It was too dark. Her head still felt heavy. Partial awake
but somehow in trance, she tried to recall the course of events. Damn, she can’t
remember a thing except the feeling that she was very elated to go out for her
first ever date.
Her wrists are hurting with the rope tied around it. She
tried to scream but realized that the gag has blocked her voice. Petrified,
injured she tried to wriggle out that bond, but failed. Tears oozed and
trickled down her cheeks. Slowly few
other incidents flashed in her memory screen. She recollected how she skillfully
lied to her parents to go out on this date with her online chat friend. How
could have she divulged the truth to them, they still consider her a kid. She
is grown up, she is fifteen!!
They had chatted for almost last six months every day
without fail. He now understands her so well. Initially bit hesitant but later
she became quite comfortable while chatting with him. His thoughtful quotes, humorous
one - liners, philosophical reassurances compelled her to go gaga over him. So,
when finally he proposed to meet her, she found herself in seventh heaven.
She bunked her tuition classes and reached the scheduled
spot almost on time. His tall built & dashing looks completely swayed her mind.
She pinched herself to check whether she is still dreaming or what!!. Then
after a while they went for a long drive. It was month of May, so they halted
near a shop to get some cold-drinks. But, then…. After that….she can’t recall a
single thing.
She again wrestled with the
bondage but gave up soon. Drenched in sweat she lay there motionless. It was
still as cemetery outside. Only sound she can hear is of dry leaves & some
crickets creaking. Suddenly, she heard some footsteps and a ray of street light
flashed in as the door is opened. All she can see a tall shadow leaning near
the door. Suddenly, ‘His laughter broke the silence’. She was zapped. It is
him!!! A shiver ran down her spine.
Now she is able to find the
missing pieces of the Zigzag puzzle of her abduction. He had laced the drink
with something which made her unconscious.
He creepily came near her
and tried to feel her body. She squirmed in repugnance & shut her
eyes. Her parents’ faces reeled in front
of her. They are so right…she is indeed a kid, a damn stupid kid!!!
