Wiping off the sweat that trickled down his forehead, Babu drove
through the heavy rain. The day was losing light as fast as he was running out
of time.
As though on cue, Babu chanced upon the lone, weather-worn house
amidst the thicket. “Someone must have once
built the home with great love” he reflected briefly.
“I’m doing this for my love too”, mused Babu as he pushed
the suitcase filled with money through the open window into the house.
He checked around furtively and then paced about in anxious anticipation
for the next call; from his daughter’s kidnapper.
