A Long Way To Go: A Travelling Story (2015)

Chapter 10

“Who’s that bloody son of a chairman?” asked Iliyas.

“He is the son of one of the most powerful people in this village. It’s because he’s not only a spoilt brat but an extremist” said Ali.

“Damn! If Haroon would have there, he would have bashed up the son of the chairman” said Saiful.

“Hey, Mr. Engineer and Poet, it’s not easy to bash up because he pretends to be good in front of the whole village but he’s evil. But Haroon already bashed up the goons while the gang was actually trying to threat a poor man for money” said Ali.

“I think we should protest. It’s against the law” said Iliyas.

“Not now, we should wait for that” said Ali.

Everyone calmed down and took some rest.  Later on, we went to a small restaurant for lunch. Therefore, we saw the chairman’s son and two of his friends staring us with an evil eye.  We ignored them by doing our lunch. They were embarrassing us ladies so much by calling names but the boys thrashed them a lot. As they didn’t spare the boys, the hooded stranger thrashed them so much that the hooligans got scared.

“Go to your daddy or otherwise I will do this again!” said the baritone voiced hooded man.

When he was about to walk away, I was asking who is he but he ignored.

“This guy’s a badass after all” said Sameen.

“God, she’s right about the hooded man” said Iliyas.

“The way he talked, was it Haroon?” asked Saiful.

“May be he is” said Ali.

All of the boys looked shocked. Indeed another relief for me.  After that, we went to the rest house. It was so cold that before sleep, I heard some recorded ghost stories. Suddenly, I got an SMS:-

Debra,

I saw you at the yacht and staring at you. I was all along trying to protect you from those who harassed you. Sorry I didn’t came front. One day I sure will,

See you sweetheart…

I was impressed that he revealed that the hooded man was the whisperer. Let me see what happens.
