On Thursday I got relieved from
the project which was assigned to me.
Since it was a long time I had been to native, I thought of going to
home. When I asked for the permission our manager granted me 3 days leave
without a single word. I was very happy and came back to my seat and opened
IRCTC site to book ticket on the same night, but it was showing waiting list. I
tried for the buses I did not get any ticket. Therefore I did not book any
ticket and thought of travelling next day morning.
Since it was winter season, Next
day morning I got up at 10am. I got ready and had lunch & then boarded bus
at 1pm. Its 8 hour journey from Bangalore to Hubli and conductor told we will
be reaching latest by 9.30pm. Hubli to my village its half an hour drive and last
bus will be at 10pm. I thought latest by 10.30pm will be at home, so I called
up home and gave them message.
Due to lot of traffic, bus
reached Hubli at 11pm.By the time I reach my village bus had left Hubli. There
was one more bus which was standing. I boarded that bus which goes to other
village that is 2km from my village. When bus reached that village it was 12am mid
night. As soon as bus reached the stop everyone got down and moved towards
their homes. Within seconds bus stop empty & silent.
Now some kind of fear started in
the mind, because I have to walk 2km to reach my home. Slowly I started to walk
on the road, not even single person was on the road. I thought of calling up
home, but there was no proper network. There was pin drop silence and I could only
hear scream of different type of insects. I remembered lot of devil stories on
the way. It was full moon day and sky was clear with lot of bright stars. There
was cool air which was blowing and making sound. Not to feel alone I put ear
phones and started listening songs.
However I walked 1km and reached
river which crosses my village. As I was walking on the banks of river suddenly
my mobile got switched off, songs were stopped. Dark clouds covered the clear
sky. Within seconds lighting also started, clouds busted into rain. I drenched
in the rain. It became full dark, I started to walk faster. Only in lightning I
was able to see the road. Suddenly I saw a huge body coming towards me; I
trembled and stood there only. As huge
body approached very near I could recognize, he was man with 7feet height and
around 200kg weight with long beard. My hands and legs started shivering as he
stood in front of me. He said ‘my name is Robert and you have to come with me
now’. ‘No I will not come anywhere’ why
should I come with you’ I replied in fear.
But he took me and flied in the
air, I was screaming but when I saw earth from bird view, felt happy. There was
fear in mind, that why this guy is taking me, whether he is magician or devil.
We crossed lot of forests, hills and rivers. Finally we came to big ocean,
there were lot of big waves hitting to the shore and air was blowing with high
speed, also there was lightning.
We
crossed some kilometers in the ocean, in lightning light I saw an island near
to us. He took me and got down on a big rock in the island. It was raining heavily;
wind was blowing with high speed, so I could not move forward. Robert was
standing like a rock. He looked at me and again I got fear. He took me on his shoulders
and started to walk forward. After a while, we reached a small hut, where there
was only single cot and mat. I came to know that it’s the place where Robert
lives.
After some time he started speaking ‚now we
have to move deep inside the sea, and fight with one creature (Robo) then we
have to bring back one key which is in his throat. I was amazed, why the hell I
should fight and am I capable? ‚yes dude you are capable, your ancestors had
this power and they have transferred this power to you. Robo killed your
grandfather. He has lots of magical powers. He is trying to convert our
1million men into creatures. Today is the the last day that we can stop him or
else million people will be converted into creatures and they will destroy the
world. The guy who has power to kill Robo is “you” he said.
Robert gave me one magical stick. It was of
my grandfather and which works only in my hand Robert said. I took it &
said fire, suddenly a big tree in front of me got fire. Now I got confidence. I
wore my grandfather‘s outfit and said Robert that we will move. We both flied
from the rock and jumped into the sea. Deep into the sea there was a fort. We
entered inside the fort. Inside there was no water but there was forest and it
had lots of different types of trees. Slowly we moved inside. Suddenly fire occurred
in front of us. I sprinkled water on it by magic stick. We moved front, earth
worm type insects started coming out from the earth. One by one started
climbing our body. We started running in other direction. I made hole using my stick,
suddenly all the insects fell into the hole.
We found some coconut trees. I took one to
drink, when i cut it we found blood in that. I threwed it. We were very hungry,
but there was nothing to eat there. As we moved forward we found small water
body in which there were some fishes. We caught some fishes and fried using
magic stick. We ate them, now we felt comfortable.
We sat there for some time, there was big
hill in front of us, and the creature was on top of hill. We have to reach
there by passing through some caves. Time was running and soon we got up
started climbing the hill. After walking 500 meters we found one cave. It was
full dark. As soon as we entered the cave, bunch of spiders and bats attacked
us. So we could not move forward and came outside the cave. I took some sticks
and wrapped front part with cloth and fired it. Then me and Robert entered the
cave again they tried to attack but, with the help of fire we destroyed some bats.
Quickly we moved forward.
Next we moved slowly and found big wall in
front of us. On the wall there were some creatures and were holding some
weopons.we crawled slowly till the wall but one creature looked at us &
attacked us. Within seconds around 50 creatures surrounded us. They were making
some irritating noise and with weapons tried to kill us. I took my stick &
I made them to move little back. Suddenly we both started running towards the
top of the fort, creatures were chasing from back, while running my stick fell
into a small pit. We tried to move front but it was edge of the hill. So we
went behind the bush and sat down there. Creatures came running, as they were
in a high speed, they fell down from the edge of the hill. After picking up the
stick from the pit, we flied on top of the fort with the help of special broom
stick.
Now Robo was in front of us, he had a very
huge body and had more than 10 hands. He was having different types of
weopons.He too had one magical stick same as mine by which he was controlling
everything, that stick was stolen from my ancestors. As soon as he saw us,
threw some fire balls towards us, but we escaped from them. With the help of my
stick left some bees to bite him, he too escaped by using some powers. He left
some pigs which were having big teeth, one pig attacked on Robert and pierced
through stomach, suddenly he started shouting. I went & killed that pig.
With
the help of big sword I killed other pigs too. Small injuries were on my body.
I tied cloth to Robert’s stomach, but Robo was trying to hit me from back,
suddenly Robert pushed me away and his left hand was cut. Robert fainted.
I
took sword and cut his toes and he fell down, took his magic stick and cut his
neck threw into the big valley. Robert was awake by that time there was victory
smile on his face. I went and hugged him and told him about the killing of
Robo. Robert asked me about the key, suddenly I became silent because key was
forgotten.
‘’without
the key we cant make million people free from prison’’ Robert said. I showed him the place where Robo was thrown
out. Suddenly he took me in hand and flied down the valley. There was big
forest at the bottom of the valley. We went in search of his body, bunch of
leopards attacked us. One leopard pierced nails into my thigh skin. I killed it
with help of my sword. Same time Robert killed other leopards also. There was
bleeding in my thigh. I took some dry leaves and tied them tightly on thigh.
We moved forward, we found his neck but
there was no key in that. We got tensed, lot of negative thoughts came into
mind that after finding body if key is not there, where to find in such big
forest. Only two hours was left for
release of those people or else all of them will be converted to creatures. We increased our speed and started searching
in the forest. There was river flowing in forest. We found some blood drops on
the banks of river. Now we were sure that body was flown along with water.
We ran on the bank of river along with
flowing water, after some minutes we reached still water. I saw body floating
on the water and screamed at Robert that we found body. We were happy and
brought body on the bank. With help of sword I cut his body into pieces. We
found key in his stomach. Another one hour was left to release them. Since
Roberts hand was cut it was impossible fly faster and reach in time to release
them. With help of magic stick two flying brooms I made. Within seconds we left the place flied on
brooms. After 45 minutes we reached the Island where all people were put behind
the bar. With help of key we opened the lock,
automatically bars disappeared. All the people were very happy and hugged each
other. They thanked me and Robert. Also they decided to make me king of the
Island. But I did not agree and told
about my family & job responsibilities. Also I promised them that will be
visiting them once in year. In case of emergency always I will be there for
them at any time. They too agreed and sent me happily. Robert took me in hand
flied towards my village. Dropped me near my home and hugged me, said bye and
left.
In my home everyone was afraid and they were
waiting for me from long time. They ringed my mobile it was not reachable. As
soon as I reached home there was big smile on everyone’s face. My mom hugged me
and cried. I told them some other story (did not tell what actually happened)
to made them to believe. Later everyone went to bed. I just closed my eyes.
