.

There was a long pause.

Ok!

Now, it is not a good time to speak a lot. Put yourself as disguise as long as you can. You are criminal for police, I spoke.

I am not a C...., she paused

May be she realized, speaking word "criminal" in a public phone could be dangerous.

She changed the topic.

Phewww....

She exhaled pretty huge amount of air.

See you then, after few days, I spoke.

Ok, see you, she replied.

I felt something heavy in my heart.

I could compare myself with Arjuna of Mahabharat where he was in war with his own teachers and brothers. If he won, he would win the whole kingdom and if he lost, he could even lose life.

I was in similar dilemma.

If she was right, I still didn't have any proof to protect her and if she was wrong, I was about to get fooled one more time which would make me appear like helping a Criminal-I could be on blacklist of the police.

Criminal records damage careers.

I thought not to share the whole issues with my friends. That day, I went to the Ncell office and bought a sim card.

The next day I called her again in the same number and gave her my phone number.

Expect my call on September 3rd. Till then good bye.

I did not wait for her reply. It must have sounded rude, but I did not want to get emotional.

I stayed in Bangkok for few days and returned back. I got my ticket of 2nd September. It was not that easy to re-schedule a new ticket. I had to pay 1200 Bhat to reschedule my flight. I was officially in Bangkok, but I already landed in Nepal. If police did deep investigation, I was sure to be on trouble, but I had no other option than this.

This was not the first time I landed on Tribhuvan International Airport. This time I felt like there were significant number of police.

This is how your mind works.
