Chương 91: 'Thief, thief. Catch him.'
Where are we going now?
Ram Babu's house.
This side of Kankagarh is a residential area. All around mud houses and thatched huts. But I was surprised to see tin TV antennas on top of some houses. After a while I got on a road. Then the appearance of the city. New old single storey or double storey house. And traffic of rickshaws, buses, trucks, cars, bicycles on the road. Colonel went to an empty rickshaw at the intersection.
The colonel said to the rickshaw-puller, "Where can you say Ram Babu's house here?"
The rickshaw puller said in a shocked manner, "Ram Babu! He has been killed sir."
What do you say?
Yes. It is a deadly crime. According to the words, snake catcher's death is at the hands of the snake. Did he kill the ghost he used to play with before?
Ram Babu used to play with ghosts? What kind of ghost? Have you seen the ghost game?
The rickshaw puller gave a sad smile.
I saw sir. A skeleton danced on the stage. Ram Babu used to say get up, stand up. If he said sit down, he would sit and if he said dance, he would dance. What dance sir!
The colonel lit a cigarette and said, "Hmm, where is his house? Take us."
Ram Babu did not have his own house sir. Nomadic people. Who knows where he would have come from time to time?
But where he stayed?
At Mohan Babu's house. He is a school teacher.
Let's go to Mohan's house.
Said the colonel sat in the rickshaw. And I also sat up at his signal.
But sir, the teacher is in school now.
I will go to his house and get news. You take her home.
But the rickshaw will not go to his house.
Take it as far as it will go.
Despite the rickshaw puller's reluctance, he began to move.
As he went, he said, "You won't find anyone at the teacher's house. You will be harassed unnecessarily, sir."
Why, there are no people at home?
No. The teacher lives alone. Not married. He brought her widow sister. He also died.
Surely Mohan had any relationship with Ram Babu?
I heard they are cousins.
The rickshaw left the good road and went on a bad, broken road. At one time we reached a quiet place. There are no houses nearby. Only dilapidated small temples and empty land. Forests are growing all around. The narrow road goes straight ahead. Stopping the rickshaw at one end, the rickshaw puller said, "You can't go any further, sir. Go straight to the footpath you see and look to the left. You will see the teacher's house."
When we got off the rickshaw turned around and said with a little smile, "Huhuhu. Can you get someone to inform the teacher? Try it. Instead, if you give me some money, I will go to the school and inform him. I will also take you back."
The colonel gave him the rent and said, "No need. I will find him."
The rickshaw puller looked at us for a while and got into the rickshaw. Then he drove the rickshaw loudly for some reason. The colonel looked around with his binoculars as usual and said, "Come Jayant. Come quickly. I think the rickshaw puller will go and inform Mohan. He will say that two bad men have gone to your house."
Dry leaves are lying on the footpath. Empty land and dilapidated temples on both sides. Birds chirping in thick bushes and tall trees. A random strong wind is blowing. A house appeared on the left. The gate is locked. The colonel went to the back of the house. I followed him. A pond was seen there. The colonel again took a good look around and said, "You keep an eye on the road from behind this bush. If you see someone coming this way, whistle three times. Don't be foolish, but be careful."
The back wall of the house has collapsed in some places. They are fenced with bamboo. After removing the fence, the colonel went inside. The chest began to tremble. I took the gun out of my pocket and looked at the road. Then the colonel no longer cares. I have been sitting for a long time. Discomfort is felt as well as irritation. After a while, the sound of dry leaves was heard behind. I quickly looked back and saw a donkey going down into the pond. A bag is tied on his back. Isn't that Ramu's donkey? When the donkey disappeared, I looked at the road again. A little later I saw that what the colonel said was true. That rickshaw stopped. A man quickly got down from the rickshaw. Then I whistled three times. By this time the colonel came out. "Let's get out of here. Come on."
We proceeded towards the pond. Dense forest on the four sides of the pond. A little water on the floor. The donkey is eating aquatic grass with a bag on its back in a strange posture. The colonel ran to the donkey. I was shocked to see his madness. As the colonel approached, the donkey started to run to the edge of the pond in one leap. The colonel gave chase. The donkey disappeared through the forest on the bank and so did the colonel. I had to run. As soon as I entered the nearby forest, I heard a voice from behind.
"Thief thief. Catch him."
I looked back once. Perhaps that rickshaw puller and Mohan are coming running. I see that it was read in good trouble. After crossing the forest, I saw that neither the colonel nor the donkey was there. On this side, mustard and green paddy fields are covered with yellow flowers. Empty land and broken temple on right.
