27 New Experience

Part 27 New Experience

Arnav was looking at his surroundings without blinking. He could not believe they really came to somewhere else. Though he was not sure whether they were in 2023 AD he was sure they were not at Maurya Empire. He looked at Khushi and asked,

"Are we really in the future?"

Khushi nodded yes.

"We are in 2023 AD"

Arnav looked at the light posts and vehicles dumbfounded.

"Khushi..."

"Mmm?"

"How are these vehicles running without hours or bulls?"

"It's running with the help of ENGINE"

"Engine means?"

"Machine, invented by human... it's all SCIENCE"

"Oh... Who will put oil in those lamps?" He asked pointing at the lights.

Khushi chuckled.

"This kind of lamp doesn't need oil but current"

"Current means?"

"It's an energy, also invented by humans. Nowadays, everything is working with current only"

"But, how could they light it? There is no ladder near the posts..."

"Just a switch is enough to light it"

"Switch?"

"Yes... I will show it to you later"

"Where is the switch?"

"I will show you but you should not touch it"

"Why?"

"We will die if we touch it"

"Whaaat?" he was shocked.

"Yes..."

"Will we die if we lit the lamp?"

"No... we will die only if we touch the current"

Arnav frowned. He didn't understand what the current was. Khushi understood it.

"Let's go..."

"Where?"

"We have to buy clothes for you"

"Do you really want me to change?"

"You have to change. To avoid people's odd gazes, you should wear our era dress"

"I'm not used to it, Khushi..."

"Adjust it... just for a day..."

Arnav sighed and asked,

"Will I look good?"

"Who will look good if Prince Aparajith doesn't?" Khushi asked.

Arnav smiled.

They came to the nearby shop. As Khushi expected, the shop owner looked at Arnav weirdly. Without giving heed to him, Khushi went inside, pulling Arnav with her. Taking a measurement tape from the shopkeeper, she measured his hip size and shoulder size. Arnav saw everyone having the MAGIC BOX in their hands.

"Khushi"

"Mmm?"

"Everyone is doing something in the magic box"

"It's a mobile"

"Don't you talk through it?"

"As of now, I have no reason..."
