The Hound of a Snide [Part 2]


Thunderous claps…claps that one could hear from across the hall.

“Damn it…I am so late”

His cellphone rang showing a message: “Dude where you are?”

"Man...no time at all!"

“Sir, Identity please” the robust security guard stopped him midway.

Six foot…nope, definitely more than that. He looked up to the security guard.

Oh common now, I am in the list”

“Identity Please”, the guard asserted.

“Uhh…now where did I keep my Id?”

Guard: “Sir, if you have no id then I am afraid I can’t allow you to pass!”

“Yeah yeah…just a moment”

Searching deep in his pockets, he fumbled to get out his id card resulting in spilling some more stuffs from his pocket.

“There there…oh wait…no no…this one…yes…this one…this is my ID card”

“Hmmm” the guard took a closer look at the id and then a sharp look at him and said: “You can pass now”

“Great”

Guard: “You do have an uncanny resemblance”

Amazed at this statement he said “It took you this much time to get it? You could have let me in sooner!”

Guard: “We got to do our jobs”

“Yeah…ok….anyway I am late now”

He ran for the entrance; maybe even to barge in the door if that requires, “I cannot miss this”

“….and so it is my great honour to welcome our esteemed guest…”

“Sweet…just in time” he felt accomplished to reach just in time..."phew"

Claps, thunderous claps spread across the hall, echoing the hallway.

“Nice Shot” Mr. Verma was amused and impressed at the same time.

“Thanks” he said.

Mr. Verma: “Boy, you have got some eyes…five out of five huh”

Him (smiling): “I have had a good teacher”

At this they both share a good laugh.

“Ray!”

Tripti was now ready for him.

Tripti: “Umm..are you planning to stand here all day?”

Ray: “Oh…I was thinking of spending time with dad”

Tripti: ”That’s my dad…not yours!”

Ray: “not yet”

Mr. Verma(laughing): “You two…oh…I am so proud of you”

Tripti: “Aww…common now,hugs please”

Ray came closer whispering to her “Did you tell him?”

Tripti: “Shh…not now!”

The walls seemed creeping in as tears rolled down her cheeks when she looked at the old picture of the three together. Memories! The one she cherished has become a nightmare for her now.

“You didn’t have to kill the dog” the client sounded unhappy.

“What’s with the dog? I hate them” he asserted his choice of actions.

Taken a bit aback, the client controlled his aggression and says: “So is it done? Did you get it?”

Smiling he replies “We are close….very close”
