INSOMNIA - CHAPTER 1

 

The night was quite dark, but I could see the path as I walked along the streets of Gurrinder street. As my eyes moved, I noticed the glasses of buildings gleaming in the moonlight. The moon was quite dark and large.I moved the strands of hair lying in front of my eyes. My eyes were drowsy but I couldn't sleep.  It had been over a week since I lost my sleep. Suddenly, I heard a car honking, it moved towards me and parked in front of me. The glass slid down and a hand came out... It moved as if the person was calling me. I walked towards and the car and heard a large voice with a huge bass: " Amal... Are you Amal Tripathi ?"

 

I hesitated for a moment. I looked at his hand, it was quite hairy and very white... I could see veins running through his hands. I was afraid, whether he was my father's or mother's friend... If they informed my parents about it I am sure to get grounded! At last after gaining some confidence, I replied "Yes, I am Amal Tripathi... What do you want ?" He replied in a very casual voice " Can you show me the way to Rishi's home ?" Yes, Rishi was my friend, my best friend... he must have told about me to his relatives... and I replied "Go straight and take a right turn and you are done" and he replied " Thanks!" and I started walking...

 

Sorry I had not yet introduced myself! I am Amal Tripathi from Kerala.. I am a student of Auixlium Nava Jyothi school and I am studying in Class XII (Class 12) (Twelve). My exams are getting closer and I think the sleeplessness is due to Exam tensions...

 

I observed the moon, stars, sky and all the things present in the atmosphere. It was damn cold and I was shivering due to cold, still I was walking because I coudn't sleep.. I was afraid, whether I had any disease because of my problem of not being able to sleep..

 

Suddenly I heard a loud bang on the nearby road. I ran there to see what was going on and! My goodness a robber!!! He was robbing one of the most faboulus jewellery shop in Kerala - Bhima Jewellers... I thought I must chase that guy, but I saw a policeman in the dark.. I thought "Phew, Police will catch him" But boy! I was wrong, the police came running towards me!! I ran and ran and at last managed to get home...

 

I had no sleep last night because of that incident, and also I was afraid whether they thought that I was the culprit! That's when I heard something in the T.V... " Yesterday there was a big robbery, the police suspect that it was done by a single man, and that too was more like a boy, the police tried to run after him but he somehow escaped... They say that he had long hair and was a bit fair... Now let's hear the police's talk: " I saw a boy, who was hiding in the dark, apparently thinking that no one would see him there, but I saw him and chased him but he ran away, but I've got a clue, his ID card!" Yes so I think we have got the robber! But, the name is not clear it reads something like: Amul Trphti, but I am sure the police would find the robber!" 

 

And yes! That was my ID Card! I became nervous... I thought of telling this to my mother.. But what should I say?  And suddenly I heard a loud knock on the front of the door! I was very afraid to go and see who it was, so my mother went.. She came back with a very angry look! She asked me to go to the hall and there they were! The POLICE! 

 

One was a large man who was quite good looking, the other was a small but a fair man.. The last was a grumpy man, he was the most frightening of the 3.. I suddenly felt like something turning over inside my Stomach and the Officer asked: "....."
