The Unsolved Mystery #Wattys2019

Chapter Five - Attack

"Put your hand on a hot stove for a minute and it seems like an hour. Sit with a pretty girl for an hour, and it seems like a minute."

-Albert Einstein.

Agastya's POV

Amayraah. The beauty who had captured my heart. How could anyone be so beautiful? Her melodious voice had been ringing continuously in my ears. Her smile, made my day. She was the epitome of beauty and innocence and I was the devil incarnation. She and I were two different ends of the same chain. Our worlds were apart from each other.

Agastya sighed and entered the house. He removed the chit from his shirt's pocket, crumbled and put it in the flower vase in the room. It was old habit of him to hide the toffee wrappers in the flower pot so his parents didn't know that he ate the chocolates.

"Kids, we are heading now for the Talon's wedding" Grandpa said.

"We are so sorry kids, we wanted to spend more time with you all but we have to go." Grandma said.

"It's okay, I am here for a month" Amyraah replied gleefully. This girl was such a cutie. She didn't give a damn about world instead did whatever she want.

"Grandpa you should go now or else you will miss the bus" Chase warned.

Grandma said, "Agastya it was great time with you. Come here often"

Agastya assured her, "Sure. I will come. Take care and have fun."

They bid their goodbyes as Julian and Agastya helped them with the luggage. Julian went to drop them at the decided place.

"Come let's eat some popcorn and watch some movie along" Amyraah said. "No thank you am full besides I want to decode the message" Agastya said her.

"Buddy, Let Julian come, we will decode it together" Chase said.

"Okay fine" He finally agreed.

"You two sit on the sofa and Chase pick any good movie, meantime I will bring some snacks" Amyraah said.

Amyraah's POV

Amyraah frowned as she entered the kitchen. Crap. I hope there are snacks in the kitchen or Chase is going to kill me. Her mind froze as she stared the man with gun.

*Bang*

Within a flash of second, some masked man had twisted her hand back and it was paining badly. And the worse was there was some cold metal around her neck. Jeez, it's a knife. Amyraah you are going to die. Shit shit. I don't want to die, you idiot.

"Ouch! Leave me please. My hand it's paining. Please leave me" Amyraah pleaded, tears brimming her eyes.
"One step further and he will kill her" the other masked man referred to Chase and Agastya.
"You moron leave her, I warn you if a single scratch is on her body I will kill you" Chase warned him in anger.
The masked man started moving knife. Whoa! The psycho was cutting my neck. I struggled but in vain. There was no way of escape.

"Stop. Please leave her. What you want? You can rob the house. Please I beg you to leave her." Agastya said.

"We don't want money." The other masked man said.
Oh fuck! Amyraah they have came here to kidnap you. Shit.
The psycho removed knife and loosened the grip on my hand but he took a hold of my arm making sure, I didn't run away. Idiot.
"What you people want?" Chase asked.

"Relax kids. We are not here to harm you. But if you try to act smart then all of you are dead." The masked man said. Holy cow then what was the meaning of putting knife around my neck.

"Give me that chit which I put in your shirt's pocket by mistake" the other man said referring to Agastya.

"Which chit? What are you talking about" Agastya asked. The other masked man removed his mask and said, "The same chit which I put in your pocket while I bumped into you in the market" he said in a stern voice. Jeez! He's here for that stupid chit which had some gibberish words and for that he hurt me with knife. Idiot!

"Well so you are the man who bumped me and later Agastya" she blurted out.

"Yes girlie. Now hand me the chit." He said.

"Well after you bumped me, we went to eat sandwiches in a hotel and for paying the bill I put my hand in shirt and that chit came to my notice but as the words didn't understand to me I threw the chit there in dustbin." Agastya said.

He was lying. Julian had clearly stated him to keep the chit with him and he was just some time ago thinking to decode it. But I kept my mouth shut since I wanted to live.

"How can you throw such an important chit in dustbin?" The masked man holding my arm asked.

"Not even a single word from the chit was understandable. So a common man will throw it." Agastya answered.

"Oh God where should we search for it now?" The masked man asked.

"Why did you put the chit in his shirt's pocket if it was so significant for you?" Chase asked.

Shut up Chase. For my sake, shut up!

"We were told to put the chit in a shirt's pocket and the shirt's design color is same as this boy is wearing" the masked man said. Oh! Fuck. That explained why they put chit in Agastya's pocket.

"Ray we are not supposed to explain. Search in this boy's pocket and search every corner of house. I don't trust this boys. Be quick. And pass the girl to me" The man who bumped Amyraah in the morning said to the masked man and before she got any time to act the person grabbed her arm.

"Ah! That hurts".

"Had I been on your position I won't have wasted time, I would have till now went in the hotel and searched for the chit" Chase said.

The masked man came after some time and said, "I checked everywhere, I didn't find the chit."

The other said, "Okay! Check these boys."

Amyraah gulped under her throat because the chit was in Agastya's pocket and the men would find it.
