Chapter 12
In the morning every one was out in the yard seeking warmth of sunlight. None of them had slept for more than half an hour. They took their bath and were out fresh. After some light chat Narendra suddenly asked “Where is Amit” “He must be taking bath and would be out soon” said Dr. Singh smiling “But did not hear anything from his room” said mama ji how had occupied the room adjacent to his “When I was coming out thought he would be here before anyone of us” They all started feeling sense of foreboding about Amit late arrival. They all leapt forward towards the room he was in. He was asked to stay in the room farthest from the entrance. This may somehow provide some safety they had thought. Now with Amit not showing up they had sense that something would have gone terribly wrong. As they approached his room they feared that they may find the doors opened. They tried to push the doors but they held their places. The doors were locked from inside. They started banging when they did not got any reply from Amit. It was time that they broke the doors. They were feeling their hearts beating on their chests. It would be a great tragedy if something happened to Amit. Then the doors opened and Amit stood at the entrance of the door feeling confused.
“Why are you all banging the doors so loudly” asked Amit feeling agitated that he was not allowed to sleep peacefully “What? You had all of us worked up. We were about to break this door.” Said Narendra “I was sleeping as it is still too early to wake up” said Amit innocently. “And I thought that we were here because we worried about you” said Dr. Singh (senior) “Just get fresh and come out as soon as you are ready” said disgusted mama ji “Can you imagine he was sleeping? And I was not able to sleep because I thought he was in danger” said Narendra “You are being paid by him so that he can sleep peacefully” replied Dr. Singh (senior) playfully “I think you are right” said Narendra shaking his head thinking how someone can sleep with all this danger around “I think it is good for him that he had some sleep. Most of his troubles are because he was not getting enough sleep” said Dr. Singh (senior) They all agreed that it was god for Amit to have slept. Then they went out in the sun laughing at this recent development. When human mind is at worry even a simple problem becomes a life or death situation. Without thinking that Amit might have been sleeping that all thought that something had happened to him. In the end it resulted in a great anti climax. But they all were happy at this ending than something having happened to Amit.
