Chapter 2

The door opens up, inside are some men in sitting at a table, at the end of that table stands a young man giving a presentation. a woman enters and whispers something in his ears and he runs out, leaving the men astonished. He starts his bike and heads to a shop, grabbing cloths, bathroom utilities and a small plastic tub. placing them them on his bike he heads of again, his destination is a small town three hours north to Kolkata.
he rides faster and faster till the tub that he kept infront of his bike flips and blocks his view; He is heading straight onto and oncoming truck, he misses it by inches but he doesn't stop, he get there in an hour and a half. He enters a local clinic, and walks down a narrow hallway. He sees his parents and his in-laws at the end of the hallway, all crying. He slowly approaches them and then turns and enters a room. His wife is sleeping, as he approaches the cradle next to her to look whats inside, she wakes up and watches him. A tear roles down his face. The child isn't there.
