Tunnel Visions

Sarvesh was on his top speed when he steered his Mercedes Benz into the Main City Highway. He could have chosen another sports car but that wouldn’t have let him drive through the wrecked city. The night was dark; terror was inside his heart for his sister. 

When he was passing by the Kaalajung forest that 

He saw fire blazing through the tree. He took a turn into the forest weak road to see what’s happening. He saw a sight a sight the painful to his bottommost part of heart.

Whole village was set on fire. Men were injured by arrows and gunshots. They were bleeding to death in the open fire. Further he went he saw naked women dead with arrows in heads. Everywhere there were dead bodies of these tribal people. He felt like helping them, he felt sorry and regretted that being an Army officer he could do nothing but look. 

He was examining the barbaric massacre, when a man spoke behind his back, Sarvesh turned, the man was dying with fire ensnarled all over his body, the man said

“Us ladki ko maar dena…!! Usey Shraap laga hey pure gaaon… Pure Kabiley ka… Daayan hey wohh ladki… Sabko Maar daalegee wohh… Apne Dard Mey Sabko Le Dubegee wohh…” 

Sarvesh grieved… “Kon… Kya kiya usne..” 

But the man didn’t reply and died.

Sarvesh went back to his car. He took out his satellite phone to send the information about  this place. 

Suddenly a man banged his car doors, there was blood all over him and couple of guns and ammo too… Sarvesh took out his revolver and pointed it to the man. The man dropped his guns on the ground. He screamed, Sarvesh could only read his lips.

“HELP US….!! PLEASE… HELP”

Sarvesh wanted to the open the door and go help the man and maybe his other companions who were standing behind. But he thought not to… The guns explained these people were the murderers of the village. His only aim coming to city was to save his sister, he thought about nothing else he started his car and began to move. He attained his top speed in 5secs but then he heard bullets being fired on his from behind. One of them stuck his back tire, the tire blasted. 

Sarvesh pulled the emergency brake and jumped out the car before it crashed to a giant rock.

Swapna rolled out early out of the best next morning. Sun was still struggling its rays above the horizon, but the air stunk like shit. Although Richard Enterprise building was super-seal packed. Not even a minute particle could come inside without the permissions of the guards.

Swapna took a refreshing shower to get rid of all the tensions hovering inside her mind. She turned the gauge of the shower to maximize the temperature. The water gushed out rapidly Swapna kept her head below it.

‘I know… this was the biggest mistake of life, agreeing to Bill’s vile plans. I shouldn’t have done this. But I had no choice.’ She pushed her hands against the walls ‘How could you be so stupid Swap…’ she slapped herself ‘ you are the reason too… bringing this whole havoc of hell on earth. You are the culprit… you are the murderer.’ She thought ‘everything was impossible without you. But I can’t go back in time. I can’t.

Swapna heard her private phone ringing. The phone was working of Richard’s own satellite, only few people called her on that phone. Now that telephone services were all down she couldn’t expect her friends calling her.

Swapna wore a bathrobe and came out to pick the phone. Water was still dripping from her wet hairs.
