Coincidence

One night a girl named Iri sat on a chair and enjoyed the rain outside her house. She had a new neighbor. Iri doesn’t do well with new people. So she ignored and started preparing for bed. Next morning she saw a new girl in her class. She assumed that it was her neighbor. She didn’t speak to her and was normal. When she stepped inside her house, her neighbor, the new girl also stepped inside at the same time. While she thought it was coincidence. Next day when Iri stepped out and hugged her mother. When she was walking to school she saw the neighbour to the same. Iri was a little disturbed. But she didn’t take it too seriously. Vacations were nearing and on the last day of school Iri spoke to the girl and tried to talk and know about her. Her name was Peach. Iri really liked the girl. They had planned to meet in the beach nearby. Iri couldn’t come as her mother was ill. Well here is a surprise! Peach didn’t come too. Her mother was also ill too! When Iri called Peach and informed, simultaneously

Peach said that she couldn’t come because her mother was ill too. This was suspicious.

Well when everything was settled when Iri casually saw the news she saw that two kidnappers escaped the prison. She didn’t take it that seriously. Two fine days after, it was pouring for more than two hours. It was the highest amount of rain in that year so far. Iri unusually slept so early as she is usually a “owl”.

At midnight she heard some strange noises but she ignored it. In the morning she saw a police jeep. She was puzzled so she went and enquired about what was happening. She found that Peach was kidnapped! Iri was confused, shocked and all that thing. She had thousands of questions in mind. The first one was why was Peach kidnapped. A fraction of second later she got a message from an unknown number. It had “ATP” and an incomplete word saying “Amster”. Iri ignored it and didn’t even bother about it. She did not it that day. She was guilty because she ignored the “strange sounds” she heard last night and thought she could have saved her friend. The next day she saw a headlines that a girl was killed near a dam, next street.

She was scared that it would be Peach. So she rushed to the spot and saw it was some other girl. But that news scared Iri more. So she grabbed her bag and ran out of the house in her pajamas in search of Peach. She searched all the streets. After a long day she rested in a park. She lost all her hope, was tired and didn’t know what to do. This when she got a incomplete message again. It said “dam”. She couldn’t figure out why she is getting such messages. She thought about this and started heading home. Her mother was so happy to see Iri back again. Her expressions showed how much she was scared. When everything was settled Iri sat down to watch TV and relax herself.

When she scrolled through the channels she saw the word “ATP” in a sports channel. But that ATP meant different. It was about tennis. She got a spark on the incomplete message and decided to show it to her mother first. Her mother was in the kitchen. But she was talking something to Iri’s father. Iri tried to overhear it. They were talking that if Iri is going to go out in search of Peach again she will be grounded and not allowed out of her home. Iri stepped back and started running to her room. She thought that there will be no use if she is going to tell it to her mother. So she planned a trip to Amsterdam, but she lied that she is going with her friends. Her parents didn’t suspect a thing.

So she started her journey. She lives closer to Amsterdam so she took a train. As soon as she reached she started searching for Peach. She didn’t know where to start. So she started with the police station and asked kidnappers who has escaped the prison. policemen say that they will help her but she should stay in the police station because the policemen are afraid that Iri too might get kidnapped. Coincidentally see got one an other message, which was “street”. Iri rushed to the gate and showed this to the cops. They said this can be a twisted message. They started searching everywhere but before that Iri was safely returned to their parents and got a written complaint.

But Iri was restless so she went in search of Peach in streets. She found that the residents in a street saw a little girl running. So she rushed and there to her shock she saw Peach’s phone. She thought that maybe the kidnappers could have killed her. Without wasting time she started searching. While searching two men started following her. She started running and while heading at the end of the street she saw a girl running in the opposite direction. She ignored and ran away. They tried to kill her but police saved Iri and arrested them. She saw Peach at the back and rushed to her and hugged her. Peach was so happy that her friend has worked so much to save her. Iri was guilt free from that day. The coincidence in their life has saved Peach’s life.
