chapter 5

As per the notice I reached the vanue and our school's foundation chief Dr Atmananda Tripathy wants to resign from his post because he was already 70 years old and he wants to handover everything to his son, and I didn't know much about his son I just get to know from other person that he was a businessman and he studied abroad  and was back to handle his father's empire, but he wasn't present and he will introduce himself in another party meeting. All these matter takes time up to 7pm, after that without attending dinner, I left for home. I was feeling bad for scolding kids, that's why I came back early than expected and decided  to take kids to park. But I never thought something like that will happen ...that would change my life. When I reached home I saw Shankutala was anxious so I became worried and asked "what's going on ? why are you out at the gate?" She said " sry, I'm really sorry please forgive me madam" . Then I got suspicion that something kids have done wrong. Then I said to her " calm down first and sit here" . I let her to sit on a chair in our garden that was front of our house and gave a bottle of water and asked what happened. She said " kids wanted to play outside in the garden so I let them out, and after playing sometimes they said they wants to drink juice, so I was gone  inside kitchen to fetch juice but when I'm back, they were not there". By hearing this I was blackout for 2minutes, I didn't understand what was she saying. Does she means that my kids were not here, they were only 5yrs how could they know anything, they were smart but if really something happened to them what I would do !  how am I going to live, what would I do? My brain stopped working and I called Sudha but I didn't able to speak a word. I just said  "Sudha kids" and started crying. After that for  20minutes  my mind was full of bad thoughts  and Sudha came. She listen everything from Shakuntala and told me not to worry and we have to search for kids. Then we started searching everywhere . It was  impossible to kidnap from our colony because it was full of security and guards were everywhere and also cameras . Then we checked CCTV camera that was outside of our house. And I was shocked by seeing that they both sneaked out on their own wish. Then we asked front security guard but he said he didn't see them, so we checked CCTV camera of front gate and caught them in camera. At that time I was worried and angry also praying that they must be fine. Then we thought where they might be gone! Then we decided to check amusement park and that road because they were very interested to go their and I broke my promise and didn't let them. Both Sudha and I hurriedly started the engine of car and went towards park. Sudha was driving and I was looking outside roads in search for them. I didn't know what had happened to them but i was praying for them to be okay. At that moment i felt that i lost my most valuable things and something big was going to happen!
