The Eventful Night

I was so pissed off by the end of the day that if someone dared to talk to me, I may have slapped that person and even said worst things to that person. The reason for my frustration was my hectic schedule, conflict with one of my colleagues, ruthless boss and never- ending heat and humidity.

Struck in the traffic, I could only imagine myself lying on the bed and relaxing after the day's hardwork. But this thought was also disrupted when I suddenly thought of my over irritating neighbour. I don't like the sight of him. He is the most irritating person I have ever met in my entire life. In my opinion disturbing and destroying the peace of others was his hobby. In the starting when I had first met him, I considered him funny and humorous. But as it is often said that " Never judge a book by its cover." This was so true in his case. My judgement was so wrong about him. He used to play pranks on me, play loud music at night and this was just only a fun for him. I remembered once he had applied dabs of acrylic paint on my car's wipers. And when I started my car's wipers on a rainy day, the front glass of the car was full of colours and I wasn't able to see anything. I had to got off the car to clear that paint and it took me almost 20 minutes to clean it. This was the most ridiculous experience.

Finally the traffic was clear and I reached home. The time was around seven o'clock. Although I was extremely tired but I first decided to take a shower to relax myself and after taking shower, I went to bed. Suddenly my sweet nap had been broken by the breaking of the glass.

I stood up and saw that my window glass was broken and a white paper ball was lying there. I picked that ball and found that it wasn't a ball, instead it was a stone covered with a paper. I somehow knew that this would be none other than my neighbour. I was so angry at that point of time that I went out to see my neighbour. He was not there, so I started yelling at him and even said worst things to him which I normally didn't say to anyone but this time I had lost my control. All this time I was shouting and he didn't dare to come out.

I felt strange because every time after doing a prank with me, he always came with a smiling face; which I hate the most. After shouting, I came back to my house and again lied down on my bed.

But I wasn't able to sleep because I was feeling little bad for shouting at him. As I was unable to sleep, I got up and sat. Just then I saw the same paper lying beside my bed which my neighbour had thrown through the glass pane. Probably something was written on it.

I picked up that paper and what I saw, shook me. The words were, " HELP. I AM IN DANGER. TERRORIST IS THERE". Suddenly my anger disappeared and I did not know what should I do. First I decided to call the police but then I thought what if he ran on seeing the police or what if he hurt him.

So I decided to go to his house. Meanwhile I directed one of my friend to inform the police on my signal. I went to my terrace. His ceiling and mine were both joint together. I climbed his terrace and went down through the stairs. I was walking very quietly as if a cat is going to pounce on a mouse. As soon as I dropped out of the stairs, I saw that he was sitting there at a little distance with his hands and legs tied with a rope. By the grace of God there was only one terrorist. He was sitting on a sofa and I could only see his pistol and the machine gun which he has kept on the table. I was so terrified on seeing that I could imagine myself being shot by that machine gun.

I still gathered my courage, which was actually broken into pieces after seeing the terrorist, to see something around.

On the left side was his kitchen. I went to find something that could match his pistol and the machine gun, which was practically impossible. I started looking into the kitchen and after a while I found red chilli powder and black pepper. These were the perfect weapons to fight against him as once I had read in a article that red chilli and black pepper is so harmful that they even make a person blind if applied in huge quantity. So I took that weapons and packed in two different papers separately.

Then I slowly entered the room where they were. His back was on my side where he was sitting. Before attacking on that terrorist, first I decided to release my neighbour from the ropes because the two of us can certainly have an advantage over the one. To prevent the voice of my footsteps from being overheard, I crawled towards him and released him from the ropes. After a little effort he was released. We were two now and were ready to attack him. I took out my phone and gave a signal to my friend to bring the police.

We stood up and I handed one of my weapon to my neighbour. We decided to attack him from different directions; I, from the left and he, from the right. We came with a force just like an arrow comes out of the bow and throws chilli and black pepper into his eyes. He could not understand anything but only rub his eyes, and in that time we tied his hands and legs with a rope.

As soon as we did this, we rushed towards the door and locked him inside the house and waited for the police to come. Within a short time, police also came and arrested the terrorist. We were so relieved but still I was thinking that if I had not seen that paper, I do not know what would have happened.

For the first time my neighbor thanked me for something. This was the perfect opportunity for me to give him a lesson of disturbing others. I advised him and took a promise from him that he will not disturb others now and will never do pranks on anybody. The night was eventful for me but as it is said "All's well that ends well".
