Kriday's POV
"Dangerous things are like magnets. They attach us like Iron nails. For me fire is such a thing as it took my parents." I replied flatly.
That morning, Ishaan squealed "Wait! Is akka really coming!!"
That scared the crap out of me, which jolted me awake . I turned to Ishaan, still half asleep asking him who was the akka he was talking about.
"You don't know her?"—Ishaan asked me as he was thrown in a loop and gave Rudyash a dramatic eye roll . "Rudyash's sister is coming over to visit us."
"Muscles has a sister!" I was taken aback, as I looked at Rudyash who is quite nonchalant, intimidating guy who is a bitt scary replied that he has a sister and she is a year older than Ishaan .
"You didn't meet his family, did you Krish?" Asked Ishaan archly with a smirk an his lips. "Go and make breakfast, man!." He added as he pushed me into the kitchen.
The smell of steaming hot poha and Dosa, filled the room along with Ishaan's excitement and Rudyash's enthusiasm mixed with his dark aura.
"By the way, what is her name?" I asked Rudyash while munching on the Dosa "— How does she look like?"
Rudyash looks up from his plate in slow motion and takes out his phone as he answered " Her name Is Sharadvitha ." He hands me the phone.
My jaw dropped as I saw her.She is a knockout with a small face, a pair of Lotus petal shaped Chocolate brown eyes, a drop-dead gorgeous smile, long brown hair and a slim body.
"Don't be that shocked"—Rudyash sighed as he took the phone from me. "If you try to flirt with her, you are done."
Geez, that strung! He is really overprotective of her.
Rudyash added that I tend to have a great following in the girls and he doesn't wants me to flirt with her.
At dusk , we head out to pick her up from the railway station. I was dressed in a red and blue checked shirt over a white shirt with black cargos, Ishaan in a grey hoodie and baggy jeans and Rudyash in a blue sleeveless T-shirt and black shorts —which is basically his every day outfit.
As we reached the station, a scarlet force started forming a thick layer around the station, wiping out all the people in it and it headed towards me, catching me off guard.
I covered my face as Rudyash and Ishaan alerted me to move but a red glow emerged from my hand. It was fire. I looked at my hand in disbelief and I turned to Ishaan with fear in my eyes. Ishaan had an 'I knew it' kinda of expression and as I turned to Rudyash, he was filled with 'It cannot be right' judgment.
As soon as this happened, a girl in a Yellow dress holding a Spear like that of the Murgan or Karthikeya with curly hair landed behind me.
"So —" She stated, " You are the missing member of our team."
I asked her what she was talking about and what was happening. Then she took me up to the foot over bridge and then showed me Rudyash and Ishaan fighting the scarlet force.
She pointed at Ishaan who was fighting using a bow. "Ishaan Raghupaturni is the Aakasha element of our group and is the descendent ofSri Rama Chandra."
My jaw dropped to the floor at the speed of an jet on hearing that, I mean he is a mischievous yet clever and charming person but Sri Rama is the epitome of all good qualities in a man and it doesn't make sense to me. But one thing is for sure, Ishaan follows his duties very seriously.
Then, she points at Rudyash, who fought the force bare handed and defeated them"Rudyash Varma is the Nandi and Indra elements of our team."
Then she introduces herself as Karthika Nair, the Wind element of the team. Then she says that I am the missing Fire element in the team.
"Dangerous things are like magnets. They attach us like Iron nails. For me fire is such a thing as it took my parents ." I replied flaty.
She

She took me down to Ishaan and Rudyash who mumbled about getting me and Sharadvitha out of here. They forced me into a car, after which me,Ishaan and Karthika reached home.
My head was filled up with many questions and yet the words are stuck in my throat, as I quivered, until Ishaan hands a glass of water to me and Karthika.
"Krish—?KRIDAY?!" Ishaan snapped the tender of my wandering mind by tapping my shoulder.
I break the trance by letting out a deep sigh, flicking. I looked at Ishaan with wide eyed.
"Is everything okay?" Asked Karthika concerned, almost slamming the glass on the table, placing her hand on my shoulder.
"Yeah, but—" I paused as my eyes dart vacantly before finding hers, "Please tell me how is this possible ?"
Then Karthika took a long breath "You parents, Pavak Naik and Mugdha Yadhav were a part of this team. Your father was the fire element and your mom was the Music element and a telepath. They were killed in that fire as Aarudhra found out the you would be the one to end her."
"Who is Aarudhra?" I asked her as Rudyash barged in with his sister who looked utterly calm.
"We would be heading to my house tomorrow afternoon" Announced Rudyash looking deadly at me.
"Can we delay the travel back to tomorrow evening ,please?" Whispered Sharadvitha, trying to melt him with her puppy eyes. "I am tried from the journey and I came to Hyderabad, just to head back home!"
Rudyash finally gave in after a lot of convincing.
Then, she introduced herself to me. She is the part of the so called "team" and is the reality and Earth element of the team.
"I am Kriday Naik," I replied stretching my hand for an handshake. "I am 22 years old and I am a Chemist in making."
"Oh—" she said completing the handshake.
Later I made dinner. It made us forget about the fight at the station and calmed us all down, we shared our interests, our goals. It lead to us becoming friends.
Sharadvitha and Karthika were given my room to use as we don't have an extra rooms to serve as the guest room, so I used Ishaan's room. Rudyash's room was left intact as he was the only one using it.
"Ishaaan—" I chirped diving into his bed, " I got Sharu's number!"
"Great for you." He sighed dramatically looking at his phone.
"What's her type?" I asked him smiling stupidly.
He replied that it is definitely not me. It left me hurt but I replied that I will find out tomorrow and I drifted to my dream land.
