Kanha has stared this other girl from head to toe she has a average height of a boy, fair skin, short hairs, long legs and she was totally looking like a young cute boy.
Everyone was confused so the scene changed.They decided to sit and then talk. The room Kanha has entered was quite a mess it has everything a perfect house should contain. A small four seater dining table, a fridge, utensils including well designed crockery, TV, and what not.
Kanha was seated at the leader chair. Saanvi and other girl were sitting facing the wall.
"So, uncle was mistaken, you both were girls and we have to share our room with you two." Kanha said in his deepest voice.
Saanvi looked at Kanha with twinkling eyes and seemed to say something. She said--
"So, this really is a conincidence, we have meet at the starting of our day. It seems like God has given us hint before. So, what's your name?"Saanvi asked casually.
But the girl sitting beside her wasn't seemed pleased. She looked at Kanha then at Saanvi and said---"Aren't you two suppose to know each other?"
Ofcourse her statement made sense because Kanha had called Saanvi by her name before. How come Saanvi did not know his name but unfortunately Saanvi had no bother asking Kanha his name when they met first because she thought that he is a passerby in her life and will never show up again but it seemed that they have to live together for who knows how many days. So she replied her sister in gentle voice scratching her head--"I had forgotten to ask his name the last time we met."
"No problem, You can call me Kanha.....Krishna" Kanha replied. He wanted to say 'Kanha' at first because many used his nick name instead of his full name so he was used to his nick name other than his full name. But he thought that he should be formal and told them his full name.
"Krishna...mmm...is your nick name Kanha?" Saanvi asked.
"Ah..yeah precisely." Kanha said. At that moment Tarun came out of bathroom with completely dressed from head to toe in his grey sweater and black pyjamas.
"And what's the name of this little apple." said the other girl with a mischievous smile.
Well, Tarun do not looked like an apple but at the instance he was too embarassed that his cheeks were red as apple.
"He is not an apple. His name is Tarun. Don't call him like that." said Kanha with a hmph.
Usually Kanha did not defend Tarun whenever he is mocked but since the girl's impression was not good to Kanha, he just couldn't let her continue make fun of her little brother. He looked at the other girl sharply and then said--
"By the way, what is your name?"
Saanvi had already guessed the situation that they both were in. Before the fight could start, she said waving her hands in an apologizing expression and said---
"Don't mind her. Her name is Kriti. She always talks like that."
" I see, it seems like she is quite like her name, likes to create everything from word to sentences." said Kanha while looking at Kriti.
'Kriti' name means "creation". Her parents might had named her this name because she was their first creation but as Kanha has interpreted the name Saanvi found it quite reasonable because her sister's profession is somewhat related to it.
"Your eyes are quite sharp--" Saanvi was not half completed that Kriti fired in and said in a harsh voice---
" What do you mean by 'creating everything' huh... I just complimented him because he was as red as apple. That's it."
" So? What I said wrong. I was also complimenting you. Why are you so pissed off? See your sister also admits that."said Kanha leisurely with his arms crossed.
"YOU--" Kriti was just about say but Saanvi stepped in the conversation and said---
"Okay! Okay! Fine. Don"t fight. Let's prepare the dinner. I guess we all have important things to do tomorrow."
" You are quite correct. I don't want to waste my energy on something worthless" said Kanha and pointed Kriti with his eyes.
"Bhaiya! It's over. Don't say anymore." Tarun said nervously.
Saanvi looked at the room that was quite a mess. She know why it was like that and then she dropped it and changed the subject. She stood upright and asked in a cheerful way---- " So, have you two prepared anything for dinner or it's pending."
I can't cook good but if I will try it will took me centuries to make just one 'sabji' Kanha thought to himself and then answered--" No, we have not prepared anything but I have brought some vegetables. We can make anyone of them you like."
Saanvi looked at the shopping bag. Indeed there were so many vegetables. Then she picked up a cabbage and asked--" How about this?"
" Your choice. I have no problem." said Kanha.
**********
An hour or so later, Saanvi served the dishes--- Pattagobhi sabji, Chappatis, Fry rice and Salad.
" Oh.. It looks so delicious. How you made them that shortly?."asked Kanha with his eyes looking at the dishes.
"Thanks for the compliment! But Tarun has helped me so much. its all thanks to him." replied Saanvi.
It was true, Kanha don't know much about cooking but his younger brother at such a tender age of twelve or thirteen is quite good at cooking.
"It's because he is very much interested." Kanha said with an uncomfortable smile.
"Hmph. Your little brother is way more talented than you. Who can say he is younger than you yet he is mature than you." Kriti commented.
Kanha looked at Kriti and moved his eyes quickly and then said in a rather mischievous tone--" I admit I am not good at cooking but what about you? You are talking as you are a master chef."
"Kriti cooks well." said Saanvi.
"Oh really, then why didn't she helped you. I guess Kriti is very lazy. By the way who is older in your pair." asked Kanha.
"Ofcourse the one who is heighted, Kriti." Saanvi pointed at Kriti.
"Oh.. So Kriti it did imply on you too. You are older than her but its seems your maturity level is way too low than her."Kanha commented as well.
"YOU....Bahin tell him not to go too far!" Kriti shouted.
"Oh! I should be the one to say this. My lady, tell your sister not to go too far." Kanha said leisurely and picked the water glass.
" Hey! Who are you referring to? You both, Kriti and Kanha....Krishana be quiet. Let's have meal first." Saanvi said.
"I would like if you call me Kanha. Perhaps, it suits me better." Kanha said with a smile.
After the supper, they all prepared their bed. With no doubt, there were two bunker beds. On one, Kanha slept downside and Tarun slept upside. On the next, Kriti slept downside and Saanvi slept upside. Saanvi was still working with her mobile and her expression were serious as she was doing something very crucial.
Kanha looked from downside at her side for a moment and then asked her casually.
"Hey, the lights are off. What are you doing? If you will work with mobile at night, it may affect your eyes."
She looked at Kanha and smiled," I am not doing anything. Just clearing some orders. Sorry for disturbing you." Saanvi said and put her mobile aside.
She then asked Kanha casually," By the way, what is your stream? In which college are you in?"
Kanha smiled," I am a medical student. First year, JIPMER."
" JIPMER.....mmm. It's one of the best medical colleges and it seems you are one of the best student , right?" Saanvi chuckled.
"Yeah, as you said, one of the best. Well what is your stream?" Kanha asked.
" Oh.. I am in an engineering college. I have taken a course in computer science." Saanvi replied.
Kanha now remembered where he had heard her name. She is the JEE-advanced topper of this year. But just now she had told that she was clearing some orders. It's also her very first year so what's with that orders. He was about to ask then suddenly an irritated voice from beside him said--" Why you two are talking in the middle of the night. Kanha can't you sleep. Save some chit chat for tomorrow."
Except Kriti whose voice it could be. And she was the one sleeping on the bed next to him.
" Hey! I have given her the permission to say my nick name not you." Kanha replied.
" Didn't you said it suits you?" Kriti asked him while laughing.
Kanha thought for a moment and ofcourse he was the one who said it." Cut the crap. Good night." Kanha said.
" GN" Kriti replied as well.
" I don't said to you. I said to her. My lady, good night." Kanha said but no voice came. It seems Saanvi had already slept when they were talking. Kanha looked at her for a moment and slept too.
*************
The next day, Kanha woke up at six o clock. He got himself freshed and looked at the room. No one was awaken. He on the lights and woke up Tarun by messing Tarun's hair with his light finger.
"Tarun, wake up, you have to go to school." Kanha said and moved to kitchen. He clutched his hair and thought for a moment ,for what to make in Tarun's lunch. After a moment Kanha came up with an idea. When Tarun entered in kitchen, he crossed his arms and said " Bhaiya, no need to worry for my luch. I will make myself--" he was not half completed that he saw that Kanha had already made his lunch box ready. He had made tea as well and have roasted some bread for breafast. Tarun was surprised. Kanha who never done anything perfectly in the kitchen ever had made stuff in this much short time, Tarun knows that whenever his Bhaiya is perfect in kitchen , it must have only one reason.
"Bhaiya, have you burned somewhere while cooking?" This is a genuine question everyone, who knows him asked whenever he done cooking so perfectly. It has been his fate since he was a child. If Kanha had cooked something well, he must have burned himself in the process.
"Cut the crap. Do you think I am that much careless. I have not cooked anything. I have just roasted some bread and made tea. I have only made some chapatis for you for.. your luch. Your lunch box include the mango pickle and chapatis."
As expected. what he could do besides that. But Tarun continued to look at him with suspicion."Don't stare me. Have breakfast and get ready. I have to drop you school today. From tomorrow there will be bus." Kanha ordered.
Tarun did as he was told. They left room and locked it from outside. Ofcourse he cannot leave it unlocked for two girls were still inside. Saanvi already had a spare key of the room so she will open it herself when she will wake up.
After dropping Tarun to his school, it was almost eight thirty. Kanha himself have to bathe and ready for his first day of college. He returned to his room but there was no one in there and the door was locked. Kanha opened it saw the mess. Really the two girls left so early that they did not have the chance to tidy the room. Kanha looked and cleaned the room first then took a bath. It was nearly half past nine and he straight headed for college.
As he approched the college road he saw huge building. It was very big. The interior had greenery as well. Kanha got goosebumps when he entered and walked around. Indeed, it was his dream college. He entered the classroom and choosed the last seat to sit. After attending the lectures they had to go to lab for practical and all the students were grouped. Each group contained three students and one head professor. They enterd the lab. Kanha looked at the lab accessories with shining eyes. His heart's desire was to touch and use each and every equipment of the lab. Just the a hushed voice came from aside him. "Wah! brother can we touch it?". He was one of the member of the group. He was one inch smaller than Kanha and pretty handsome but with one glance of him told Kanha that this person is somewhat a mischievous man with mischievous intent.
"Why don't you ask him in person?" Kanha replied and pointed at the head professor.
The head professor was in a white coat, he was about of fifty and wore a strict face with gentle smile. "No way! he will shout at me." the group member hushed. But his voice had reached the head professor's ear. "What you two are smiling for?"he demanded.
"Nothing sir. Just I want to ask a question. Can we touch equipments of the lab?" Kanha said in his prettiest voice with a charming smile but the head professor was not at all impressed. He said with a harsh voice," These are none of your buisness at the current stage.You have not yet learned the basic and jumping at the next level."
" I just wanted to touch them.." Kanha said.
"First tell me the name of them and then you may touch" the head professor demanded.
How can Kanha indentified all those instruments. There were many of them which Kanha had seen first time in his lifetime. So Kanha asked confidently," So you mean if I told the name of these things, I can touch them?."
"Without a doubt, yes." the professor said and moved to his table.
" I might introduce you three to myself. I am Dr. Narayan Mehra. I am your head professor and as well as I am your professor of some of the subject you know very well. Now introduce yourself. First you." he said and pointed at Kanha.
"Krishna Yadav" Kanha said politely. And then the rest two members followed him.
"My name is Ishant Khurana" said the group member who approched Kanha the very first.
"I am Rashmika Roy Choudhary" a sweet calm voice said. She was the only girl in the group. She was calm, composes with both her hands clasped behind her back, her lips was rosy and she was very fit. She was beautiful afterall but Kanha thought regarding by her physical appearance She should eat more nutrtious food.
Hours passed by,it was almost 3 o'clock. It was lunch time. Kanha took the simple plate which contained a sabji, two chapatis, rice and dal. He sat on the chair and placed both his arms on the table thinking how Tarun had been doing. Kanha has just got to know that he will get late to get to home. It's good that I have already told Tarun to come by bus Kanha thought. Indeed, Kanha said to Tarun that the bus will be available from tomorrow but when they reached the school, Kanha saw the bus ready so he told Tarun to come by bus.
"Hey, Are u in comma?" asked a voice from the other corner of the table. It was Ishant's voice. Kanha looked at him, he was smiling brightly but Kanha replied him coldly--
"None of your buisness"
"Sorry, don't be mad at me." Ishant apoligized quickly and offered Kanha a jalebi from his plate.
"No thanks, I am okay. I am not mad." Kanha assured him and started eating his own lunch. But when he looked again at Ishant , his gaze was dark and he somewhat seemed disappointed. "By the way friend, from which state are you? Are you originally from here?" Kanha asked with a gentle smile. He was fully aware that his words might have hurt this guy. So to smoothen the situation, he decided to talk to him. But in a second ,that man's face lit up again and he said laughing, "No, I am from Noida, UP. AMM" He finished his jalebi and drank water. " Noida?? mmm I used to live there when I was a child but there is a friend of mine who resides there." Kanha said while laughing too.
Kanha's home was originally in Noida but ever since Ahaan died, they left their place and moved to Tamil Nadu. And when Kanha came to Tamil Nadu, he found that place really fun and beautiful but the fact that he donot like it very much is that he was not able to learn Tamil and so he was not able to make friends there. Instead of making friends, he have offended quite a big deal of people so he just wanted to leave that place as soon as possible. He surely want to go there once in his lifetime again ,just to watch sea for his one of the favourite place in Tamil Nadu includes the beaches as well.
Hours passed by and it was night, it was correct nine o'clock when Kanha left the college. He wandered on the crowded roads for today it was baazar day. Kanha waved his hand for auto or taxi but was not able to halt anyone of these. Why they are not stopping despite seeing .If you don't want to stop atleast pretend you have not seen me Kanha thought and sighed. He found the task more frustrating than anything. He let it go for a moment and stop trying and decided that he will try to halt them again at the public sqaure. As he was walking, some breeze touch him coyly, he put one of his hands in pocket and took out a small pendrive.
"When Kartik will come, so that we can move forward." he said and sighed again but as his lips finished moving suddenly someone bumped into him. Although the person was runnng, it seems that he had not accidently bumped into him but he had intently bumped into him. " Sorry bro!" the man shouted and ran forward. He had wore a black hoody with a smily face embedded on it and had a red cap on the top of his had.
And at the next moment Kanha recognized that his pendrive is missing, it was with that running man. At an instance Kanha started to run after him and shouted "Hey! wait ,my pendrive!!!" but his wail get mixed with the crowd's sound and nobody heared his cry.
He ran madly after that man without thinking about his environment. He bumped into so many people that he could not help but apologize to everyone. But the man running was running very fast like wind. "HEY WAIT, YOU THEIF!!" at this voice Kanha turned around because the voice had came from behind him. There was gang of four person, looking very dreadful and ferrocious from appearance. At one glance Kanha could say that they are some goons who are already behind that man who have stolen his pendrive.
But as he thought this, he felt a sharp sprain in his leg and apparently was about to fell in a gutter when he felt that suddenly his body had slowed his pace. At an instance he was caught by fair hands with baby pink sleeves and was shoved aside in a narrow passage. He smell some rose scent and looked up to see who that person was and his eyes were surprised. "Saanvi??" he said while smiling.
"Are you okay?? Why were you running so madly?" she asked. Kanha looked at her dazed. He asked Saanvi,"Why.. am.. I..talking....at....this...speed..?" Saanvi looked at him and pinched her fingers again. She said in an apologetic manner by one of her hands scratching her head,"Sorry." Kanha suddenly noticed that her eyes were hum, and at that moment Kanha asked her," Have you cried before?"
Saanvi wiped her eyes with her sleeves and said smiling cheerfully ," I was eating panipuri, they were too spicy " she sobbed.
When a girl is disappointed or is full of resentment, she wanna cry to spit those anger out and eats spicy things to cool herself. Even Kanha's own mother do this. Kanha understood that this same applies for Saanvi too. He standed upright and was about to ask that the man who has stolen his pendrive entered the same narrow passage where Saanvi and Kanha stood. The man glanced at Kanha, he was wearing a mask so Kanha was not able to see his face. At the sight of Kanha the man turned sharply and was about to run that the gang of goons also came shouting "HEY KID!! THERE YOU ARE,NOW WHO WILL SAVE YOU?"
At the same time Kanha also shouted recognizing him,"Hey!! Give me back my pendrive."
At this instance, the man waved his hands and the wind blew more wildly. And then the man pinched his fingers and started to fly. Kanha and Saanvi both were startled. The gang of mans started following him and Kanha and Saanvi also started to run after him. The man descended and then started to run at his full speed until a wide deserted ground came. It seemed like a factory and there were many trucks parked nearby which contained steel rods. The man stopped and took the one of the steel rods, simultaneosly Kanha and Saanvi arrived. Suddenly Saanvi sensed something danger and pushed Kanha from there and a big loud bang was heard. Something has hit the ground hard and it was no other than one of the goons work. The goons surrounded Kanha and Saanvi, the two parties stared at eachother and apparently started to fight.
Kanha and Saani did not had arms so they fighted with their fists.
"I am really sorry my lady, I got you in this trouble." Kanha said while kicking the goons.
"No truouble, where is that guy who stole your pendrive?"asked Saanvi.
Kanha wandered his eyes and at the top of a truck he could see that cap man fleeing. And at this instance one of the goons attacked with a fire ball emerging from his hands. Saanvi bent to save her but unfortunately just behind her Kanha was fighting and the fireball came directly to Kanha's face. "Noooooo!!!" Saanvi screamed while trying to slow the speed of the fireball with both of her hands but it was too late.
The fireball has reached Kanha's face but at same time Kanha opened his mouth and devoured it. His dark black eyes suddenly shined crimson and everyone stopped.
Kanha smiled and looked at the goons by slowly raising his head," You've got the wrong person." and with this the dark black shot poured from his hands and with a force it striked everyone who was present there except Saanvi.
The goons stared at him and then with a greater force started their attack once more but this time united efforts were made."Kanha, that man who stole your pendrive is running away!" said Saanvi.
"My lady please take care of them for a while." Kanha said anxiously and ran after that man with pendrive.
" With pleasure." Saanvi replied and pinched her fingers, at that moment all the goons frozed.
Kanha was running after that man and thought How come this person is running too fast, he is definetely not an ordinary human. Kanha skipped his journey by flying and landed just infront of that man. The man was shocked and prepared to fight.
"Hey cap man, give me my pendrive back!" Kanha demanded urgently. But the man shook his head and attacked Kanha with the iron rod. Kanha bent abrutly and punched the man on his back. The man fell at an instance. Kanha stopped and said," Well, do you admit defeat now, go on , give me my pendrive." Kanha demanded sharply while smiling.
But as soon as Kanha touched the man he turned in to dust and flew. Kanha was taken aback. How could this happen. Was the person not real.
Kanha waved his hands to remove the dust, just then Saanvi arrived.
" Caught him or not??" Saanvi asked anxiously.
" Cap man flew away, changing his form in dust." Kanha sighed.
Kanha did not know what to do. What he will say to his dearest Kartik about this incident. Just then Saanvi asked," What was in that pendrive?"
Kanha looked at her and smiled and said,"Nothing...besides some information about our powers that my friend and I had found after wandering for months in vain."
Saanvi asked Kanha again," Will it affect you?"
At this question, Kanha started laughing, that pendrive did not contained any of the information about them which will affect them. Besides, it contained the information that could affect others. Kanha said," I think may be, but you not need to worry, it has got nothing to do with you. Besides, Kartik and I have locked it with password. He will not be able to crack it anyway."
Saanvi stared at him as she was disappointed by his answer. and then she asked," What do you mean saying 'has got nothing to do with me' you and I have powers and this the the strongest way in which I will also get affected too."
Well, that statement made sense too but Kanha was too tired and Saanvi was also feeling too fatigue so they both exchanged looks and smiled uncomfortably.
"Let's take a rickshaw or something and get home first," Kanha suggested.
Saanvi nodded lazily and after half an hour they found a rickshaw and headed straight to home. It was nearly half past ten. They have got too late.
And when the room's door opened, Kriti fired and shouted ," Where were you two? Bahin you are too late today...I thought something happened to you..don't do it ever again."
Tarun came and hugged his Bhaiya tightly while tears rolling down his cheeks,"Bhaiya!!"
Kanha hated this. Not his brother but his reaction. He shoved Tarun aside, he was very tired to answer his question so he just said slowly "Get lost, we will talk tomorrow."
After supper, he relaxed and studied three hours and then slept after two o'clock.
