The Unsolved Mystery #Wattys2019

Chapter Four - Mystery Man

"Some days I am the complete third person- the secret agent. Nobody knows I'm there, yet I know everything."

― Anna Paszkiewicz

Amayraah exited the shop and headed towards the boys. As she walked, she bumped. From where the hell did a wall came in the middle of road? Wait this wasn't a wall. Damn! This was a man! Amayraah noticed a strange man in front of her. He appeared like a goon and dacoit. He had a huge beard and his eyes were covered because of shades. His head was covered with monkey cap and had scarf around neck.

It was evening time and no one needed to wear glares, Amyraah thought. "Can't you see and walk?" The grumpy man said. Before Amyraah could put some sense in him and say something he walked away. Wait What? He was a complete idiot. Instead of apologizing he was shouting at me. Where were his manners? Asshole.

Amayraah hurried and took steps towards his brother. The man with whom she collided minutes ago suddenly reappeared in front of her and walked in same way where Agastya, Julian and Chase were standing and she was going. Chase seeing her, approached her and within a flash of second the mysterious grumpy man and Agastya collided with each other. Amayraah and Chase ran towards them.

"Agastya are you okay?" Chase and Julian asked in unison.

Agastya stood up and said he was okay. "Can't you see and walk?" Agastya yelled on the man.
"Am extremely sorry. I was in hurry" Saying this the mysterious man in few moments disappeared because of huge crowd. Whoa whoa something there was fishy, Amayraah found that man suspicious.

"Amayraah, whom are you searching?" Chase asked.
Instead Amyraah turned to Agastya, "Are you okay, Agastya?"
"Yes, am okay" Agastya said.
"Are you sure you are okay?" Amayraah asked him again not convinced by his response.

"Amayraah, Agastya is okay. He himself said that. Why are you asking again and again; what's wrong with you?" Julian asked with a concern on his face. Julian didn't like this. He knew Agastya was a bad boy just like him and his sister cared for him. He didn't want his sister to have feelings for Agastya.

"I just found that man suspicious. I was actually behind and looking at him. He purposely collided with Agastya and before that he bumped into me and shouted on me. He's a complete psycho" Amayraah told them.
"Agastya, Amayraah have you met that man before?" Chase asked.

"I don't know" Amyraah replied.
"I too actually don't know it. You all have seen his eyes were covered with glares and he had a beard. I actually don't know if I had met him before." Agastya explained.
"Anyways leave it. Am done" she said them, "Let's move from here. It's pretty crowded here"
They moved ahead and went towards the hotel.

Chase said, "Agastya, here you can get the most delicious sandwich here. Taste it."
"A grilled vegetable sandwich for me" Amyraah said.
"And 3 Cheese vegetable toast sandwiches" Julian ordered.

As soon as the waiter placed plates with sandwiches in front of them the four of them pounced on it. Off course, who didn't like food?
"How's it? Amayraah asked.
"It's delicious" Agastya replied.

"I'm going to pay bill" Agastya said and put his hand in his shirt's pocket to remove money. Along with wallet he removed a piece of paper. He handed the money to Julian to pay and unfolded the paper. He stared at it dumbfounded, a mixture of confusion appeared on his face.

Meanwhile Julian came and said "the bill is paid, now let's move"

Agastya didn't even move an inch.
"Agastya what's it?" Amayraah asked it finally.
"Huh? This paper? It's nothing like.." He said.
"If it's nothing then why is it in your pocket" Amayraah questioned.
"I don't know how it came in my pocket" he said completely surprised.
"Show it to me" Amyraah said.
"Amyraah, you should not ask like this. Maybe it's a love letter to Agastya" said Julian. Hearing love letter Amyraah stood there completely stupefied.

"Wait. This isn't a love letter" Agastya said making Amyraah relieved.
"This is something gibberish. I can't understand" He said.

"Show it to me" Chase told. He took the paper from Agastya's hands and read it. His first reaction was "What the fuck is this written!"
Amayraah snatched the paper from Chase' hand.

It was written:

Wait for third.
Awmght wretx kjepab yutptq, demt jkept, poadt jfthsj ,rebty yulfgk toapz chcnkl lokema, dehpq rtipls tylztm pildm at 10 on 20-12-2018

"This is absolutely gibberish. There are no such words in any language" Amyraah told.
Agastya interrupted her and said "Amyraah, I agree whatever you say but had it been useless it won't have been written in such a new paper and the handwriting is so neat, clean and tidy proving whoever has written this wanted to give message to someone in some code which the common man can't understand. There's definitely some message or information in this paper."
"Agastya is right" the boys agreed in unison.
"Amyraah show me the chit" Agastya said. He glanced on chit working for some clue.
"There's no use in reading that. Nothing could be understood" Chase said.

"See guys the last part is not coded.
It's written

Wait for third.
Awmght wretx kjepab yutptq, demt jkept, poadt jfthsj ,rebty yulfgk toapz chcnkl lokema, dehpq rtipls tylztm pildm at 10 on 20-12-2018

"It's written at 10 on 20-12-2018; 20-12-2018, 20th December it's the date " he said.
"It's today's date" Julian said.
"Oh ya and 10 it's the time I guess" Agastya replied.
"Wow Agastya you're a genius detective" Chase complimented him.
"I actually, am fan of Sherlock Holmes." Agastya said with a smile on his face.
"What's the time now?" He asked.
"It's near about quarter to 3" Amyraah immediately glanced her watch and said.

Agastya had brains too! Hold on your horses, AMAYRAAH!

"But how this chit came in Agastya's pocket?" Chase asked.
"I have worn this shirt today for the first time from the day, since I and Julian landed here. Also when we were home, there was nothing in pocket except the money. So I guess this chit has came in my pocket today only" Agastya explained.
As he said this Amyraah's brain worked 10X faster. She remembered that the man who collided purposely with Agastya may have put the chit in Agastya's pocket.
"Hey Amyraah what are you thinking so much?" Chase said, "I know baby, am hot" he said.
"Jeez. Chase can you stop flirting with my sister?" Julian replied with an angry tone. Julian never liked his friends flirting with her sister.
"Hey guys. I think the man who collided with Agastya may have put the chit in Agastya's pocket" Amyraah said to them.
"You are correct Amyraah. He had touched my pocket while picking me up" Agastya said with a sparkle in his eyes.

"For the time keep this chit with you Agastya. It's getting late. Let's go home and think about it" Julian said in an authoritative tone.
And the very next moment the teenagers headed towards home.
