Part 76
Next day they move to the
Zam
Zam hotel at about 8
o’clock. Rashmi’s brother was waiting for them. They wait in his
cabin and there they came to know that Mustaffa has left for some
outside country place on tour to see the country and shall not return
for two more days. This news make both the girls very happy as that
was giving them some comfortable period to do fixing of the
equipments. They could enter his room without any hassles.
Veena and Ibna
accompanied by brother go to the room where Mustaffa is lodged. Boy
attendant receives them and awaits for the orders from his boss,
Rashmi’s brother. Brother tells him that these two are trainees and
have come to the hotel for training and so he is expected to help
them in the work and if need be teach them a few things. After that
brother hurriedly leaves them to their task. Attendant boy welcomes
the two girls with a suspicion on his face; Veena’s keen sight does
not miss that and casually ask him why he looks in that way to them.
The boy introduces him as Sharad Kale; and then explains to Veena why
he was suspicious. With a smile on his face he explains that usually
girls who come to work as attendant maids do not look like them. They
are from a lower strata of society but from the appearance of these
two he could make out that they are different. Understanding the
explanation both girls look to each other with relief and Veena asks
him about his background. He tells that he is not from the so called
lower strata of society but for economic reasons had to accept this
job. This explanation gives the girls a ready reply to his suspicion
and repeat that, same with them! He returns that with a friendly
smile and they while chatting enter the room of Mustaffa. Sharad
begins to show them things around the room but he notices that the
girls are not appearing to be serious about the work and he also
notices that they are not exactly interested in cleaning the room but
something else.
“What is the matter”?
He repeatedly inquires to them but they do not reply to him. They
continue seeing places where they will be able to hide the camera and
other equipments. Finally, he reassures that his hunch is not wrong
and the two girls are not any maids but are here on some other
mission. Boldly Sharad asks them and at that, Ibna losing her
patience blurts out that they are not maids but are on some thing
else!
“Spying on him”!
Nervously Ibna admits to him that he has guessed correct.
“Do you thing he is a
terrorist”? Sharad frowning, pushes his question on her. At that
juncture Ibna and Veena realize that they cannot keep the truth from
this man and also realize that it would be good to tell him the real
reason and plead for his co-operation.
Without uttering a word
Veena nods. “Do you thing this man is a terrorist”? Veena repeats
his question.
“I do not think so,
however, since he is an Arab anything is possible”! He exclaims
rather aloud. Then, Sharad assures to them that in case they are
doing some sort of surveillance, there are other places in this room
to do it. He will never suspect anything and you need not bother to
enter the room, if interested I shall show you that place. He then
continues to explain that there are some rooms in this hotel where
that facility is available and ever since terrorists from these
countries have begun to trouble peaceful world, our management
decided that if any Arab or Pakistanis or African visitor comes they
are given one of those special rooms. That makes surveillance very
easy and the visitor can not suspect of anything.
We shall be highly
obliged to you if you show us that. Veena requests.
After that much talk both
the girls come to know that they can share with Sharad their concern
and together they, like innocent babies begin to blurt out the
purpose of their surveillance. At that, Sharad looks to Ibna with
great sympathy and holding his hand for an assurance to her and says,
“Mam, I shall do anything to help you from these cruel Arabs”.
After that three come out
of the room and Sharad takes them to a small slit door that was in
the middle of two adjacent rooms. He shows them that door and tell
them that there is a narrow corridor between the two rooms and it is
usually used to store brooms and such other cleansing equipments. He
then opens the door and enters in that narrow corridor. Both girls
follow him. They push themselves with some difficulty and reach a
place, may be it was in the middle of the breadth of the rooms. There
was not enough light but the glass panel that was at the end of that
narrow corridor offered some light in that place. At that point Veena
and Ibna could see a square hole in the wall on both sides of the
narrow corridor. Sharad tells them that this square window is
positioned exactly behind the big mirror in the room where you
dress. Now the girls try to look into the square window and to their
surprise they find that they could see everything in that room
through that mirror.
“How is that”? Both
girls exclaim together.
“The mirror is a see
through type that means person standing in the front of the mirror
cannot see through it but person behind it can see through. Nobody in
the room can know that somebody is keeping a watch on them”. Sharad
explains to them.
“This
arrangement may be misused to infringe
upon the privacy of an individual”! Veena whispers complainingly.
Mam,
you are true but what is espionage after all? If not infringement
on somebody’s privacy.
After that he shows a
small hole big enough to insert any microphone and tell them that
they can insert a small microphone here and that will record the
conversation in that room. That hole was exactly behind the LED TV
screen.
“That is great”!
Exclaims Ibna with joy on her face.
“We can do spying
without entering the room, that is really very good.
With
joy on their faces the girls offer their nimble
palms for a warm shake hand. Sharad holding that, reassures that if
they could bring the required camera and microphone he will be only
very pleased to install them and help them in monitoring all
activities in that room. They need not bother to come here.
That offer was more than
anything to the girls.
