Chapter 3 - 2–The Tour and Amber’s Raaga

Sharadvitha's POV

Me and Karthika were given Kriday's room to use until tomorrow as we would be heading back to my parents.

We walked in expecting it to look like an exploded Suitcase but it was rather tidy except for a desk which had scattered chemicals in glass bottles, he is definitely obsessed with chemistry.

Looking around the room, he is quite of a nerd, a handsome one.

It was simple yet cozy room. I spotted a small bookshelf. I was thrilled as I noticed the books in that shelf, they all are a solid 10/10.

"Karthika," I called out to her as I tapped her shoulder frantically as I was over the moon. "Look, at the books." I pointed to it.

For your information, I am an book worm.

"Wow, that guy is a total nerd." She sighed face palming herself. 

"Yea, but he is cool." I replied, floating in cloud 9, smiling like an idiot. 

This guy ate and left no crumbs, I'm impressed.

As soon as I woke up, Kriday asked me whether I want to see his laboratory as his friend, a dude called Indeever wants some of the chemicals with him and Kriday wanted to keep the chemicals in his room in the laboratory.

"Yes!" I replied with my eyes lit up. I want to see him in work.

After a quick rest, Kriday took me to his

"It's bright in here," I stated covering my eyes with my hand as we start walking to his laboratory , which is in a shed the garden of their community.

His hands are full from the bags of Chemicals. 

"I can carry some?"I asked him, taking a bag from him.

"No need, I am fine." He replied confused and he tried tussle the bag I was holding but I didn't let him take it.

We reached the shed aka the laboratory where a guy in a blue sweater and black jorts, scrolling in his phone leaning on to a bike was waiting for us. 

"Here are the chemicals." Kriday hands over the chemicals and so did I. That guy looked confused seeing me.

"Umm, Kriday—" he started, "Is she your girlfriend?" He points at me and gives use a knowing look and smirks.

Kriday's POV

As soon as Indeever said it, I backtracked started as I remembered that she is Rudyash's sister. 

She looks confused by his comment.

"No," I whispered, "She is Sharadvitha, Rudyash's younger sister."

Indeever's face underwent mannny emotions, Shock, acceptance, realisation of what he had said and fear in his eyes after remembering Rudyash's intimidation.

"Sorrrry sisterrrrrr~" he apologised to her bowing rapidly.

She forgave him,But his mouth won't shut up!!!!!

"Hi, I'm Indeever." He introduced himself.

"Nice to meet you."

"BTW, what major are you in and how old are you?" He asked her smiling like a damn idiot.

"Archeology, I will turn 21 in October." She paused , "What about you?"

"Analytical Chemistry, the same as his but I am his Junior and I am of he same age but I will turn 21 in December ."

Me

and Sharadvitha returned to my flat while Indeever was in the laboratory.

Ishaan's POV

We headed to roam around the city to fulfill Sharu akka's wish to see Hyderabad. This includes The Golconda fort, Charminar and of course— temples.

We had lunch the Golconda fort, it was finger licking delicious.

After that Rudyash Anna took us to a park to practice, it was deserted which was perfect.

Then I managed to spot some twigs on the ground. I smirked as I went to pick up the twigs."What are you doing Ish?" Asked Sharu akka raising a brow.

"You will see, Akka." I answered with a grin stretched across my face.

I found my targeeet~! Resting under a tree as Rudyash and Kriday set up some things for practice . I tip-toed grinning and placed the twigs in her monstrous curls, creating horns.

"Boooom!!!" I screamed in her ears, jolting her awake.

"Ishaaaaaannnnnn!" She barked, brows frowning "Don't you have manners!"

"I do, Karthika. You are the one who doesn't have the so called manners, just look at your hair, you freckled face." I showed her reflection in my phone camera.

Her face crumbled as she realised what had happened.

"You—"she shows her pretty claws and her cute yet funny angry face to threaten me.

"Catch me if you can, claws!" I leapt to the sky.

She followed me snd started a war, it continued till Rudyash called us down. Buttt, we didn't care~, so I got the harsh taste of his strength as he leapt into the sky to slap meee!!

He asked Karthika kindly and she did follow his words.

"Anna, it's not fair!" I complained to him.

He replied that it is fair as I don't listen to him. I mean it is kinda true?

Then we landed ,Karthika, Sharu akka and Krish were secretly laughing as Rudyash slapped me for annoying Karthika.

Then Rudyash started a boring story that goes like this:

"Kriday, your father was the fire element of this team, while your mom was the music manipulator and the telepath. She was also the descendent of Sri Krishna."

My jaw dropped to the ground, no to the Earth's core on hearing that, and the story continues;

"Aarudhra killed your parents in that fire, I will not go deep as it is something that hurts you"— blah,blah,blah.

Then he asks Kriday to hit the scarecrow with his powers and he did it brilliantly.

"Wait!"I whispered, "I remember hearing that Palak uncle and Mugdha auntie had taught Kriday to control and master his powers before they passed away. I think he doesn't remember it."

"You are right ,Ishaan." Replied Sharu. She heard me clearly even though it was under my breath. Then she gives me a smirk as her olive straight cut short kurti and jeans sparkles in the sky.

That is why he hit it perfectly on the first try.

"My guess is that he has music manipulation too." Added Karthika taking out the Kriday's flute from her bag. It was made with rosewood, it contrasted beautifully with Karthika's signature butter yellow flared kurti and it would create a good colour combo with Sharu akka's olive kurti.

She handed it to Kriday while the scarecrow is hit for the second time.

"How did you find it?" Asked Kriday.

"It was in your room" she replied. "Can u play it?"

"Now?" 

"Yes" she nodded.

As soon as Kriday played it, the fire adjusted itself to the pitch of the raaga he played.

Kriday looked confused as he puts the flute away from his mouth. The flute mixed in with his beige shirt and brown tailored pants.

"You have your mom's music manipulation too." Assured Karthika, "And your flute, is actually a weapon created by your mom."

Then she makes Kriday to swing it and it grew bigger and flames emerged from its ends.

This left Kriday in shock and we started heading to Kakinada to Mr and Mrs Varma's house, i.e, Rudyash and Sharadvitha's parents' house.
