And next day in front of the UN building, Supriya was standing near a crowd of onlookers holding several signs and posters about Krish and about the incident of Basra and other stuff, and in the middle of all the curses and support, one posture in particular was very eye-catching. And that poster said three words, but it was very loud.
" Arya was right." Nothing more, nothing less. No matter how many posters were there, this sentence stood among all.
Supriya stood on the other side of the crowd, and she was reporting the news live, when she saw Dr Rohit Mehra entering the venue in his car. Many news outlets went to ask about things, Supriya stood there, capturing his figure from far. And soon, one by one many figures entered the UN court room, Supriya introduced several more figures, when a well known figure walked out from the car, and that UN judge committee chairman Richard Flare, and the scene which was once silent became noisy again. Richard, like others, entered the court room without answering anything, and Surpiya thought everyone who should be there was there, and she was about to change the topic when another luxury car entered the venue, and from that car, out came a man in a wheelchair.
Supriya recognized him, and then introduced him.
" Now the one entering the CEO and Founder of Carlton and Co medicine, one of the leading medicine brand companies in the world, famous for its development of artificial womb, human genetics and Research capabilities. Mr Charles Carlton. An audience may like to know, in the Basra incident one of the people that died was his younger brother, Reed Carlton, he was one of the soldiers who participated in the rescue, reports said he was the one who discovered the chemical bomb first. And in such a delicate time, the presence of such an important person is something we all should talk about."
And with Carl, he ignored the media and like others, slowly entered the building, two bodyguards following him.
" And now maybe the only person missing is the one who started this all, Krish. Would he come? That question remains open." She was about to say something when a passerby asked in a loud voice.
" Don't you know if he is gonna come or not?" Surpiya was in a little daze after hearing this question, but she soon got her composer back, and said lightly.
" Dear audience, you should take Fiction lightly, and not believe what's shown on TV too seriously, I only met him twice, nothing more. The thing we should worry about is, the matter in hand, and ask this question to ourselves. Are we worthy of judging someone like him?"
And far from here, in the Mountains of Nepal, Krish came out from his room standing near the window, when his Daadee who was walking passed the room saw him, she stopped and asked a question.
" Aren't you worried someone might see you in this?" And krish who was about to move stopped.
" Ahh, I hide my figure, it's like I become a part of the background, only working when no one is paying attention." and after hearing this Daadee seems to realize something.
" So that's how you are always able to run out early in the morning." And krish pretended he didn't hear her.
" And where are you going, and where's Priya?" and replied.
"Priya went to make a phone call, and I'm going to Iraq, there is some work left."
" Ohh! I thought, you were going to the UN?"
" UN?" He asked, a little confused.
" Is there a problem there ?"
" No, it's about your case, you and Dr Arya, there was big fuzz about it." And Krish looked confused.
" Didn't dad say he'll take care of it?" and Daadee looked at him puzzled.
" Don't you watch the news, everyone is cursing you for not being responsible, they want to hear your answer."
" Answer of what?" he asked, confused.
" Answer about everything, what happened between you and Arya, the Basra Incident, your powers."
" Don't they know everything, didn't dad tell them I'm detailed?" And Daadee looked at his stupid grandson with worry.
" When did you last watch the news seriously , full news, not a clip ?" And he seemed to say something then stopped.
" Ahh, never I guess." he said awkwardly.
" How far are you from these worldly things? And did you eat the breakfast, yeah that's why I came here in the first place, come eat, this heroism later." And she left, inviting him all the way. And Krishna who was about to go away stopped, and removed his mask, and headed down obediently.
And in the UN Hall of justice, all the bigwigs, all the politicians and news reporters sat there silent, waiting for the person of Interest to arrive, they even laid a red carpet leading to the witness box in the middle. The whole Hall was awkwardly quiet, Richard was looking at his watch, Carl was watching everyone's reaction, and he himself was a little surprised. Supriya was in the back where the news reporters were, looking at the situation. Everyone was waiting, and everyone was tense, maybe the only person who wasn't tense or not even waiting was Rohit, he was scrolling on his phone, unaware or maybe not carrying about the situation outside.
And seeing how everyone was getting addjetted, Richard Flare took matters in his own hand. He tapped the mic, getting the attention of everyone, and after doing so he said in a calm voice.
" There is still five minutes left until the agreed time. I hope everyone can understand how delicate the situation is here, maybe this committee can wait a little further." and his eyes subconsciously landed on Carl who was sitting in the audience seat. Carl looked at him, their eyes met for a moment, and then separated. Richard said something to the person behind him, and Carl who looked disinterested before looked in a certain direction, and his eyes landed on a figure sitting in the front, it was Rohit. And like Rohit felt someone watching him, he turned, and Rohit saw Carl looking at him from the seats behind, Carl gave him a friendly smile, but Rohit ignored him, focused back on his phone. And Carl who was ignored wasn't angry, instead he showed a thoughtful look, which turned into a smile.
" Looks like I need to visit Mumbai sooner than I thought."
And far away, Krish was flying in the sky, when he got a phone call.
" You actually didn't go to the UN, are you serious?"
" Why does everyone want to see me at the UN? Will anything change if I go there?"
" No but damn! Forget it, where are you going?" Said sakshi putting other questions aside.
" Iraq, is there still something that I haven't found?"
" The savior?"
" The what, again?"
" The savior, people on the Internet are calling him that, someone translated the word written on his chest, it read Savior in Arabic?"
" Arabic, shouldn't it be Urdu?"
" forget that, that's not important, people are literally calling you names, demanding what happened, who was that guy? And a lot of other stuff, someone is definitely making trouble behind, I'm sure of that."
" I don't know who he was?"
" You know that, people don't, and that's why we need a PR team, and that's the reason people are calling you to the UN, if you had a good PR team, you wouldn't have this problem." And Krish didn't reply, instead focusing on his flight.
" Anyways, why are you going to Iraq again? Didn't you clean all the sand there, is it for the savior?"
" Yes, that's half the reason."
" What's the other half?" Asked Sakshi. And Krishna was silent for a moment, and then replied.
" Just wanted to know why they did it." and after hearing this, Sakshi said in a blunt manner.
" Are you stupid? On this earth, women and terrorists are the only kind that no man has ever understood properly, stop wasting your time there, and go to the UN just listen to their talk like dad did, listen from one ear, and throw out from that same ear. And even after this you still want to know the answer, it will be something similar to– you offended my god or believe something." And after hearing this, he still said,
" I have to try atleast." and Sakshi sighs.
" Go and get disappointed then." And she hung up the phone.
