5: I Choose to RUN.

The day of meeting each other was done...

everyone went to their rooms but there was a problem in Luke and Kevin's room.

"Hey, what are you doing?" yelled Luke at Kevin.

"Hey, are you my roommate?" asked Kevin

"I should ask you that. What's all this?"

(Kevin was doing some traditional rituals in his room, where the smoke covered the whole room)

"It's a hostel room.

Who knows who might have stayed

here and what might have they done?

That's why I lit this incense so

that the room gets cleaned." said Kevin

"you and your Indian works.

Make some more smoke

and you'd be gone too." ordered Luke

Kevin cleared all the smoke and they went to sleep.

The next morning, first class.

Professor enters the class,

He comes with great excitement and students greet him.

"Whenever we enter a new class,

that energy would be different.

Something great. Similarly, every professor

would have a curiosity to find out the brilliant

student of his class."

(The professor gives them the question and says to them to find a solution and who finds it out will be a brilliant one.)

"so, the problem I'm going to give you is,

If the expression

x square - 4cx

divided by x square

+ bx + c square = ?

This is the problem and

let's see who'd solve it." says Professor.

"it's me, sir.

-Yes, sir. I'll do it." Replies Jackson the topper.

(once all classes are done, it was time for everyone to find the solution.)

Whereas in Kevin and Luke room,

Kevin tries hard to find a solution whereas Luke was waiting for the lights to get off.

-"Hey, switch off the light" Luke requests

"Can't you see? I'm solving the problem." Kevin replies.

"Is it necessary to solve that now?"

"Maybe you don't,

but it's necessary for me.

Well, you seem like you

have come here for a timepass.

But I'm not like that.

My dad did farming, saved every penny, and sent me here with great hopes." Replied Kevin

"So you too have a

problem with your father?

So you won't switch off

that light until you solve it?" asked Luke

(Luke gets annoyed and finds the solution to the question

as Kevin gets the answer they both go to sleep.)

"Do you know the solution to

this problem, right then?"

Yes. Replied Luke.

Next Morning,

Every student was shocked by seeing the solution on the board.

Professor comes in and get shocked and says,

"The problem is solved?

Solving the problem overnight hasn't

happened in the institute till today.

Come on, who did this?"

"Jackson, did you?"

"no sir I didn't do!"

"Then who did?" asked the professor out of curiosity.

Luke raises Kevin's hands " sir it's him, he did it"

"hey, did you do it? Asked Rosie and also the professor

"yes, sir I only wrote" replied Kevin.

The professor starts praising.

-"I couldn't find it even on Google, sir

-Come. Come on... Come on.

See, that's the beauty of the institute.

Aha! We can't expect where we get surprises from.

I thought Jackson would

solve it, but Kevin did.

Come on, everyone. Clap for Kevin."

(The professor gives them tougher problem than this)

And even that problem was solved by luke but Kevin writes it on the board

and everyone starts asking doubts to Kevin but Kevin never made hard work

he finally reveals the truth.)

Rosie wanted to meet Kevin, she goes to their room and knocks

"you!!" Asked Luke

"they said this room was Kevin's" Replied Rosie

"We share our room"

R-"Hey"...

K-"Yes."

"What can I do for you?"

R-"Nothing. I felt to meet you casually."

-"You are such a genius, Kevin."

-"Thank you." Replied Kevin.

Shall we catch up over a coffee? Rosie asked

No, nothing as such.

"I already have a girlfriend in my

Place and she trusts me a lot.

I'm fixed to her." Replied Kevin

"Kevin, I asked to catch up over

a coffee just as a friend." Replied Rosie.

"Then, we shall meet tomorrow." Said Rosie.

"But just as a friend and

you should pay the bill too." Replied Kevin.

-Okay, see you.

-Okay.

"And you! You are so lucky to

Share a room with a genius like Kevin.

Try to work hard a bit along

with him. You'd at least pass." Rosie Said to Luke

"Sure, madam." Replied Luke.

IN THE CAFE.

Hi, Kevin.

Kevin, the thing is,

these algorithms always

appear to me like ghosts.

How do I crack this code?

This one.

Is this what you meant about

catching up over a coffee? asked Kevin.

Yes.

Do something,

write down your doubts and give them to me.

I'll think about it the entire night

and clarify with you in the morning. Replied Kevin.

Just one sum. Rosie replies.

Kevin goes away, but Jackson catches him and says

"Do you feel like a hero

by solving the problems?"

"That's my problem too, boss.

I know that I'm not a hero.

I'll tell the truth." Replied Kevin.

"It isn't me who solved those problems.

-Then, who did?

Luke!

Luke, my roommate.

-Luke?

-He is the one who solved those problems

If you have any doubts, go and ask him."

(Everyone in shock. The professor meets luke in the library)

-Hi, Luke

-Hi, sir.

"I had doubt when I saw Kevin

for the first time itself.

But it got clarified now.

Why did you push Kevin in the front when

it was you who solved the problems?" asked Professor.

"What do I get from that, sir?

Except for a little applause and a

photo in your college magazine.

I didn't come here for those things, sir."Replied Luke.

-"Then, why did you come here?"

-"Necessity, sir.

I need the degree certificate from your

college to achieve what I wished for, sir."

"What exactly do you wish to achieve?" asked the professor.

I wish to rule, sir.

"What?" Professor in shock.

"I wish to rule the world, sir.

Earlier, people like Alexander

waged wars to rule the world.

But now, we don't need

to wage wars to rule, sir.

Google, Youtube, WhatsApp, FaceBook, Twitter...These things are ruling

the world today, sir. If we can develop one software like any

of those, we can rule the world." Replied Luke.

"Life is a long race, Luke.

You are thinking of shortening the

race and running fast. Careful, careful!

At times, that may drop you down and

even the world may forget you." Professor suggested.

"You are right, sir.

I wish to run fast

and I don't want to stop.

Anyways, thanks for your concern, sir." Replied Luke.

(Rosie finds Luke and calls out.)

Luke.....

Shall we catch up over a coffee??

I messed up big time. Sorry!

What?

I'm sorry.

It's fine... Replied Luke.
