Trinity road
Amazing!
My car just broke down, again and I think it's the 3rd
time this month and that to on a deserted road and I am standing in middle of
nowhere!
Khatara kahin ki!
Now what? I wonder leaning on my car.
Hey isn't this the same road?
No..No…NOOO!
I rushed towards the car. Got in and closed the door. My heart was in my mouth. I think it just lost it , it was pumping like crazy! I made sure all the doors were locked and windows were closed, turned off the car lights. Looked around….mission accomplished…...you are alive Vinnie. For the time being at least…..
Breathe In. Breathe Out…
Why me? What have I done?
It is indeed a bad day!
I should have listened to Maa and stay back home today, but no I just can't stay away from trouble. Now deal with the repercussions.
I can't even call her my battery died.
Damn it! I hit the steering…Ouch! I cried.
Shut up Vinnie! I mentally scold myself.
*Flash back*
Good morning maa! I gave my mom an affectionate hug.
Morning sweety, she caressed my face and kissed my forehead. My mom is my sunshine. Her alluring smile brightens my day.
Vinnie I'm getting late beta, your breakfast is ready finish it fast. I have an important meeting today don't wait for me at dinner. And promise me that you will stay at home till I come back, college khatam ho gaya hain toh ab bhatakna band okay she said in a soft yet assertive tone.
But mom…she interrupted me.
Vinnie! She said.
Okay mom I said half-heartedly and waved her goodbye.
I jumped on to the couch and switched on the television and was flipping channels. I stopped at a local news channel.
Reporter: Another brutal murder incident on trinity road. A man in late 30's was found dead in his car. He was stabbed thrice. Here are few pictures from the crime scene.
What are the police officers doing? Why the authorities are mum at the issue?
We are in conversation with our respected commissioner sir.
Reporter: The numbers of such incidents are rising, 5 deaths in last 2 months and the 6th one yesterday seems like a case of serial murder?
C: Yes, the pattern of killing is same. It is the same person.
Reporter: Any updates on the issue, sir?
C: Yes, we are investigating the issue. We have deduced that the murderer must be a male considering the intensity of attacks and strength required. Vaguely speaking he should be around 5"8 or taller, athletic built.
Since the road leads to the highway and has many diversions it is difficult to seal the road but we have assigned officers for patrolling the area.
We request the civilians to abstain from passing by that area and be alert. And seek help from the police if the find something unusual. Thank you.
Reporter: We will keep you updated for further detail. Thank you for watching our show this is….
*Flashback Ends*

A voice made me jump on my seat.
Wh-wh-what's that noise?...Noise? What noise? Stop imagining things Vinnie!
No seriously…
I switched on the car lights and peeped through the rear view mirror….
Its a a D-d-d-d-dog…I said, laughing nervously.
9:05 pm
Trinity Road
Sameer's POV
How can I be so careless? I lost my watch while investigating the road. I got out of the car took my flashlight and began searching for my watch. My father gifted me the watch when I graduated. It is the most precious gift .
I almost walked a half kilometer and found my watch lying near a tree on the other side of the road. I picked it up and when I turned back and was about to walk towards my car, I saw a another car.
I could see the car lights on. May be someone needs help, I wondered. I walked towards the car.
Vinnie's POV
I'm bored…..I should have brought something to eat at least I mumbled to myself.
I heard footsteps coming near my car making me shiver. My face turned pale and I became so terrified that my knees started shivering with fear. Sweat trickled down my back. I switched off the car lights. Footsteps became louder and louder. I shut my eyes tight, trying to block all the negative thoughts.
Everything around became quiet I opened my eyes slowly. A sudden knock on the window startled me and my heart rate shot up. I shut my eyes tight again and covered my face with my hand.
Excuse me, Lekin aap mujhe abhi bhi dikh rahi hain, he chuckled.
Stupid! Aankhen band karne se tu gayab ho jaygi kya, I said out loud.
He could help but smile. He was so happy to see her again. He tried to strike a conversation.
Hey..Are you okay? He said.
I turned to see the person. OMG its Him!
The same guy from the caf. Okay, I admit it he is kind of cute. Not cute , actually hot : P
He was tall, had broad shoulders. He has a chiseled jaw and deep and dark brown eyes. He was looking smart and well maintained. And his hair..they were a bit messy.
And how can I forget , his charming smile.
