There was a 20' X 10' X 6' well in the middle of the central area. The well was same as we had in our village Shergadh in front of our house. I don't know who would be cleaning and filling that at regular intervals but then it was filled with clean water. There were two adult Neem trees at two ends of its length. All the vehicles were parked in line with the well and the trees on both the sides. It was about 8 am and no one was outside except me(and my Tanhai).
I started cleaning a pin-punchable notice board of my Mom's Beauty Parlour which was packed by Sai Movers and Packers as it is with all the photographs pinned on it. Dust was nicely resting on these photographs. So I decided to clean the photographs with the well water and throw that old notice board as my mom suggested. She was in no mood to continue her Beauty Parlour. I spreaded a plastic sheet made of GNFC Urea bags just besides the well. Then I washed the photographs and arranged them on the spreaded sheet the same way as our Mom arranges all those homemade Paapads(Reminds me of Khichu! Ummm!). It looked like there was an exibition of my family photographs!
Just then my Nokia 3110c's Signum ringtone rang! I took out my mobile from the left pocket of my low-waist blue jeans. "Savan Calling!", my phone displayed. (Savan is one of my best friends, though 5 years younger than me. Most of the time we stayed togather in my school days which made some of my school friends think he is my real brother. Plus we both use to have the same Vadilal hairstyle.)
'Happy New Year! How are you?', I said as I picked up the phone.
'Hello! Ishan How are you? I am fine. Where are you?'
'I am at Gandhinagar. We came here today early morning as I told you before. When are you coming here?' (Savan studies here in Ahmedabad and was going abroad to meet his family in the mini vacation after 12th Science Prelims. So we had made a plan that he'll visit our new place first and then I'll drop him to Ahmedabad International Airport.)
'Yes! I'll reach there in 30 minutes and then we'll have to leave in the evening. I am sorry I am disturbing you. You would be very busy.'
'See now you started again.'
'Ok! Sorry! Sorry!'
'Fine! So you come at Infocity GH0 circle and then call me. Ok?'
'Ok! Meet you then. Bye! Jai Shree Krishna!'
'Jai Shree Krishna!', I hanged up.
We reached the airport. Savan was dressed fine and I was in normal routine dress. So was feeling a bit uncomfortable. We entered the Airport. In the dream it was more like 26th January FunFare and we didn't have any of the Savan's luggage in hand. There were a lot of people around. Moving here and there. Children were running around. There was a large Game Parlour with transparent big windows at the left of the entrance gate. Some Food stalls right in front of us about 100 meters far and the right airport part matched the Imran Khan's film Jane Tu Ya Jane Na's running-in-the-airport scene.
I told Savan, 'Let's complete the formalities first!'
'Ok! And then I want to play Bowling!', he said. He really loved it but wasn't good at it. Reminds me of our previous meeting and his bowling at RWorld on SG Highway.
'Fine!', I said.
We starting moving ahead when three tall and healthy men blocked our way. They were wearing black smoothe jackets with brown cowbow type hats. They were all unshaved. I looked at Savan and he looked at me. It was clear to us that they were either Gundaas or some Terrorists kind of people. I thought if I could identify them why couldn't the security guards?
We both were nervous. The middle man who was tallest among them said 'You both have to do our work!'
We both looked at him. 'What work?', hesitatingly I said.
'You have to keep this bag inside that Cloak room within an hour.', he said and raised a bag in his hand.
Oh My God! Time Limit? There must be a bomb inside. I thought.
I realized Savan looked at me. But I didn't look at him and spoke up 'Why?'
The right man came forward and grabbed Savan near him and said 'You do that or his life will be in danger!'
Savan was strong enough and didn't uttered a word out of fear.
I thought I've to take care of Savan at any cost.
'Ok!', I said. The three of them smiled.
But Savan tried to say something 'But Ishan..', and the right man shut his mouth by his hand and said 'Quite! Obey your big brother!'.
'Wait!', I said worrying about Savan.
My heartbeats ran like anything. I saw Savan nodded and the man left him. Savan came back in normal position. I moved forward and took the bag from the middle man's hand. The bag was very heavy, was of Leather, white in colour with a Black thick string passed though various holes at its top and a knot fastened at the end to lock the bag. I could easily open that but didn't dare to atleast in front of them. I took the bag in my left hand, grabbed Savan's left hand, moved left and then straight to the cloak room door. They turned backwards to see where we were going.
'Savan, we'll keep this bag there and quickly move away from here.', I was pulling him with force.
'No Ishan, there can be a bomb inside. And where will we go then?'
'I know there can be a bomb. But we can't do anything else. And you are not going home today. We'll go back at my place.'
'Ishan, shouldn't we inform Police?'
'You just keep quiet. We've to leave this place first then we'll think about that.'
We reached the door. There was no one looking us. Everyone was roaming here and there. I left Savan's hand and opened the door. It was dark inside so I put the bag near the left wall and closed the door and again grabbed his hand. We both turned back and were searching for those three men. They were nowhere around.

I felt releived.
'Savan, let's get out of here before they catch us again.'
'Ok!'
We walked as fast as we could togather, went outside in the parking lot and got into my Silver Wagon R.
'Shall we call the police first or go?', I said.
'Police!'. He always wanted that and he got the chance.
'Ok!'.
I took out my mobile from the pocket. It was a bit difficult with shevering hands out of nervousness plus was wearing jeans and was sitting in the car. (I've never tried Police's number from anywhere before. And don't know if it works from mobile. But it should work.)
'Ok!'

I dialled 100. It rang and I talked to the Police accordingly. I didn't gave my identity (as if they can't get it if they want) but they agreed to check the airport cloak room. Savan was continuously looking at me.
I hanged up the call.
I grabbed Savan's both the shoulders and shooked him saying 'Savan, Yes! We called the police and they are coming soon'.
That shook was so strong that I woke up. That was the last scene I remember... so DREAM OVER!
What would have happened then? Would that be a real bomb? Would Police have been able to find that?
