Story teller (Vibin Chandira Paul)

  Zeeshan and Advik returned back to me and enquired about my health.  They hesitated to see my parents.  They both begged pardon from my parents and Aalya.  My parents interrupted them kindly, "Please don't feel sorry.  You have apologized multiple times.  Actually, we must thank you for informing us and admitting my son to the hospital.  Whatever happened is happened, nothing is in our hands.  Today, my son is alive because of you both.  We are very thankful for you and your father". "My son told me everything about you and your brother.  He always updates us about his research.  Even though he was in a critical situation, he left a message for us.  Only my family members can understand the code language.  My father used to teach him.  It is easy and precise.  I can understand the entire situation very well."  Zeeshan praised my parents with an emotional tone, "So kind of you.  Thank you so much for n...

  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 rememb...

  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 ...

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 h...

                          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 ...

 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 s...

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 st...

  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 thi...

  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 ene...

       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...

What ?? Is that me? Am I going to destroy everything?  But I designed it with the help of my team. Why should I? A lot of questions raised in my mind without answers.   No... I must not do this.. I must not..  I talked to myself and I decided to run far away from this place.      I was running away from the lab thinking that I could not do this and it should not happen.  It is very hard to build and design a Quantum computer to see the future.  So many scientists were sleepless during this whole project.  I shouldn't destroy my entire team's victory.      While running away from the Lab, I was getting calls from Zeeshan frequently.  I had hesitation to attend the call.  I slowed down my acceleration and started to walk.  And I attended his call.      On the other side, Zeeshan was telling me in a rushed voice, "Lashwin, listen to me very carefully.  We are running out of time.  There...

       The day came to see the future.  I dressed up well.  I told my parents that it was one of the special and important days in my life.  Because my idea is going to mesmerize the world.  With my parents' blessings, I went to the science lab earlier.  Aalya called me and wished me.  And she said, "Today I have one important seminar.  So, I can't come.  Please accept my apology."  I replied, "It's okay, no problem Aalya, We shall meet in the evening.  Carry on with the seminar.  Bye"  And we both hang off.         Nobody is there in the science lab, except me.  I was very happy to see my project work.  I realized everything.  How much I struggled when I was in the Science Research Community (SRC).  But now, my theoretical work came into practical use.         For every struggle, there is a purpose.  Without knowing the pain of sadne...

       I was staring at the portal.  And I went to see all the work going on in the lab.  The day ends with mystery questions.  I didn't share it with anyone.    After dinner, I was thinking about the portal.  I was trying to solve those mysteries.  But it is still in the mystery portion.  I went to bed.  And I was thinking about the unsolved mysteries in my life.    From childhood, I was experienced by some force.  Something made me understand science and especially time.  While comparing myself to others, I had a good understanding of the time.  Why should I select a science stream?  Why should I continue my research on the topic "time"?  Why am I seeing things that people can't see?  Why should Zeeshan select me?  Why did the portal make me so curious?       Suddenly, a voice came from the portal.  The voice says,   "Lashwin......L...

     Advik gave me a weird look and started to explain, "It started to drag everything.  Nobody knows what to do.  At last, they found a way to solve this problem.  We had only one way.  That is, one person should operate the portal device by going inside it.  But the problem is that person won't get outside.  This is the situation, and there is no time to make a good decision.      The one who made this portal came in front to save everyone.  He is one of the great scientists, the world doesn't know about him but we know.  Zeeshan's father had great respect for him.  He is one of Zeeshan's father's best friends.  He made the decision to close the portal by going inside it.  He can make it outside, but the time is very short.  Time is Gold.      At that time, Zeeshan and I were kids."      I interrupted, "Mr. Advik, you both?"      Oh, sorry.  I for...

     I turned to Aalya.  She says with a smile, "I am going to finish my Ph.D and my university offers me a job".       She doubled my happiness.  "Congratulations professor" , I said.  She laughed at me and we all had our dinner at home.  It was late at night.  So, my parents told Aalya to stay at home.  But she had some work to do.  So, she asked me to leave her home.  She compromised my parents and we got on bikes.  She says bye to my parents.  We started our journey towards home.       Within a few minutes, we reached her home.  She got off my bike.  She asked me, "What are you thinking about me?"       Mini me 1 says, "She gives the situation to express your heart.  Don't miss this situation".      Mini me 2 says, "No, it is a simple question.  Don't overthink".      "Lachuu, are you here?"      It made me con...

     The next evening, I went to his party.  They welcomed me like a VIP.  I wore a formal dress with formal shoes.      After a few hours, I returned home.  While entering, Aalya was eagerly waiting for me.  She asked with lots of curiosity in her eyes, "What happened?"      I started to say what happened there.       Inside the party, there is a huge crowd.  Advik came to me and gave his hand to me.  Advik guided me towards the open space where Zeeshan was waiting.  He welcomed me with a good smile.      Aalya interrupted, "Stop" .  I was off and staring at her.  "Sorry, will you please say what the main theme is.  Because I am very curious".  My parents start to laugh.  "Okay, let me get to the point ".      Actually, he offered to work in his science lab.  That is, he offers me a Director post in his Science lab for the secre...

       "Hello"      A voice from another side says, "Is this Mr.Lashwin?"      "Yes Myself.  May I know who this is."      "Hello sir, I am Advik , P.A of Zeeshan sir.  I hope, you have already heard about my boss.  One of the millionaires in the world".      "Yes.  I have heard about him.  How can I help you?"      Advik says, "Sir, actually he wants to talk with you.  So, he invited you to join his party at his five star hotel, tomorrow evening."      I asked, "The talk is about what?"      " Sorry, sir, only he knows"      "Okay, I shall think about it, Mr.Advik"      "Okay sir, Thank you"      "You are welcome, Mr.Advik."       The call hangs off.  Aalya asked me, "What's the matter?".  I explained the conversation.  She asked me,  "What are you thinki...

       I opened the letter with curiosity and read.  After finishing reading, I got struck.  My questions got vanished.  I have no words to say.  She laid her head down with complete silence.  I folded the letter and kept it in my right pocket.  There is no one except us. I broke that silence.      I said, "I shall drop you at home".  Simply, she shaked her head without a look and a word.  I picked her up on my motor bike.  We had a silent travelling.  Within a few minutes, we reached her home.  She went inside the gate of her house and turned towards me.  Still her head is lying down.      Without saying anything, I left her home.  While leaving, I saw my watch, it is 5.15 P.M .  But it is unusual to see no one on the road, and it is like 12 P.M.        I reached my home.  The sky starts to roar with lightning.  Light rain starts....
