" Ohh it's you dizzy. Why you scream " Said raghav taking a small breath.
4444444444
" I'm- I'm just a little surprised. "
" Why? " He asked.
" It's eight o'clock. " Said the resident, softly dizzy.
" Oh. "said raghav. And he sat back on his chair, and looked at her.
" Can I get a toothbrush and paste. " Said the boss to his assistance.
" Y-yes I can. '' Said the woman and nodded.
" Anything else? " She asked him. And Raghav looked thoughtful.
" Bring me coffee and do you have breakfast? " Asked raghav.
" I took an apple. " Said dizzy.
" Ok, bring breakfast for two, and bring a big bottle of wine, and a whisky. And anything you like to eat. '' Said Raghav looking at his watch.
She nodded and went to complete his order.
After an hour, they were eating their breakfast in silence, when Raghav asked a question.
" What are you doing here early? " And dizzy looked at him.
" Nothing, just some work was left here and there. '' Said dizzy to his boss.
" So do you often come this early, or is it just a coincidence that I saw you are early two times when I was early that time, or it's a coincidence? "asked raghav.
" Never lie to your boss if you can't hide it. '' Said Raghav looking at him, and dizzy looked sheepish.
" Well, I'm a little workaholic. '' Said dizzy.
" I like to work, and I really don't have anything to do in the house otherwise, and I'm a earli worker, so it helps. '' Said dizzy. And raghav didn't teach more about it.
" I haven't heard much news lately, is anything worth noticing? " Asked Raghav for her assistance.
" There is that meteor crashing near the construction side area, and it does some heavy damage in the place, and broke many windows from kilometres range, and also cracked some of our windows as well. And surprisingly no one was harmed, or dead. Scientists were looking for any form of radiation and the reason. " Said dizzy.
" Anything else? "asked raghav.
" Nothing just some miner news, that krish fellow saved some people from a burning house, a thief I'm the city looting the rich, with a mask and something like that, and then the storm in the Maldives. " And raghav perked.
" What about Maldives? "asked raghav.
" No news has come but we have sent an envoy of reportera there, but it's a bit dangerous, the storm is one of its kind. " Said dizzy. And raghav noded.
" And then there is the submarine that got lost." And Raghav looked at her.
" Who has gone to that area? " Asked Raghav.
" Team three has gone there. '' Said dizzy. And Raghav looked thoughtful.
" Send help and supplies to the people in Maldives and help them in all ways, and make a small blog in paper and news about the state of affairs of the Maldives, and told them raise funds for the area, and donate our one month income in that charity, and send the money to the source directly, I'm gonna talk to the prime minister about it, and that meteor explosion, cover all the destruction caused by it. I estimate it'll be near some millions, look for yourself and get me a report by the end of this week. " And dizzy looked at him a little weirdly.
" But sir, it'll be quite a sum. '' Said dizzy.
" I buy cars for no reason, if it's gonna affect the company, sell two of my cars , it'll be good enough for all things. "said Raghav, drinking the wine.
" Ok! " Dizzy said.
" And do one more thing, book a flight, in the opening of ram mandir, I'm taking everyone in the office there, for free. And informed the news crew that we are gonna set temporary studios there, every single one of our men will be there. Informed supriya about this change, it's a month later we will have plenty of time. And also called the manager of my hotel there. We sat at our base there, and told them to not to take any customers and that time period, we'll occupy that building by ourselves, and get the needed file and documents ready. Raghav said, dizzy .
She nodded to his command and took a sip of her drink.
" We're gonna need some new staff for that ordeal. " Said dizzy.
" I'll interview them. "said raghav. And they finish their meal. And when raghav came out of the washroom after washing his hand , he saw dizzy picking the plates, which he after seeing went to help her. And she tries to deny it but Raghav insists on helping, and in the end they decide to help each other. Raghav took his own plate and the wine bottle, and they were chattering like a normal couple, and they were going to the side of the wash area. And someone from a far corner sees that.
" Hay jay see. " Said Jiya to his twin sister. And they both looked at the direction she was pointing.
" Isn't it the boss and his secretary? What are they doing with those plates and wine bottles?" Said Jay to the people around them. And a murmur starts to rise about the scene. Jut jiya was looking at them glaring obviously.
The office started, and Jiya in her little revealing clothes was a hand accersize device in her hand. She was looking at a particular news plate in an online news form. And that was about his topic of his thought. Raghav and her secretary are dizzy.
The blog that she was looking at was about the topic of Raghav and Daisy's relationship. And she didn't like it a bit. And when she was glaring a hole on the monitor screen.
" Miss jay, boss's order. Write an ad about the storm in the Maldives . It's about the charity, so ask for help. And the news writer hasn't come today, so write a paragraph also for help, the animation department will need that in a few hours, so do it quickly. " Said dizzy. And jay looked at her. And when she was leaving she stopped him. And asked her a question.
" Hay daisy, is anything happening between you and your boss. "Jay asked, asking the question that was buzzing in everyone's mind.
She denied the claims and told her that she and boss had nothing between them. We have nothing between us, Said dizzy in her defence looking uncomfortable .
" Then why does, boss talk about you with the prime minister of India? "asked Jiya, showing her the monitor she was looking at.
" Well you are more famous than a small seleb now. " Said Jiya.
" You are a little hot topic there. " Said another of the office members.
And soon murmurs start about her and the boss. And she didn't know what to reply, and the talks were going far, too far her liking , when they heard a shout.
" Enough. " Said the half enraged boss, raghav.
And everybody got silent.
" What's happening here? " Asked Raghav, looking at everyone. And no one replied.
" If anyone has anything to say about dizzy and me , say it right now, I'm listening . " And he folded his hand behind
" Go on. "said raghav. And no one replied.
" Nothing to say. I expected more from my patrien, I was planning to invite everyone to the opening of the Ram mandir, but seeing how you all are acting. I don't think you all will go there. This is not an office where you can just spread gossip around, it's a news station. Didn't anyone here know how gossip can become a mass problem? I expect better of you all. I'm disappointed. " Said Raghav looking at him.
" Daizy, ho back on your work, and Jiya, you better complete both tasks she gave, I'm personally gonna check those tasks, so do it properly. " Said Raghav, in an angry tone. And then he looked at dizzy.
" Miss daizy, invite the applicant today. And inform me if anyone else messes or talks mouth with you. Just inform me once, the applicant might get their jobs quickly. " Said raghav leaving a threat behind his word. He enters his office . And now the rumours have solid proof, but they could do nothing about it. And Jiya, looking at the situation, presses his hand accersizer, and almost breaks it, in anger, and an onyx colour appeared in her eyes.
Raghav was in an angry state right now, so to calm his mind, he looked at his door, and took out the book that it all started.
He opened the book and skipped the pages he had read, and reached a page where several paragraphs were written . He started reading it through, and the more he read, the clearer his head became. He now knew how things happen and what they have done with maya, the old sage will clear the kaal with his ancient art and yagya. And then he looked at the part of soma, which indicated why they need soma that much, and other things .
And while he was listening to all of this, in a far away land, the black suited guy from earlier, entered a subway side in America, he looked at his pocket watch, and then the people around him, they were normal humans, busy with their work and other stuff. His clothes can be justified as normal as others, but his skin colour and waking manners were quite different from others.
" Sometimes I wonder, why am I doing this? "
And he looked at a person in particular, who was wearing out of fashion clothes compared to others. The underground station was full with people, and the sudden arrival of the bus made that subway even more crowded. But the man in black clothing kept on looking at the oddly dressed man. He looked at his watch, and then at the oddly dressed man, who looked very sad, and nervous for some reason.
And then with a shout of,
" ALLAH HU AKBAR. " the pulled a wire from his chest coat. And the entire subway shook in an explosion, black clouds and dust got released from the entrance of that subway. Making every citizen cover themselves in fear.
And all around the street went into a deafening uproar.
And the man in the black clothes was still standing at the same place as before. He wasn't faced by that bomb at all. He didn't even budge a bit from his place, and didn't even look around. He knows all of them were just dead bodies, and that's the reason why he came here in the first place.
He kept looking at the place where the bomber man was standing a moment before, where now a burning crater was formed . He looked at the burning crater for some time and then a cloud of black smoke and ash started to rise from that same spot, and from the dead bodies of other that same black smoke was rising, and mixed with little sparks and fire, it took the form of a human, and two black hollow eyes emerged from the dust, and took the form of a man. And the man was dressed a black clothes hanging loose on his body with a long beard and short cut hair with a Middle Eastern look and black hollow eyes.
" Emit. " Said the now fully formed man.
" Mrityu. " Said the man now known as emit.
" May I know the reason, why the venturer of time has graced me with his presence. "
" Always the on point. Well, I came here to inform you of something. "
" And what that might me, that you came in time for my work. "
" Well, first , maya your dear sister got captured, and a new Maharakshak has emerged from the ground, and he has somehow got the power of him. "
" Oh! " Said the man.
" That's why you were needed. '' Said the emerging man.
" Well that's sad news, but I didn't see why you came here? " Asked the man again. And immediately replied.
" Plans has changed, and I have a plain. " Said the man in black.
" I'm listening. " Mrityu replied.
And in the city , raghav was on top of his building, looking for the dawning sun in front of him. And the colour orange was covering his entire body.
" Ever wonder why the sky turns orange when it's dawn or sunrise? " Asked the old man.
" It's a reminder that the person who brings light, can also bring darkness . '' And the old man got silent for a moment.
" Who told you that? " Asked the old sage in curiosity.
" No one. I made it up . "
" You are a smart guy Raghav. Always remember this line raghav. People are not bad nor good, they are doing what they are doing, because they are thinking it's right. "
" The reason for war. '' Raghav said matter of factly.
" Can you describe the word war for me? " Asked the old sage in his mind.
And Raghav looked thoughtful.
" A war is a battle which has no Victor and no losser. Only widows and orphans. And only one who profit from it, was one not partaking in it." And he didn't say anything.
" What is Victor? "
" A person who still has something left to fight with. "
" And what's the loser? "
" Who has nothing left to fight with. "
" What's a widow? "
" The cost of war. "
" What is an orphan? "
" Result of war.
" And what's the result? "
" Ashes. "
" Ashes of what? "
" Of burning . "
" What is burning? "
" The world. "
" Which world? "
" The world they dreamed of. "
" Who dreamed them? "
" Who started the war "
" And who started the war? "
" The people with greed. "
" Greed of what? "
" Power, revenge and women. "
" What is a power? "
" A medium. "
" What is a revenge? "
" A Poison. "
" And woman?."
" Material. "
" What is a medium? "
" A source of all . "
" What's a poison? "
" Anxiety and depression. "
" What is a material? "
" A drug. "
" What's the source? "
" Envy . "
" What's anxiety and depression. ? "
" Loneliness. "
" What's a drug? "
" Cure for loneliness. "
" So what's the reason for envy? "
" Unbalance "
" Of what? "
" Emotions. "And the question stops. And Raghav looked in front of him.
" What's the reason for war? "
" Emotion. "
" What's the reason for defeat? "
" Emotion. "
" What's the reason for winning ?"
" Emotion. "
" So remember, control your emotions, and let your heart and mind do the rest of the work. '' Said the old man wisely. "
" I'll remember that. '' Said Raghav.
" You better will . " Was the reply from the old sage.
" Well, it looks like the job calls, " Raghav said, sensing an odd signal.
And after that for a few weeks, raghav kept on saving the soma reserve from the kaal and their chaya-ratri . He fought them all over the globe and all over the place, they were hundreds in number and they kept on coming, Raghav was getting fluent in his control and power usage. Using matsya, which he called Mat and kurama, which he called kurama for some obvious reason, helped him in many ways. The fish avatar of Lord Vishnu has the most useful abilities according to him, he can sense people from far away, can swim and breathe in all water possible, and he has the ability to mark someone , and see what they are doing and track them down. His second and really strong tortoise avatar gave him heavy durability and some short shield-like abilities. He can fly much faster than before and he can lift any amount of weight very easily. He was just imagining what kind of power he will have if he unlocks all ten avatars. Maya was in a sort of prison where her human form will slowly gona dissolve into nothingness, and she will form herself back in a new form somewhere else. And aside from his super life, his professional life was going way better than he thought. The storm of the Maldives, which was considered the one of the most dangerous storms of this century, has been dealt with without much casualties. Many thanked the government and the prime minister for early help, and many thanked the invisible wind that helped the people there. People were talking about some invisible force that happens to them in the time of need and saves them from their early demise . Many claimed it's the miracle of God and many just a gust of wind . And both comments didn't affect our resident Maharakshak. He was ok with it, he didn't care for the popularity. And if we are talking about his popularity, it went nil to millions in a very short amount of time. His blog and add about the destruction in Maldives and his personal help, helped many people in need , and many were looking at him in a new light now. His help and way of dealing things made him popular, and then his help for the destruction caused by the meteor gave him some brownie points from the local papules. And the confrontation of dizzy in the office changed quite a bit, but a small treat and a whisky bottle make setteel things simple. The candidate for new news and paper was coming in at a fast rate, he didn't know that many people wanted to work under him, but he has yet to hire someone. And the person who just entered his office might have the chance to be the first one.
" So who are you? " Asked Raghav looking at the girl in front of him, who was a youngster in all mind, around twenty or twenty five fair skinned women with long curly hair, a five six height and a cute smile. In all manners, a college girl.
" My name is Sakshi mehra. And I'm a student in Mumbai nationals, and I'm looking for a job experience under your firm, and if it's possible under you. "
" Why me? " Asked Raghav with a smile, and beside him dizzy was scribbling some notes.
" There are so many famous news outlets, and seeing your personality, and reasons I'll bet they'll be all ears for you."
" I know but I'm a free spirit, and I don't wanna be controlled by an old man, who doesn't know how to talk to younger people . "
" Fair point. You are sharp, and I need sharp people. I see you have an interest in crime photography. It's a risky job. " Said Raghav to the girl .
" I can handle risk. And they didn't know who my brother is."
" Is he a superhero? " Asked raghav jobualy.. And they all laughed. Man doesn't know how true he was.
" Well whatever, in this profession, you need to be always ready for anything, and always ready your guard for anything, it's really dangerous, and I don't want any of my people to get hurt or worse." Raghav said, looking serious.
" I know the danger, and I can handle it for the truth. '' Said Sakshi looking determined.
And looked at her.
" Your charisma and confidence is very high, I love to have someone like you under my wing, but why crime photography? You can be a populer anchor for our show. " Said Raghav suggested an alternative. And the girl. In Front of him looked a little serious.
" I know, but I want to be a crime photographer, and help people. I can do anything for this job." She said in a serious tone.
" Anything? " Raghav raised an eyebrow.
" Yes. " She replied.
" So you can do anything for this. " And a smile appeared on his face . And dizzy looked at his smile, and sighs.
" Yes, anything. " She replied.
" So it's my place or your place? raghav asked, looking at her with a curve smile.
" Excuse me? " She replied, understanding the hidden meaning.
" You said you can do anything, and you know without any help you can't go much higher. " He said with that same smile. And she looked at him in a way that said are you serious.
" Are you implying what I think you are implying? " She asked, still sitting on the chair.
" Maybe maybe not, you are one who came here from the door and me and - " His word died down when he heard a recording of his voice, coming from the recording device that the girl sakshi was holding . And it was repeating his sly words. She stopped the tape and looked at him .
" I heard many of your rumours, Mr Raghav, so I came prepared. " She showed her the small recorder.
" Now what do you have to say?" And Raghav in response, grinned at her.
" Now that's the kind of person I want, you are perfect for our firm , young and brave." He said with a beaming smile.
" So it was a test. " She said with a surprised smile.
" Puff! Off course it was. what do you think, I'm not that kind of guy."
" You are definitely my boss, it'll be an honour working with you. I couldn't even see behind your tricks, it'll be really gonna be an experience of a lifetime sir I'm really glad. So can I assume that my job is fixed? "
" It is, come tomorrow and I'll give you your ID and other stuff. And expect a bright relationship in future. " Said Raghav shaking her hand.
" And delete that audio, it can be troublesome." And after a little more talk she lifted, and raghav and kept on that smile, and dizzy asked him a question.
" It was a test right? "
" What do you think? Raghav asked for her assistance.
" Keep thinking . " She replied planly.
" You are right. " He said with that same smile.
" She is too young. "
" What jealousy ? I'm twenty eight. It can work. And how long do you think I'm gonna keep being single. I need to settle down somewhere. And she is cute. Imagine me handsome and rich and cute and dangerous. What a couple. And I always like the queen type of girl."said Raghav looking at her.
" She is gonna go far. " Said Raghav, and then his inner voice called him
