Chapter 17 :A team of Eight

Rahul was sitting under the neem tree.I went and placed my hand on his shoulder.He looked at me and asked me to sit with him.I sat beside him and said "what happened??you are looking unhappy since you have returned from river.Why did you went there???...I thought you went for fishing". Rahul started to explain me ".... when I woke,Diya told me that a governament vehicle has passed from our house towards the river.I followed it.My guess was correct.They were industrialists who came to set up an industry in our village near the river.The river is very pure with full of fishes, crabs, frogs and other forest animals who depend on this water to drink...but...!!!Hazel do you remember how the river turned lifeless when we travelled through time in 2050.This factory will become the reason for the contamination of river in future."saying this he turned silent.

We both were thinking about it.Suddenly I can hear someone walking towards us.When I turned it was Sam.I ran to her and embraced her.She was very happy to see us.I asked her about grandpa.She said "grandpa is speaking with Radha and his wife.Now run....he is waiting to see you.!!" I ran to the veranda to see him.I touched his feet.This a tradition hear.Rahul came behind me and did the same along with me.Grandpa placed his hand on my head to bless me and patted Rahul's shoulder.Reena and Mona were very happy to see me.I went and squeezed them in my embrase.Grandpa asked "Rahul....did Hazel irritated you??" I gave an angry look to my grandpa.Rahul looked at me with a smiling face and said "no grandpa....she is really awesome...I am blessed to have her with me." Grandpa laughed and sat on a chair.After having some conversation with Radha,grandpa called Rahul close to him and asked about the time machine.He said that he has kept it in a safe place.Rahul told grandpa that an industrialist named Veerendra is going to set up an Industry near the river of our village.He continued saying "Today morning a government vehicle went to the spot to cheak the place.They were discussing that this place is perfect for the factory.If that happens soon this place would become a hell for our children.Grandpa we have to stop it." Grandpa started to think about it.

Diya and Radha were listening to our conversation.They didn't understood any thing.Grandpa knows Radha very well.Radha's father,Krishna was a great friend of grandpa.After his fathers death Radha became a great friend of grandpa.

Grandpa revealed everything to Radha and Diya about time machine and time travel.He also said that Rahul is their son.They were shocked to hear that.They became very emotional.Diya ran to Rahul and embraced him.My tears started to fall due to happiness seeing Rahul very happy.We all decided to stop this destruction of earth.Diya and Radha also promised to help us.

A team of eight warriors was formed to save earth. Radha,Diya,Reena,Mona, Grandpa,Sam,Rahul and me.We decided to stop this industry at any cost.It was not very easy.Veerendra is a great industrialist,smart and rich.He has established many industries around the country.He also has a great influence in political field.It would not be very easy to tackle him.I asked Rahul "Is this possible?" Rahul aswered "nothing is impossible if we work togeather with a plan." We started to think about a plan.I am an expert in planning.I think we the girls get this in our genes.....a women can plan perfectly in any situation.I shouted with joy "I have an idea....." Everyone started to listen carefully.I explained..."We are eight.....let us divide into 3 different teams.Rahul is a chemical engeneer.So,he would join in the company as a scientist.By this we can easily know what they are planning and if needed you would give them fake reports that the environment hear is not good for setting up an industry..."Everyone were exited except Rahul. He was shocked.I asked him the reason for his expression.He said "Hazel....how do you get this kind of criminal thoughts in your mind so quickly.."I looked at him with angry face.With this words of Rahul everyone started to laugh.Grandpa asked then what other two teams would do??I answered him " One team will work on collecting information about Veerendra,his family and his business.And the last team would bring awareness in people to protest against this.So that even if the above two teams fails the people of our village will stop setting up of industry in our village."

Everyone agreed to this.Rahul was still looking at me with the same confused expression.He said "how do you get such immoral thoughts so quickly..?"I smiled and said "you only know half of my plan.....come closure I will tell you the exact plan.." he came closure to listen.I said "The second team will investigate about Veerendra and if he doesnt listen to us and sets up the industry then we will kidnap his family...then out of fear he will never set an industry hear." Listening to this Rahul looked at me.He said "Hazel....is this you.How can you be so criminal minded.Now dont say that you will harm him if he doesnt listen..!!"I gave him a serious look.His confused face is making me laugh.I smiled and said" I was just jokeing.....now please change that confused expression."Rahul smiled looking at me.According to the plan Rahul will join as a chemical engeneer in the industry. But I dont want Rahul to go alone as that is dangerous.Grandpa decided that I would go along with him.But Rahul denied to do that.He dont want to put me into danger.But I convenced him.Radha and Diya will be a team who will collect the information about Veerendara.They said that they will work in his home so that they can observe him very closely.Grandpa,Reena,Mona and Sam would bring awareness in people about this.This was the plan.Grandpa asked Rahul to bring the time machine.Rahul brought it from the atak in our room.Grandpa took it and kept it in a wooden box safely.

We started to execute our plan "Save Earth". Rahul and I went to Veerendra for a job.He was tall,patient,profesionally dressed with thick beard and mustache.Luckily we were appointed. Veerendra looked at all of his certificates and said "well young man....congratulations...you are appointed as a manager.This year we are going to start a plastic and textile industry near The village Tellapur.I want you to cheak the soil and resorses over there to set up our industry.This is your first work.All the best."he shook his hands with Rahul.We were very happy that our plan was working successfully.We went to Radha's home.Radha and Diya were sitting silently in veranda.They were looking little sad.I asked Diya about it.She said "Hazel...we went to Veerendra's house in search of work according to our plan.But they said that there was no work.We returned home". I said " no problem...you help grandpa in bringing awareness among people.We will find the information about his industries from his office..... Diya I forgot to tell you...Rahul has been appointed as a manager."Diya was very happy.Radha came and embraced Rahul with joy.They felt very happy.I asked Rahul that we will go to grandpa to tell him this news.Radha and Diya accompinied us.We went to grandpa.Rahul and I touched his feet and said that Rahul was appointed as a manager in Veerendra's company.He felt very happy.Grandma brought some sweet from the kitchen as grandpa asked her to bring sweets.Grandma doent know anything about our time travel.She said "where did you went Hazel.And who is this boy with you??" Grandpa said "this boy is Rahul.He came from a city to see Radha and Diya.He saw Hazel and fell in love with her.He want to marry Hazel.What do you say??" Listening to grandpas words Rahul was shocked. He came closure to my ear and said "your grandpa has made this story within seconds...now I understood.....I think making storys and plans is in your genetics....".
