Unseen Traveler

He left from there, I closed the door of the house and went to the balcony. Those people kept talking to each other for a while. A policeman was explaining something to the security guard of the society. The society's president was also talking to the police. Everyone was looking at my room again and again and were talking among themselves. A neighbour boy was also standing there; I thought to let everyone go from there, then I will call him to know about whatever they were talking about. I returned to the lobby with little frustration & sat on the couch. My eyes were closed, and I was worried about Dad & Uncle both. I had no idea how are they. For the first time, Dad was somewhere else alone. I got to remember what Dad was saying to me a few weeks ago.

That day, Dad and I were watching the news, this news was about Coronavirus wreaking havoc all over the world. I was not accepting & asked Dad, 'In today's era, is there anything that can stop people's lives and make the whole world stand on its knees.'

Dad answered sarcastically. 'Yes, the disaster has started, a demon named Corona has arrived.'

Suddenly my mobile rang & I opened my eyes to see who is calling, it was Dad. I grabbed the phone, 'Hello. ...... Hello, Dad?' My voice was stuttering. I said again, 'How are you, dad?'
