the model 10

The servants frantically trying to call somebody
The emergency services of the hospital hooked up calls
One woman had the sense to summon the security officer
He quickly sent his request immediately

An ambulance came within minutes
The white rajah was propped on his chair
He looked pale and in pain...
Every one just watched couldn't help him

The ambulance hospital assistants came
With a white stretcher and bandages
They quickly took over the situation
There wasn't much they could do

The security officer was furious
“Where is the doctor?
He sent you two to come here?”
“Our dispatch router informed us”

“I am not happy with this
Our CM in pain and no doctor to rescue”
“Sir let us do our job
We have to take him to hospital”

The security officer called his family
He managed to contact his children
Now they rushed to the hospital
As the ambulance siren wailed on the streets

The black witch was smiling
As she dance on her dancing toes
“Now he will get his dues
And his party will collapse too”

She kicked some empty cans
The cats ran away meowing into the hole
Puffing heavily staring at the black witch
“What are you looking at?”

“White rajah your time is ticking
You will be in ICU for other complications
The doctors just don't know what causing it
Now you will feel the pain and loneliness”

She heard the siren fading away
She ran into the dark green bushes
An eagle flew away to the sky
Flapping wings feeling the warm wind



Jargon switched on his radio
On the verandah he breathed in the cool fresh air
“Nothing beats the village life
No pollution the fresh air”

Then he heard the DJ announced an emergency news
“We stop this programme to announce an important accident
The white rajah is admitted under ICU for observation
It was reported he fell and broke his hands and legs”

Jargon ran to tell his sister
Then he saw Broken Tooth came
“The white rajah admitted to ICU
Now we can hammer in the nail!”

“Hey what are you talking?”
“Now listen to the broadcast
You will know what I am saying”
“The white rajah suffered a mild heart attack”

“Now you know what I am saying
The DJ announced it to the people
This is good news for all of us”
“You are interested in politics suddenly Jargon”

The model came out to join them
“Don't feel so excited as yet
The election campaign on its way
The election hasn't started yet”

“At least now he is in ICU
The party machinery will be in shock”
“You are right Broken Tooth
We should capitalize on it”

“Anybody knows about that eagle?”
Every one looked up to the sky
“What's so special of this eagle?”
“It's colours and its wings”

Model then looked up to
She had seen this type of eagle before
She tried to recollect her memories
The eagle flew in the morning sky

Jargon tried to watch
His mind was working somewhere else
When he was small he had seen his father drew this eagle
“Son this is your aunt from your mother's family”


“Dad she is an eagle!”
“It's true son but she is a black witch
You don't see her now
She was banished by her mother”

“Why Dad?
She did something wrong?”
“She practiced the black art
Your grandmother didn't like it”

“So it was said
She will fly like an eagle
Hovering around here in the sky
Maybe one day she will return”

Jargon stared at the eagle
He recognized its colours and wings
“Any clue sister of the eagle?”
“I thought I saw a painting in our time”

“What painting model?
I didn't know you paint?”
“No Broken Tooth family history la”
“I know that eagle sister”

“Really Jargon?
You must have seen it somewhere?”
“It's the black witch banished by her family
She's our aunt father told me long ago”

Now the eagle stopped at the roof
Eying them with its sharp eyes
“She's looking at you model
Maybe you look like her?”

“Don't talk nonsense
We have serious business to do
Today we are going to another village
Same speeches for change”

“The radio DJ may play his part
Trying to win sympathy votes
We mustn't let our guards now
They are in shock so are we!”

The eagle flew right to them
Within seconds the eagle transformed
A middle aged woman came alive
“Hello children! I am your aunt!”
