Chapter 4: Betrayal

As Raghav saw the shirtless person on the door he was thoroughly shocked. He checked the flat number and the nameplate just to be sure if he had made some sort of mistake and rang the bell of the wrong door. To his horror, he had rung the bell of the right door. Raghav tried to calm himself down by the thought 'Don't think something stupid Raghav! Maybe he is a relative of hers I mean Naina would never betray'.

As he thought of those words he heard a young girls voice that said 'Who is it, babe?'. When Raghav heard that voice, he was broken from inside as that voice belonged to Naina! Shortly after Raghav heard her voice, she appeared behind the shirtless man wearing a bathrobe! As she came near the front door Raghav was heartbroken by that sight. The shirtless man continued to interrogate Raghav by asking 'Hey! Who are you?!'. When Naina looked at Raghav her eyes widened and she told the shirtless man ' He is my ex-boyfriend David, his name is Raghav.'. When Raghav heard those words his whole body was filled with the shock of betrayal and he said 'What are you talking about Naina?! We just went out a week ago and you said that you loved me! Did you forget all about that?!' Naina looked at Raghav and gave him a disgusting look, as Raghav looked at Naina's face he thought 'What's with that look?! I gave my utmost for this relationship and you are giving me such a disgusting look?! Why?!'. As Naina looked at Raghav she said 'Don't say nonsense Raghav! How could I ever love someone like you?! A? person who doesn't even have an S-root!'. As Raghav heard her words everything inside Raghav's heart had started to die. He started to think 'What does she mean?! Does that mean a relationship that I cherished for the last 6 years was just an illusion?!'. When David heard what Naina had said he thought 'Does that mean this person is the 'Null root'. I had heard that the 'Null root' was very weak and worked as a luggage carrier for hunting teams who couldn't afford a spatial ring. So this is him! So pathetic a being like him should not even exist!'. Naina looked at David and said ' Let's leave this worthless worm alone and finish what we had started.'

When Raghav heard Naina's words he went towards her to ask her what was his mistake but then David saw him and with the help of his powers punched Raghav in the stomach. Due to the attack, Raghav had flown backwards and went through a wall and started to fall from the eighth floor to the ground. Akshay was drinking juice at a stall '20 UN (New currency after The Nova Effect, issued by the United Nations)?! For what?! For this juice that looks as if it has been extracted from a toilet?!' The man at the stall said 'Listen sir don't you dare to say anything about my hand made Juice! If you don't believe then ask anyone in this area who makes the best juice?! You will only hear one name 'Tony Juice Walla!' as Akshay heard the words of the stall owner he said 'Yeah! Whatever!!' then he used his smart bracelet to pay up the stall owner. Akshay looked at Naina's block and thought 'I wonder if she accepted his proposal already? I mean she will accept it. Maybe she's playing 'hard to get!' that's why it's taking so long for Raghav to come down with her.' As Akshay thought of the above words he and everybody around him heard a loud noise from Naina's block and saw a man falling from the 8th floor. When Akshay looked at the sight, he was shocked and realised that the person falling was his friend! As soon as he realised that he ran towards him at full speed and said 'Wind Bed!' as soon as Akshay said that a bed made out of the wind emerged and it prevented Raghav from falling at full speed. Akshay had visible trouble in maintaining this move but he persisted so that Raghav wouldn't fall on the ground at full speed.

Akshay was not able to hold the formation and the 'Wind bed' disappeared, Raghav started to free fall and was about to fall on the ground but Akshay caught him with all his strength. Akshay looked at Raghav coughing out blood in pain and asked 'Bro!! What the hell?! What happened?! Are you okay?!'. Everybody outside the complex started to look inside the complex and had started to murmur amongst themselves, one of them said 'What was that?!' the other person said 'That person had fallen from the 8th floor but it looked as if he was hit by someone?! another person said 'That person... I feel like I've seen him somewhere before...' as the people in the crowd were talking one of them said 'Look a man is flying and there is a woman with him too!'. When Akshay looked at the sight and he was shocked, as the woman with that flying man was Naina and she was kissing the flying man on the cheek, Akshay looked at Raghav and said 'Bro what's going on?!' as the flying man reached the ground and landed people started to recognize him. Raghav tried to get up on his feet and was barely able to do so due to the injury. People looked at David and said 'That's David Dsouza!' the other person said 'You're right! He's also called the 'Gravity Controller'!'.

When David Reached the ground he was wearing a black hoodie, he looked at Raghav with a sinister smile and said 'A worthless being like you, wants a Diamond in his hand?!' David formed a fist and used his power to increase the strength of his punch and threw it towards Raghav but Akshay came in front of Raghav and used his other move 'Wind Shield!' and a big shield made out of the wind appeared in front of David and David punched it but he was unable to break it but due to the punch Akshay's 'Wind Shield had severely weakened and Akshay thought 'Damn it! He used his power to increase the gravity of his punch! I don't think that the shield will hold up! He for sure is an 'Advanced level Manipulator(A person able to manipulate the natural law but is not able to materialize any elements of nature unlike the 'Materializers')'.
