“ You said he did not change a bit. So, he was same as now when you met him. ” asked Pratik.
“ Yes! ”
“ The only doubt I have is. How a four year child have that way of thinking? ”
“ At that time I thought that, every child of my age has the same level of thinking, but as I grew I understood that my brain was more developed than an average child, as the First Guardian said. ”
“ Did you find your sister after Guardian’s arrived. ”
“ NO! ”
“.....”
“ First Guardian asked my name. I replied, “ Gaurav ” he smiled and told me that he would take me to mom.
On the other side, mom called her higher official, told him about Sara and me, and asked for help. My mom was a junior in the ADRX when this took place, so she asked her senior to help. He immediately sent reinforcement, and they started searching for us.
Here, I refused to go to mom. I said I want to meet Sara first “ Your sister is dead. ” First Guardian said that to me. My mind went blank. I argued with him. Something like that would never happen. Then the one who pulled the spear out of the beast’s neck raised his arms to his shoulder level with his palms open and facing upwards. A bright light started forming at the center of his palm. He slowly lowered his hand, but the light created was floating in the air. It changed its shape from a sphere into a rectangle to form a screen.
The light formed acted as a screen, and it started playing visuals. The beast attacked Sara and took her away, catching her neck with its mouth in those visuals. “ This is what happened. Will you believe us now, let us secure you atleast. ” when First Guardian said that, I did not understand what I should do. What should I tell mom, if she asks about her?
“ Now shall we go to your mom? ” I refused for that. I thought that I could not face mom. First Guardian requested me to listen to him.
I shook my hand, freeing myself from his grip, and tried to escape from there. I thought of going somewhere away and not meeting anyone again. I started running. I turned back to check what they are doing. I was glad that they are not following me. I ran for a while and reached the exact spot where they are standing. “ Did you change your mind ” one of them asked. I started running again.
I ran continuously but reached the same spot again and again. “ No matter how mant times you try. You cannot leave this place without our help. ” I had no choice but to obey what they say, to get out of that place. I agreed to what they said and started moving along with them.
But before we went back to the pond. Mom and her team found us. I was catching First Guardian’s hand. Mom pulled me to her side and hugged me. “ Gaurav!! I am glad that you are alright. did these people stopped you from coming back. Are they trying to kidnap you? ” Mom said that, and the commandos who came to search for me pointed their guns at the Guardians.
They were surrounded by guns all over, but I could not see fear in their eyes. They were standing like they are not afraid of guns. They stayed quiet. “ No mom they helped me to find my way back. ”
“ Did you plan to take him somewhere. ” asked mom. “ You cannot kill us, and moreover we came here only to help your children. ” said First Guardian. “ Stop bluffing. ” said mom.
Then Dad came to that place. “ Gaurav!! ” dad was saying my name and was running towards me. He was always calm. He did not react much, just said, “ I know nothing will happen to you. ” He patted my head and looked here and there. Then he recognized that Sara was missing and asked me about her.
I was quiet. I did not answer. “ Gaurav, where is Sara? ” mom asked the same thing. I lowered my head. “ Did they hurt her? ” Then First Guardian said, “ Let us tell you what happened and raised his hand.
“ Don’t move, or else we will shoot you ” mom warned them, but he did not stop. When the screen was made, mom saw everything. She kept both her hands on either side of her nose, covering the face till the lower jaw, and tried to hold back her tears. But she was unable to do that and started shedding tears.
I was thinking. What should I do now? How should I make mom calm? It would be nice if we did not try to roam around. It was me who forced Sara to play with me. I am responsible for everything. How can I atone for that?
Then First Guardian said, “ Crying here will not bring back your daughter. If you all be here, there is a chance of beasts detect you and get attracted to your location. Try to save your son at least and move from this place as soon as possible. ”
Dad and her team members tried to help her in controlling herself. I was not doing anything. I was watching all the mess standing silently.
Dad thanked First Guardian for helping me, and we started moving out of that hill, as First Guardian said. The ADRX team led us to the car. Mom got a call from her senior, but dad answered it because mom was not in a good condition.
He informed dad that mom should report at the headquarters regarding this incident when her condition returns to normal. Dad agreed to that, and we started moving to our home. The ADRX team also retreated and went to their base.
Mom cried all the way till home. After we reached home, we opened car doors with the broken hearts and sorrowful faces and continued moving to the main entrance.
We opened the door and went to the living room. The moment we entered the living room, my uncle, aunt, and my cousin, who were hiding, jumped out with the blast of balloons and yelled,
“ HAPPY BIRTHDAY SARA!! "
