Chapter 38: cooking smell attracted the people part-2
They found the salt packets on the side which was looted by them as they left the house.
These people did not have a house to live and their supplies are looted by others in the name of sharing and moral.
So the people became like this.
They don’t know that the salt packets were replaced with colored sand instead of salt.
So they took it.
Mohini did yell at the people with weak voice as if venting her anger at them.
But no one cared.
Nisha was sneaking around looking at the situation.
Only Nisha felt that Mohini was acting.
When these people went in and came out of Mohini’s house many people thought that the supplies in Mohini’s room were stolen.
So they would not search her house again anytime soon.
Mohini cleaned up the house and started to get busy with her work again.
Also some mosquitoes came into the house so she used the mosquito and other insect repellants to send them out and lock the doors.
There are electric bats that she used to kill the mosquitoes at the fastest speed.
Well other people also got the electric bats to kill the mosquitoes that are charged with solar energy.
The people that just left thought that the smell of cooking came from some other apartment building.
This is their thought and Mohini became a free spirit cooking and exercising.
Nisha naturally heard of what happened but she did not believe that Mohini is in such a week state.
She did not come out to check again as there are many mosquitoes outside and she doesn’t want to get sick at this time.
The medicine is not available and the medicine in her house is already hidden by her.
The people that came into Mohini’s house in the name of checking have already checked everything.
The hidden room was unchecked because they cannot find it.
Only after moving the things in the bedroom in a specific order, the door to the hidden bed room opens.
If it was not done properly then the bedroom would not be open.
The people that are hungry and had the mind to loot would not thing of so many things when they came in for looting.
They did not find any medicine or supplies.
They did find some rice porridge at the bottom of a broken pot in the kitchen.
But it was not enough to eat.
It should be cooked using the rice that Mohini got that day.
This is what they though before leaving.
Mohini specifically made this in advance and put it on for display to those hungry survivors.
Mohini did not kill them as there will be few more patrols for the next few months.
So she doesn’t want to be identified by the military and cops as dangerous element.
Well she can always kill one or two in secret and dispose of them.
But she would not kill so many people at the same time leaving witnesses.
……….
The days were peaceful after the people searched her home as there are no more disturbances.
There are rumors that Mohini was ill and she would not have long to live without the medicine.
Also there are rumors that Mohini did not have much to eat as everything was taken.
Well in 5 days on December 20th the water level reached the 15th floor.
The people below moved up and the already crowded place became even more crowded.
At the same time there is no one on the 20th floor.
Even the corridor of the 19th floor is fine but coming to 20th floor is like standing in between two frying pans along with a hot sealed cooker.
So they dare not come to the 20th floor and occupy the floors below that.
Nisha and Roy are on the 16th floor.
Because of the fear that the 16th floor would be submerged the people did not bother with the 16th floor.
So all the people from 1-15th floor were either entered the flats of 17, 18 and 19th floors or stayed in the corridors.
16th floor also had water but that only came till their feet are submerged.
Mohini stopped cooking because there are too many people too close.
She has to wait for another 40 days before the water receded to the 10th floor.
After 6 months the water would go down all the way to the 2nd floor.
The evaporated water would not form clouds but increase the humidity.
But the humidity is not as high as to form fog.
………..
10 days passed by and today is New Year.
The temperature has reached 60 degrees which is very high.
Mohini was managing somehow using the 4 air coolers set up around her in the small hidden bed room.
She is also eating some frozen water melon pieces that was previous cut into pieces, frozen and stored in the space for freshness.
The temperature in the night is more than 40 degrees in the floors below 18th floor.
The 20th floor has the temperature of 45 degrees and 19th floor has the temperature of 42 degrees.
Most people thought that Mohini is already dead if not for small sounds.
There are not many movements or sounds from the floor above.
Mohini became nocturnal and does her things in the night and sleep during the day.
No one came out to check anything in the top floors.
Well some came at the beginning to go to the roof to check if there is any water in the tank above.
But after that they did not came.
On the other hand after a month they adapted to the temperature of 40 degrees and they can move.
Well 40 degrees temperature is not strange in this country during summer.
So they quickly adapted and move during the nights.
The government people have already told them that the electricity grid was cut off.
So they can move in rubber……….
