Siddartha wore full leather pant, leather coat. He loaded AK-47 gun and hid it inside his coat. Then he went to god’s photo.        

Siddartha said, “Please help me succeed in the job I am going to do. I have to free Reshmi. The auspicious time for marriage should not be missed.”

Siddartha climbed on his motorbike. Bike moved. He went past the city outskirts and entered the forest. He was going in the darkness alone on the bike.

Afzal gets good news

At the same time, commando Ramdev woke up Afzal in jail. His hands were tied at his back. Afzal shouted in protest. “Is it already time?”

Looking at his watch, Commando said, “No. It is only 3:30am.”

Crying, with pain and sadness Afzal said, “I am not ready to die. Please don’t hang me. You may keep me in jail for as many years as you want.”

Coolly, Ramdev said, “You are not going to be hanged. We are releasing you.”

But Afzal did not believe him. He thought he was teasing him.

Crying again with pain and sadness Afzal said, “Is it? I know. You are freeing me from this world itself.” 

Afzal was taken out of the cell. TV crew started capturing the scene. Afzal was very angry. “Are you planning to hang me in front of the TV so that you can celebrate by showing to the people all over the world? I will be reborn in Pakistan and fight against this nation.”

Just then, Ramdev’s cell rang.  It was Bilal.    

Bilal said on phone, “Give phone to Afzal. I want to talk to him.”

Ramdev held the cell to Afzal’s ear.

Bilal said on phone, “Salam vale kum. Afzal bhai. I am Bilal talking.”

Afzal was surprised. “What? Is it really you? From where?”

Bilal said happily, “Afzal bhai, you are being released. They are bringing you to this spot by helicopter. That judge who gave you capital punishment is now in our hands.”

Afzal was very happy. He couldn’t believe his ears. “Bahut shukariya. You have done a great job. Jihad jindabaad. Pakistan jindabaad. India murdabad.”

Hearing this, Ranmdev got very angry. He gave one blow to Afzal.         “Bastard, if you say one more word against our country, I will slit you into pieces.”

Blood oozed from Afzal’s mouth. Bilal saw this on TV. He was shocked.

He said seriously, on phone, “Eh commando, if you hit our Afzal once more, I will drink all the blood in your judge.” 

*********************

Afzal was taken out of the jail. Helicopter was ready. Public was watching everything in their houses on TV. Everyone was shocked to realize that the big terrorist was going to be released. Everyone was sad.

Whole nation was boiling. All were tension. Some were cursing the government. Some were feeling pity for the judge.

Afzal was made to sit inside the helicopter. 4,5 commandos sat with him. Door closed. All this was shown on TV live. 

Randev phoned to Bilal. Commando said on phone, “We are bringing him. Tell us where your spot is.” 

Helicopter rose in the air.

Watching TV, Bilal said happily, “Come to the devara hill in the forest. There is place for the helicopter to land. Come to the lonely house on the hill.

Helicopter went up and the live telecast was cut off.

In the hideout, Bilal and his men shouted with happiness. 

Going near the Judge, Bilal said, “You have not seen Pakistan, have you? I will show you.”
