Story teller (Vibin Chandira Paul)

  I comforted Aalya and we kept silent for a few seconds.   The silence broke by the sound of the door opening and walking steps.  The doctor entered my room along with my parents, Zeeshan and Advik. The doctor presented her with a beautiful smile, "Hi Lashwin, I am Dr. Natasha Kumari. I am the one who treats you.  How are you doing? Do you have any pain? I smiled, "Hello doctor, I am pretty well.  But I have a little pain in my chest". Dr.Natasha interrupted, "Yes, it will be Lashwin, but don't worry, soon it will get alright". She noted everything in a notepad and told me, "Just follow the medication that I prescribed.  I had instructed your parents everything" "You are very fortunate Lashwin because you escaped from two bullets.  I hope you could remember these hard disks.  These hard disks saved you from a major accident.  But slightly scratched your chest". I saw the hard disks which had two holes in them.  Then, I could remember ev

  Instantly, I woke up with heavy breathing and full of sweat.  My mom and dad rushed to me and hugged me with a smile full of tears.  I had no idea, what was going on.  My eyes wandered all over the room and I asked, "Are we in the hospital?" They interrupted me by asking so many questions, "Are you okay? Feeling better? Do you feel any pain in your body?" I answered, "Mom, Dad, I am completely alright?"  I came into full consciousness.  I felt like someone held my hand.  I turned to see. That was Aalya, who held my hand with eyes full of tears.  I was surprised to see her very close to me because I had seen her all over the room but I missed. I comforted my parents.  Then, they went to call the doctor because the doctor had told them to call her when the patient woke up.   I looked into Aalya's eyes.  I unplugged my glucose tube and turned towards her.  I wiped her tears.  She tried to speak something but her tears wouldn't let her speak.  Withou

We were touched.  Suddenly, the shadow dragged me into it like a black hole.  I screamed loudly and tried to get away.  Haaaaa......... It took half of me.  I was struggling to get away.  Slowly, it dragged me and my hand was left behind.   Out of nowhere, a hand came to me and took me away from the dragging force.   I was breathing heavily by kneeling down with one hand on the ground and another hand still held by someone.  I saw the feet of the person, which looked familiar.  I looked up to see the face.  It glittered like gold and her eyes shined like a pearl.  She is none other than Aalya.   She was wearing a full black dress.  I held her hand tightly and laid my head on her hand and cried heavily.   She knelt down and hugged me.  She told, "It's okay dear".  She comforted me and made me normal.  It took some time for me to get into the normal state.  She took my face with her soft hands.  I was looking at her like a hurt puppy.  She looked into my eyes and told me, 

                          At some blurry state, I saw Zeeshan and Advik running towards me.  Suddenly, everything became dark and everyone got disappeared.   I was standing in a dark place alone.  I was just blank and I sighted everywhere.  I saw a light at some distance and I ran toward it.  The voice echoed everywhere, it says, "Your part is over. It's time to end".  The voice became louder and louder.  I got panicked but I didn't feel my heart.  I just closed my eyes and shut my ears with my hands.  Still, I heard a voice around me.  I screamed a lot. After some time, the place withdrew into silence.  I slowly opened my eyes.  The place became white as milk. I wandered my eyes all over the side but I didn't see anyone or anything.  Instantly, I saw a human shadow staring at me.  Straight away the shadow ran towards me.  I was frightened and ran backward but it was so quick to reach me soon.  I was breathing heavily but still, I couldn't feel my heart.  That

 Sahib's assistant Jose gasped and muttered, "What the ... "  He shouted like hell to see the ashes all over the lab. It was the first time I am seeing Sahib and Jose.  Jose sees las a trigger for Sahib's wrong path.  His eyes are full of evil and betrays.  Sahib was standing in front of me without any reaction on his face.  He just observes everything. And his army was waiting for his command.  Jose ordered one of his soldiers to visit the lab.  He took the access card from Zeeshan and walked towards the door.   Slowly, the fire got disappeared.  A soldier went inside.  He saw everywhere and told to Jose, "Nothing is here, only ashes remain". Jose appreciated Zeeshan with anger, "You got a good protective system.  Nobody in the building knows about the fire and blast right?." Sahib's silence broke and asked the soldier who went inside, "What about the hard disk". The Soldier answered in a single word, "Melted sir" Advik sta

Due to the high voltage, the entire system blasted out and the electricity turns into fire.  The force from the blast threw me away, outside the Lab.  I got a few injuries but still, I had consciousness. Every secret lab has a unique protective system.  It will get activated at the time of the alarm.   Zeeshan was very conscious of human lives.  Because of the accident that happened in the past.  The portal sucks the great scientist inside it.  Everyone was helpless that day.  So, he built this protective system with the help of many scientists and engineers. Fire alarm alerts the protective system.  Doors were closed all over the lab.  The system started to suck out the oxygen inside the lab to control the fire.  The system also provides oxygen masks for the people who got caught inside the lab.  But, luckily nobody was in the lab.  Even, I threw out of the lab.   The protective system took many steps to stop the fire. Suddenly, Sahib came there with his army.  I saw Zeeshan and Advik

  I collected hard disks from the system and I kept them in my blazar.  I took an axe in my hand.  I didn't have the heart to destroy but I had no choice.  I shouted frustratingly.  Tears welled in my eyes. Why should I destroy? I yelled at God, Why me? Is this the result of my hard work?  The pain in me became more and more intense.  The pain that I can't express through words.  The wound that won't heal.  The scars that never disappear.  The fall that won't make me stand again.  It's a kind of painful sacrifice.    This day destroyed me into pieces like I am going to destroy the QC into pieces.   This day would be a black in my life. Even I didn't have enough time to express my feelings and frustration. I destroyed the QC into pieces.  The circuit got short and electricity scatters everywhere in the lab.  Lights got fluctuated and I stood with an axe in my hand. I realized everything that the same thing happened in the QC monitor when I saw the future. Nothing

  What am I going to do now?  I wanna destroy or think of some alternate ways to save QC. I told myself, "Lashwinnn.... Make it fast" I turned and ran back to the lab.   No one in the lab except me.  I was thinking, if I disconnect everything, they will reconnect it or if I have done something to QC and make it not work, they would have blackmail us at gunpoint. Once Zeeshan shared his memories about his brother Sahib, "He is very cruel and arrogant.  He tried to kill Zeeshan multiple times to take his father's wealth alone.  After separating us, Sahib changed a lot.  His heart was buried for Zeeshan's success and growth.  His vengeance increases and he took the wrong path.  We became helpless.  He made his own army and started to do illegal business like weapon designing and transport all over the World, constructing nuclear weapons, etc... Due to his growth in illegal business, he became the king of evil.  He made so many enemies and got busy with his schedule

       Lashwin stood in shock for a while.  He took some breath and calmed himself down and he asked him, Why?        On the other side Zeeshan, "My brother Sahib has found everything including our secret research.  He has a huge army, we can't defeat them.  Somebody from our office leaked our information to him.  I don't know who is spy.  We shall deal with that later, now Sahib is coming for the Quantum computer(QC) that we designed to see the future.  If he got that, then we have to face lots of consequences.  Not only us but the World."      Lashwin interrupted, "We shall think alternate ways rather than destroying QC".      Zeeshan replied in stiff tone, "Our lab is very secret.  If the government knows, they will mark it as illegal and they will arrest everyone.  Also, we have so many competitive companies, they are eagerly waiting for our fall.  They easily spread fake news and made us fall to the ground.  We will lose people's trust and beli
