I led Mukund into a cafe, its private room was good and calm, away from the hustle of the trading center. The soft music played in the background, creating a calming atmosphere that stood in stark contrast to the frenzy outside. As we settled into plush chairs, I leaned forward, the air thick with anticipation.
"I have to tell you something important," I began, unable to suppress my excitement.
Mukund raised an eyebrow, curiosity piqued. "Alright, spill it. You're making this sound dramatic."
I took a deep breath, feeling the weight of my words. "What if I told you I have the ability to predict two hours into the future?"
He chuckled, shaking his head in disbelief. "Are you serious? no joking"
I looked at Mukund and with full seriousness and said " I really have the ability and can clearly see two hours into future"
Mukund looked at me seriously as what i said was not normal, but still Mukund didn't question me how i got this ability and from when did i have it.
After sometime he said with some seriousness " If you really had that ability, I'd be placing some serious bets on sports or horse races, and we'd be swimming in money!"
"Why not the stock market?" I countered, trying to gauge his reaction. "With my predictions, we could make informed trades and capitalize on those fluctuations, too."
Mukund shrugged dismissively. "It takes time to move in stocks, and you can't always be glued to the screen waiting for the perfect moment to strike and you said you can pridict only into the future of 2 hours."
"Still," Mukund continued, leaning back, "you can't overlook the high-risk sides of trading. Plus, when you buy something it also affects the future so, I'd rather play it safe before betting my rent on some wild prediction."
I smiled, impressed by his practicality. "That's fair. we can do bets for some time and do some small earnings with the trading after we have enough money"
At this moment Aladdin said to me " Aryan, i saw the big screen in the trade centre showing a graph with high peak in the trading centre"
I looked at Aladdin and then said to Mukund " Let's go to the tradin center".
As we reached There i asked Aladdin " do you still see the same graph on the screen".
Aladdin said " Yes! i can see it".
I said " What name does it have" Then Aladdin again remembered the words one by one and projected in my mind.
It read Crypto currency "MineBOB".
Then i said to Mukund " Mukund the share of MineBOB crypto buy as much as we can".
Mukund looked at me and nodded then we both started buying the shares of MineBOB and also took loan's from app's and Mukund also took money from his friends and family saying he will return it by evening we pooled together a sum of 250000$
TIme passed and exactly at 13:25 The trading floor pulsed with frenetic energy as news of MineBOB surged through the crowd, traders barking orders, screens flashing bright green with numbers climbing into the heavens. I felt an exhilarating rush, the kind that comes when you know you've struck something truly profound—an opportunity that could change everything.
Aladdin, nestled in my backpack with just his head peeking out, was like my secret weapon, the quiet observer who knew more than anyone else in the room. "This is unreal!" I said to Mukund, who was focused intensely on his screen, fingers flying across the keyboard. Our combined efforts to invest in MineBOB were paying off handsomely, our pockets swelling with the sweet promise of success.
"Look! It's already at $6033.05!" Mukund exclaimed as it was 13:30 now in just 5 minutes it reaches 40 times the value, shaking his head in disbelief at the skyrocketing graphs surrounding us. I couldn't help but grin at the dizzying climb of numbers—a feeling of invincibility surged through me. "I can't believe it! We're going to be rich!"
"Yup! And you're getting a huge slice of this pie!" Mukund said, beaming. "But don't lose your head; remember to play it cool. We still need to make sure to sell at the right moment!"
And that was the trick, wasn't it? Timing. Aladdin had the gifted ability and i have him me , but the next question loomed—when to know when to sell? Glancing toward Aladdin, I reaffirmed my resolve. He had become an integral part of this wild journey, but he was also my guardian against potential pitfalls. Time passed and more than 2 hours passsed with some pocket change increase in value of MineBOB.
Suddenly, a voice in my head shattered my reverie. "Aryan, the graph's going down fast!" Aladdin said, his excitement mixed with urgency. I turned my attention to him, instantly captivated.
"Is it?" I asked, analyzing the digital displays around us—green numbers began flashing red more frequently, hinting at an alarming trend. "What time does it show now?" as i want to confrom that the time Aladdin is seeing has not chaged.
And in this short time i made him remember the numbers 0 to 9 and alphabets A-Z so that he can communicate easily.
" It shows 17:48" Aladdin said looking at the time.
"Ok, no need for urgency we can do this slowly as we have two hours." I said to Aladdin.
A surge of adrenaline shot through me Knowing time to slowly liquidate our shares has come "Mukund, we need to think about selling," I said.
Mukund raised his eyebrow, cautiously optimistic as he looked at the numbers climbing and then plummeting again. "But it's still high. Do you really think it would drop that quickly? We could make even more if we hold a little longer!" he countered, a hint of greed sparking in his eyes.
"We're in this together, but I trust me it will go down in 2 hours. I'd rather play it safe than lose everything," I stressed, staring at Mukund's eager face. "Remember, we've made over ten million already—no need to gamble on something that could risk it all."
"Let's slowly liquidate in period of 30 minutes sell bits by bits will get small bits of amount Ok!"
Finally conceding, Mukund nodded, a flicker of caution creeping into his determination. "Okay, let's sell everything in 30 minutes," he relented, eyes darting to the clock as the minutes began to tick away, each second heightening the tension in the air.
We regrouped, and as the atmosphere around us buzzed with uncertainty, my heart raced—nothing could eclipse that sense of power, not when we had a two-hour window into the future guiding us. The time counter ticked down, and I focused intently. "We've got this," I reassured Mukund, adding silently, "as long as Aladdin has my back."
As the clock ticked down, I could feel the pulse of the trading center intensifying, the electric energy vibrating through the air. Mukund and I took deep breaths, mutual determination glinting in our eyes. Aladdin remained perched atop my backpack, his keen gaze darting between the screens and the faces of the traders, seemingly absorbing every detail.
"Let's go over our strategy one more time," I suggested, not wanting to leave anything to chance. "We'll start by selling a smaller portion and gauge the reaction of the market. If it begins to plummet as you predicted, we'll hit the sell button faster for the rest."
Mukund nodded, his fingertips hovering over his keyboard, a whirlwind of excitement brewing within his chest. "Sounds good. I just want to make sure we stick together on this—no roller coasters in decision-making!"
I glanced at Aladdin, who was now staring intently at a nearby screen, his pulsating energy seeming to echo the rise and fall of the market itself. "Aladdin, are you still seeing the price trend dropping?"
"Yes, it's dipping lower with every tick!" he responded, his voice steady and calm in my head, a reassuring balm against the rising tension. "I see numbers rapidly declining."
"Let's do this!" I exclaimed, resuming my focused demeanor. "Mukund, prepare to sell a fifth of our shares now, you ready?"
"Ready." He locked eyes on the figures as we both pressed our respective keys in unison, sending two blocks of shares sliding off into the virtual market.
"Sold!" Mukund exclaimed as the numbers flashed on the screen, confirming our first successful transaction. A small victory, yet I felt invigorated, knowing our instincts were intact.
"Now watch the market closely," I warned, scanning the screens intensively for clues. The graphs began fluctuating, but the prevailing trend seemed to follow Aladdin's foresight. "We need to be agile—if it dips drastically, we'll pull the rest before it crashes fully. Keep your finger on the trigger, Mukund!"
The space began to shift as whispers of uncertainty began to ripple through the traders surrounding us. "MineBOB is seeing stronger resistance; I think it might start swinging," one trader exclaimed to another nearby. The growing caution echoed the thoughts racing through Mukund's and my own minds.
A tension hung in the air, and with each passing second, I could feel the urgency building. "Another quarter? We can't hesitate now," I suggested, my heart pounding.
"Let's do it!" he agreed, and with swift determination, we executed another sale, our combined instincts guiding each movement. The screen confirmed our transaction almost instantaneously, and my excitement soared.
Yet, as soon as the triumph lingered, I felt a tightening in my chest as the numbers danced erratically before my eyes. Aladdin's voice trembled through my thoughts, "Aryan, it's really dropping now! We should sell all of it before it crashes!"
"Mukund! Let's liquidate the rest!" I shouted, adrenaline clouding my thoughts—a potent mingling of fear and exhilaration coursing through me.
"Okay, okay! I'm on it!" he replied, frantically typing commands. The clock was ticking, and I could see the numbers hovering malevolently above the lines on the screen.
I fought against the clenching in my stomach as I yelled, "Sell! Sell! Sell!"
In unison, our fingers sped across our keyboards, with a sense of urgency that synchronized with Aladdin's maddening sense of dread. The numbers began to drop faster than we anticipated
Instantly, the panic surged. "Did we do it in time?" I thought, fear creeping in as the screens began to blur into a stream of alarming reds and fluctuating digits.
Then, the screen flashed, indicating a successful transaction, confirmation ringing in my ears. The adrenaline surged—had we done it? Our hearts crashed against our ribcages, waiting for the feedback.
The final numbers appeared just as the screaming voices of traders filled our surroundings, panic exploding across the floor. "I think we pulled it off!" Mukund shouted, almost ecstatic.
The reality washed over me, as a wave of relief swept in—Aladdin had led us through a labyrinth but we did it.
( For those who are confused the future changed cause of Aryan's action of buying and selling a huge amount and the decrease of the shares value also came early But they made it).
