SOHAM'S POV

"One "

"Two "

"Three"

"Four "

" What are you doing? " I chuckled looking at the person who is sharing my cell since one week. 

" Counting? "  he answered making me laugh. 

" what is so funny that you are laughing at my expense? " he asked me.

"You stop at ten anyway why start counting? "I question him. 

"Because I feel good after counting ten numbers"he replied.  I chuckled leaning my head against the wall.

" Dare to count beyond ten numbers,  maybe you will see some change?  " I suggested.

"What do you do to feel good? " he questioned me.

" What did you do to sit here and talk with me? "I asked him back.

" I jailed for counting numbers till ten everytime..  " he replied making me laugh loudly.  I never expected that I will be sitting here with different people who may or may not have done some crime. 

"Did you feel whatever you have done is right? " I asked him seriously. 

" You did not answer my previous question" he said.

" I never felt bad that I am here.  I accept my punishment.  " I replied.

"When you feel bad then? " he questioned me.

" Previously I used to go for walk now I think of certain someone and I feel happy that I know that person. " I replied smiling a bit.

" Really?  A girl? " he asked me.  I smiled looking at him.

" You will be leaving in the evening then?" he asked me.

" Yes " I replied. 

"That's like in two hours" he said going back to counting numbers while I looked at him quite confused with his behavior  .

"Soham?" someone called out.  I looked up to find guard motioning me to follow him.

"Where are we going? " I asked him.

"Some procedures which you should follow before we release you" he said.

"Here are your trousers,  wallet,  phone and this chain.  " incharge  handed me my things. 

"Change into them first. "he ordered. I walked into a room and changed my clothes.  It feels weird to wear them again. 

"You need to sign here,  wait up there.  We got some paper work to finish.  Your father asked us to give you this once you get released.  " guard handed me over the letter,  I sat in a room holding it waiting for them to finish the formalities. 

"Yes uncle!  I will miss you too! Now give me book!  I have to sign and go! " I heard Aahana's voice.  I sat straight trying to concentrate on what's she's talking about. 

"We will miss you mam!  Won't you come again to teach these people? " someone questioned her. 

Did she come here to teach us one last time?  Why wasn't I allowed to that class!  I could have seen her one last time! 

" Unfortunately no!  I am not coming back again.  Someone else is appointed for this.  " she replied.  After that I couldn't hear anything as they were talking in low voice.  Where is she? !

"You are asked to follow me" guard came and announced and I followed him.

"Here is your money and this certificate,  it will help you to join any small industry  . You will be given employment directly without any interview . Well done.  You earned it. " incharge proudly  said.  I smiled at him.  He signalled his guards to leave us alone.
