Recap
Time was 1:00 am Victor felt like taking a power nap because of the work load of the whole day , he was looking for a gas station to lay over ,Suddenly he saw a little girl with torn flashy outfit walking by the side of the highway,Victor was taken back for a moment ,he pulled over and got out of the car to check……
Victor saw a small girl who's outfit is torn but flashy .. Victor asked " what are you doing hear sweet heart?, Where is your parents?, Are you kind of lost?
Little girl just starred at him deeply without expressing any emotions, Victor rushed back to get some snacks and water from his car , the moment he opened the car Victor was shocked !!!
Yes the little girl was right there sitting at the front seat, " What a #$@#" Victor shouted and droped his mobile and keys…. " Athmika" she replied ,somehow the sound was echoed by the whole area……..
Athmika : Shall we go !!! Victor. : But where sweetheart? Athmika : iam Athmika …shall we go..,.
Victor slowly slides to his seat all the way looking at her , the breezy wind , distance howl, Victor's eyes where wide open, his forehead is soaked.
" But where ?" Victor asked ," up there “ she pointed through the windshield and uttered ” to.. to.. that hill top" Victor sought of bend his head and saw a hillock through the windshield.
Victor slowly inserted the key and started the engine , he was searching for the gear rod with his shivering and sweaty palm , he engaged the gear and the car started to roll slowly towards the hillock.
All this while Victor didn't take his eyes of her , but she was deeply starring at the road ahead and as usual without expressing any emotions .
The road was bumpy with no protections at the cliffs , he drove the car extra cautious, only source of light was from his car headlamps.
Victor slowly asked " Aaathmika… is your parents there?" She did not bother to turn, her eyes where glued to the road, after few dangerous steep bends , Athmika slowly raised her hand and pointed towards a huge gate and said “ there ” , " go there " ……..
Victor stopped the vehicle infront of the huge gate with adjacent cement walls, he engaged parking brake and slowly got out of the car looking at her and the gate one after another .
Victor was shocked to see the board " #$#@ Tea company Ltd" , yes!!! Exactly the same companies boss he is going to meet coming day break.
Victor slowly turned and saw Athmika sitting firmly inside the car but he could feel the vibe of her flashy eyes from here …
