It was March and raining outside. we were listening stories from ours old police friend in Dreck's drawing room. Old police life stories. Adventures stories.
"A rainy day is a advantage for the thieves . Guess why ? Because it's cold outside and people takes their nap deeply, so it's easy for the thieves to give their work a form------ So, when I was a young policeman and appointed on Rajsahi state as an in charge officer, people used to call me 'big sir' . Once in a rainy day----"
Dreck was leaning against his easy chair and was having a cigar, suddenly said---"Hmm in a rainy day? 'big sir' must took a deep nap then"
The old police friend waved his head in a 'No' "are you kidding back to then there was British in charge "
I was irritated by the interruption on the story----" ok 'once in a rainy day'....then?"
In that moment the door bell rang and Dreck called his servant Ram.
..........
Later a plump typed middle aged gentle man, wearing Dhoti-panjabi took entry , greeting Dreck he said "did you remember me sir? I'm Jay Adhikari from Krishna-Nagar. Just think 4-5 years ago you saw me in Roy sir's banglo (Big size house, usually used for old times houses). Then think suddenly I've to come here for a reason"
Dreck smiled a little , then said,-" Yes, Jay "
Jay took a seat on the sofa then started - "So, think 3.50 pm I rode the train. Then think It took 6.30 to reach seyalda."

Then I understand it was his habit to say 'think' repeatedly.

Then he busily dragged his bag from his solder to his lap and started to search something. Then he revealed a glass-case and surprisingly exposed a folded paper from under the glasses and gave it to Dreck.
         While unfolding the paper Dreck asked- "Roy sir's later? "
----"yes , just think he was coming by himself but he was afraid to leave the banglo by itself. Very pity situation !!
So think he wrote the letter and send it through me. Then I've to return Krishna-Nagar  by the 8.00 's train .I can't leave him alone at night "
Dreck was done reading the latter. "Why in glass-case?" Dreck asked .
"Actually these days I kept forgetting things. Then think I liked reading on the train ,So I've to must bring the glasses, but I don't like to wear them all time but then think I've to being them because of the latter . Then think-----"
                Dreck stopped him before he more juggeled up in his own words and said -"where's your umbrella? "
"I said it before I keep forgetting things. I left it on the train. But don't worry I'll buy one by the bazar near the station " he stand up and when he prepared to leave he yelled "Oh! God , I forgot about the proof "
"What proof? "- I said
"Actually just think Roy sir told me to bring a proof with me that I gave the latter to Dreck sir . Since he believe no one now days. Not even me" he said. disappointment was clear on his face.
        "Wait" Dreck said and took a name card from his table drawer and wrote something the other side of it , then handed it to him "here".
Jay as usual put it in his glass-case and greeted us and left.
The old police friend laughed "just think" he said sarcastically.
"See it's simple he kept forgetting things so he kept saying the word 'think' just to remind things"....I said.
The  police friend laughed hard that time .
"But by saying 'think' several times you can't remember all things, young friend " Dreck said to me . "Look he forget the packet of sweets which Roy sir sended to me .it still in his bag" Dreck said while having his cigar.
"Sweet packet?  how did you know? " I said.
My friend Roy sir is from Krishna-Nagar  and he must have sended me sweets because it's Krishna-Nagar 's speciality.
Hearing those words our old police man stand up straightly and said in curious voice " Then I should catch him by the road . I love Krishna-Nagar 's sweet. It's brings water in my mouth. " he started to take step towards the door in that moment the door bell rang again.
Dreck called ----"Ram !!"
It was Jay Adhikari again. He handed the sweet- packet to us and apologised for his mistake.
The police man said "there's anything else delicious thing you forgetting? "
"No!"  he continuously smiled and then said" I've to off now, otherwise I'll miss the train " then he rapidly ran towards the door and left.
Ram then served the sweets for us and Dreck saved some sweet for Ram.
Suddenly I saw Dreck revealed a letter from under the sweet packet.
It's interrupted our police man from his eating job .He started with big eyes towards the latter.
"Oh!! interesting " I said.
"Yes It is my friend.  So this is the real letter from Roy sir . Which Jay gave me there was unwanted stuff like 'I found a rare plant and blah blah blah' and 'I sended a packet of sweet from here' and guess what my young friend it was underlined very carefully." Dreck said with a smirk on his wrinkled face.
I've seen Dreck for 2 years and every time he shocked me with his intelligence and great detective skills.

" I intentionally did not remind him about the sweet packet " Dreck said.
"why ?? " The police man said with a great curiosity.
well I was curious too.
"Because I wanted to check that Jay really forgets things or he was
acting " then Dreck started to take sips from his coffee.
I was curious about the latter but Dreck was on no hurry.

" Krishna-Nagar , when British were here , there they used to plant Nila .
But now there's a big forest. Besides the river there was wandering tigers that time . 4 years ago I travelled there without any fear. There's a grave land situated beside the river. Some citizens said that they keep seeing witches there. " Dreck said.
" Witches ? oh God !! " The old policeman yelled.
"Yes !!they said the witches loves to eat dead peoples " I said.
"So it must be some information about the witches in that latter." ......the police friend said. From his actions I've a strong feeling that he wanted to be a detective like Dreck.

While unfolding the latter Dreck said "May be" .
After reading the latter silently Dreck handed it to our police friend. I peeked through the latter and saw :

Help Dreck!! A horrible thing happened to me. I lose my ancestor's carefully saved blue gem. It's worth 10 lakhs in today's market. Kindly come here shortly and rescue the blue stone .
'I've saw the stone. It's an egg size gem. It's blue light can literally blind you." Dreck said in a calm voice.

"So what's now ? " Our police friend moved from his chair anxiously and strated to walk through the room. "we must go to Krishna-Nagar " he said.
"when? " Dreck asked , cigar in his hand.
"You say !! Should I go first or should I follow you ?" Policeman asked.
"You go first,  but not today tomorrow at dawn by the bus . Catch it at Esplanade " Dreck said.
