Struggle for Existence

INDIA

INDIAAfter they both came to India, the report was sent to PM’s office. Dr Faisula was invited to meet Indian prime minister Mr Ravinder Singh in Delhi Taj Palace.

‘It was a pleasure meeting you sir please have a seat’, Singh greeted him with more pleasure and respect. After some formalities, Singh asked Faisula about the reason for the arrival.

‘It’s been so long since I have visited INDIA, I just missed the culture of your country and the food, wah! My mouth is just watering if I am thinking about your food. I just missed it a lot.’

‘Oh, that is so nice to hear from you, please come sir let's have your favourite meal together, hope you will like it!’

I love it!

Please come!

(BOTH HAD DINNER TOGETHER IN TAJ)

‘So, what is the condition in Germany?’

Stephen and Faisula looked at each other, ‘Yeah, it is getting worse there the cases are increasing day by day.’ Trembled to make words.

‘Oh, I am sorry!’

‘It’s okay Ji, What about India?’

‘It is fine now, but I am worried about the future.’ Bending the head and in a worried tone. Dr. faisula promised him that he will make a successful vaccine for this and save India (BEFORE IT GETS WORSE) as these words showered from Faisula’s mouth, Singh was very happy and gave him a very happy nod and even gifted him a palace in Tamilnadu a state in INDIA. Faisula and Stephen thanked PM for the welcome party and left his house.

‘Don’t worry sir everything will be all right.’ (Stephen said before leaving).

(Travelling to Tamilnadu in his chartered flight)

‘Sir, so now what are we going to do?’ Stephen asked sitting on the front seat facing Faisula.

‘Did you know why PM Singh gave us that palace, why not any other?’

‘Yes, sir even I had that doubt that, why did he give us this one i.e very far from Delhi, why not any other in Delhi.’

‘Because last time when I visited India, I stayed in Tamilnadu, the people here are so polite and kind, they treat us like their own people. And the main intention is to give us this palace because we can do our research here without any disturbance.’

‘What? How sir? How it is even possible in a palace without any types of equipment?’

‘We have a lab in the basement, Stephen. That is why PM gave us this.’

‘Oh, wow that’s great sir!’

(REACHED THE PALACE, 2 WORKERS STAYED AT THE ENTRANCE AND WELCOMED THEM)

‘How is the palace, Stephen?’

‘It is great sir, such a royalty!’

‘Okay, I am so tired it's already 12:30, I am going to sleep, good night!’.

‘Good night sir!’

Both went to their respective rooms, but their room comforts didn’t make them forget that incident, they both had nightmares, those creepy creatures were running in their minds, and didn’t allow them to sleep. Morning at 9 the workers in the home came to work and started their works, at 10 Stephen woke up and went to the balcony and he was thinking about the nightmares he had.

‘What happened to me, why am I thinking of that creature, it is so weird, I just want to do something for it, as soon as possible we should find a solution for it’. He mumbled within himself and felt sorrow. later Faisula joined Stephen on the balcony, placing his hand on Stephen’s shoulders, and asked,

‘Did you get the same nightmare yesterday?’

‘Yes, sir! Even did you?’

‘Hmm, yes!’ his tone was very sad.

‘It is ruining my mind we have to do something, I am not able to control my emotions sir, many are losing their lives because of our mistake’. Stephen’s voice was very sad and worried.

‘Yes, even this makes me feel so bad, today immediately we can start our works, anyhow in India the corona cases are very less, so nothing to worry we can focus on the antivirus for the Zombies now’.

‘Okay, sir!’

‘Now let’s go fresh up and have breakfast, then we can start our work.’ Both freshened up and had their breakfast, then later went to their basement, it was so modern and it looked so nice for working comfortably, the glass door had a face lock security system and the whole lab was so new and advanced, that even the covers of the equipment were not opened yet, everything was so perfect. They both entered the lab, very next second the phone rang, Stephen picked it up.

‘Hello sir good morning it’s me Ravinder Singh’,

‘Hello sir good morning, Stephen speaking here’

‘So Stephen, how are the palace and the lab?’

‘It is just awesome sir, we are so comfortable and the work will get easy’.

‘Sounds good, can you give the phone to Dr Faisula?’

‘Yeah, sure!’

(STEPHEN GAVE THE PHONE TO FAISULA)

‘Hello, sir good morning.’

‘Hello, Dr Faisula how is the palace did I make your comfort easy?’

‘Yeah, it is so nice, sir thank you!’

‘Oh, it's my pleasure to see your comforts, you have come to India to save my people how will I neglect your comforts!’

‘Yeah, thank you!’

‘Okay Faisula, I don’t want to disturb you, I think you’re in the lab, better continue’.

‘No that’s fine sir, if you have anything important you may speak, please!’

‘No sir nothing important, just if you want any necessities, kindly contact the CM of Tamilnadu’.

‘Okay, sir that’s nice thank you once again.’

‘My pleasure sir!’

(HUNG UP THE CALL)

‘So, sir what to do now, how to start, and what to do?

‘Where is my case?’

‘It is in my room sir, yesterday you were so tired, so I took the case with me to my room.’

‘Okay bring it.’

‘Yeah, sir just a minute’

(STEPHEN GOES TO THE ROOM AND BRINGS THE BRIEFCASE)

‘Here it is sir!’

‘Yeah, give it to me’

(BEFORE OPENING THE CASE PUTS HIS GLOVES AND MASK)

Opens the case very carefully, and takes out a vial with green liquid in it.

‘Sir is that the same virus which caused this spread?’

‘Yes, Stephen with this only we are going to make the antivirus’

‘Okay, sir!’

Started their work on zombie antivirus. Meanwhile, the CM of Tamilnadu Mr MK Stalin visited Faisula and Stephen to welcome them and even appointed some extra workers for their convenience. After doing their works, both came out of the lab around 8 in the night, both were not happy with the outcome, so they were disappointed a little, then both freshened up and came back to have dinner,

‘Sir, will everything be okay?’ Stephen looked so scared and worried.

‘Stephen, this is the 1st attempt, we are not gods to make success in the 1st attempt, today we understood the reason for this cause, tomorrow we may find the solutions, so be confident, do you think I made all the vaccines on my 1st attempt?’ Faisula was furious at Stephen’s useless disappointment.

‘I am sorry sir!’ he felt guilty for his actions.

‘That’s okay, now go to your room take some rest!’ Faisula left the dining hall saying this.

Mr Mohan’s arrival:

Morning at 7, Stephen woke up and went to the gym section and made work out while Faisula joined him later. At 10 A.M both gathered in the hall, decided to go to the lab, but before stepping inside, the phone in the hall rang.

‘Hello, who is this?’ Stephen attended the call.

‘Hello, sir is this Maharaja Sivaji palace?’

‘Yeah, it is!’

‘Hello, sir I am Mohan from Hosur near to your palace, I am the correspondent of SRI GURUKULAM HIGHER SECONDARY SCHOOL’.

‘Okay, sir how can I help you.’

‘I received information that Dr MD Faisula sir have come to India, so could you please give me some time to talk with him.’

‘Sorry sir he is busy right now, whatever it is you can talk with me, I am his assistant Stephen.’

‘Oh, that’s great sir, but this must be discussed with him so, could you please arrange an appointment for me.’

‘Wait a minute!’

(Stephen to Faisula)

‘Sir, we have a person from Hosur somewhere near to this palace, he would like to meet you, what should I say?’

‘Okay, ask him to come tomorrow morning before 11 or today afternoon at 2:30.’

‘Okay, sir!’

‘Hello, Mr Mohan’

‘Yes sir, I am on the line’.

‘Faisula sir gave you an appointment, today at 2:30, if not tomorrow morning before 11, you can come within these timings.’

‘Wow that’s great sir, I will come today before 2:30, I am glad that he gave me his precious time.’

‘Okay!’

‘Thank you, sir, I will be at the palace on time.’

‘You’re welcome, that’s great!’

(BOTH GETS BACK TO THEIR WORK)

Afternoon at 2;00 Stephen and Dr Faisula came out to have lunch. At 2;10 there was a Black Benz Mercedes outside the gate.

‘I think Mr Mohan has come sir.’ Stephen said looking at the clock.

‘Yeah, let him come.’ Faisula said taking a sip of water.

After having lunch both sat on the cushion sofa and started to see the news in Germany from their mobiles. The watchman came inside and informed Faisula that there is a person to meet you. Faisula asked him to send him inside. After a few seconds, Mr Mohan came inside, he was looking so rich that he was wearing a black Emporio Armani suit, a Rolex watch on his wrist, Louis Vuitton Manhattan shoes, and especially he had a wide happy smile on his face.

‘Hello please welcome’ Faisula treated him very fortunate manner.

(Both Shook their hands)

‘Hello sir my name is Mohan, I am the person who called you in the morning.’ Mr Mohan sat on the opposite Sofa, facing Faisula.

‘Yeah, I know, Stephen informed me, so what’s the matter, sir, why you wanted to meet me?’

‘I run a school in the nearby locality, On February 21st we planned for an annual program so, could you please come as the chief guest for the program and guide the students.’ He gave the invitation card to Faisula.

‘Oh, if that so, I am sorry sir, I have many works here, actually I came to India to find a vaccine for the coronavirus, so if I delay my works, many will lose their lives in many countries, so kindly forgive me.’ he said very politely.

‘No sir please don’t talk like that, I am just a chairman of a school, you’re a great scientist who saved many lives before, sir actually for the school functions, many schools will bring a politician or a celebrity, but no school has to bring them as chief guests because they are not at all fit for such beautiful occasions of students, but if legends like you come as a chief guest it is the respect that we give to the education, we are calling you because you save the world from many deathly viruses and you deserve that place.’ Mr Mohan was so aggressive and proud describing Faisula.

‘Sir, it was so nice to hear those words from you, but how can I come with this much work on my head.’

‘Sir it's just a 1-night program, you could come in the afternoon at 12.30 and you can leave after the program ends.

‘Okay, sir, what is the day?’ taking the invitation from the table, he glanced at it.

‘On February 21st.’

‘Okay, I will manage my time for you!’ he smiled looking at Mr Mohan.

‘Thank you a lot sir, it is our school’s pleasure to have you as a guest. Sir, we will make every arrangement for you, at any cause we won’t disappoint you in your comforts.’

‘That sounds nice sir, thank you for calling me.’

‘It's our pleasure sir.’

(MR. MOHAN LEFT THE PALACE WITH A SMILE ON HIS FACE)

‘Sir are we going to the program?’

‘Yes, we have to, even we want some relaxation, the people around can give us more encouragement to do our work, to reduce our stress we can spend a day for it.’

‘Yes, sir, you’re right we want some refreshment, if we stay with people around us, it will give us some relaxation.’

‘That’s what I said!’ Faisula said smiling.

‘Yes, sir!’ He smiled in return.

(BOTH AFTER THE CONVERSATION WENT BACK TO THEIR WORKS, WITH SOME REFRESHMENTS)
