was,"what happened to everyone,is their tongue had some sort of error"Farhan said looking around everywhere.

  "Yeah, its really amazing na,where had all gone?",what we had to do with them,we should go,"I said and we moved forward,but suddenly our legs stop "if you see anything strange than don't quickly react, being a detective is not an easy job,you should have an extreme sense of humour that will only lead you to catch your prey…..",

  “Who is this?"

  "I don't know"

  "Is he learning about something,I bet he is"Farhan said looking at the window.

  It was on other side of room,not the one who was snoring yesterday.We three moved towards the window to see what was going on there,when we linked our nose to the window,we saw a fat guy moving around the room with a book in his hand,he was quickly changing his position,he was lanky,stooping and frowning through his horn rimmed spectacles,when we had moved backward Farhan said,"he started learning now only,the session had not just started also.”

  "He was not learning,he was just doing Paratredding ,and according to me they all are doing the same thing"study","Goku said.

  I was also now having some tension that they all were studying and we were enjoying ourselves,we were really rough,and I am sure that Farhan was also thinking the same,because his face and talks were clearly stating this.We did not find a single fellow until we reached the gate where my Nepali friend was sleeping in the chair.

  "He is a very good guy,helped me to find my room,but when he was going, he laughed at me,as if there is something strange in this room,but we did not find anything strange there, did we Goku?"as Farhan turned his neck he didn't find Goku there.

  "Goku,Goku?"

  “I am here" a voice which was familiar to us came from behind the table of our door keeper ,Goku was having something in his hand which he picked up from the place where he was standing

  "What's that"I shouted,nothing great for us,but a photo of this man with his family,how happy they are"he said while showing the photo to us.

  That was a family photograph,in which our young Nepali man was standing with his wife sitting next his legs, also two children standing on either side of the couple,the child standing to left was having a face like his father,but the other at the right side was not looking like them.

  "Isn't the boy different from his parents?"," may be,he is, but for a while see the smile of these fellows don't you think it's different,"we both looked at Goku ,how different could be one's smile,and this was only the difference between us and him," its not the smile that comes when we laugh for photographers to click,it's,it's natural".

  We didnot get a chance to say anything else,because the owner of that picture was already at his senses now"how it came to you,you would have stole it,learning the detection and doing the things of thieves,I will clear it,clear it I will".

  I was simply not understanding that why he was saying all these things looking at me,but I got the answer within me only after a second,and that was because,the picture was in my hands at that time.

  "I didn't,I did't steal it,"I got in a real worry at that time,he was accusing me for being stolen something,"he is drunk,let me take over him,"Farhan said and moved to dot him one on the face,but Goku stopped him in between.

  "Don't beat him,he is not in his senses now,calm down,calm down we should leave him alone and move other wise some more problem will be created"Goku said and took the photo from me,putting it into the pocket of owner.We all, without wasting a single second escaped, leaving the drunk man shouting.

  “What a scene he would create there,I am afraid if he tells something in the morning to that old man,"I said"take it easy,nothing would be wrong,the things become wrong when you think that they are becoming wrong,nothing would happen and what you think the principal is stupid enough to believe a drunk man,"Goku said making me feel good.

  We soon found a book shop near us,it was not big and also there was no crowd.

  "These are some special books of detection,so may we don't find the them here,"I said looking at the condition of the shop.

  "What goes of us in trying"Goku said and we move towards that.

  The shop was having many a books lying here and there,they were not arranged in a way,we usually see at the book shops,a person within the age group of forty was sitting on the floor with some book in his hand,and was neglecting a known person of us ,the girl,the enemy of us,who tried to teach us in the morning.

  "See she is there,the lecturer,started giving lecture on every aspect of human knowledge,I simply don't understand why she always comes at the place where we are going? Is she the magnet and we are the iron,"I said looking at her.

  "Why you don't like her,she was saying right only that day,that we should not examine a person by his appearance,it is his knowledge that should be judged",Goku said,he was looking at her smiling.

  We both understood the whole matter at a single glance,we were his friends and he was hiding the things from us that he was in love.We looked at him in a very awkward manner,it was clearly stated that he understood what we were thinking .

  "We should move forward,but I didn't understand that why she is here at the time when all the others were busy in studies,and the man there is not giving her the demands,what's the matter there,come",Goku said and within a minute or two he was at the shop with us following him.

  We stand still in front of the wooden shelfs separating us from that stock or more probably that pile of books,"hey",Goku said to the girl,"oh hi,so you escape from the clutches of Mr Ashlesh .

  "Ashlesh ,who is this now?,"I said.

  "Our principal,you don't know him?".

  "Yes,we know him,ha,ha"Farhan said avoiding any other lecture by her,"so what are you doing here?"she asked looking at Goku ,"I am not having books now,so I thought that,I should have it,otherwise I will have to stand in front of that man again","the session is going to start now,and still you are without books,""no,I was not having any shop of books there at my village,so I should have it now".

  "Ok you are at right place,dad,please provide them with the first semester books,of ours ,".

  The girl said looking at the man who was reading book, we all looked at each other,in a very exclaimed manner,he was her father.

  "We have been living here for a very long time,my mother died in an accident,","oh ,it would have been quite difficult for you to ensure a comfortable living,it's difficult,very,very difficult"said Goku .

  "Yes,it was but just for the beginning,now I had learned to live without mother and my father without a wife,".

  "Priyanshi ,wouldyou please help me to get through this huge pile ,"the secrets of modern weapons"is behind this,I would surely not be able to go through this,".

  "Coming dad ,I am coming in a minute " she said and moved inside.

  "Priyanshi,what a good name",it was not said by Goku,but I am sure that he would have thought it within himself,we did not have to tell her about the books we want,because she knew it better than us,after nearly ten minutes she came up with the books.

  "These are the things of your interest."

  There were nearly five books and they all seemed to have a layer of dust, covering them completely which she removed after passing a cloth through it,we made payment for it and were ready to leave,but then only,Gokus intention started to come out.

  "We are going to have an ice cream, would you like to join us?".

  "Aan,I have to clear this up,otherwise there will be a flood of books here"she said

  "Ok,we will have it on some another day,"Goku said,though he was trying to smile,but we were knowing that,from inside he was quite sad.We left from the place,with the books inside a poly bag,I would have helped him to lift it,but he carried it alone all along the way,we stopped at a parlour area and ordered two butter scotch,and a chocolate for Farhan.

  "You should also try butter scotch,it tastes good"I said to him,"I had not tasted anything except this,I like this only."

  The ice cream was acting as the best way to reli
eve ourselves,from the hot day,we finished our ice cream but Farhan was eating at a very slow speed,his ice cream was still one fourth remaining .

  "Would you need an hour more to finish it,"I said.

  "I look at every side of coin,if I would have had it at fast,then I could not have it's taste completely,but now I am enjoying it rightly,"he said and busied himself in his ice cream,Goku and I started laughing,we were unable to control ourselves,how stupid he was,the laugh went on for another five minutes,until he had finished his ice cream. We roamed here and there for the whole day seeing all the gardens,beautiful they were,the best one was the,queen Victoria memorial garden”,it was really a worth visit,containing three thousand different varieties of flowers ranging from,ten different types of roses,to some sunflowers,I would say that one can't have even a thought of his problems at this place,really it was beautiful and the best place in the whole world.

  "Goku,it's quite late,we should have some food now,"I said looking into my pockets,Farhan and Goku both searched there ones also,but there was now nothing in it,except some sort of smell coming from Farhans pocket,"I am not having anything",I said taking my hands out of my pocket,"so now what to do","we will have something,wait for a minute,"said Goku "now what are you going to do,please don't do anything wrong,"said I.

  I was sure that he will be doing something wrong,I was very well acknowledged,with his dangerous mind,"come with me,"he said looking at a nearby shop of
