"What are you doing there?" Shireen screamed as she saw Rehan standing at the edge of the cliff."I was just trying to locate" Rehan shouted back. "Will you come back right now?" the panic was evident in Shireen's voice. "Coming" replied Rehan as he cast a last longing glance. "What were you searching for?" Shireen asked frantically. Rehan sighed, "I was trying to locate Luna's house." "Why would you want to do that? Don't you see, time is running away!" Shireen's voice was trembling.
Rehan sat down quietly on a boulder. "Rehan, what's wrong? We need to make a move. The bus will leave soon. We don't want to stay back here. Do we?" said Shireen as she tried to pull up Rehan by his arms. As they started making their way back to the bus stop Shireen nudged Rehan, "Will you tell me?"
"Do you remember Lester?" Rehan asked. "Yes. Luna's golden retriever. Why?" Shireen looked at Rehan with curiosity. "Luna called me a few days back. She told me that during their family dinner her father had proposed they leave for their ancestral home in Zurich. With the political and social situation deteriorating at an alarming level, he didn't want to risk his family and their well-being. The only problem was Lester. They couldn't take him with them" Rehan ran out of breath. "Why?" asked Shireen. "Apparently, the air carrier didn't have any special provision for carrying animals because the human population was overcrowded as many wanted to leave. She had told me to take Lester along. But in this chaos I couldn't manage to go there and" Rehan's voice muffled.
As they slowly reached the plain terrain, Lester came running at them with a flower in his mouth with a note dangling, "Love Luna."
