I am not a thief, the stranger said from the back seat,amal didn't replied.
After a few seconds amal asked who are you then?
Someone struck by unfortunate events he said exhaling another puff from his cigarette,amal put his hand is his pocket and took a pack of cigarettes they weren't indian brand.fancy huh?,stranger said mockingly. Just a tip from a customer.both silent for a minute. So are u gonna tell me where should i take u amal asked with a questioning look on his face. mumbai said the stranger in the back seat like its around the next block. And how we are supposed to go their it's a local taxi must have to take it back by tomorrow morning, that not possible no way i am gonna take u "mumbai"!.
Why are talking like you have choice my friend,you do not have the comfort to choose!,what if my manager call me what if he reports to the police if i didn't came back amal asked with confidence that he wouldn't have thought of that.that's your problem the gun ain't on my head he said pinning the barrel in the back of his head.amal was angry but helpless however he had learned or he was used to things like this this kinda attitude because he knew was just a taxi driver.
He now knows he is out of options and he had to do it.
2000 km journey amal said. Long drive i love it said the stranger. We are gonna need fill up some gas we ll gonna run out soon said amal looking at the rear view mirror. The stranger nodded and pull out his bag it was a duffle bag a big one he took a bundle of notes from it amal was carefully peeking through the rear viewing mirror it wasn't a busy road but suddenly a car came rushing from front honking at them amal looked suddenly and hit the break paddle tires squealed and every thing came to rest the bag fell from the strangers grip and fell onto the floor.
The bag was full of money bundles all in thousands.amal never saw that amount of money in his entire life.the stranger suddenly took all the bundles fell on the floor and stuffed them into bag and hold it securely like animal protecting his baby. Amal didn't said a word but pulled the the old ride back on the asphalt.
Silence filled the small space for few minutes.
Amal broke the silence.
Said we are both are adult enough to know that this money ain't legal.
This is out of your business said the stranger. THIS AIN'T MY BUSINESS said amal wildly shouting he lost his temper,you have been sitting in this car for 2 hours pointing gun on my head my manager gonna fire me,and i am likely to be caught by police any minute because some fugitive is sitting in my taxi telling me this ain't my business.he stopped the car on the side of a road and turned to the stranger and said i am not gonna drive an inch until you explain what the **** is going on here. I don't care who are what you gonna do to my head with pretty little gun of yours until u speak.
I am roy he said after amal completed
