Arjun went to the section which was also near the power supply room. He checked all the computers but he couldn't locate the one he was searching for. He felt dissappointed. But then he felt he wanted to check the computer, he wanted to know exactly what was wrong with them. He connected the computer to the power supply switch but it didn't got started. He checked another computer but the result was same. He then remembered that all the computers of the office must be having a single power supply switch alike their computer labs.
Arjun went into the power supply room. This room was darker in comparison to other places. Wherever he puts his torch light he can find wire bundles and many different kinds of wires all around. He was trying to locate one switch that can open up the power supply. But his torch went off. It made the room completely dark. This really scared him for a second. He couldn't see anything.
But he gathered himself up. He still had his bag. He took out his phone, fortunately he had brought his phone.
He was not very accustomed of using his phone for every next thing. As he had only used it for his projects and games. He pulled out his phone to turn on his flashlight..
Meanwhile Ritvik was searching on the other side of the office. He checked it all but he was unable to find anything either. His torch went off too. He didn't have his phone . It didn't bother him as there was still some light around him. But he got the reason to get back to his friend .
The battery of both the torches had worn out. Arjun didn't have enough time to check on it, this was the reason because of which both of their torches went off . Ritvik immediately went to Arjun's side. He searched for him in the cubicle but he wasn't there.
As Arjun opened up his flashlight,he suddenly felt very uneasy and scared. He felt as if he was lost somewhere. He didn't know why he felt that way and why he was unable to put himself together .
This was not enough, the phone he had in his hands was glowing and he saw Proxima Centauri opened up. It suddenly started showing up portals one after the other. The phone got dropped from his hands.
Ritvik was around and he heard the sound of dropping something. He followed the sound and found Arjun. It was very dark for him to notice Arjun's face. He thought Arjun might have seen something that surprised him so he picked up the phone first to see what he saw.
Arjun's eyes were looking for Rhythm everywhere. He never faced any problem in locating him. But he was unable to find him.
It seems that what he was feeling was coming from him.
Rhythm was stuck inside the wire. He was being carried away in the direction he didn't know himself. He was unable to find either Arjun or Ritvik . He was feeling a strong force of electric field that was carrying him.
As Ritvik took the phone, he saw many opened windows. Although he didn't understand the language in which descriptions were written , he was certainly familiar with the icons.
Tap… Tap..
As he taped, he tried to close some windows and opened other windows. He didn't know himself what he was doing but it feels that it worked.
Rhythm saw a light before him. This light was faint and felt empty.
" long time no see Rhythm."
He can talk with atoms so hearing the light to speak didn't surprise him very much but the words he heard did surprise him a lot.
Did this light know him?
Meanwhile not being able to find him was making him feel more uneasy but then he remembered his uncle's calm face.If he can be affected with what Rhythm was feeling maybe he can still help him. He calmed himself and instead of locating him he tried to communicate with him with his thoughts. Maybe he can help him find his way back to them.
Rhythm was scared and surprised but he felt calm for some reason. He had many questions to ask but he wanted to get out of there first. For some reason he found the strength to find his way back.
The light that he saw was tracing the direction of the path to follow. Instead of going against the direction of force. The light was tracing his path in the direction of force. He followed the light through twists and turns.
Finally he came out of somewhere, he was relieved to see Arjun and Ritvik. But just as he came out, the empty light just vanished. He felt his strength drained by now.
Up Till this point Ritvik had already closed all the windows. He lifted his head.
Arjun already saw Rhythm, he ran towards him and caught him on his palm.
He was dimly violet.
Ritvik felt confused to see them both, he didn't know what happened just now.
'Was Rhythm stuck somewhere?
Is he alright? '
They both saw a spark in the wire from where Rhythm came out.
Arjun was still holding Rhythm.
Rhythm was resting on his palm. They both exchanged meaningful glances with each other.
Ritvik pulled out Arjun's remote controlled helicopter. It was important to take the wire away from other wire bunches. Ritvik holded the remote control and directed it towards the wire.
In the next moment. The whole power went off. They don't know about it. Their helicopter was only halfway to the wire. They heard a few footsteps.
Ritvik sped up his helicopter, he lifted the wire upwards through its fan and took it away from the wire bunches, at least it was not part of the bunch now and was away from all the other wires. He left the helicopter there itself.
They both came out of the dark room and hid behind one of the cubicles. They pulled out their pepper spray in case they needed it.
Arjun leaned back. When Arjun leaned back, He felt heaviness in his eyes and tired all over his body. Until that point his mind was so much engaged into everything that he didn't realize he was already very tired and now it all was showing up when he gave himself some time. In just a few minutes he slept right there.
Ritvik was sneaking outside trying to trace the sign of any presence and source of the sound he heard. When suddenly he felt something heavy and familiar landed up on his shoulder. He turned around to find Arjun had already slept and he was resting his head on his shoulder. Ritvik adjusted himself that made Arjun even more comfortable.
' Only you have the capability to sleep soundly at such a dark and hot place.'
Ritvik was concerned about the case if someone really came then it was very much possible that they would have been locked inside. But right now he was looking at Arjun.
'You tried your best Arjun.'
It seems that they were unable to find anything but they all were alright. It seems that they don't have any option but to spend their night there itself. Ritvik felt a little disappointed in himself but he admired his friend's courage and he didn't want to wake him up.
'By the way doesn't we switch off the lights of our room too before we sleep.'
He looked around. There was nothing he could think of now. He too leaned back and allowed himself to rest. He too didn't take much time and slept right there.
It feels like a really long and tiring day has ended now.
It was like Rhythm regained his consciousness. Everything came before his eyes. ' long time no see' the words echoed inside his mind. He was really scared inside but the only thing he felt right now was that it didn't feel to be his first experience. He
felt that he had been at the place before.
But how can it be possible?
As long as he can remember he had only been part of a forest area bound by the strange chip. He shook his head trying to get rid of the thoughts. He then tried to look for Arjun.
By the time Rhythm came over to Arjun. He found both of them asleep. They both were sleeping peacefully. Rhythm came to them and flew around them. They both were sweating. Afterall it was a summer day.
Just in time a wind blew from the opening. Rhythm felt a relief as that wind came to them. The connection that they both shared made them realize and understand each other without words. They needed some cool air.
This is a very simple thing for Rhythm.Right now he didn't want to wake them up. He just wanted to watch them both.
He swirled around them at a very fast speed and he kept going around them at a fast speed. It feels that a ring was being created all around them. He was generating a low pressure region that amazingly brought all the air that entered into the room towards them. When he felt that they both felt comfortable now. He went back to the opening, waiting for the morning to show up. He had spent countless nights watching stars, he always felt to find something out of there but he didn't know what he always felt to find.
