A murder .Dream and Gun



i just completed my last line for my newspaper report.unfortunatly i was not getting any meaty stories past few weeks. my friend forced me to come in an reunion party.she was page 3 journalist. i was reluctant to go. what the heck !i would free food and even karan was out of town for his rock show.i went ahead with my friend.
sunita picked me around seven.althea was also with her.we chated and looked forward for the gossips in the party.sunita had worn a beautiful haltered pink top,althea had worn a cool back top with a red skirt.i loved her clothes.althea had best tastes for clothes.i as usual wore my regular kurti with my jeans.
we reached the party.sunita hugged her boyfriend sagar.althea chatted with some of her high socierty friends.i could hear sunita shouting at her boyfriend for smoking again.i started a conversation with my buddy mehul.i went over the bar to take a mocktail.i was not against drinking but i never wanted to booze.a fear a person feels.it is a fear like the kid feels to blutter out something.chinmay came and started crackng pjs as he always did.he cracked up everyone.i sat lazily with amar,ajay and tejas and talked about our jobs.
then a galnce made me freeze."is it she or ....." before i could answer myself a voice boomed
"hi paromita how are you darling." it was my one time best-friend Bindi!i lost touch of her for about 7 yeas.i was shocked to see a champane in her hand.ajay said"champane,with all those stupid lectures." seriously she used to give a life long lecture of morality.i should have given her a thump on her that time and she bored ajay the most.ajay and bindis arguments were never ending.a person opposite to them would feel either ther are spouses or they came from nashik mental home.well people do change mehul who was shy with girls has become a casanova now and amar who had good boy looks became a dude.well some dont change ajay is still the same -happy go lucky.
"bindi what are u doing?", i asked. "well nothing i took a job at lowe darling.harsh meet my best friend .he is my boyfriend darlling."she said smiling."what !" i gasped.i was not unable to hide my surprse.she had a dum boyfriend.what is wrong.did i end up in the world opposite of me.Bhargav and Sanjay came to me to greet.they asked me who that hot chick was.all i did was glare at them.sanjay was karans best bud and gem of a person.bhargav was a person everyone loved.i lately fought with him a lot.we fight and make up every two days. Sunita came and started laughing looking at bindi.we had to shut her her laughter. sounded to me like eagle hawking.sagar beside her looked like a small kid beside his mum.chinmay and mehul continously laughed.i felt they are like beaver and buthead.althea told me the latest gossip that rahul balan made an international ad for revlon and sanjana is fighting on latest sunil more rape case as a feminist social group.chandu has started his dance academy and now is going around with esha kopikar. tejas was showing his nana patekar short movie 3d animation to amar.he gave the voice over of nana patekar himself. amar had been nominated for cnnes short film animation.i congratulated him.

so i spoke to bindi that whole evening.she said how she went abroad finished her post graduation camer back and found harsh.she was happy to know that me and karan were still together.my memory of that goody girl dissapeared at a glance but also true she was that same warm harted person.i was still not uncomfortable to share with her things like i used to do in college days. everyone started to dance i. joined in.we danced and dance.i found harsh a gentleman.atleast the girl found a guy she wanted.suddenly a man comes and shoots bindi.i give a blood thirsty scream.
it was dark and i was drenched .oh my god !i dozed off.i see my report in the computer screen-'jessica lal case reopened'. i saw around.it was six thirty.i had not changed yet.i rushed home.sunita came. i reached the party.i still had a haunting feeling.i spoke tom y friends but my eyes were still dancing around the whole room.and i suddenly"paromita darling!".it was a girl i knew 7 years back standing with a champegne in her hand.i faintedi could hear bindi screaming somehow i saw the silvasa trip we went first year.she was doing an act.amar,sagar and ajay rolling with laughter.bhargav and sanjay on the bed making stupid faces.chinmay singing 'tears in heaven'.althea and sunita grooming me.mehul andtejas fighting over some girl .i could see a green light flashing.i was in the hospital.i saw all my friends around including Bindi.she said"thank god you are safe." yes i answered "thank god you are safe".
