Ishant: [In his mind] Huh, this world is too good. Everything has changed and become easier, but the one thing that hasn't is humans. They are getting worse and worse. I have only ever had one dream — to be the strongest and teach the bullies a lesson.
Ishant: (He washes his face and goes out.) And today, I had another fight. I don't know how many opponents there are, but I am all alone.
>>Scene Shift<<
Scenario: Outside on the roadside, Ishant is standing alone in front of ten guys. An unknown person is sitting down on the footpath and witnessing that silently from far away.
1st Guy: Hey, you came, huh? I'm ready to beat the shit out of you.
Ishant: Start quickly.
1st Guy: (Gets excited and hits Ishant.)
Ishant: (Blocks his attack. The other guys rush in.)
Aarush: (Sitting on the roadside.) Hey, listen, you guys! Stop behaving like you don't have balls. Go one by one against him; otherwise, it won't be good for you.
1st Guy: What will you do if we don't?
Aarush: So if that's how it is, then I'm on his side.
1st Guy: Okay, it's your wish to get beaten up with him. We have no problem.
Aarush: Well. (Enters and knocks out the first one. The other guys rush in; he knocks out another one.)
Aarush: Hey, boy, what the hell are you waiting for, standing there? Come and help me!
Ishant: (Charges up and knocks out five guys alone. Aarush is also done with his side.) Thanks, boy, but why did you help me?
Aarush: I did what I wanted. You are helped now; just leave.
Ishant: You did what you wanted, hmm? And now I'm doing what I wanna do. Give me an answer.
Aarush: Man, helping even a helpless person is a headache. Hey, boy, do one thing — just get beaten up by them. I'm going. (Starts walking away.)
Ishant: (Puts a hand on his shoulder.) But you seem even more helpless and have suffered more.
Aarush: Yes, I am. So what will you do? Will you help me?
Ishant: (Starts walking with him.) Yeah, I will. And I even know your problem. You were sitting on the road without any shame, so you are homeless, right?
Aarush: Yes, I am. So what are you meant to do about it? Just go away; otherwise, I'll kick your ass too.
Ishant: I will help you.
Aarush: Huh, stop it, man. It's easy to say. In reality, you will just put one more burden, like me, on your parents.
Ishant: I promise I will give you a home. (A bit shy.)
Aarush: (Stops walking.) Will you really do this without expecting anything in return or any other motive? Or are you planning something scary?
Ishant: (Red-faced.) Just please trust me.
Aarush: If that's it, then I have no problem being your younger bro. But if I feel something strange, then I will run, understand? (Gives a bright smile.)
Ishant: Let's go home. (Starts walking home with Aarush.)
>>Scene Shift<<
Aarush: Oh, that's your flat? It is cool from the outside, but from the inside, it's way too old-fashioned.
Ishant: (Looks at Aarush suspiciously.) Come to the room.
Aarush: Well, didn't your parents tell you how to treat someone who comes to your home? Maybe at least they told you to ask them if they want water?
Ishant: (Gives a water bottle to Aarush.) Take it. I just went to get this. And didn't your parents tell you how to behave when you are at someone's home?
Aarush: (Starts laughing madly.)
Aarush: Well, how will you convince your parents about me? Maybe they will see me as a problem.
Ishant: It's hard, but in the end, they will accept it.
Aarush: I don't want you all to see me as a burden, so I also have to do something. I will help you and your family with everyday chores.
Ishant: Maybe.
Aarush: What about introductions?
Ishant: Hm? Myself, Ishant. I am almost 14, born on 31/07/2005, studying in class 9. And you?
Aarush: Myself, Aarush. I am 9, born on 31/03/2010, uneducated and homeless.
(AND THIS EPISODE ENDS HERE. SINCE THE DAY THEY MET; IT WAS GOOD FOR THEM, BUT NOT FOR THE WORLD.)
