ORDEAL

I have been bombarding him with too many questions. And he has been answering each and every question patiently with my favorite dimple smile adorning his face, as always.

“What happens once you take a human to your planet?”

“Once the Jo-Haanians take humans to Jo-Haan, they get married, and after they…”did he just blush? He cleared his throat. “After their blood mingles, the humans get certain powers too” he said. So that’s the reason for the flush.

“Impossible!” I said wide-eyed.

“The environmental circumstances plays a great role in it, our scientists explains it well”

“What do people do with all those powers?” I asked memorizing the way his cheeks colored up minutes ago.
