2. Bilal arrives

CHAPTER 2

Bilal arrives

In the lonely old house in the outskirts of the city, in a hilly area, local terrorist group in the leadership of Madani was conducting a meeting. The men sitting around him were in tension but Madani was cool.

In great tension, with his hand on his forehead, Akram looked at Madani. “My head is burning with tension. Our Jihadi leader, Bilal had promised to return from Bangladesh 15 days ago.”

All looked at him seriously but Madani remained cool.

Akram said seriously, “He keeps telling on phone once in one or two days that he is coming. He keeps tempting us, creating tension and also giving us assurance. But he never arrives.”

Madani became serious hearing this. “As per the information I have received, Bilal reached Nepal 3 days ago. He has been trying to cross Bangladesh and come to India since one month. Unable to do this, he has come to Nepal via Butan. He is more in tension that any of us. He is a responsible person. He will come on time. Just watch.”

But Akram became tense and desperate. “Tomorrow by this time Afzal will be no more. One Afzal is equal to 10 Bilal and 100 men like me. If he calls ‘Jihad’, the sound will be heard in each and every corner of India. Whole nation gets shocked.”

Madani put his hand on the dejected Akram and said, “Don’t become tense. He is Bilal. He knows everything. He will swim through all difficulties to come to India for Afzal.”

Looking at Madani angrily, Akram said, “Only 23 hours are left. Not only that, when I said that we will finish off the person responsible for this situation and the person who converted our men into dead bodies, Bilal objected.”

Madani patted on Akram’s back and said coolly, “You are always in a hurry. Anger and urgency will not work here. Cool thinking, observation and cruel heart only work here. Only Bilal knows why he did not let us put a point on that bastard champion.”

Madani’s cell rang. He looked at the number and put the cell to his ear.

He could hear the voice of Bilal. “I will be with you all in 5 minutes.”

Madani looked at the men around him and said with excitement, “Oh Allah! Bilal will arrive in 5 minutes.”

Suddenly they heard the sound of jeep. Everyone got up excited and went out of the room.

Bilal got down from the jeep and walked towards the room. Madani and others greeted him. They all went inside the room happily.
