KesuKhadda i.e Wormhole

A wormhole is a hypothetical topological feature of space time that would be, fundamentally, a “shortcut” through space time. Technically, wormholes would allow travel from one part of the universe to another part of that same universe very quickly or would allow travel from one universe to another.

And the above paragraph has been copied from wikipedia , if anyone had any doubts about us actually defining the ‘wormhole’ by ourselves.. And to figure out why we actually did, what we did, read on. .

“Hey! Do you think Hawking may be right about the life in other planet theory? Do you really think that those species will exist below the ice and never know about outer space?” Nikki, a tall girl of about 17 asked asked her friends Nisha and Nicky. The three friends Nicky,Nikki and Nisha were coming back from coaching. It was late but the teachers never seemed to let the students go home early. So they decided to walk together.

“No. Not possible. No sun. So how will they produce Carbon?” Nisha said shaking her head.

“Oh God! Again with your Carbon theory! Who is talking about Earth life?”

“No. No. You will need Carbon to produce DNA right?” Nisha was sure of her theory.

Nikki turned to face Nisha. “You are impossible! That is our definition of life. The DNA thing. But life will not mean only that. Maybe there are totally different elements that we cannot even imagine about.”

“Okay. I get you point. Now can we please go? My mom will kill me if I reach late!” Nisha said looking worried. So they hastened their pace.

Little did they know that their next destination, was going to be as far away from home as one could imagine!

In Nicky’s head the song played- I’m on a highway to hell…. Oooh i love that song.

****

“Muwahahahaahah!” came the laughter of some strident voice from the corner. The laughter reeked of evilness. Nikki opened her eyes slowly to look at some white bright light. Looking around she found that the whole place was made up of some kind of metal. “Aluminium?” she thought. She couldn’t find the source of the voice. She searched for Nisha but she was nowhere to be seen.

Suddenly the person with the voice appeared from nowhere. “What are you looking for?” the voice said. Nikki still couldn’t make out the person because of all the light but it surely was a female’s voice. “Where am I?” she asked.

“Oh you are just in my spaceship and we are outside the black hole. Come I will show you. The sight is awesome and I can show you all kinds of things in space.”

Nikki laughed at the absurdness of the sentence. “Are you crazy?” Then as an afterthought she added.“Is that you Nisha? Why are you making that strange voice? Just stop kidding and tell me what this place is. You cannot fool me. I am not stupid. Near a black hole she says.” She laughed again.

This simple line seemed to snap something. The person came out of the flood of light and shoved Nikki to the corner. That was definitely not Nisha. “How dare you talk to me like that?” Nikki , now feeling scared for the 1st time , tried to make out the face of their “supposed to be evil kidnapper” . . . And what she saw, left her speechless. .

Nikki tried to find her voice after discovering the truth about their kidnapper,  “Nicky?? Is it you ? What is wrong with you? Whats with all this rubbish? We were supposed to be heading home!! And what’s wrong with your voice?” and she spotted Nisha lying near her still unconscious. “What the hell is going on?” she thought.

“I am the person who will unviel the secrets of the universe! Think twice before saying me anything. And btw, i needed my lab rats didn’t I? So here you are, don’t worry. . I won’t cut you up. . I have never been interested in biology anyways!”

All Nikki did was stare at the girl in front of her. Then she asked, “I am sorry, but are you sure you are not crazy? Because belive me, i m sure you will convince all the doctors at an asylum that you are.”

She did not answer Nikki. Her face clearly indicated rage. She took a few steps back constantly eyeing Nikki and pressed some buttons that were present in a dashboard. Nikki had not noticed that before. “Now that’s weird.” she thought.

A few minutes passed. Nothing happened. Nikki searched for her cell phone to call the cops. Then slowly the walls moved revealing a glass window. She moved forward for a closer look. All she could see was blackness. As her eyes adjusted she saw a big ball of fire further ahead. The Sun?

Nisha regained her conciousness just then and looked at Nikki, and knew by her expression that she was equally surprised as her. . And also that . . They were in a spaceship in front of a BLACKHOLE.

to be cont….

P.S. kesukhadda literally means wormhole- in the Assamese language.
