Chapter 5

Arjun and Ayesha left the class and went towards the college canteen. The period, just after the recess, was free, and thus they had more than enough time to do their work. Soon they were at their basketball court and followed the narrow passage that went by its side. The route was long and so they decided to run in order to reach that place as early as possible.

At last they reached at their destination. Ayesha looked at Arjun as if to say," Does this place really exist in our school?"

She looked around and was quite surprised to find such a place in his school. Arjun looked at Ayesha and knew what Ayesha was thinking.

"Yes, this is our own school Ayesha. Don't be surprised."

Ayesha returned to his normal self and tried to focus on the thing which brought them here.

"Where is that 'board' Arjun, you told me of,"

"I am myself searching it. Yesterday it was hanging at the place where I am standing. It's quite strange that someone has removed it."

"Are you sure Arjun that there was a board and that it was hanging here."

"I am quite sure Ayesha that there was a board yesterday. I saw it with my own eyes. My friends also read that board. The board seemed very old and the words inscribed on it were barely visible to us."

"Then in that case there is only one possibility that someone came here after you all visited this place and removed the board. But the biggest question is 'WHY?' Why would anyone remove that board? What good does he get in doing this?"

There was silent for a minute. Arjun went deeper in there, in search of that board but was not successful. Ayesha was still standing there looking for some possible explanation of those entire things. She noticed that the place was not to support any human habitation. The belief was supported by the fact that till now they had not come across any sign of a possible human settlement.

"Arjun where are you. Come here."

Arjun came out running," What happened? Why are you yelling?"

"Tell me where you were lying"

Arjun looked on the ground to find the spot and very soon he called Ayesha.

"See here. I was lying on the ground here and my friends were standing there terrified"

Ayesha examined the spot very curiously and declared," There seems nothing extraordinary."

"Yeah you are right Ayesha but I am sure that there was a board hanging there and I can prove that."

"What prove? I totally believe you and if you are saying it I can surely say that there would have been a board hanging here yesterday. But the most important is that 'where is that board and who took it'?"

"Thanks Ayesha for believing me, but we should now better leave because there's not much time left for our class to begin." said Arjun looking at his watch.

"Yes you are saying correct and our chemistry teacher is not so lenient to leave us without any punishment."

They both gave a look at the place for a second and then ran towards their class. The teacher had arrived and as expected by them they both received a sound scolding and a warning that their careless behaviour would not be tolerated any more.

They heard their share of scolding and then sat at their place.
