I don't know whether you guys've gone through one of my very old blogs called In the middle of a gunfight ; and if you haven't, then I'm sure you'll like to know about yet another gun fight I've been through last night.
All of you can guess that how much crowd can be on the road at the thirty first night. The city I'm living for last few years becomes one big piece of hall room when they celebrate anything. Every corner you go you'll find people celebrating things in any occasion and I'm sure it's just how things are at your city. Well that's not the story I'm gonna tell now, it's something hideous and one of the most terrified stories of my life.
I was late to join my pals; with whom I planned to spend the last night of the year zero seven. Most of them were friends of Zen (one of my very good friends) and few were my country mates form UK. When I joined them it was 7.30 pm and all of them bought their cars and few other people came along with them. We were like 25-35 people all together and I hardly knew half of them. They parked all the cars in a circle and doing what everyone does...drinking and singing. I don't like too much crowd and I don't do what ever they were doing, so I asked Zen and one of my country mates Owen that we could go for a drive and roam around city watching people having fun. Zen accepted but Owen didn't. So I took my bike, Zen at my back and headed for the road.
I have fascinations for guns and at thirty first nights, gun shots are the most common thing you'd here all over this city. Even the police don't care about that because of it's being a tradition of this country for a long time. Anyway, first we went to the national park and didn't get any room to step in; as thousands of people were there. I turned my bike back and headed for another renowned place called Camp. Zen didn't agree to go there first; because of that place also being renowned for crime, but I didn't care and thought that who would do crime at this lovely night. Camp is famous for another reason and that's because the place if filled of food corners. When we reached Camp, there were crowd too; but not like how we saw at the national park. Watching all those food shop I felt hungry and parked my bike in front of one pizza shop as both me and Zen love pizza. While eating we heard few gun shots and I was feeling that I could do some aswell. The shop we were eating had a fair amount of people in it and most of the shoppers were couples. Few moments later (don't remember exactly) the sound of gun shots were increasing and I felt that a little unusual. I asked Zen to finish her food quickly.
That bullet might have hit the window of the top floor of the shop we were eating, as we saw glasses falling for above. With in a few second another one..but this time not the top floor but the ground floor.. ours. Just a few seats beside us the bullet broke the window and hit the scrolling menu bar. Then another;and another and it continued. Panic fled throughout the shop within a second and everyone started to scream. My vision went blur and I felt like time stopped for few seconds as the sound of gunshots, screaming and broken glasses made my surroundings hazy. I had this exact feeling of time being stopped, when I had the previous experience being in the middle of gun fight. I came back to conscious when Zen dragged me under the table where we had this little shelter from the bullets. I hold Zen and kept her under my arms and watched the mess of the whole room. My vision were still misty and I could hear a fly flipping its' wings. I realized that it wasn't the time to be a hero so I didn't try to do anything rather than holding her tight. I was hoping that help would come. But I was wrong.
The situation became worse.. four guys came inside the shop with guns on their hands and headed to the counter which was few tables infornt of us. Two of the guys who were holding AK47; were guarding the room when the other two were trying to rob the counter. I realized that it wasn't any rivalry, it was rather a heist. They stayed at the room for few minutes and when they left, did another terrible thing. Shot the counter guy left a smoke grenade on the floor. The screaming went louder than it was before when they left and everyone including me was coughing, like we've never coughed before. I felt the room like a living hell and felt like I've been here for a long time. I gave Zens' face a shelter inside my jacket so that she gets rid of the smoke and we were lucky that the window glasses were broken and the smoke didn't stay for too long as the filmy cops came late as usual.
They came into the shop and gave us oxygen masks and I hold that on Zens' face, so that she could breath. After she took few long puffs, I took one myself and gave it back to her. Cop told us not to move until they give order and after few moments few more cops came in and escort all of us outside infront of the medical van. I saw one ambulance taking two wounded bodies. I gave Zen to wear my jacket, told her stay close to the medic van and went to rescue my bike. It was lying on the road and the front left mirror and rear light were broken. Most of the cars parked outside had broken windows and pieces of windshields were everywhere on the road. I didn't have the strength to ride my bike again but as cabs wouldn't be easy to find; so I had no choice. I went to Zen again and asked her to get ready to leave. But cop stopped us and asked few questions about the situation. I described the best I could and brought Zen straight to my place. We didn't talk a single word as I felt that, it was my fault taking her there and hoping she understands that, I didn't know something like that would happen.
After entering into my room she just hold me and start crying like a kid, not because she was still scared but because she's never been in this sort of situation before. It took a lot of time for me to calm her down and I thank God that she didn't break herself down. I wanned to take her home but she preferred to stay at my place.
It's 4.15 am now and I can't find any sleep. Zen's at the other room now, sleeping and I was there with her talking about how we planned the day and how we've ended it.
I'm feeling lonely again..feeling those moment of panic surrounded me for a while;feeling the fear of losing my life, friends and everything I've been building for all these years;
have you guys made any new year wish? I've just made one; when Zen weak up in the morning, she forgets what she's gone through today. Happy New Year Zen. Happy New Year all my friend.
