 CH 2: DOCTORS OF HOPE

DORA LEADS EVERYONE TO THE INSTITUTION WHEREAS CHRIS GETS REMINDED BY THE MISSIVE WHICH HE HAD READ ON BEHALF OF SAM. IT HAD CONVEYED THAT SAM’S TICKETS TO BALI, THAILAND HAD BEEN ACKNOWLEDGED. BUT CHRIS MOVES IN TO THE SCHOOL WITH OTHERS.

DORA RECOGNISES CHRIS TO BE IN A MUDDLED STATE. SHE THEN WALKS TOWARDS HIM TO ASK WHAT HAD HAPPENED. CHRIS REVEALS UP ABOUT SAM’S MESSAGE. DORA WAS TRULY NONPLUSSED WITH WHAT CHRIS HAD TOLD HER. UNTIL SHE COULD GIVE IT A THOUGHT MISS.ELENA ENTERED THE CLASS. EVERYONE GREETED HER WARMLY AND SHE RECIPROCATED THE SAME WAY. DORA STOOD STILL AND MISS.ELENA CATECHIZED HER FOR THE CAUSE. SHE SOMEHOW FLED AWAY FROM THE SITUATION AND MISS. ELENA DECIDED TO PROCEED WITH HER CLASS. IT WAS A LECTURE ON ‘TOURISM’. EVERYONE PAID KEEN ATTENTION. MISS.ELENA EXPLAINED THAT THE NEW TOURISM ACT HAS ENABLED MINORS TO FLY INDEPENDENTLY. ALL OTHERS FELT GLOOMING EXCEPT ONE.

IT WAS DORA WHO WAS TYING IT UP WITH SAM'S BALI TICKETS. SHE IMMEDIATELY CAME TO ASSUME THAT HE WOULD HAVE BOUGHT THEM WITHOUT HIS PARENTS KNOWLEDGE. ALL AT ONCE SHE PUTS UP THE IDEA IN FRONT OF HER TROOP WHEN VIA EXCLAIMED THAT THE ACT ALLOWS MINORS ONLY TO FLY INDEPENDENTLY BUT NOT TO BUY TICKETS AND IT CERTAINLY REQUIRES SOME CURRENCY.

THEN ROSE CAME TO CONVERSATION “MAYBE,SAM WENT TO BALI WITH HIS PARENTS OR AT LEAST WITH THEIR KNOWLEDGE. THEY DECIDED TO DISCUSS THE SAME WITH SAM'S PARENTS BY THE EVENING AFTER THE SCHOOL AND IT SO HAPPENED THAT THEY MET THEM- WAYNE AND LEO. WHEN THEY HAD ENQUIRED THEM ABOUT THE TICKETS TO BALI WAYNE TOLD ‘SAM WENT TO BALI WITH HIS COUSINS A MONTH AGO, BUT WHAT DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH THE MATTER THAT SAM'S MISSING?’

ROSE WAVED HER HAND TO WAYNE AND LEO AND LEFT THE SCENE WITH HER CONSOCIATES. NO ONE KNEW WHAT TO DO NEXT, BUT THEN JOHN CAME UP WITH AN IDEA. HE SUGGESTED TO CROSS-QUESTION SAM’S COUSINS IN NEED OF ANY TRACES FOR THE CAUSE OF THE CONUNDRUM. EVERYONE CLINCHED WITH HIM.

JOHN SET UP TO MEET LIZZIE [ONE OF THE COUSINS WITH WHOM SAM TRAVELLED WITH]. HE ASKED HER FOR ANY ABNORMALITIES DURING THE TRIP. SHE SEEMED TO GIVE IT A THOUGHT, BUT THEN SUDDENLY EXCLAIMED BY PUTTING A ‘NO, NO….NO’ TO THE QUESTION. JOHN COULD SENSE SOMETHING FISHY, BUT HE DECIDED NOT TO HAVE ANY FURTHER INTERROGATIONS WITH HER AND TURNED BACK HOME.

HE COULD INFER THAT LIZZIE WANTED TO HIDE SOMETHING FROM HIM AND WAS TOTALLY FRIGHTENED TO OPEN UP WHEN HE INTERROGATED HER.

NOW IT WAS VIA’S TURN. SHE WENT ON TO MEET OPAL [AN OTHER COUSIN WITH WHOM SAM TRAVELLED WITH]. SHE STARTED PUTTING UP QUESTIONS TO HIM GRADUALLY MOVING IN TO THE MATTER. INITIALLY,

VIA ASKED, “HEARD THAT YOU GUYS WENT FOR A TRIP TO BALI, IS THAT TRUE? BECAUSE SAM DID’NT TELL US ANYTHING ABOUT THAT, SO THOUGHT OF ASKING IT TO YOU.”

OPAL SAID, “YEP, IT’S QUITE TRUE THAT WE MOVED IN FOR A TRIP TO BALI WITH SAM.”

VIA: THEN....HOW WAS IT? YOU GUYS MUST HAVE ENJOYED A LOT.

OPAL: OF COURSE, WE DID AND IT WAS SO COOL SPENDING TIME IN BALI.

VIA: ARE YOU GUYS BACK EMPTY-HANDED FROM BALI, HAVEN’T YOU BOUGHT ANYTHING FROM THE PREPOSSESSING STREETS OF BALI.HAVE YOU?

OPAL: YEAH, WE DID.

AND THEN OPAL TURNED UP SHOWING VARIOUS ITEMS THAT THEY HAD BOUGHT IN BALI. VIA WAS TRYING TO FIND SOME CLUE FROM THEM, BUT SHE COULD NOT.

THEN OPAL EXPLAINED HER ABOUT A SPECIAL PLAYSTATION. VIA PAID MORE CONCENTRATION TO GET MORE INFO ABOUT IT FROM HIM. HE SAID THAT ‘SAM WANTED IT AT ANY COST, BUT THE MERCHANT TOLD HIM IT WAS NOT POSSIBLE TO CARRY THE PLAYSTATION IN THE FLIGHT FOR VARIOUS REASONS. SAM WAS WORRIED TO KNOW THAT, BUT THE MERCHANT GAVE HIM AN OFFER THAT THE SAME WAS AVAILABLE IN CALIFORNIA WITH HIS DEAREST MERCHANT. SAM WAS VERY EXCITED TO KNOW THE DETAILS OF THAT MERCHANT AND HAD NOTED THEM ALL FROM THE BALI MERCHANT. HOPE HE GETS TO BUY THAT ATLEAST BY TODAY’. VIA WAS SHOCKED BY HIS STATEMENT AND SHE RETORTED “WHAT! TODAY?”. OPAL REPLIED, “YES, THE MERCHANT ORDERED SAM TO MEET THE CALIFORNIAN BY TODAY FOR THE PURCHASE AND SAM INFORMED ME THAT HE WOULD MOVE TO THE SHOP BY TODAY FOR THE SAME”. VIA SAID, “I’M EXCITED TOO OPAL... TO USE THE PLAYSTATION OF SAM, BUT BY WHICH TIME OF TODAY IS HE GOING TO PURCHASE IT, ANY IDEA?”.

OPAL: PROBABLY BY TODAY’S EARLY MORNING BY 4 OR 5. BECAUSE, THAT IS HOW THE MERCHANT HAD ORDERED HIM TO DO. I GUESS HE WOULD HAVE PURCHASED IT BY NOW. 

VIA WAS TRULY HAPPY FOR FINDING SOME PIECE OF HINT IN THE SEARCH OF SAM.SHE COULD ALSO FIND OPAL TO BE HONEST WITH HIS ANSWERS AND NEVER SEEMED CONFUSED AND WAS OPEN AND COOL.

JUNE WAS YET TO BE QUESTIONED, BUT JOHN AND VIA OPENED UP ABOUT THEIR OPINIONS WITH THE OTHER THREE ABOUT LIZZIE AND OPAL.CHRIS SUGGESTED TO EXPLORE INTO THE MATTER OF THE MERCHANT, AND DORA AND ROSY PRESCRIBED TO FIND THE REASON WHY LIZZIE WAS SCARED WHEN SHE WAS QUESTIONED BY JOHN.

ALL OF THEM HAD AN HOPE THAT THEY COULD SOMEHOW SUCCEED IN THE SEARCH OF THEIR BEST FRIEND VERY SOON WITH THE HELP OF THESE TRACES. WHEREAS CHRIS GETS READY TO MEET JUNE AND DISCUSS WITH HER.
