After Death, an ultimate truth. by Harshavardhan C (comprehension books .TXT) 📕

“What!”

Not only the High jacks but also the air passengers and the crew were shocked and surprised to see what were there in the hands of the high jacks.

The automatic weapons which the high jacks were carrying appeared to be only toy pistols. How it happened? Was it a mystery? Or was it an illusion?

Neither anybody knew nor anyone could guess as what had happened?

Eight member team, with the toy pistols high jacked the international flight, carrying126 passengers on board, with two pilots, and four member crew. How impractical it was? Really it was a strange thing to see.

And the scenario in the flight was slowly changing.

It revealed the strength of the militants. Now the weapon of offence only became the bone of contention between the High jacks, and the passengers along with the flight crew.

The commander of the high jacks tried to hold the self styled creator and tie him to the seat. But, surprisingly there was nobody in the seat; instead there were multiple bullet holes all over the seat.

Not only the high jacks, but also the passengers and the crew were all taken a back. They all observed all around in the flight and henceforth they could not find the old man in his seat.

There couldn’t be any living being on the Earth, which could be totally free from fear, for at least a fraction of second; the lion, the tiger, the African Elephant, and so also the human beings are no exception; and what if the Jihadists carrying toy pistols and guns and aim at the innocent people? They hold their breath for few seconds under terrible shock. But still they neither decided what they experienced was real, nor a myth, nor the character of the old man was only an illusion.

Chapter: 2

In India at New Delhi on 20th May, 2014, and it was 1030 hrs, counting was going on for the general elections in the biggest democratic countries in the world.

The party in power in India was in shock with the down trends. Almost all the people in Indian came on to the streets distributing sweets, expressing their happiness by various ways and means like celebrating the festivals of Holy with multiple colours, and Dewali with crackers.

The news spread like wildfire throughout length and breadth of India that the party in power was losing, as the opposition party was far ahead of the ruling party in the elections.

The entire administrative missionary including the police and the revenue in the cities declared red alert. All the three forces of India were kept on toes at vulnerable points, not for the amazing results in the general elections, but for the high jacking of the international flight.

So far the high jacks did not made out their demands. They only informed that they high jacked the International flight.

The world had not forgotten the ghastly episode of attack on world trade centre in the USA in the year 2001.

The high jacks took the flight towards Sharjah, their destination as planned by them before the flight was high jacked.

Chapter: 3

In the air and in the high jacked flight.

“By the way I am Mr. Jinnah, bound to New Delhi” He smiled and introduced himself to his co-passenger.

”Well, I am Miss. Sania bound to Hyderabad”

“Are you from Dubai?”

“No” She said

“Sharjah” He asked her to confirm.

“No I am from Pakistan” She replied him.

“Then why have you come to Dubai?”

“My parents never permit me to go to India, if I tell them the truth. And of course there is no direct flight from Pakistan to India. It also is quite unfortunate that we never had friendly relations with India and that is why I have just come to Dubai to make my parents believe that I am going to see a tournament at Dubai. And from here I have planned to fly to India” She simply narrated her story in brief.

“Are you scared Miss. Sania?” Dr. Jinnah just asked her.

“For what?”

“Regarding the hijacking of our flight; and the episode of the old man?”

“I could not understand who have done it and what for they have hijacked the flight? But now as you appraised off me the situation, I am really sacred sir” Miss. Sania expressed her feelings in low voice.

He was a knowledgeable person and he could immediately assess that she was a minor and alone travelling.

“They will never kill anyone Sania” He assured her.

“But they have killed even the Mullah, who was a true Muslim and so also attempted on the life of the grand old man sir”

“It is over Sania, may be the victims opposed them. Or it might be the strategy of the militants that by killing an innocent they wanted to scare all of us”

“Then are you scared of them sir?”

“No I am not Sania”

“Sir can we guarantee everybody’s life in the flight sir?” She asked him quite innocently.

He knew that it was a quite irrelevant question put to him as they were neither cops nor secret agents.

“I appreciate you for your courage to travel alone at this age Sania”

“Thank you sir, but you could not give them an assurance”

“It is not in my hands Sania, nor am I a gladiator to protect you all?”

“Then at least do you know who they are sir?” She was eager to know about them.

“Yes I know that they are militants”

“To which country they belong sir?”

“I think they are all from Pakistan”
“But why they are in the uniform of Dubai cops?”

“Perhaps they wanted to sabotage the plane and hence they have taken shelter under the guise of Dubai nationality” He said simply.

“Are they not the agents of ISI?”

“May be, but I am not sure”

“Then, what the Hell are they doing sir?” She asked him quite innocently.

He knew that it was a stupid question. He understood that she was a minor and that this might be her first experience.

“I think you also don’t know. Shall we ask them sir?”

“No, not necessary Sania, I know that they are doing their job”

“What job sir?”

“It may be to create terror”

“I couldn’t get you sir”

“I mean they want to create great terror”

“For what sir?”

“To make the world governments to shake and the people to shiver under fear of terrible pain of brutal killings”

“Is it your prediction? Or just tossing in the air sir?”She again asked him innocently.

“Sorry Sania I am neither an astrologer nor at least a face reader. But I have understood something strange about them through media. I suspect that they are jihadists, and also there are many such incidents occurred earlier in most of the countries in the world” He just said.

“But, I have seen them today only; and for me it is a quite unfortunate day sir” said Sania. “Yes of course, it is not for you alone Sania, but for almost all of us, who have boarded this flight today is an unforgettable day”

“Sorry sir if I have taken your precious time by putting you umpteen questions” She said apologetically.

“No, not at all Sania, I am not that impatient to answer any number of questions Sania” He replied politely.

“Sir, I fear that there are aged people, besides women and small kids too. If anything adverse does happen or anybody suffers from any serious ailments, what is their fate sir?” She expressed her doubt.

“Don’t bother Sania, we have a fine doctor in the flight” He assured her.

“Is it? Who is that God sent man sir?” Sania asked him anxiously.

There was suddenly an interruption, and one of the high jacks drew their attention.

“Mr. Jinnah, don’t take our silence as advantage, and talk as you like” The leader of the high jacks pointed out the barrel of his gun to him.

“I am sorry gentleman; I don’t mean that, as the girl is frightened, I have just tried to cajole her”

“Will you please shut your mouth and do your business?”

“Sure, but in fact my business starts now only gentleman”

“Are you a cop Mr. Jinnah?” The commander of the high jacks asked him.

“Your are quite wrong gentleman” “I suspect that you are a secret agent to India?”

“Sorry gentleman. For your information I am a doctor by profession”

“Quite interesting. What is your specialization?” The leader tried to elicit his knowledge in medicine.

“I have done master’s degree in psychiatry and now my concern is the passengers in the flight; and almost most all are in panicky, especially the aged, the women and the kids. They may need my treatment. If you permit me, I am ready to treat them and council them” He spoke to them politely.

While one of them had been guarding him, the remaining went to the cabin of the crew and discussed among them and finally they decided.

“Are you a Muslim? And are you a citizen of Pakistan?”

“Yes I am a citizen of Pakistan as I am born and brought up there only. But, I am not a Muslim”

“What?”

“Yes gentleman, I am sorry to disappoint you, but I only said truth” Mr. Jinnah said coolly.

“Nonsense, born and brought up in the land of Pakistan, name is Mr. Jinnah, speaking Hindi, Urdu and Arabic so fluently; but still you have got the audacity to deny yourself a true Muslim” The commander said seriously.

“I didn’t speak anything wrong gentleman; but I only said that I am not a Muslim”

“Shut up”

“I am sorry I can’t tell you a lie to please you gentleman”

“Better shut your mouth”

“You are unnecessarily becoming angry with me gentleman?”

“You bloody fellow don’t irritate me with your callous attitude” The leader gave a knockout punch on his left shoulder.

“Oh my lord forgive them please” Mr. Jinnah suffered severe pain as his left collar bone was fractured.

“Shut up you bastard and no one will save you”

“It’s okay, but I told you the fact gentleman; and if you want to see my passport you may please” He hold his pain and replied.

“Quite idiotic replay; what is the sanctity of your useless passport? If they are really useful for screening, how could we sabotage the flight man?”

“In some cases, what you said may be true, but not all times. But, I am carrying original passport and I am not speaking any falsehood. The fact is that my mother is a Muslim and my father is a Hindu. Now it is up to you to decide, to which religion I belong?”

“Obviously you must be a Muslim” Said one of the militants.

“No, I am neither a Hindu nor a Muslim; and certainly not the third one, i.e. the blend of the two; and so I call myself as an alien on the earth without any caste, creed and cult”

“Shut up you bastard“The commander lost his tongue.

Now the situation turned tense. Everybody was anxious to hear more from their interaction; and most of the hostages felt relief as they were spared and Mr. Jinnah only became their hot target.

“I don’t understand. Why are you angry with me gentleman?”

“Idiot, do you want to make us fools? Or trying to tell us another interesting story? Don’t be over smart man? We know how to cut you to size, the comrades hold his hands tight” The leader grew wild.

As soon as the order came from the commander, two of his militants held his both hands back and tied them with a piece of rope.

“Come on comrades take him and examine him thoroughly”

“Hey man move, move as fast as we are” One of the militants put the pistol at his temple region and dragged him.

“Do you want to test people by seeing their genitals and then only you confirm their religion gentleman?”

“Shut your mouth; otherwise your tongue will be cut” The commander shouted him.

“Okay gentleman if you have decided to see them I have no objection. But I request you to avoid your women comrades please. Later you can’t guarantee me free from their molestation, because your squad also comprised of some beautiful and hungry women” Mr. Jinnah appealed to him.

“Shut up you rascal” One of the women High jack’s slapped him.

“Sorry I said hungry instead of
