Excerpt:
The shrill ringing of his phone jolted him from his reverie. Cheerfully, he said “Hello!” His wife Meena’s voice flowed down through the line, loud and clear. “Please send the driver here, along with the car. We’ve been waiting since an hour for him!”
He was surprised. Why hadn’t Hariprasad gone to pick his family? He had told Dwarka Charan that he had an urgent errand to do, what was it…..? Yes, pick up his daughter from her nursery school, return back to the complex, take the vehicle and ferry his family to the office for the function.
Dwarka was also concerned, as the priest, being a busy man; was a stickler to punctuality and hated things disturbing his busy schedule. He’d be hopping mad. He was supposed to come along with the family too. Hariprasad was going to bring all of them in 2 rounds. And here, he hadn’t even started as yet!
Over the intercom, he contacted the receptionist. “Kindly ask the security whether they’ve seen my driver. If you spot him, kindly ask him to contact me immediately.”
The receptionist wondered why he couldn’t call his driver on his mobile immediately. Then she got the answer. “You see, I’ve forgotten my mobile at home. My wife will definitely bring it,” he fibbed. He was saving on his out-going calls. He didn’t know how to send an SMS and was too embarrassed to ask anyone for the ‘know-how’!
After 5 minutes, the receptionist promptly reported to him that no one, including herself had seen him.
“Please ask the security guards to go and check in the basement!” he requested.
“Very well, Sir.”
Accordingly both the security guards went to the basement to check it out. They didn’t return, even after 15 minutes. Then the receptionist Sunita went to see what the matter was. She was scared when she saw the rows of neatly parked four-wheelers and 2- wheelers in the deserted, huge and eerie basement. She didn’t venture far. She just glanced right and left from the bottom of the stairs leading to the basement and immediately turned back and fled. There was no one there. Not a soul!
Intrigued? Immediately purchase the book and read on to unravel the mystery!
