Chapter 3: Shock

It was a bright morning and the rays of light went through the window and directly hit Raghav's eyes, as soon as the light hit Raghav's eyes, he started to cover his face with the bedsheet, after some time Raghav broke out of his sleep and checked the time in his smart bracelet.

As soon as Raghav saw the time he quickly got out of his bed and went to the bathroom to brush his teeth! As he was brushing his teeth he saw his sister at the corner of his eye, he soon finished brushing his teeth and looked at his sister and was about to apologize for what he had said the day before but before he could've said anything his sister smiled and said 'You don't need to apologize! Anyway today is the big day, isn't it?' Raghav smiled at his sister and said 'You're right!' Vinnie looked at her brother and said 'I never thought that I would get a sister in law as good as Naina!' Raghav smiled and said 'Well you will! So get ready!' Vinnie looked at Raghav's appearance and said 'Not like this!! If you look like this and propose to her even a dog will reject you! Let me help you.' Vinnie grabbed Raghav by his shoulders and made him sit on a chair and she then made a pair of scissors from her powers, Raghav looked at it and got shocked, he asked 'How did you do that?! I thought you could only make artillery!' Vinnie looked at her brother and said 'You idiot! My power is to make weapons!' Raghav listened to her and said 'Really?! Then why do they call you the 'Gun Goddess'?!' Vinnie replied 'That's because I mostly only make guns with my power since they are more powerful and can also be compact.' Raghav replied 'I see!' Vinnie listened to Raghav and started to cut his hair, as she was cutting Raghav's hair Raghav started to think 'After the 'Nova effect' most of the teenagers on Earth just like myself had lost their parents since they were taken by those Alien creatures but luckily I found my cousin sister and was able to live with her. I am grateful to her and her late husband. I owe a lot to them.' after some time had past Raghav's haircut was completed and Vinnie said 'I am all done!' as Raghav heard her he said 'I hope you didn't ruin my hair.' Vinnie looked at Raghav and said 'Stop spouting nonsense. I've given you a great hairstyle. If you don't believe me then look at the mirror!' Raghav looked at the mirror and he was impressed and said 'Hey sis this is not half bad! Why don't you start a hair salon and close this weapons shop!' Vinnie heard what Raghav said and replied 'Stop speaking nonsense! Now go and shave!' Raghav smiled and said 'Yeah!!', he went to the bathroom and shave off his beard. Raghav went inside his room and after some time he came out of his room and was dressed in a black suit, he looked at his sister and asked 'So how do I look?' Vinnie looked at Raghav and said 'You look good! I mean better than you did before.' Raghav got a bit disheartened by her comment and said 'I will take that as a compliment!' After he said that, Raghav was about to leave from the shop's front door but before he could his sister stopped him and said 'All the best!' Raghav smiled at his sister and said 'Don't worry about it!' as he said that he left out the front door. When Raghav had left the shop his sister thought 'I hope he could have a good life.' as she thought that she looked at the picture of Rudraksha and hugged it. When Raghav reached outside he looked as if he was waiting for someone. As he was waiting he saw a young man dressed in a black coat and jeans, coming towards him on a levitating scooter which was black with silver linings. The man on the bike stopped the scooter in front of Raghav and said 'Wassup bro!! So today's the day, huh?!' Raghav looked at the young man and said 'Yes today's the day!!' that young looked at Raghav and said 'Oh man! I knew you and Naina were meant to be. I am so damn excited!!' Raghav looked at the young man with piercing eyes and said 'That's fine Akshay but, where is my bike and why are you on a scooter!!' Akshay got a bit scared and said 'Well... you see... the mechanic who I gave your bike to fix made a mistake and kinda broke down your bike's engine.' Raghav got shocked and said 'What?!' Akshay tried to calm Raghav down and said 'Don't worry man! He said that he will fix the bike in a week and won't even charge us. So if you want, you can do the proposal a week later.' Raghav looked at Akshay with extreme anger and said 'I can't because today was the day I proposed to her. It has been 6 years!' when Akshay heard Raghav talking he said 'Oh yeah! That time you were 16!' Raghav looked at Akshay and said 'Since you know that then how could you...' Akshay tried to calm down Raghav and said 'Sorry man! I did not do it on purpose. Let's just go now!' when Akshay said that he had a nervous smile on his and when Raghav looked at his face and said 'Fine! Let's go!' Raghav sat behind Akshay's scooter and Akshay drove the scooter at full speed dodging all the pods (cars) on the road, after some time they had reached their destination and the scooter came to an abrupt stop! As soon as Akshay stopped the scooter he smiled and said 'We are here! The place where your love lives and the place where you will ask her for her hand in marriage! This place will be a very important memory for you in the future!' Raghav looked at Akshay with piercing eyes and said 'You fucking idiot! Just because you have Aerokinesis (power to control wind) doesn't mean you have to drive so fast that the wind quite literally slaps you on the face!'.

Akshay tried to calm Raghav down and said 'Sorry man! I was just excited and even you know that I can only form a bit of wind and nothing more than that!' Raghav looked at Akshay and said 'I know!' Akshay looked at Raghav and said 'Hey by the way did your sister get the invitation to go to Midgard?' Raghav listened to Akshay and said 'Yeah she did! I mean she is an Advanced level Materializer(person able to create objects or elements), but I don't think she will be accepting the invitation any time soon.' Akshay listened to Raghav and said 'I see! Even though I am a Materializer I am nowhere near as strong as her.' Raghav listened to Akshay and sulked a bit and said 'At least you guys have an S-root.' when Akshay heard Raghav he changed the topic and said 'Come on man, go now! It's your day! Go and get her!' Raghav listened to Akshay and enters Naina's complex, he entered her block and went to her floor, as he reached her floor he went towards her door and rang the bell. As he rang the bell he thought 'Naina was one of the only people who always supported me even now when I have no power that's why I will make sure that I become so rich that I can take her to Midgard, even though I don't have any power there is one more way by which I can go to Midgard and that is money!' Raghav was nervous and excited at the time, he had a box that had a ring in it and was ready to propose to the love of his life. As he saw the door opening all his hopes and dreams were crushed. He saw that a shirtless man with black hair had opened the door and was looking at him. The shirtless man asked 'Who are you?!'.
