Chapter 8 - knowledge is also a curse.

And in the ambulance. There were three people, the patient, who was supriya, the doctor who was supriya's cameraman, and third person the prisoner Krishna. And she was bored a hole in his head by her stair. And her doctor, who was her cameraman, was treating her wounds. A thin layer of ice was in the situation, and Krishna's looking down was melting it quickly. 

 

 " Are you an alien?" Was her first question . 

 " No." Immediately replied. 

" A science experiment?" She asked.

" No! What are you talking about? " 

 " Don't bullshit me, I'm a news reporter, who do you think you are hiding with that mask?" She said looking dead serious. 

 " I don't know what you are talking about." He said again. 

" I wasn't there." 

 " Oh really! Then where are your shoes, and it's just a coincidence that you and krish both didn't have shoes and they both have the same hairstyle and clothes." And he didn't reply. 

 " Anyone with two brain cells can identify who you are if they look at you. This isn't a fictional world Krishna. And what with that name, Krrish and Krishna. Genius name to hide right." And he looked at the camera man. 

" Don't worry, he'll die before he says anything to you, so continue. He is my shadow." 

 " I wasn't trying to be a hero?" He replied. 

 " Then why did you wear a superhero mask and a matching costume? You can wear a paper bag with holes and be free from that shit. But know you have to wear a freaking superhero mask. And have to save me in the end. Not in the middle and not the stars, but the last. Did you leave me behind with a purpose? " 

 " No! I wasn't planning to be a hero or whatever. I just wanted to save people. I just wanted to hide myself." 

 " Congratulations you succeeded. And she clapped her hand sarcastically." 

" You know what you have done." And he didn't reply. 

" Are you a science project?" She asked again. 

" Maybe." He replied. 

" Did my sister do this to you?" 

" No! She didn't." And he lowered his head. 

" My dad." 

" He experimented on you?" She asked. 

" I don't know." He replied. 

" Who is your father? "

" Rohit mehera." 

" That famous scientist?" She asked. 

 And he nodded. 

" How can you do all that? You jumped higher than a small building holding me, dashed fifty meters in less than one second, and didn't get burnt a bit by that hell storm. How?" She asked. 

And he honestly replied. 

" I don't know." He replied. 

 " Don't you think you should ask your father questions about you, what did you do? What sick experiment he did on you? Were you born with this?" She asked. 

" Yes!" He replied. And they got silent. 

" Where are you leaving?" She asked. 

 And down there in the carnival, Priya was holding an ice bag on her head, for an injury or the headache she didn't know. and Sakshi was behind her, leaning her back to back. Watching the clip of krrish. And she was hearing in a loud voice again. 

 " Can you just lower the volume a bit?" She yelled at her. 

" Come on doc, I'm seeing the first superhero of the world. He got his name as well. Krrish." She said his name with little weight . 

" Idiot." 

" Me or my brother?" 

" Both of you." And then the video played the part where her sister was rescued, and she even got pissed . 

" Why? She asked her. And then she got a phone call. And it was her boss. 

" Did you see that?" 

" We were here when it happened." Said Priya. 

" Do you have any idea how detrimental his identity and powers are? You know right what will happen if his power goes out?" 

" Yes sir!" She said, 

" Make sure his identity is kept secret, and where is he?" asked Rohit . 

" She is with her sister." Said Sakshi from behind, and Priya got a done look. 

" Supriya?" He asked. And she replied yes, anger clear on her face. 

 " Is it safe to assume she knows who he was, knowing she is your sister. " 

" I think so. "

" The way she dragged him to the ambulance, I'll think the same. '

 And Priya hits her head with her own. And she cries in pain. 

" Do you call or message him?" 

" He is out of battery." Said priya .

" Call your sister, and try to reason. And if he or she argues, tell him that I have answers they need. And tell her that, if she didn't bring him, she didn't need to . " And he hangs up. And she got quiet, he understood what he meant. 

" Happy sister reunion to you." And she strangled her between her hands. 

 And down there with Rohit. He was looking at the picture of krrish, and more specifically his mask. 

 And up there with Krishna. He enters an expansive looking house. And he looked around at the enormous and beautiful house. 

" My home. I live here alone, and if you need anything call me, charge your phone, you can take the guest room off the corner. I'll order some food." She said to him. 

" Do you eat normal food or anything special? She asked him, thinking he might need some extra things. 

" No, a normal meal will be good. I eat as a normal human." 

 And she nodded and went to her room, you can watch TV while I change. She said to him, And he played the TV there. 

 He looked at the tv, which was showing the news of tonight, and it was about him. And how he saved everyone by himself. And they were exaggerating things. 

 " I didn't save everyone, the police saved most of them, I just helped the people in need." He said and supriya heard that, and replied. 

 " It's media Krishna, they usually focus on hot topics, which is you. You are the first super human to walk on earth." 

" Mahamanav." He replied.

" What?" She asked. 

" Mahamanav. I read some books which explain those. In ancient times. There were people like me, strong with all different powers." 

" Really? How many there are? Do you know someone like you?" She asked in her shower, which was behind a blurred glass. 

" There are Mahamanav, Amanav, Devmanav, Manvar, vanar, mayakar, jalachar, nishachar, ubhaychar , vishachar. He replied in one breath." 

" Wh-what. What are they, are they real." 

" I don't know, that's what I read. Your sister was reading and proves some of them existed once. And she had crossed a section where mahamanav was written. She thinks I'm Amanav." 

" What's the difference between Mahamanav and Amanav?" She asked.

" Amanav is one who was born with some sort of power. And Mahamanav is a person who got his power by some unknown factor. Or after birth." He replied. 

" And what other stuff are other people?" 

" Devmanav is the person who got his power by some short of Gods or by rituals, this contains people like pandavas and demigods. Manvar is not a person rather a type or people, half human and half animal. People believe that man from the skies built them. And then others are like his sub lines. Vanar you know about him, half monkey and half human. Jalachar, the people who live underwater, includes mermaids, atlanteans, and half fish and half human, created by Greek Gods and ocean tides. Nisachar, is a nocturnal kind which includes people who have abilities related to darkness or night, like vampires or werewolves or a person with dark powers." 

" Are those real?" She asked. 

" Don't know? This was written in her private diary." 

" You read her private diary? " 

" She told me that I can. And she writes quite a bit about you as well." 

" Like what?" 

" You don't wanna know." Was his reply. 

 " So what is mayakar? I can understand others a bit." 

" Magician and sorcerers. Who used maya, a form of power to do stuff." 

" Like Harry Potter." 

" I don't know what that means." 

" Forget it, keep on." She said while she was now changing her clothes. 

" Then we have ubhaychar, people who can leave both water and outside, it includes some hybrids and people who got water manipulation stuff. Then we have vishachar, it inclus birds like humans, dangerous and angry." 

" Ok. Nice theories, but what does it have to do with you?" She asked me to come out from the bathroom taking care of her hair. 

" They all were humans." Said Krishna. 

" Now they aren't?" She asked. 

" Am I human?" He asked. And looked at her. And by the looks of it, it was a serious question. 

" Yes you are, just because your father changed something in you, that doesn't mean you are not a human anymore." 

 And he picked the table with one hand. 

" I can throw this table directly to another part of the city, could any human do that?" He asked. 

" No! But a mahamanav can." She said, 

" They aren't even real?" 

" But you are." She said, and she held his hand which was holding the table.
