100 Days - A short story
It was already dark. Shopkeepers were ready to go home. Some were already gone. Noah was seeing all this. He started patrolling the streets of DSLF. He was very proud of himself, because no case of stealing or any other crime was heard from that area. And all this was due to Noah.
He was silently yet happily observing the silent streets. Few street lights were not working, but still there was enough light to see ahead.
He suddenly noticed a man, properly dressed in tuxedo Black, was standing near a closed confectionery store.
Noah, in uniform of a proud policeman, walked towards the man. The man, who saw Noah coming towards him, he flurried and pulled a cigrette out of his pocket. When Noah stopped beside him, the man started talking with the unlit cigrette in his mouth - hey sir, I am waiting here for my friend. I am from the East bay of DSLF, and came here to see my friend, whom I promised, will see him after 100 days.
Oh! said surprised Noah, well what is the name of your friend? Is he a resident of this area ?
The man replied - yes sir, me and my friend, timmy , we met for the first time in this confectionery store.
While giving this information the man lighted his cigrette with lighter, his face was clearly visible in the light now.
The policeman looked at his face and his expression changed slightly.
Then the man continued , - then on every weekend we started to see each other and our friendship grew. And every time we met we only talked how rich we are going to be.
Noah asked- so how much rich you're now sir?
I have made a load sir, and I wish my friend has also made half of it.
We are going to meet here today at 8.
Noah- what if he won't be able to come here today at time. Will you go then?
No. I've came from very far. I will wait for an hour more. But I know my friend, he will definitely come.
Noah- great I am impressed by your respect to your promise. I hope you will see your friend soon.
It was 8 , but no sign of timmy.
The man decided to wait for half n hour more.
He was wandering nearby that confectionery store and 20 minutes passed. The man was about to go when he was approached by a man.
Tall, shady looking man.
Timmy?
Ben?
They were happy to see each other. Ben offered cigrette to Timmy, he declined.
They started talking and Ben was mostly talking about his money. He even showed his watch to Timmy in which diamond was engraved.
Now they were on the roadside where street lights were working.
Ben turned to see his friend properly.
But he became angry and yelled, you are not Timmy, who are you.
The person stayed calm and said, sir you have been arrested 10 minutes ago, since we are walking.
Ben- Arrested? Why? Who are you?
I am an police official, and I came here specially to arrest you .
Ben- But you cannot just arrest me.
Police official laughed and cuffed Ben. Then handed him a letter and said- read and your all doubts will be cleared.
Ben opened the letter with shivering hands and read the letter-
Dear ben,
I came there to see you, but when you lighted the cigrette I saw your face. The police station of East bay of DSLF, had already circulated. They already told us how much stealing you have done, and they also informed about the crimes you had committed. Your face is the most wanted face in our area too. Being your friend I was not able to arrest you so in the meanwhile I went to my police station and requested another official to do this.
Yours Timmy (Noah).
