9. Siddartha follows orders

CHAPTER 9

Siddartha follows orders

Siddartha was waiting near the church in tension. He looked at his cell again and again. He tried to contact Reshmi but her cell was switched off. He looked at his watch. It was 10:30 am. His cell rang. Excited, he put his cell to his ear.

Bilal was speaking on his mobile. “I am sure you are now in front of the church gate.”

Siddartha said seriously, “Yes. Tell me what I have to do now.”

Bilal was happy. He started giving directions. “Good. Now go straight to the church door.”

Siddartha moved towards the church door keeping mobile at his ear all the time.  “I have reached the church door.”

Bilal said, “There is a window to your right. Go there.”

Siddartha turned to his right side. There was a window there. He went towards the window. “Ok. Now what?”

Bilal said, “Put your hand in the window. You will find a CD there.”

Siddartha put his hand in the window and got a CD. “I got the CD.”

Giving directions, Bilal said, “Good. Now go to your room and watch the CD alone. After watching the CD, tell me your decision at 11am. Depending on your decision, your Reshmi will continue to breathe. Keep everything a secret. Otherwise Reshmi’s dead body will fall.”

With tension, Siddartha requested, “Please do not harm her. I will go and watch the CD as you say.”
