Zephyr-3 on Venus

ANGARISHI

Shukra was moving slowly toward the beam. Bali immediately went running near him and tried to stop him. After 2-3 unsuccessful attempts, Bali came in front of Shukra and slapped him. The blow of slap was so impactful that Shukra lost his consciousness and fell on the ground. Bali became nervous and picked up Shukra on his shoulder. As he started moving towards the hut, there was pin-drop silence. Only the rustling of leaves was audible. With his little steps, Bali finally reached the hut. Everyone was asleep. Bali lays down Shukra on the bed and rushes to bring hand full of water. Sprinkled the water into Shukra’s face.  As soon as Shukra’s face came in contact with water, he slowly opened his eyes. Trying to guess the location. Shukra said, “is it raining??” 

“Yes, only for your face. ” said Bali and again sprinkled the remaining water on Shukra’s face. Shukra tried to mop excess water from the face and said:

“Bali, Stop joking.”  

“Okay, let me explain it. You were walking towards that beam of light. I tried to stop you but you didn’t. So, I was finally compelled to kick your a*s and you became unconscious. ” said Bali with a pseudo ego. As he got a chance to beat him.

“Oh, I see,  but why is my cheek in pain?”  asked Shukra. While he was continuously rubbing his cheek to soothe the pain. Bali lied down on his bed and said

“Yeh, that is the place where I hit you. ‘Kick your a*s’ is just a phrase.” 

“Anyways, what about that beam?”  asked Shukra.

“I don’t know. It went away as soon as I hit you.” even Bali was looking surprised about the sudden disappearance of light. 

“Let’s leave it. You were telling me about the competition.” Shukra tried to change the topic. Both of them again started looking at the husk of the hut. Everyone was sleeping except both of them. According to rules they must have slept till now but the excitement of the events that took place within the span of a few hours was not letting them sleep. Bali took a deep breath and decided to tell a complete story of the competitions.  

“What do you know about Angarishi and this Ashram?” asked Bali.

“Not much.” Shukra quickly replied. 

“Well, Angarishi was a very normal sage and he used to spend his day by depending on the begged food. He was happy with his life as he was following the core principle of being a sage. Living life with a minimalist approach. spending most of his time in the remembrance of god to get out of this cycle of life and become a part of the god but destiny had other plans for him.

One day while he was on his daily routine. He saw a man molesting one woman. He went near that man, asking him not to commit this sin. The other man pushed him away. Angarishi was very fragile and weak due to less intake of food. He was not able to save that poor lady from the culprits. It all happened in front of his eyes. He was completely dejected. Threw his begging bowl in a corner and thought about what he was doing?
