And then next morning, Krishna wakes up in the guest room. And looked all around the room, and saw the mask of krrish and his overcoat. He put them aside, and then went down, asking for supriya, when he didn't get any replies. He looked around, and then started the tv. And he looked at time, he saw it was something around 9 am or so. And he starts seeing the news channel. And then supriya came in wearing her news channel outfit.
" Let's go to my office, and we'll talk about your plan to go home." Where did you say you came from, or do you want any charges pressed on your father for illegal experimentation on you?"
" No!" Was his simple reply.
"Why! You have so much talent and powers, you can help the world so much?"
"Because I don't want to." Said Krishna.
"I don't want any recognition or anything, I want to live a normal life, with my daadee, and someone I thought loved me."
" Great! At least you don't want to be a superhero. You have power, and you can use it for the betterment of the world. But it's your power, and you have a choice, many people don't have that."
And down there priya in her small apartment and she was looking at the mirror for quite a bit now.
.
.
.
" You know, looking in the mirror for more than thirty minutes is considered narcissism." Said a playful sakshi.
"And she throws a pillow on her face."
"What are you doing in my house?"
" It's an apartment not even that big." She replied.
"And for the record, dad is expecting the meeting this evening. With or without him you decide.
And she looked at her, like she was the bane of her existence.
"Come on, call your sister. She has the future of yours." And she stood up, and went to the bathroom. Ignoring her.
"Not my fault. And she looked at her phone, and then at his brother's GPS signal."
"Well ok! If you get in a little bit of a mood, call her, or me. I'm leaving." Said sakhi and headed in the direction of the signal.
And up there with Supriya, she and the new man, Krishna, walked into the Sunday morning News's main office. And everybody gave her a polite good morning and looked at her. Probably for what happened last night, or for the man behind her. She immediately entered a meeting room, and Krishna was outside waiting. And when she entered the meeting area, like she expected everyone looked at her. And behind the wall a huge tv screen was showing the last night incident and the fellow superhero krrish.
"Do you know him?" the boss looking person asked. And she said without looking at him, while sitting on her chair.
"Yeh! He is sitting outside.." She said, sarcasm clear on her face. And he understands that.
"So as we all know now, the topic of this meeting, this Krrish fellow, who came down from the sky, saving people, jumping like a monkey. Do we have any idea how he can do that or who he is? And supriya please tell, why did he save you in the end? And why the hell did he put you on an ambulance bed? Please don't tell me you are gonna play Loice and Superman. That show ended because the actors ' pay was higher than the budget." And she looked at him.
"If I say I don't know, would you believe it?" And he looked at her for a moment trying to understand her, and she knew he understood her.
" Ok! Let's focus on the topic. This Krish fellow, what should our approach be? There are talks going on about our acquisition in higher ups, and they want our stock price as high as possible. Say something beneficial and I think about not complaining about you to our new boss. " And the office became quiet and nobody answered for a while, because he didn't ask them, his attention was on Supriya the whole time, and if they didn't understand this clear hint, they should not be in this industry. And she replied.
" Wait and she, I don't think he'll ever show again. The way he showed up and then vanished, his powers. And if I was him I'd stay away from all this shit. A man is not guilty for crime, but for holding treasure. We should see first what the higher ups say. We can talk about this if ever shown again. For now just do what we should do." And the boss seeing this said,
" You think he'll never show up again? "
" Like I said, it would be wise if he never showed up again. The world isn't ready for a super power guy in tights running around the building saving kittens from trees. The world is chaotic enough without him. "
And outside Krishna heard all this, his mood a little complicated.
And down there outside of the building of Sunday morning's building, Sakshi reached the building where his brother was supposed to be. So when she found out that his brother was in the building on Sunday morning she wasn't surprised, she got in pretty smoothly and didn't face any difficulty on his way, her old camera and her student ID card helping her that much.
She reached the main floor and the clerk , where Supriya's office is. And he pointed in a direction. She thanked him and headed in his way, when she got a call from her father.
She picked it up and asked.
"What's up dad?"
"What happened to Priya, she didn't come to college today. I'm at the building, as she isn't here either."
"Did you call her?" She asked.
"No!"
"She probably forgot to charge her phone again." Said Sakshi.
"Is the job done?" He asked.
" I don't think so, things involving her sister didn't go as planned.."
"Where are you?" He asked.
"Sunday morning, her sister brought him here. Probably for some info or something."
"She didn't tell anyone, did she?" He asked.
"I don't think so. There is no military or tank here, at least not yet." She replied looking around.
"Maybe we should do something, she is a bit off, maybe a book on atom manipulation and theorem will help." It was her suggestion.
"You said he is on Sunday morning right? Wait there, I'll call someone. Make sure he doesn't leave the ground." And he cuts the phone. And she looked around, looking at all those people working. She sighs, and sits down in a waiting area. And inside the office of supriya, she was finaling the flight ticket of Krishna, and when she was done doing it, she looked at him, and told him that she had booked a flight to Nepal, and he can leave tomorrow morning. Which be in reply thanks him. And she asked him a question.
" Are you sure you want to go back? You might find your answers here." And replied that he didn't want to know. She was about to ask him more questions, when her office phone rang, it was her boss, and he had called her over for some reason. She excused herself, and then left the office, telling Krishna that he can read some books of stuff for a moment.
And he picked one. Her biggest mistake.
When she reached his boss's office. And he was taking a call, and he had a damn serious face on. And when the call ended he looked at her, and didn't say anything.
" What happened boss?" She asked. And he looked at it. He took a deep breath.
"Do you know Rohit Mehera?"
"Yes, I mean not personally, he is a big scientist or short."
"Not just any scientist, this guy invented half the medicines that's keeping me alive. If not for him, you and me, both would be lying on a dead bed."
"I know, but what about it?" She asked.
"Well he has invented some news stuff, and we don't know what. And he also gave us the opportunity to be the first to interview him."
"I decline."
"You can't." He stated.
"You know I'm gonna decline."
" You hate him, I know, but no. I'm your boss, but I have a boss as well. And he wants you to go there." And now she looked at him seriously.
"What if I resign?"
"You won't." He replied
And she sighs. "Who else is there?"
"Don't know, probably some scientists, colleges and family."
"Then my father will be there as well." She said looking done for her life.
"Not my fault that your dad is a big shot as well."
And she sighs again.
"When." Was her question.
" As soon as you can pack, the show is this evening, and bring the whole crew there. And one of their men is sitting outside, to share some details first."
And when she got out, thinking what to expect, she got an unexpected call.
"Hey big sis." She said to herself, and she picked it up and said "Hello!"
And no reply came for a bit. And then with a little awkwardness. She replied.
"Hey! Sis it's me, priya, how are you?" She asked.
"Fine! How are you?" She asked back.
"Fine." She replied. And supriya asked sometime later.
"Why did you call, do you need something?"
"N-no. But my boss does."
"What did Mr Mehera want from me? Or someone else ."
"He just wants to talk to him. He can explain the thing."
"Thing? Explain the thing? What do you mean by that?" She said, seeing a hidden meaning.
"No! I'm not talking about him, I'm talking about his powers, he wants to talk about it. He knows something that can change the entire world as we know off supriya, he is the key for everything. Every disorder, every illness, he is the perfect human." And they both got silenced.
"Do you ask what he wants? Do you think to ask him, if he wants to be a part of some sick world changing stuff. Don't you."
" And what you even doing in gnis stuff? Doest this something a scientists should do?"
" I wanted to to know him better, he is a Mahamanav, first Mahamanva to walk on earth, you won't understand his importace."
" who me? Are you kidding? And why are you supporting him? He experimented on him." Said supriya.
"No he didn't." She yelled, and she calmed herself down, and said in a calm voice.
" Ok! Listen I don't wanna sound rude, but he knows everything about him, and why he is like that, and he is the only one who can answer our question, bring him in…Please." She added the last part in the end.
And she after thinking said,
"Ok! I'll bring him to today's meeting, and you're gonna explain who he is. Cause I'm not gonna hide anything. Ok?" And she agreed.
And after cutting her phone, she went to her office, and saw him reading a book. And it was the book she wrote.
"That's the book I'm writing." She said, and he looked at him.
" Nice book, lots of spelling mistakes and grammar errors."
" Really?" She asked.
" Yes ! But the book is nice, explaining the way the media works. It's inspired by ' time in media ' by Vasudev Sharma right?" He asked.
" Yes! Have you read that book?"
" Yes, you have three parts of it. I couldn't find the fourth."
And she looked at him with a puzzled look.
" Yes I have, but what's with that?"
" I read those, so you know. And you should also keep your notes safe. And she immediately went and hid her notes."
"You read them."
"Some pages then, I got what they are and put them aside."
" How much did you read?"
"_"
"About half way."
"_"
"Page 37?" She asked.
"_"
"Page 37." He confirmed, and she started to blush like a tomato, and told him to get out. And he Indeed gets out.
And out there, he saw several people giving him second glances. He ignored them, and sat outside again. And a feminine voice called him, and when he saw who she was. He gave a half smile.
"You!"
" Brother." She said and hugged him. And then dragged him out of the office saying how much she missed him. And when she was out , she immediately took him to her eye level and asked.
" What the heck are you doing here?"
"What are you doing here? This isn't your lab."
"Offensive. I work here." And she flashed her ID card and camera on his face.
"That's the janitor's card of your school."
"It serves its purpose."
" Why are you here?" He asked.
"Wou! I kinda hope that you'll ask how you're my sister or something, then I'm gonna tell you I'm adopted, and how great you father is . You know that kinda stuff." And Krrish looked at her with confusion .
"You are adopted." He stated.
"Well kinda yeah! He picked me from you know, a garbage bin, well not from the garbage bin, but beside the garbage bin. You got the picture right."
" A garbage bin?"
"Just kidding, you actually believe that, I was born seven years later. Dad changed a lot after your accident, he assumed that you all were dead. And then he found you back."
"What do you want from me?"
"I Have nothing, just some photos for insta, shirtless, so that I can show it to my friends. I always wanted a big brother you know, to save me kinda stuff. I'm not feminist, I know we need strong men, and you are a superhero now. It's all better." Said Sakshi in one go, talking nonsense.
" Why do you need my pictures, shirtless?"
"You don't have mirrors there?"
"We have." He replied.
"Forget about it, let's focus on the task in hand, dad wants to meet you. He has some really good answers for you. And the answers you need. And he didn't look convinced."
"Come on bro, you haven't even talked to him. He is a prick from outside, but he is a good man. Give him a chance Krishna, just talk to him, and you can leave after that, no one binding you hear."
"And what about Priya, why did she act like she loved me."
"She didn't, she is a scientist not a schemer. She did what she could do. You know she is kinda a big fan of him and his work so you know. But it wasn't all an act, she toured the city of her own free will, and she also toured the town of yours, didn't she? Dad just told her to get that sample, that all love fiasco is another thing. Give her a chance, brother." And she started the puppy dog eyes. And seeing that, his resolve falters.
" Fine! I'll do it. He replied. And she jumps on air.." And then took out her phone, and clicked a selfie, and then went saying him by whole then went in.
" Oh, and come in this evening, with supriya, she knows the details. And check the mail I sent you." And ran off.
He enters the office of supriya, and she throws a book at his face. And he catches it effortlessly.
"Get out." Her first word.
"I'm not gonna say the contents of that book to anyone." He promises.
"But you knew it don't you?"
"I'm sorry. I'm sorry that I read about your-"
And she throws another book. And he again caught it effortlessly.
" I'm sorry again. Please." He said and she looked angry but then sighs.
"Ok! Just sit. And listen. "
"Your dad called my boss's boss, and things kinda got messy."
"Did you lose your job? "
"No! Not anything like that. He wants to meet with you, and be kind, and use understanding tacktick."
"Like the book?" And she looked at him.
"Like the book. If an action is underhand or if it is done in an underhand way, it is done secretly and dishonestly, that's the thing."
"My sister was outside, and she said the same."
" The same?" She asked.
"Yes! If I hadn't read it, I would not have understood what she meant. And do you really don't have the four volumes of that book? I think that might be useful."
" Are you really ready to go there?" She asked And he didn't reply and looked puzzled, and she explained.
" You look exactly the same." And he nodded.
" It's not a problem. My subconscious is telling me that my father has something really big going on. The notes I read in your sister's desk explains that much. He is looking for super powered individuals like me, and I'm the second one he started his research on, and I might think that I can help him in that regard."
"Second? Who's the first one?"
"Probably himself. He is a Mahamanav himself."
" Somehow I don't doubt that. He is the world's greatest mind for nothing."
