“Hey, I tried, but the number was coming as unavailable, what could be the reason”, Mayank asked Rehan. He was looking very concerned, but his this one question made the faces of the girls grim, and suddenly Neha started crying. “Hey, what happen? Why are you crying Neha”, Mayank asked her. Rehan just put his hand on Mayank’s shoulders. He felt confused, and finally asked, “What? What exactly is going on, tell me, I want to know it NOW!” John just replied, “They’re dead Mayank.” And suddenly the sky turned grey, and rain started falling heavily. It was looking like even sky wanted to shed its tears.
“We hide it from you Mayank”, Rehan told him. “But.. But.. how could you be so sure”, he was still not understanding it. “Everybody is dead Mayank”, Preeti spoke, “and that’s whay Neha is crying.” Mayank just sat on the road, he started feeling feverish. Those 5 are there, on their bi-cycles, standing in the middle of the road, and alone. They were the only survivors.
It all started 5 months back, in the town of Surat, which was situated on the banks of Tapti river, and was the business hub of Gujarat, which is now totally ruined. Few guys sensed it before anybody else, and they have decided to save some of their offspring’s, and then it started the separation of the loved ones. Parents just sent their children away from them, just to save them from the coming tide which was destined to end every person on the earth. The plague started first or after the strikes nobody was confirmed, but it was confirm that those 5 are safe against any such epidemic, and hence started the idea of India tour on the bicycle. Those 5 started their unknown journey to study the different cultures, to sort out the differences among many, to spread the message of peace and love, since their parents knew that world was going to end.
Today after 5 months these 5 survivors were standing in the middle of the road in Shimla with their heads down giving the silent tribute to the mankind they know. Yes they’re alone but together they can create a new world from the ashes of the old one, and they were chosen perfectly to represent the Indian breed, they have something special inside them, and now they have the task to start afresh, right from scratch.
They looked at the earth below their feet from the top of a mountain; nothing remains of it except ashes of the mankind, and torn lands. This has to end this way since nobody listened to the message of peace and then they started the 3rd World War, where every possible striking devices, every possible bombs were used and when they finished killing each other, nature too played its role and wiped the whole mankind off its face. Mayank, Rehan, John, Neha and Preeti brought their hands together and took an oath “WE WILL RE-CREATE THE WORLD WHERE ONLY LOVE AND PEACE WILL BE SERVED.”
