Beginning

Early in the morning, the phone ranged.
'Is it Mr Dhruv.'.
'Ya it is Dhruv here. May i know who is this.'
'We are speaking from the Ministry of internal Affairs. We need some help from you. Can you reach Delhi as early as possible. We have hired a plane for you. Be there at the airport by 9 and see that the talk remains between us. '
'But what is it regarding?'
'It would be informed to you once you reach here.' and the phone got cut.
Dhruv is one of the most leading professors who is working on arts, science and artifacts and also deals with the human history. He is a full time lecturer at Indian Institute of Science and is also a part time researcher. He is currently working on Ancient Indian Culture and Civilization and has written a number of books.
Professor Dhruv have never got a call like this and that too in such an emergency. While he was getting ready, he had just one thing in his mind, why did the ministry call him up under such a short notice. He was completely puzzled, the way the caller behaved.
He got ready soon, and went to the Bangalore International Airport. He was there on time. As soon as he reached, two men in black blazers came to him and took him aside. They went to a vacant area. This area was the 12th runway which was never used by planes. A plane was waiting for him there. He along with the other two, got inside the plane. Professor Dhruv was still confused what was going on. HE tried talking to the people around him.
'HI i am professor Dhruv. Do you have any idea why am i being summoned on such a short notice.'
'Sir, we know about you and has been following you from the last twenty four hours. You need not know about us, and why are you being called? Well, you will get to know once you reach there. Neither we have more information regarding this nor are we allowed to disclose more than what i said'.
Professor understood the answer. The rest of the two and a half hour journey went on silently. Dhruv was really nervous as he has faced many difficult situations in his career but was never so confused as he was now. He was just waiting for his destination to come, so that he could get all the answers to his questions. Every ticking second raised his vigor to know what is lying ahead.
