Missing notebook

8:15:After hovering around the HSB for a couple of minutes in utter desperation, I decided to engage myself in taking help of the human race members present there.I struggled with the busy sweepers.''Madame...blue color notebook..yesterday...hsb336...1-2.....".They ignored me.period.I always perceived ignorance to be the combination of ego+arrogance.So with that theory in mind,If all the people were arrogant of being ignorant,then surely they would have been ignorant of arrogance.Anyways I now rushed to the HSB office.there was one lady placed in the corner of the office.By now ,i was sweating profusely,hoping some Miracle to happen.I remembered the TV Channel Miracle net. Sometimes switching channels,i had come across a lot of flash images of this channels.It was like all those images were being re construed by mind.My saintly thoughts were interrupted by the Lady.I spoke about my unfortunate incident.She calmly said.'We have not found any notebook we find,we will communicate it to you'.
By now i had realized that I was not going to find out where the book is.And i had totally lost it.When u have such situations popping up,you feel remorse and pity over yourself.U try to blame people in the beginning but in the hearts of hearts u know that u were the inevitable culprit of whatever was happening.I raced to the BSB and I met DV at the entrance.He consoled me and told in his usual tone.'Take light MAMA,Its just a notebook".I thanked him mentally for a badly neede consolation.But I had still time to protect my reputation.Women say that men are obsessed with THE GODFATHER.That is completely true. And we should be too.Godfather died protecting his and his family's reputation.The character was all about reputation.He had sound principles.Go to the mattresses;Its not personal,its business;etc.
8:40:After searching intensely in all the classrooms and contacting the innumerable offices in the vast building,I pacified myself with the thought that I did what I could have done.I had left no stone unturned.I walked feebly back to the FM class gathering mental courage with every step on the way to the class.just As i entered the class,my mobile made a weak sound.I interpreted it as a message but being a very lousy mobile user,I did not check the message.My concentration was on how to face Binny.the guy had trusted me with what he had and i couldn't live up to it.

9:00I finally tried to locate him in the class.The class had already started.He was sitting at the other end of the class.He was glancing at one of his notebooks.he saw me and looked back at the notebook.Now that was strange.in the Utopian world,he should have asked me about the missing notebook.I speculated something wrong again.I could not do much because the class had already started and i couldn't make large movements or I would get trapped in the changing frames(vision) of the teacher.In the back of my mind,I expected that he had got back his notes.But the anxiety of confirmation compelled me to open my mobile and check out the message.And Bingo!it was Binny's message and he had got back his notes.I felt as happy as a koala bear who found his lost baby in the jungle.But the million dollar question was where did he find his notes?I gestured to him about that.but he continuously ignored me.I suspected him to be mad at me.Various thoughts raced in my mind.What if he found this book lying in a obscure place?What if some arbitrary person gave it to him in person?I realized that i couldnt escape my sin.I got an insightful piece of wisdom about Sin when i was reading a book.people talk about seven sins,nine sins etc..But the eternal truth is there is only ONE sin.and that is theft.Everything else is a derivative of it.When a man commits murder,he his robbing someone of his father,or brother.Even though Binny got his notebook somehow,I still was robbed of my most beloved possession:reputation.I made up my mind to contact him at the end of the class and demystify the enigmatic suspense of the missing notebook to me.It was killing me from inside.I waited endlessly for the class to end.Who said time is uniform?some moments are so long in life!The 50 minutes seemed to take an eternity to end.
9:50:I walked towards Binny with more that my usual speed.but he seemed to be in a hurry too..I realized that he was running away from me.After a little JASON Bourne Chase sequence,I finally caught him.He refused to tell me where he found his notebook.I thought that he was angry at me but his faced seemed to show varied emotions.I was perplexed and afflicted at the same time.He finally accepted to enlighten me with the knowledge of the missing notebook.
He said"It was in my bag"
and he ran way.
Now every emotion of his was falling into place.I was spell bound and i am still spell bound after that.
but the saga of the missing notebook will never end because after prolonged discussions too we couldn't figure out how the book was found in his bag!!!!
