Space Days - Chapter 21 Youve Got A Job
It was very noon when hussan said-i think we have reached Lucknow,so bear you may hide somewhere
The car was driving in the lanes of Lucknow, a Indian city with many old Islamic monument,some of the high rise building showed the high population of the area,it was a good city,it was hot too after a while hussan takes the car to 2 lane road where the streets were flushed with smells of kebabs,biryanis and there was the sound of bargaining heard and finally to a narrow way called gulli(in India)the car door were opened in front of a small house where a boy was watering the flowers,he saw them got inside saying-someone has came
for visiting.
With excited feeling, jumping and leaping
He tells to the old man inside in rockchair reading newspaper
The old man stands up and slowly gets to the door to see who has arrived in the door,a smile breaks over his face he is overjoyed to see his son,he calls to his wife-your child hussan has came back,for her mother it’s hard to believe that his son that was not from 20 years
With him,has finally now reached,she wanted to see the face of her child,the feeling of motherhood was what it was
She comes running and hugs him but then they hear another sound of opening of car’s door they come outside and see powerbear standing,
A bear,wore cloth, standing in a human way?
They stood feared and curious
Hussan’s father-i know him he is powerbear
Hussan-please take him inside,he is the only one who saved me
His father welcomes him,gives his hand to powerbear and takes him inside.
After a few hours powerbear along with hussan and his father is watching TV,taking sips of chai(Indian tea)and some of snacks,sitting in sofa with pleasure and peace,the old man had so much to ask from his son,and he was doing so
The house though small had nice pictures on wall and many good artpieces arranged.
Suddenly,loud sounds come to start pht-pht-pht-pht-pht-pht-pht
Hussan-let me watch out what is that as he reaches the door he finds air blowing ,there curtain was fluttering,he could feel his hairs blowing and that hot air blowing upon his face,he watches some soldier having guns targeted on the door and are carefully standing if they are ready for anything as he watches ahead there he sees a army helicopter,from which soldiers are climbing down with help of a rope
Hussan-f**k,they have arrived
A Soldier-stay there, another soldier gives him a loudspeaker
Soldier-powerbear,we know you are here, don’t try to run,we know who is naziya
He comes out, silently,and rises up his head and asks in a determined way
Bear-what have that small child have done
Soldier-if you run powerbear,we may do with her the same we done with hussan,we promise you if you will surrender we will leave naziya and yes we’ll take of the charge from hussan also
And were not going to lock you, neither kill you,we know you should fight for a good cause,so we have got a work for you,you may come with us.
Powerbear-if naziya and hussan will be left And if I will be given a work for a good cause I’m ready.
He goes with soldiers walking to street out,where there is an army vehicle, because it is not possible for bear maybe to climb on with rope, people are yelling and shouting taking images of powerbear,when they saw him they till somewhere followed also like a mad the crowd came on the road.
Many of them remind how he saved peoples in the train.
After they sit, the army vehicles get out of the city followed by the helicopters.
In vehicle,
A Soldier has sat in front of powerbear
Soldier-we’re taking you to vizag,from there you’re been sent to a place,secret place even I’m not told about that,you have to do a very special work,they say
Powerbear is thinking what they may do with him, and says
Powerbear-hope it’s a good work
Soldier-powerbear that’s what people call you, sometimes you did good works,but you’re a big non sense,you killed 2 soldiers in undescribable way,why did you do that?
Bear is feeling guilty as he got to aggressive last night,”why I did that “is what all he thought
Soldier-its good that one of them had not any family and second’s one was left by his family,we forgive you,it’s a big thing otherwise you must should have been hanged,but we know it would mean our more less trying to catch you
Powerbear-i feel sorry,I didn’t know what happened to me
The tears wept out of his eyes
(He started sparking)
Soldier-wait don’t cry now,
And then turning his face away from powerbear-you’re been sent out of the country
Powerbear-don’t do that,please I will improve myself
Soldier-time has gone,means gone
Bear was feeling ashamed sat in a silent way
