Is this little light alive?
He looked over Rhythm. Just a while ago he was going all around the class and now he was sitting silently because he was afraid that he could be sent back to the forest. He truly amazes him. He felt as if he wanted to protect him and he didn't want him to be in danger but he also didn't want him to restrain. He likes to see Rhythm in his natural way. Even though he wants him to act freely in his natural self he still needs to be careful so as not to fall in danger. This somewhere assures him. Having an ability to restrain wasn't bad. If he could put in more time to teach Rhythm maybe he can teach him certain things. So from where he could start...
Arjun was thinking about all this when he felt something being tied over his wrist. He was neither amazed nor surprised because he thought he knew what it is but he soon realised that this is not exactly what he had been expecting.
" Sis, this one is not mine."
"Yep"
She said after taping her hand over his wrist while completed trying up.
"Hmm Sis, is this the new one?"
"Does it work?"
Mehar pinched his nose.
"What do you think of your Sis?Champ?"
A wide grin covered his face and his eyes lighted up. It was good news.
He started speculating it from the side by side.
"So, how does it work?"
"It assesses wind pressure, temperature and other parameters..in case they reach greater than critical limit it will send an alarm."
"Is it so? Wow…
"Sis you are the best…"
Mehar loves to hear this.No matter
it sends the signal to the mobile phone."
" Huh"
She pulled out a phone from her pocket.
"Here..let me first activate it."
Arjun was thinking that he asked for this watch to help Rhythm and the warning goes to her phone then would it be okay if she receives a
warning. But it would just be the warning right! , it won't reveal Rhythm.
The rhythm was silently sitting but hearing about the watch he came over to Arjun's shoulder and tried to understand what was going on.
As soon as Mehar opened up her phone. She saw the message.
' A signal detected!'
But before she could look over further the mobile got hanged.
Arjun was looking towards his new watch when he noticed Mehar being troubled. He stood and came towards her.
Rhythm would have followed Arjun but he heard
"My master had been the best."
Rhythm was in bewilderment.
This was the same voice he heard when they were at the office. He went all around trying to look for source but he couldn't find anything. At last,
He came over to Arjun's hand immediately.
"What happened?"
Rhythm didn't say
anything; he just sat over his hand.
Arjun caressed his hand over him.
"Nothing."
Mehar responded she was also in bewilderment. She indeed saw something.
"What she saw just now was that her illusion?"
While she tried to calm herself down and also tried to hide it.
Arjun saw her. He saw her hiding something.
He was doing the same as well; he hid Rhythm in his hands. But when they both met their gaze towards each other. He realized that this lie is caught and it is better to talk then respond.
Rhythm felt ignored and quizzical so he flew over the topmost part.
Seeing him Arjun felt a little relieved. At the moment he felt that there are many things which he was unable to understand and he trusts Mehar so much that he wanted to tell her everything but her profession is something he was afraid of so he started with the silliest question.
"Sis, Have you seen movies like spiderman, Avengers, Godzilla etc."
" Yep "
" Why so?"
" Will you also become an evil scientist once you complete your doctorate?"
" Ha-Ha"
She burst out laughing.
"Ha-ha"
Arjun was unable to understand what made her laugh.
Looking towards Arjun and realizing about the attention of people who were roaming around she returned to normal.
"Ahem sorry "
" What do you think? Do you think I will become evil once I complete my doctorate?"
" Nope, my sis is the best."
" But Sis, what will you do in case you come across aliens or any other inter terrestrial being?"
" What will I do?" I don't know"
" Then Sis, promise me that you will listen to your heart and won't harm them."
" Hmm hehe"
Mehar smiled
Seeing her smile he felt if he was wrong he felt what she became an evil scientist.
So, he came up with another logic.
" Promise me, sis, then I will promise you that I will ask for medical books from them or other books for you."
" huuhhh, what will I do with those medical books?"
"Like we have medical books to study about ourselves they must also have books that study about themselves. Then you can know about them without harm."
" Whoah, Arjun from where do you get these ideas."
Looking at him with all her amazement she decided to play along.
"What if they refuse to give their books?"
"I promise that I will help you steal them."
She smiled..whether it was his childhood fascination or it was any trick. She was completely enjoying it.
"Anyway, what if they have a different language."
"We will decipher it. I promise to help you."
She blinked her eyes twice.
"Ya -ya sure,No aliens are coming here."
"You never really know what is instore our future."
Arjun said abruptly for a moment he didn't even realized what he spoke.
She stood up to head back home but hearing him she sat back.
She caresses her hand over his hand.
" You do know quite a lot."
" hehe, yep I do."
"Then, Are you promising me?"
She held his hand and...
"Yep, I promise you."
" And promise that anything a puts under code 'distinct ' you would not desciper it."
"Huhhh, what happened this time? Did you broke another Vase?"
"No Sis,There is something I need your help with but you won't ask me to clearly explain things."
"What are talking about?"
This time she knew that whatever she was hearing seems quite important.
"Tell me first."
Arjun brought his hand forward.
"Promise me first."
"Okay, you have my promise."
"But, then don't trouble me in the laboratory"
"I never trouble you."
She pulled his ear.
"Okay, okay I won't trouble you in the laboratory."
Arjun brought her close and directed her into some direction.
"See closely."
"He is Rhythm, he is my friend."
"Huhhh"
All she could see was a light which was hardly visible.
But it was going all around.
"You mean the little light, that little light is alive!"
" Yes, he is an atom."
She exasped some air. She could not believe it. She is mature and needs to deal with a little innocent soul..
"Arjun, No one has ever seen atoms and no one understands them."
"Even though they are not evil scientists; around the world, people are trying to know more about them. Experiments are going on...and atoms are not alive..."
Arjun was only hearing things one after the other and he didn't know how to respond to it. His eyes were fixed over his friend who was currently playing with water. And with every word he heard he his concern towards him was growing more.
"Stay assured from my side Arjun but what about others?"
"Humph, Are you listening to me?"
"Yes, Sis I heard and that's why I need your help."
" I will always help you but I can't be there 24/7 for you. I can't be there everywhere. "
"You need to protect him little champ."
"If the universe has granted you with a precious gift then there must be some reason."
Arjun could only nod. From him, he is his friend and he will protect him but concerns and worries are engulfing him.
"Sis"
He wanted to say something but he left his words unsaid and rushed towards Rhythm.
He was all wet and exhausted and he was about to fall but by the time Arjun came he lifted himself to a wooden ceiling which was still in reach of Arjun.
He came and held his hand. Rhythm simply came over.
"Arjun still wondered who he sometimes lost his energy to."
At the moment he was just watching him resting over his hand.
Mehar was watching him and instead of waiting for Arjun, she went to pick her bike.
Arjun returned and he was surprised to see that his sis was nowhere.
"Peep-Peep."
Mehar came with her scooty.
"Hop on"
"Don't you want to install the light into your watch?"
Arjun was surprised to see her Mehar. Her eyes were sparkling with Pleasence. Arjun was confused just a little while ago she was talking about scary things and right at this moment, her gaze was bringing confidence in him.
"Yep Sisss!!"
And he just sat at the back...
"Do you know Arjun no matter how bumpy a road is it always leads to something?"
"Huuhh"
His Sis truly understands him the best and always prepares him somewhere. She may not be his sibling but she was nowhere less.
