CHAPTER 14

Time is a rather relative quantity to the human mind. Scientists may advocate its absolute nature, but to an average human mind, the concept of time can never really be absolute. Only a few days back, I had spent 3 hours watching a Batman movie, and it flew away like a breeze.

However, these two hours that I had spent waiting for Meira and her accomplice to come out had been excruciating. Standing in a dark corner, in front of that eight foot wall in a small lane behind a brothel isn’t exactly the best way to spend time. Thankfully, most people crossing me were so drunk that they didn’t really notice me, and passed by me with a glance or two even if they did. I kept to myself, and tried to avoid any form of contact with any person there.

Midnight struck, but they didn’t come. Then I realized my how stupid I had been, and my obsession with midnight. She had asked me to come at 3 a.m., and I had made arrangements according to that too. Only that I forgot at the last moment, in my excitement, and I had come much earlier for that. Three more painful hours on this shady lane with these bags would kill me. I sat down on the least dirty looking part of the road, and waited for them to come.

Thankfully, they decided to come a little early. The road was deserted by the time they came, so there was no one who could see them leaving. I heard their soft footsteps on the other side of the wall, and propelled myself up on top of the wall, with support from the pipe on the side wall. I jumped to the other side, landing softly on my feet.

“Where is Meira?”

“She’s coming. She needs a little more time than me. I made sure the guards were out cold, but we still need to be careful.

“Did everything go according to plan?”

“Better than the plan, you may say. Everything has been perfect so far. She should be out in five minutes.”

“That’s great.”

“I still don’t understand why you’re doing this for a girl you met just once.”

“How do you know I’ve met her just once?”

“Girls talk, especially when they have no other source of entertainment. She mentioned you quite a few times during our conversations.”

“I see. Well, good to know that she remembered me.”

“So, why exactly are you doing this for her?”

“It’s not just for her. This feels like redemption from my sins for me.”

“What do you mean?”

“Let’s just say that I did something wrong a long time ago, and I want to cover up for that now, and this is the best way to do that.”

“You’re one crazy person. I don’t know what you are up to, but as long as you’re helping us out, it doesn’t matter.”

“I’m glad to know you think so highly of me.”

“I didn’t mean to offend you. I’m sorry. You’re a great guy, but it still seems strange to me why anyone would do such a thing for someone he barely knows.
