A Passage To India 소설 & 이야기

I accepted. “I’m sorry, Sidd. Do forgive me.” “Fine, we got to go now,” Sidd commented and held my hand out. The ladies Saatvika was with only watched without interjection. We reached home and began preparing for the long journey ahead of us. I can’t wait to go back to India. I miss my home already. We flew back to Mumbai, Maharashtra, India the next day. The family were all happy to have us back.

Chad crosses his arms, still glaring at me. "Actually it takes hours to get to Canada." I correct matter of factly, receiving more death glares, "And India also is above an ocean." "But why do you just assume it's India? What if it's China or Japan?" Chad keeps asking. "I can't tell you how I know for sure," I reply. "Why?" He keeps pressing.

The good news, the British Raj decided to divide the country into two, one for the Muslims and one for the Hindus, then return it to the nationals the following year. The bad news, however, the passports they held would be considered useless after independence. It meant, they couldn't come back unless they got a new passport under the new country's name or they would become citizens of a nameless country. The parliament was still discussing the transition period including the possible actions to assist the passport holders abroad. Another bad news, flights for the locals going out the country would be delayed for months, giving way for the expatriates to leave the country before independence

His voice, low but sharp enough to slice through the roar of the engines, carried the weight of a storm. “This jet is going to India. Right now.” And with that, Avyaan Singh Rathore disappeared inside, leaving the night sky to swallow the echo of his command. . . . TO BE CONTINUED

“No, I don’t. I hope they rediscover whatever they thought they had in the first place.” India laughed at his funny facial expression. “No, you don’t want to see that. I already experienced it, and it was awful.” They both laughed. “Well, I’m sure when they return, they will find out if I planned, failed, or sailed.” “What should we do next if it fails?” Denver asked with wide eyes. India grinned, hope surging through her. “Baby, you have to have faith. I believe it worked, but just in case it didn’t. Maybe we have started with small gestures and small steps toward peace.

He looked at me and then nodded. "AviNan will be transporting your material through roadways from Mumbai to Kolkata and then to Bangladesh Borders. It will be a safe passage for them and they wouldn't have any issues in doing that. The chance of getting caught will be twenty five per cent," I spoke while he was quietly listening to me.
