A Glimpse

Kanna waved his hand to a person and he started walking towards us. Shiva, who is that person? He is my one and only friend...his name is Arjun.... Arjun accosted us and started the conversation. Shiva, finally we had met, how are you doing?.. As usual he is using his formal tone... I'm fine arjun... and he looked at Kanna, what about you Kanna? you looked to be having fun... Kanna has replied by touching his hair, I'm doing just want I can and most of all I'm having fun because of these two teachers.... you won't believe me, they are really funny... who is this woman? Arjun asked me looking at Akia. Didnt I tell you on the phone arjun… she is Akia, my colleague at the school... oh! Akia, Shiva always talks about you whenever he calls to me, thanks for taking care of him all the time.... suddenly Akia has hidden behind me by looking at the intense eyes of arjun... Stop it arjun, she is really scared... sorry, Shiva...you said, she scares whenever she had chance... I wanted to check it once... Akia, you should introduce yourself...I had asked her but she didn't reply. I had realised, something is troubling her... lets go home, we will discuss the rest of the details over there... Kanna had a sudden call from the work... sorry guys, there are something's which I need to complete... I will meet you later and he left on a taxi... we are also taken a taxi to the home…

We stopped at our home and went inside… but for some reason Akia is feared by looking at the arjun, what is it Akia? Dont you like him to be here with us... it's not like that but I'm getting a bad Vibe from him, like he is suspecting me but don't worry about it. I'm going to make the dinner, both of you get something from grocery store. Thats what she said and I came out of her room but should I have to say the truth now....No, suddenly arjun said it me. What does no means, arjun? I can understand what you are thinking Shiva but it is not the correct time. As she said, lets get something to eat and drink first... because of our friendship, arjun understands me well and clear... I was happy to have him here.

We bought some food and drinks from the nearby store and headed back. While we are on the on the way, arjun asked me a question... are you sure are about this, Shiva? At first I didn't understood what he mean but his intense look given me the answer. There is a word called " Reality " and we have to accept it. I wanted to hear it from arjun so I can accept it too....what does that mean arjun? Is there anything you wished to speak with me? He is a little bit frustrated but finally spoke. I heard it from Kanna that you are love Akia, is it true? Yes, it is true... what about it, I replied him normally. Shiva, did you forgot about it? If you're continuing this means... you are going to hurt her even more. Didnt you concerned about her Shiva, when the time comes... you will be disappeared from her world and do you think she will accept it normally like I do... Stop it arjun…I shouted at him, don't say anything more... everything went to silent for a second...

Sorry Shiva, I didn't mean to hurt you. I knew arjun from the very beginning, I tried to avoid her as much as possible... but every time I did it, she became even closer to me. I wished to tell the truth to her but how can I?...I thought, if tell her about it and she left me permanently and...I dont know what to do I'm even having the nightmares. Arjun placed his hand on my shoulder, I'm observing you Shiva for a long time than you imagine... and I know how you feel when you cared about someone but the chances of this operation are very low, you know what happened last time right. If you don't mind, I will remove you from her life before the time passes. I think it's impossible Arjun.... Shiva, you know about my profession right, I can do it with ease. it's not fooling you arjun, even if you tell her about me or even if you tried to separate us apart, I'm sure she will definitely create a path which leads to me... meaning... she is my sunshine after all .....

Arjun went to deep thinking after my words, he didn't said a single word until we reached home. Arjun are you alright... you seemed to be lower. Actually Shiva, I was wondering... what kind of person Akia is? You won't believe me arjun; she is the scariest, deadly person of all time... Shiva... what? Did you forgot Akia is at home too... what? I have turned back slowly and she targeted me with a kitchen knife, her eyes are black and her appearance is like a devil... arjun, why didn't you mentioned earlier... please help me out... sorry, Shiva... you are the one who said she will come for you where ever you are in the world... but I didn't mean like this... do your best Shiva teacher... he went outside and locked the main door... Akia with a terrible personality walked towards me, any last words... please absolve me... I was shouting in the room and arjun was enjoying from the outside. Arjun was thinking, perhaps I was too much worried about the future...

A few minutes later arjun came inside the house by ending his phone call... what? You finished it already, I thought it was an interval....do you think it is an entertainment, arjun. I was almost died you know...no it's not like that, Shiva... anyway it's getting late, let's do the dinner. The food was delicious today and arjun liked it too but Akia was a little bit nervous because of the arjun presence. I made a sign to arjun to talk to her so she can be normal... Akia, was your name right! Sorry, I haven't introduced myself properly earlier... my name is Arjun and I'm a manager in a finance organization. I used to visit different countries for the benefits of the company... instantly Akia started her introduction but why is she trembling... at last I was safe till the dinner finished.... Akia slept in the bedroom and as usual we were stuck to the sofa in the hall.

Arjun... what is it, Shiva?... the call you spoke earlier... where it is from?.. Oh! The phone call, it is from the work... I see, what did the doctor said then ... how did you know about it? Did you overhear me... no, I had just thrown a stone and it hit on the exact spot. I see, but Shiva will you be okay if I told you... I dont know?... forget about it Shiva and go to sleep... I have a lot of cases to deal with tomorrow...

The next day morning we woke up a little bit late but Akia prepared everything already. We came out of the house and there is a car which is already waiting for arjun... he said to me, I'm going to be late tonight so please don't wait for me... and he left by the car. Shiva, can I ask you something? What is it Akia?.... arjun said he was working in the finance organization but I am getting different aura from him. What does he actually do for living... Akia, I will tell you if you promise me not to tell anyone... yes, I promise... yesterday what he said was entirely false, except his name... what does that mean Shiva? Its true Akia, he is a secret agent appointed by the authority of government and he only works on the criminal cases which are a threat to the nation... really? Yes, he will be having a secondary profile in whatever country he visits... I was saying but she suddenly pointed a question to me... if it is a highly confidential matter then why are telling me so casually? ... Akia remember this, whatever I say or what I do has a meaning to it...I see, if he is here means, is there any specific reason for it?..It is a secret Akia, you will know in the near future. We are getting late, let's go...

The school is normal today, I couldnt be able to do anything particular... for a few seconds, I had heard two people whispering outside of Akia room. So I had opened the door and there are two girls outside fighting over them to open the door. You two, what are you doing here... they are really nervous to speak. If there is nothing to speak, leave at once. Dont waste my precious time... I was about to close the door and one girl said... teacher, we are here for your advice...

You need advice from me, I don't know what you thought but I'm not good at giving the advices... suddenly the other girl said, it is really important, please help us out... I had seen a strong determination in their eyes... well, come in... Lets discuss over a cup of tea. I was drinking the tea but they are still silent... you don't like tea? I asked them... they said no and drunk in an instant. What kind of advice you want? Actually we want to know how did Akia teacher fall in love with you...I was shocked by their sudden question. I don't know what are.... "We are curious to know about it". I was trying to divert their attention but the glow in their eyes... no I can't. The information you are seeking is an endless stream... I don't know where it will start and where will be the end. They are really disappointed by my words, sorry for bothering you teacher.... we are making a manga on the topic of love but we didn't know anything about it. Two days ago hitomi teacher said, you know about it more than anyone since Akia teacher and you are in love but in the end it is not going to possible. That damn hitomi we are leaving teacher… as a fellow artists I don't want to drop their expectations… wait, tomorrow meet me here after the class. You will know everything what you desire... they became really happy after hearing me... thank you very much, tomorrow we will be in your care…

While they are leaving, I got a call from Tatsumi. He said Mr. Shiva good news for you, your novel is about to be published.....What?...
