THE CHASE


                                                

            Actually I don’t wake up early in the morning , Dad used to say “Early to  bed Early to rise Keeps man healthy.” But I don’t follow the rules I create my own. That day 2nd October morning 5:30 it doesn’t matter who was born on that day our whole colony were in nice sleep. If we didn’t had independence I think my DAD’s principle would become Universel. Seriously I was note awaken because of any Gandhi jayanthi, I don’t know what happened I felt like someone kicked my back and i felled down of my bed.
    I was getting weird Nightmare from couple of weeks, for 2 weeks I had just  witnessed a single nightmare, that I will be chasing a girl and I will be running behind her like an ‘Cheetah tending towards its hunt’ don’t know why I will be just running, it will be a long chase I will be jumping, crossing small streets and many more things finally I gonna get that girl near the bridge at the middle of the road where  I can see a car coming towards the bridge, she will be waiting for the car which will be coming with a great speed, I grab bag from her but I couldn’t see the face because it will be covered with mask  I try to open the mask but she escapes from me and I again starts running behind her but  another car from behind will come and hit me because I will be at the middle of the road and tries to cross it without noticing another vehicle and that vehicle runs away, she gets seated in the car for which she will be waited(its not the same car which hits me at back) and she goes away and I will get woke up from my sleep and don’t understand what about that dream was.  
                But 2nd october I didn’t get any nightmare I think because I was asleep, I never believed any such things I was not superstitious , since I was sure that I am not going to get any sleep thought of going to jogging, when I came out, my dad was already woke up he was doing his daily exercise, off course he was shocked since it was expected I ignored it and went on for which I had not done since 2years(jogging).And I started running actually I just wanted to cross our colony road and go to the main road so that I can jog there, for god sake I don’t wanted to seen by Anand uncle who was my dad’s best friend and for me one of the boring uncle who used to give lectures which I hated the most, his house was at the end of the road, ours was 4th cross if I had passed another 3 cross I would have reached main road.
               But It didn’t happen I stopped near Anand uncles house, He was not there to stop me but I saw someone whom I was seeing since 14 days in my dreams yes it was her, Black mask, Black pull over, blue jeans, slim body, I just stared at her like I had never seen an women. She was coming down from the top at side of the wall with the help of the rope which she had tied and a bag on her back, it was around 6:10 my mind woke up suddenly and started screaming “She is an robber do something” and I reacted quickly took out my phone called Anand uncle and I started screaming on her “Hey who are you?” she noticed me and started climbing up, Anand uncle came out and I signed him she is up there he called police, she climbed on terrace I even called my dad, and I said to uncle “she will be jumping from one house to other or whatever if she does she has to go to the main road and I will be going from shortcut I will reach road you come with my dad”  he insisted “please do that” and I started running actually I was pretty good in these aspects I had seen many bond movies and actually  I was tapping my back while I was running  because I reacted very well at that situation and focusing on the present situation I started running bit faster, I don’t know why it is happening to me, I don’t know what is going to happen to me but THE CHASE had started.
           Actually I was supposed to take the shortcut, But what I did is I went straight away on the main road, if I had gone on the shortcut I would reach at the other end where there is a bridge and if she come across the opposite end she can easily escape because there was a small streets ahead something like slum area, so I came near that slum area expecting that she would come, Dad called meanwhile  “were are you?”
                       “ Searching here at opposite street, were are you?”
                        “we are near the bridge, if u find her call us, police are on their way”
                          “Ok”
      I heard a sound of someone running, I came back to see who was that and my calculations was right she was coming towards street, I found a shop nearby were I could hide and waited for her as she crossed that shop I ran back  grabbed her right hand and closed her mouth by my left hand, she tried for couple of minutes to get loosened from me but very tightly I had holded her hand and mouth, I wanted to call my dad but my 2 hands were couldn’t do that as I was expecting some help wondering anyone could see us and I can ask an help but for my fortune none of them were their at that place, at that time she grabbed phone from my pocket and called my dad and kept it on my left ear, I was like shocked what was she doing why did she do that?, at that time I saw her eyes it was not just an eye it was something more that it was the most beautiful eyes I had never seen before, tears shed in her eyes it was looking like an reflection of blue moon at the lake, I removed my hand from her mouth but I had held her right hand tightly her left one was at my left ears were my dad was screaming at phone “what happened?” , I didn’t replied I was not in this world I was in the eyes were I could see the blue moon. I don’t know what  happened I just left her free and I uttered a single word I don’t  were it came from I just said “Go”, and she didn’t wait for anything she was very quick ran away and disappeared.
           My dad and uncle came running after a while I couldn’t come out of that world till they come,
               Dad “ were is she, what happened, did u find her?”
                       “No”
               Anand uncle was very much tensed he broke the silence between us and said  “ ok Abhi you take right and you search for her there, we will go to the other part of this area were gundappa and  muniyappa(both were workers at his house)  stays, with their help we will search there and you search here if you didn’t find wait here till we come because this the only way to reach main road and we cant wait till police comes”
            I agreed to his order and started move towards the right part area were less no of buildings were there most of the area consists of empty sites but were my dad and uncle had gone it was of big one I think she could be hiding somewhere their. I was just thinking about myself what did I do I left her freely, I don’t know who she is, it started feeling guilty I had cheated uncle, he always gives me boring speech it doesn’t mean that I should cheat him he always wished best for me. Don’t know were to go just thought of going till the end of  the road were there were 5 houses, but I stooped at the middle and was watching around my mind was blank suddenly a voice made me activated I heard like someone crying I just went back to the end, stood near 1st house around 100metre ahead I could  see the 5th house were she was standing holding the bag infront of two big people I mean those 2 were like Guliver she handed over the bag to one person but the other was holding a child around age 6 he was screaming to leave him free
          Time was around 6:45 I was just like an spectator for what happened their, they had some conversations for a while one of the person took the bag and counted the money , I found a tree to hide myself and was watching curiously what is going to happen there, after counting he pushed her back and started scolding her, she was still in her mask the child was crying she lying on the ground grabbed the soil in her hands, she threw it on his eyes and the other one who came attack on her she gave a nice punch to his face and kicked right away at his center point at that shot he was almost lost his consciousness then she grabbed the child and I came in front of her after all action scene she saw me and even took the bag and ran towards me, she threw the bag at me and I caught it by my right hand since there was my cell phone in my other hand, it was bit heavy and I was closing the zip of that bag meanwhile she grabbed my phone which was in my other hand and ran away with that child, I was about say F**k but the guy with mud in his eyes was already cleared his eyes and he saw me with the bag “Hey you both stop there you beeeep” I cant give that bag to him it was my uncles so with no other options I started running and THE CHASE PART-2 had already started.                          
        Why I am running? why I should run? What is happening?, my god I was like patient in the mental hospital getting shock treatment with no reason for instance I didn’t care about that fat guy who was behind me I only know that I need to get her she had my phone not just an phone it was i-phone 5 my dad had gifted it to me for my birthday and I cant loose that, actually I was very anger on her I felt like I am the most stupid person in the world who makes an robber to go from is hand, but the fact I realized at that time was I didn’t left her because of my uncle for which I was feeling guilty I had left her because of her innocent eyes that makes you feel that ‘don’t  make those eyes wet’. But money was in my hand all I wanted is to get her, my mind was saying “ first grab your mobile and get rid from her”, but my heart was whispering “just stand in front of her and just stare at those eyes”. I know that my heart is little bit crazy, just focusing on the path I crossed that street I was on main road she was running towards the bridge which was at the other end of the road and I saw back he was actually very fast he was just 10-15 feet behind me, she reached the bridge and stood there with her child don‘t know why?
               I just wanted to run as fast as possible but suddenly something came in back and hit my back very badly it was actually a big stone which was thrown by him and I will be exclaiming my pain by screaming loudly “aaahhhhh” she sees that and runs towards me I will be lying at the middle of the road with my bag, he also starts running towards me I pick up that stone and I will threw on him he escapes from that, aggressively he fastens his speed and  run towards me but for my fortune Cops arrives I could see their Jeep at the other end, he stops their and find his way back to escape from them and I could sense a  chilled hand on my shoulder it was of her I didn’t hear what my mind said I followed my heart  I just stared at her eyes like I never did before and that was not just an eye it was something more than that, and for her fortune she got an bike driven by another lady   I said “ Hi, I am Abhiram” she didn’t reply she got up on the bike but the little child came to me hugged me very tightly and gave me a kiss and said “thank u” and he returned my cellphone, then I came to know that she had grabbed it because she could call that lady who was on bike, his eyes was also like that lady bluish one, actually I had lots of question to ask but I know that a cops are behind me I just asked him one question
              “ let me guess you’re her little brother right?”
                          He said “ no, I am her son”
              I was shocked  my mouth was opened like an manhole, she looks younger, being a mother how could she do those stunts and moreover she fought like an superhero with those two Gulivers  ,I was actually proud of her only a mother could do that, she could have beaten me up when I held her hand very tightly and closed her mouth I was not as tough as those two gulivers . Her son also got up on the bike she waved her hand saying good bye, finally she uttered a word “thank you” and they left, but till the end I was not able to see her face..
              My dad, uncle, couple of officers came towards me after few seconds off course as expected they asked what happened?  I was wondering 14 days I was getting a dream of this girl but in that dream there was no child and there was a car due to which I will be hurted, but here everything happened completely different to it, I was keep on thinking about that and They keep on asking me questions but I was not prepared what to tell them after a while some thing flashed in my mind, for all their questions I answered and my uncle was very happy because I had taken back the bag having money he had his wealth back, to all their questions my answer was my dream which I was getting it since 14 days it was not a truth but it was answer what I am supposed to tell and today I understood why I was getting that dream, but I didn’t understand why it came to me?, why she was doing all this stuff? Why her child was with those gulivers?  And the only question which was hitting my mind was who was she?,  but the only thing I could realize at that moment was I had done something which I had not done before which is making me to feel happy from depth of my heart.
    After clearing their doubts and answering to all their questions my dad held me and he carried me because I was hurt very badly
Angrily he asked “ Why you were running on the middle of the road those paths are made for your sake you will not follow traffic rules while driving or riding your bike atleast you do while running or walking”

    “Dad , I don’t follow rules I create my own and I don’t listen what my mind says I just follow my heart”
