In the woodland mountain, a younger Tamim, Fahim, and Tanisa engaged in a spirited game of hide and seek.
Tamim took on the role of the seeker, counting as his friends scurried to find the perfect hiding spots.
Fahim, with determination in his eyes, nestled behind a colossal tree. "This time," he vowed, "Tamim won't find me."
Yet, amid the suspense, a peculiar fragrance wafted through the air. Fahim turned, only to witness an otherworldly hand emerging. The hand unfolded, revealing a mouth within, from which a crystal descended.
The enigmatic mouth uttered, "Please break the seal and save Master Rou." As swiftly as it appeared, the portal closed, and the hand vanished, leaving behind the cryptic crystal.
Present Time -
18-12-2987
Tamim and Fahim cycling at night on the road of Woodland Mountain, discussing.
"Ahh, tomorrow is our final match again. Bloodstrok got canceled, making the tournament easier for us," says Fahim.
"Well, Ninjaboys are playing, replacing Bloodstrok, and that day opponents didn't play well due to their sickness, so taking this match easily isn't a good thing," says Tamim.
Both get down from their cycles.
"We are on the spot," says Fahim and sits on the grass, enjoying the clear view of the city.
Tamim also sits beside Fahim.
"So, you and Faria are in the same university. I don't know why, but I think both of you look like you're a couple. You rarely talk. Tell me, do you like her?" asks Fahim.
"No, not at all, and I always avoid these kinds of things, you know," says Tamim.
While talking, Fahim looks to the left and sees a girl standing far away, getting ready to jump from a bridge.
"Look, that girl is jumping. I need to stop her," says Fahim and sits on his cycle, starting to ride towards the bridge.
Tamim observes the situation, thinking, "If a person wants to die, we should let them die. It's useless to stop them."
Fahim almost reaches the bridge, and the girl has already jumped. Suddenly, Tamim teleports there and tries to hold the girl with his hand. He manages to hold on, but the girl's sweaty hand loses grip, and she starts falling. Tamim uses his telekinesis to slow down the falling speed, and the girl lands on the road under the bridge.
Fahim heads towards the place where the girl fell, asking, "Are you okay?"
"Why did you save me? I wanted to jump," says the girl.
Tamim arrives and says, "It's useless to save people who want to die." He recognizes the girl as the one who was chased by some guys that day.
The girl also sees Tamim and thinks, "It's the same boy who saved me like a hero that day."
A patrol police car arrives at the scene.
The police officer steps out of the car and addresses them, "Are these boys trying to do something bad with you?"
Fahim responds, "She was trying to commit suicide; we just stopped her."
"Shut up, I didn't ask you," retorts the police officer to Fahim, turning to the girl, "You tell me what happened."
"He is telling the truth," says the girl.
"Still, the three of you have to go to the station with me," insists the police officer.
"Why would we go? We saved a girl; is that a crime?" questions Tamim.
"Don't make me. Enter the police car now," warns the police officer, adding, "If you don't, I will make both of you."
"Ma'am, you two, please get inside the car," says the police officer to the girl.
All three enter the car with the girl in the front seat and Tamim and Fahim in the back seat. The car begins to move, and Tamim, looking outside, thinks, "The world is so weird. I mean, they talk about gender equality, but here the police talked with us in a rude tone and talked with the girl in a soft tone. In truth, this gender equality or any form of equality doesn't exist."
In the police station:
Officer: What's your name?
Shanti: Santi Rahman.
Officer: So, Shanti, do you know them?
(Points at Tamim and Fahim)
Shanti: No, I don't.
Officer: Did they try to do bad things to you?
Shanti: No, they didn't.
Officer: Why did you want to commit suicide?
Shanti hesitates and says, "I wanted to be an idol, so I went to give an interview at Firefly Entertainment. But the manager wanted to do bad things with me, so I escaped. I came home and made a video telling about all this, but people trolled me because I wore short clothes and they told me, it should have happened."
Officer: Why didn't you talk to the police?
Shanti: He is one of the richest person's son; I thought the police wouldn't be helping me.
The doors open, and Shanti's parents arrive.
The officer, pointing at Tamim and Fahim, says, "Both of you can go now; your work here is over."
Tamim and Fahim in the mountains again. Fahim found his cycle, and Tamim came to find his cycle.
"We found our cycles; now we need to go home as quickly as possible. It's 1:27 am already," says Tamim.
"Tamim, you have superpowers, right? And you didn't tell me. As your best friend, I feel sad knowing this," says Fahim.
"No, I don't," says Tamim with confusion.
"So how did you teleport and save the girl? Also, your eyes were glowing at that moment," says Fahim.
"Oh no, I used my power completely forgetting that Fahim was nearby," thinks Tamim and says, "What? What did ..I did what? Trust me, I don't even know how I did that," says Tamim to Fahim to defend himself.
"If you are telling the truth, try to move the cycle only using your brain," says Fahim.
"Okay, I will try," says Tamim and tries to move the cycle.
"I can move easily, but if I move easily, he will think I have control of my power. On the other side, if I act like I can't, he might think I am hiding. So, for that, I will act like I am struggling, move a bit, and drop it," thinks Tamim. Tamim tries to act like he is trying hard to move the cycle. The cycle doesn't move, and after a while, the cycle moves a bit.
"Now I have to act like I am surprised," thinks Tamim and says, "Wait, what? I moved this."
"Yup, you did, and I was sure you have power after I saw you teleport today," says Fahim.
"You mean teleport? Well, if I teleported, so why are you telling me to move things?" says Tamim.
"It's simple. The girl fell from the bridge at slow speed, and she fell on the ground unharmed. Isn't that weird? A normal human would've died if jumped from there. Your eyes were glowing while the girl was falling, and it felt like you slowed down the fall speed. That's why I told you to move objects," says Fahim.
"I still can't believe how I got the power? And how to get rid of this," says Tamim.
"You wanna get rid of it? Why? Having power is great and my dream," says Fahim.
"I wish everything that happened was a dream. I just feel I am cursed," says Tamim.
"You should be happy that you got power. Trust me, if you learn your power, you will have fun, and I will teach you," says Fahim.
"Tomorrow is our final, and we are wasting time. It's 1:45 already. We should end the tournament first, then talk about this," says Tamim.
