GARTH STORY-"TIME CAURIER"

CONTINUATION OF ENGLISH TRANSLATION OF HINDI GARTH STORY CALLED काल डाकिया






Page-09
Garth returns from the laboratory-
“Forgive me; the sac cannot be destroyed so I have to believe that surely you people have come from future”
Eid- and we have powers beyond your imagination, power that could destroy you!
If you don’t obey my commands I will turn you to dust with this destroyer!—eid threatens Garth waving a tiny pen like devise.
Guy- eid please stop that, calm down and have a drink!
Garth- yes I am also tired of your antics!
Eid—keep back!
Be careful I will atomize you!
Garth suddenly garbs the devise from eid’s hand…
Guy-[grinning]--- you see eid his reactions are three times faster than us!
Eid [holding her bruised hand with left hand]—so what you  chattering monkey , do something to help me!
Garth- this destroyer looks like “lipstick” to me!
I am happy women have not changed much in the future!
Guy [pouring himself another drink]-friend! It is a women’s world now!... I mean from the time  from which we have come…
Garth [taking away the liquor bottle from guy’s hands]—and I think you have had enough to drink!
Guy and eid start fighting
A drunken guy accuses eid-“you tried to fool him, and yes you tried to threaten him, but both did not work!”
Eid[infuriated] – you have criticized me!
Guy- and yes the “romance” also did not succeed!
Garth intervenes- “best thing to do right now is to go to sleep and tell me of your difficulties in the morning!” a tearful eid stares at Garth saying nothing.
Page-10
Garth and guy are sitting at a breakfast table on the terrace of garth’s country house when eid make an appearance –
Garth-eid come eat something!
Guy –she should wait till we are finished! Are’t men superior here?
Garth pulls up guy- “you have to learn many things here come!”
Garth- before we sit we should make sure that eid is seated comfortably
Guy- this is strange last night you soaked her![y-244]
Garth spreads the maps on the table-“ guy has told me everything your people are going to survey this area periodically to pick you up .once they detect you they will make arrangements to whisk you back to the future  right?
Eid- yes it works like that!
Garth- so according to the map I will have to guide you that big island called the New Guinea.
Eid[impressed]-for a man you are quite competent![y-245]
Garth-I will have to arrange for your clothing’s and passports.
Eid –will you be able to make all the arrangements for this journey all by yourself singlehandedly? It would be better if you arrange for us to have a meeting with your leaders.
Garth-NO! If it is officially becomes known that you are from the future your whole remaining life will be spent on television shows! It is the torture method of 20th century!
Eid-uff![y246]
Garth goes to the village to buy clothes for them-
Garth-[helping guy with his suit and tie] will have to go to the city to make all the arrangements for the journey.
Eid – Garth how do you close this?[struggling with her blouse]
Garth- button it up like this [demonstrating how to button up the apparel]
Eid- this is a very good method!
Eid [now struggling with brazier –“this is even more difficult! please help me wear this!
Garth- uff! You will have to wear it by yourself only I will teach you how?[y-247]

Page-11
London- Garth prepares the two time couriers for the journey-[talking to a salesman at a supermarket]-“everything is to be delivered within 3 days “
“Yes sir”
Guy tells Garth excitedly- “a girl called me “sir!”
Garth – oh guy these are wonderful good times!”Soon I will meet my friend to arrange for the passports”
Eid- so many powers for men? [y248]
Journey to new guinea starts
On a  huge plane-“garth is this machine safe?,even our museums do not have such machines”
Garth- it is safer than crossing the street!
Guy-“Eid”- you really look feminine in women’s clothes of these times!
Edi-shall I kick you to prove myself a woman?
Garth- he meant women of our times![y249]
Three weeks after reaching new guinea
Eid- my shoulders hurt,I am tired.
Guy- garth and me will bear all the load,you take rest!
Edi-yes you take care of the load, hard work is not for women.
 Guy- remember women are not the rulers here!
Garth- we do all the hard work for them for this reason only!
Guy- but that  is what we do in our times too ,but we do it under compulsion, I guess men are losers any which way you look at it![y-250]
Guy- garth !how far are we now from retrieval zone?
Garth- just half a day journey from here, but I am not sure of the conditions on the way ahead, the map is not very clear.
Eid-we may have to stay in the pickup zone for several weeks ,may be they have already looked for us in the area .
Guy- is this the place ,it is so beautiful here we could make a temporary house  to live here for a few days.
Garth[In  thought]-there is a road on the slope up there , we are not alone , may besome others also live here![y251]
Page-12
Eid- looking in a small hand held mirror-“oh I look so ugly”
Guy- right you are!
Eid- why do you have to always agree with whatever I say, why can’t you say nice things like Garth does?
Guy- oh! There was a time that you would have eaten me alive if I dared praise you!
Garth is exploring in nearby caves-“this valley was inhabited till recently, maybe be some stone age race is still alive in new guinea![y-252]
Eid- you mean to say people even more ancient than you live here?
Guy- she is not being rude , that is how she always speaks!
Garth-Does not matter my friend! we will not face any danger from tribal’s if we behave in a friendly manner, make friends with the local tribes but we will have to communicate in sign language only!
Eid- we have international language pill take one and you will be able to communicate with any one!
Garth- marvelous! And we have been able to make instant coffee only[y-252]
Garth- “if we are required to stay here for a long time why don’t we occupy ourselves with some work?
Eid- I am afraid our food pills may have been exhausted.
Guy-I prefer fresh meat and vegetables which Garth brings us.
Garth – iwill provide you the food, and water is in the river but we have to be on our guard and keep watch 24 hours aday, tribal people may come back![y-254]
One hour before the sunset [in the cave where Garth eid, and guy have taken shelter]---
You will be on first watch eid this will make things easier for us.
Eid[startled]-i?..But I thought it was a male dominated era of time!
Garth –we are only three therefore you also will have to contribute, just keep awake ,and if you see anything wake me up!
Guy- o! I like this srange past era , here you can argue with any girl and watch the fun![y-255]
Page-13
Eid wakes up garth- g..garth!wake up!
Garth- what is it?
Eid- I am sorry this is all a mistake made by people of our times ,sees while exploring this region they have kept the time watcher for a prolonged time!
Garth- so what?
Eid-[silence]----so there is a QUARK outside![y-256]
Guy- you have seen a quark?
Oh! Then there will be many more of them!
Garth[dressing up]- what the hell is a quark?
Eid – it is actually  a microbe ,but if the time surveyor remains in an area for prolonged period it induces its rapid growth!...but they go on increasing in size and attain a huge size … and one of them is outside![y257]
Garth watching a huge monster from the entrance of the cave  - a microbe which was blown up a millionth times.no wonder the tribal ran away from this region.
Eid! Is this dangerous?
Eid[terrified]- don’t ask me  I am a visitor it is your bacterium!
A huge tonge like structure shoot out and catches hold of a bird in mid flight![y-258]
Can it see us?
Probably they are not only enlarged due to the effect of a time surveyor, but also undergo metamorphosis ....like a tadpole becomes a frog!
Eid- it is coming this way!
Garth- the cave is not safe, you escape with guy and I will protect you with this rifle!
