After a few hours of travel in the vegetable van I saw the fog started clearing and the bright day came into my view. It's my first time to stare at the clouds doing their work. So this how a day works! I was always asleep during this time and wake up usually around ten or eleven in the morning. Now I regret missing this noiseless hours before the sunrise and I plan to do so from this day. 

The van came to a halt and I peeked to see enormous metal gates in front of the vehicle. Around ten guards were checking the van, each guard with a different type of detector were circling around the van. As soon as the vehicle in front of us was approved it was our turn. Within few seconds the guards rushed towards my van and started moving out all the vegetable bags. 

"Drop your weapons!" They screamed at me as soon as I came to their view. 

I looked around and found no weapon with me. In fact I am just eating a cucumber and I said the same, "It is cucumber not weapon."

"Put your hands behind your head and slowly come towards us. Do not try to be funny, you are surrounded by all the snipers in the mansion." The bulky guy in front said and I looked around to see literally 100s of men were pointing their guns towards me. Really?

"Dudes, you all have weapons on you not me. I am the one to say 'drop your weapons'. All I have is a half eaten cucumber." I shouted so that all the men in the back could hear.

Boom!

I closed my ears when someone shot their gun in the air. Oh Boy! It is getting serious. I mean giving a gun to stupid people like them would result in this anyway. How can air be the target to shoot? Wait, did he shoot the cloud so that it will break and rain? 

"Enemy is barehanded. No weapons found, you can move forward. Over." Somebody announced to their walkie talkie and they marched towards me. Two guys dragged me down and tied me to the chair in front of the mansion gates. "Who are you?"

"I am Nandini Murthy. Daughter of the Murthy Mafia. I am here to meet Mr. Malhotra, my would be husband." I said in a no nonsense tone. 

As soon as they heard my answers all of the guards chuckled and put their guns down. Most of them left the place resuming their duty while a handful stayed near me. 

"Look dear, its only eight in the morning and our shift is about to end. So don't make the jokes and leave as early as possible. We promise the next shift guards won't be as cool as us." The bulky guy said stifling his laugh.

Cool? The walls of my bedroom are cooler than these guys! 

"Okay dear, its only eight in the morning and I am hungry. Now let me meet Mr. Malhotra and speak with him in peace. I promise my hunger won't be this light in the next few hours." I replied. 

"Don't say we did not warn you." He taped my mouth and picked me on his shoulders. "Throw her in the tent with others." 

Others? Throw? What am I? A football?
