Cometh to a new city

Min-Kay reached the new location from where he was supposed to report for work, the name of the place is Hidealand, he just checked into a hotel until he finds an apartment to live in. He has bruises on his right knee and elbow that he is ignoring, at this point in life he doesn't care, he had led a pretty mediocre lifestyle until this point, never took risks, never socialize enough to have friends, and had no luck with ladies. The looks didn't have much part to play even though he had a good face structure but were dragged down by morbid obesity. All the timid workouts didn't burn many calories. Nothing was astonishing to brag about, all the people he encountered were like a shower in the summer it was cool but it was over soon it was like he was in the train station, and all the people he encountered or made friends with were nothing more than trains, onboarded onto him but for a while most of the times left with disappointing him, therefore he didn't expect anything from anybody, you cannot feel disappointment or heartbreak if you didn't set any expectation from that person. But life wasn't so linear that he will not face similar ordeals in near future.

Min-Kay didn't have much of a hobby, so he was in the hotel figuring out which food order to place for dinner as he didn't have much food during the morning flight and his travel to the hotel, tomorrow is Sunday and from Monday he intends to work from the office. After having Hidealand cuisine he went to the roof of that hotel which had a pretty good view of the entire city so sat in a place undergoing the same routine he had back in his hometown, seeing the dark sky, a smaller number of trees fluttering by winds and more traffic noise. He started having drowsiness and cramp in his stomach, the food might have played a role in that but after some time before he closed his eyes, he had a glimpse that he was at least 10 m high above the roof with no support. The next morning, he woke up at 10 km far away from his hotel near the local fish market with all the drunkards in the backward, now is the time for panic and his first guess of what is happening to him goes to all the hours of the movie he watched, which is; he is attacked by an evil spirit possessing him, his so-called family kind of follow old Hindu gods but he didn't have much dedication to them. He was pretty composed for a guy who thought he was under some spirit possession so the first thing he did was to find clues in his body like in pockets, shoe color, dress smudges, etc. and he found his mobile intact but in his pockets, he finds a business card he had no recognition receiving in the entire journey from his place to Hidealand, he kept it in the pocket but the next thing for him to do was to confirm his speculation that is going to temple and check whether he is facing any difficulty to go inside it, so he went to nearby shiv temple by the local market he went inside it which went smoothly without any shaking, seizure. Then he checked on his mobile to configure the map to reach the hotel and he thought of having a walk while figuring, recalling what happened while he passed out, so the first thing he remember was the glimpse he had of making a huge jump in the roof. Then he had no recollection whatsoever before he opened his eyes in that market, while he was walking back to hotel it was quite a distance, so he was looking around in this new city he never set his foot off, it was a pretty generic for a city having tall buildings, apartments, political signboards etc. so he was walking casually trying to have any small hint about his last night and he remember having a business card on him, so he brought out the card from his pocket and searched for some details like name, weblinks, phone number etc. as he was going through he saw that it was the business card of a lawyer named Sinika, he gather his wits and called her from a local call booth, the number rang she picked it up ' who is it?' he replied straight forwardly ' Hello, I got your number from a business card which I had in me, do you remember giving any cards yesterday?' she replied ' hang the phone right now, call me from an untraceable phone or local call booth from a far place from where you are living , you are in deep trouble' he hanged up immediately and now he can feel the panic, adrenaline all kicking in his body, what the hell did he do? He went straight to his hotel and now he doesn't feel like eating but his stomach is growling like crazy so he had a pretty big lunch in his hotel room and slept for a while but this time her words were ringing in his ear 'you are in trouble' he woke up and thought what the hell did he do? Assault, Battery, Rape, etc. all the worse things in the world were rounding in his mind and he couldn't wait any longer and went straight looking for a call booth making sure that there is not a crowd by that and after 30 min of searching he found a call booth suiting his need, he called her holding the card in the other, this time her phone is ringing and she is not picking up straight as she did earlier, he called her again and she picked up ' who is it?' he replied 'Hello Sinika! I called in the morning; I had your business card. You asked me to call you from the call booth' She replied after a brief pause 'Do you remember what happened last night and how I am having your business card?' he was shaking with panic 'I am sorry did I do some wrong thing to you, or somebody else? she replied 'yes'.
