1 An exceptional child, Rohit?!

In a parallel world.

Earth is the same as our original world, but with a big  major difference.

As unlike our original world the parallel world  earth doesn't have any history records about the existence of God's, messiahs or prophets.

Some says that God's existence   have been buried in the history by powerful figures  to hide the truth from the world, but majority of the people were firm believersbeliever of materialism.

They didn't believe in anything supernatural like ghosts or deities. 

But the truth about God and anything is still a mystery. 

24 Jan 2017.

India, Mumbai Central.

24 street, local market.

Bzzz~~

Bzzzz~~~

An loud  instrumental tune suddenly started to reverberate inside the room.

"Stop it."~~ said a young man annoyed by the disturbing sound.

But the voice didn't stop.

Bzz.

Bzzz.

"I said stop! "The young man waved  his hands in the air and on  the bed  like a fish out of water,  with his both eyes  closely shut, he then lifted  the pillow below his head and swiftly covered both of  his ears with it.

Bzzz~~~

Bzzz~~~

But that wasn't enough to block the loud annoying voice   from reaching his ears.

Helplessly the young man could only admit defeat, he  stood up from the bed with his eyes barely open and yawned.

"Why do I feel that I woke up rather early?" The Young man complained , he then leaned to the left side of the bed  toward the source of the sound.

His smartphone.

"Shh, I hate alarms." He sneered as he held the smartphone in his right hand , he  then unlocked the  smartphone with that the sound was stopped, but the next seconds both of his became wide into two large circles, as if he had seen a Ghost.

"Shit! It 8.50 already, fuck!!" He shouted loudly.

"i am going to be  late again." He left the bed in a hurry, exited the bedroom and ran toward the bathroom.

The young man's name is Rohit, an high school student in a Government secondary school and an independent young man.

Unlike other child's he doesn't want to be fully dependent on his parents for school fees and his other basic necessities.

Though he wasn't a topper when it comes to studies but  he is smart and hardworking when it comes to responsibilities.

Despite being 15 years old,  he has been living three different lives as a student on working days , delivery boy  on weekends and Gamer on nights.

Due to his busy schedule he was hardly able to sleep and rest properly enough.

Rohit exited the bathroom after 10 minutes, and hurriedly left the house without a meal.

He locked the door and walked toward the bike  which he bought just recently.

He hoped on the bike and started pedaling rapidly , after two minutes he left the locality , and arrived at the main road. The speed of the bike doubles the moment it joins the highway.

From here it will take him 10 more minutes to reach his destination.

Rohit may be a  minor but he is much more fit than all of his peers, with 6 feet height and 50 kg weight  he is comparable to an college students

Because of his exceptional fitness he decided to work as a delivery boy  to earn  some money.

Though his fellow classmates always  doubted his age because of his grownup body and strong  build and even mocked him  by calling senior and uncle from time to time, Rohit never took them seriously.

After 10 minutes, Rohit finally arrived at his destination , a pizza store.

He parked his bike in the open area and then entered the store.

The pizza store didn't cover too much of an area , it was just a small shop.but despite having  a small area they do have  lots of daily customers.

The moment He entered the store , a large queue came into his view, of course they were all waiting for their individual turn.

But Rohit doesn't have the luxury to wait patiently like others, he was already twenty minutes late and can't afford to delay any further.

"Hey, Rohit."

When Rohit was looking for a way to get past the queue and meet up with the recipient, he heard a familiar voice from behind.

"Oh, sir Good morning." Rohit Greeted the man behind him with respect. 

He was surprised to see him here.

"Good morning."

"How come you here so early." The owner said with a blank expression.

But that blank expression of the man in front of Rohit suddenly send the chills all over his body.

As an employee who has been working here  for   past 6 months , he was well aware of the character of the store.

The man in front of him is none other than the  owner of the store , his name is sourav, he is in his late 20's still unmarried, with a physically fit build and  fair skin he wasn't an average looking guy, but a handsome man.

Normally, the owner of the store is an kind and honest person  but he is an absolute monster when it comes to discipline and punctuality.

"SorrySoory.. boss, I just overslept a little, I am sorrysoory." Rohit slightly lowered his head and apologize, he has an straightforward personality and didn't like to beat around buss.

Sigh~~,

"You know I quite like young boys like , hardworking and honest, but the only problem is that you lack discipline and punctuality."

"If I am not wrong then it must be the 25th time you arrived late, right?!" Saurav asked, looking at Rohit.

Rohit who was already aware about this and  could only lowered his head in embarrassment without saying anything.

"Given your previous record I should have already fired you but I didn't."

"Not because of sympathy or something, it wasit's was just that I didn't have another person that could fill your place, but now I did." Saurav said.

Rohit paled the moment he heard this.

He was barely making living expenses for him, not to mention his overdues and tuition fees for the next month.

"No, I can't afford to lose this job not as of now!!!" Rohit thought to himself.

"Sir, you can't, please let me….." he said in a frightened voice, but  sorabh   stopped him in the middle of his speech.

Cough!

Cough!

"Let me finish first". Saurav continued.

"Though it's true that I have more than enough reason to dismiss you, but I wanted to give you a last chance to redeem yourself." Saurabh said nonchalantly.

"wait here!" Saying that sourav walked toward a gate on his left and entered the other side.

Rohit watched Saurav figure  disappearing in front of him  but he couldn't take his eyes off him , he was afraid.

Afraid of losing his job.

Rohit didn't come for a wealthy family, if he did he wouldn't be working  his ass off despite being a high school  Student.

His father is the only person who has been feeding him and his family, including  his little sister's expenses for the schools.

But Alas! It was nearly enough for all of them.

Rohit was an exceptional boy , he was much more mature  than his peers, even in his childhood he rarely demanded anything from his parents and never requested money from them.

As he turned fourteen and became a high school student. He decided to live independently, without leeching on his parents for his needs.

it's been two years since he started living independently , and in the last two years he never ever asked for anything from his parents.

But if he were to lose his job now, he won't have a choice but to request some money from his parents.

"No, I can't afford to lose this job."

"I will beg , If I have to."

Rohit made up his mind, he was firm in his decision to  not lose his job no matter the cost.

So what if he has to kneel down and plead to others, he will do it.

So what if he to lower himself in front of others.

If he could shoulder just a little amount  of  responsibility without his parents' help he will gladly lower himself to anyone.

"Here, take this". Saurav returned with six box in his hands.

Ah? Saurav sudden voice  surprised Rohit a little.  he then moved his Gaze and looked at the box in other party arms with an confusing Gaze.

"Take these and deliver them to their respective address within 15 minutes. If you could then I will forget about replacing you." said Saurav authoritatively as he handed the pizza boxes to Rohit.

Rohit on the other hand was moved by Saurav's generosity, he was well aware of his negligence and lack of punctuality, that's also   was the reason to why  he decided to  plead before  another party.

"Thank you….,Thank you very much sir. I will not let you down…,."  Rohit thanked Saurav again and again  and left the pizza store.

Phew~~ ,

"It sure was a boomer for me, fortunately my  boss isn't a bad person." Rohit mumbled to himself and approached his bike.

He placed the pizza's boxes inside plasticinside an  plastic containers on the backseat of his bike  that he specially prepared for this work, except for the paper slip of delivery address.

He looked at the slip and was surprised again.
