Arhan was rubbing Ehsaan's palm. Hablu pumped his chest and Fardeen was with Sazed-looking into his face, quite healing a bit. Hablu was not called 'hero of Altab Nagari' for nothing, he dedicated his life helping people despite his worst grades and his prankster persona. Arhan on the other hand, seemingly understood the entirety of Hablu's situation.

Ehsaan opened his eyes. Arhan and Hablu carried him to his house. Ehsaan was numb. Mrs. Ahmed opened the door and looked surprised at Ehsaan's condition. A China-clay teacup fell from her right palm.

"Oh! Goodness! What happened to my son!" screamed Mrs. Ahmed.

Hablu and Arhaan carried him to bed. Ehsaan fell asleep, snoring like a cat. It was too much for him to bear. Hence, after a long time, he could be sleeping properly. Hence, Hablu and Arhan along with Mrs. Ahmed sat down on the living room. Both the duo explained the whole incident that constantly reminded that young Ehsaan had so much to bear. Everyone has a limit to strengthen their mental capabilities until, certain things that breaks down into pieces.

Mrs. Ahmed calmed down. Firstly, she hesitated to share about what he actually went through. Hence, she revealed

'Kaiser was one of the powerful teachers after he left Altab Nagari. If anyone dared to mess with him, there were several consequences that both students and colleagues had to face. Due to that, Ehsaan had the joy to be in the school, on the otherwise a conservative area. In that area, children were treated like militaries or maybe crueler than that. The area resembled to one of the Roald Dahl's books, 'Matilda' such as Mrs. Trunchbull's school, but Kaiser made it colorful that the school authorities didn't like.

It was unfortunate, while at night, he was about to come from the groceries on his way home to have a small dinner party with us. But on the railway, he kept his grocery to fix his shoe. Until, a security guard was about to save him-it was too late that a train killed him. Since that night, Ehsaan lost his confidence. His father used to bring some books of knowledge and spent a lot of time with him, as well as Ehsaan's friend back in Alta Dighi, his only friend, Ara. She was a wonderful young lady. Her mom and I had a great sisterly bonding. After Kaiser died, our whole world has changed but some remained the same, especially our bonding with Ara. Our landlord was quite abusive because of how we applied our knowledge. In my absence, he used to abuse Ehsaan by telling him to polish his shoes, or encouraged him with even disrespectful and dirtier works. Unfortunately, it's pretty contradictory that I as a mom, couldn't spend time as much as his dad did.

Even the bullies used to almost flush him into the puddle and beat him out every day. In my presence, they seemed nice to me, while Ehsaan was stammering like someone is coming out from the glacier or something like a hypothermia. Alas! If he could learn reality. Now, being in an environment quite new to him and bullied again but no friends to support... This surely severed his temporary epilepsy'.

That saddened the duo, especially Hablu. They were looking at the clock, as Arhan and Hablu went to masjid, whereas George went to the church and Ikkhon went to the temple of Hanuman for prayers. The unity within the gang was deeper than usual, despite the mischievous persona they inhabited. Prayers went too strong that Ehsaan slowly opened his eyes, with his mother sitting beside her, smiling with a tear. Ehsaan smiled back and hugged Humayrah.

After few hours, the gang hoped into his house. It shook and surprised Ehsaan. Other than Arhaan, he couldn't meet the rest of the gang due to being new in the area. Despite he couldn't speak much to the gang, their actions were praised by the looks of them.

"Arhaan, we may've spoke a few times but your help is more than what a gem could provide" exclaimed Ehsaan.

"Please, don't thank me, thank Hablu for the action and Fardeen bro for the meds'' replied by the smiling Arhaan.

Ehsaan smiled back.

Until then, after school, whenever he walks past home, the gang constantly offered him tea in the Altab tea store. As usual, Hablu and the gang enjoyed some experimental recipes by Sajed Miyah, especially, fish fritters. He was a fast eater, but wasn't affected by fats.

"Aah! Lovely fritters! It has mango seasoning and the lentil batter tastes even fresh! The fish has the best marinade, especially with lemon, rock salt and loads of unique spices. Yum!!" complimented Hablu.

Hablu might look thin, but foodie at heart despite his regular routine. But it didn't stop Ikkhon's chubbiness to grow, despite being sporty. Arhaan, the smartest of all ate least of the fritter compare to the other three. George on the other hand, was a bit similar to Hablu but a slowest eater of the gang. Looking at them, Ehsaan was first being a 'nice guy' after the offer. Until, he started to swallow the fritters slowly, he enjoyed the essence.

"I saw a news today about a UFO was spotted in our country despite, it's roaming around the world. Is it true or a myth?" said George.

"Oh, George, you're such a smartass. I wish I would share my experiences with UFO as well" said Hablu.

"Aah! Let's hear then" said Ehsaan.

"It was a year ago, I got a ticket from NASA. But unfortunately, I couldn't get the other documents. Until one of the big shots entered my house, just to make sure.

"Is this Mr. Haroon Shikder Ohee?"

I answered "yes, sir".

"You seem like an adventurous young man. Why haven't you applied your visa yet?"

"I don't have any documents to prove my worth"

"You don't need to worry, I'll arrange the documents for you".

I was so excited that, I prepared for a visa interview. Later on, as the interviewer asked me so many questions, my answers were not up to the mark. Despite his unsatisfactory expression, he approved my visa. It was such that, the world had turned around and raised the eagerness more to the exhilarating adventure that I will be going to. After reaching to America, I just saw either skyscrapers, new signals or small apartments, while sitting inside the car with the fellow NASA agents. NASA was quite similar to the ones that were in the movies, except that the computers with big screens weren't touchscreen.

One of the scientists was introduced himself as Dr. Hagentonitzche."

"What?" exclaimed George and Arhaan.

"In short, we call him Dr. Hagen. He took me to the chemical lab and demonstrated some blue-print like chart. He explained that in Mars, similar to malaria or...umm...diarrhea, Dalamiarrhea. After making meds made of breadcrumbs, biscuits, carrots, sugar, spice powder, tikka sauce, beef, fish, chicken, naga peppers, turmeric with coca cola, I made a formula that I gave it to an Earth residential Martian from Mars by tasting it. Despite his body was shook, he approved the remedy along with Dr. Hagen.

Finally, we shipped into the rocket. Almost seven days, we get into Mars. It might look a little sandy but more near, more of a colorful, earthly look, except the change in color. When we three got out of the rocket, removing the oxygen mask, I felt a sense of relief. The oxygen in Mars was less polluted than Earth. On the other hand, the place where we had landed was the rural area. It was quite similar to ours except that the ambassadors and high authorities were using some really advanced technologies, we've never seen before.

The aliens were not what we used to see in movies, they're more human and act like them. As the ambassador permitted me to help those in need. Hence, the first, I went to a house made of clay and hay. It had large dead corn field in front of the small house. An old woman hoped out from the house, awkwardly looking at me.

I said "Aunty, may I help you?"

"Do you want a jelly bean?" asked the old lady.

"I mean HELP!" I cleared my throat.

"Oh, how can I help you?" said the old lady.

"I am from Planet Earth! I am here to vaccinate those who are suffering from Dalamiarrhea!"

"Do you want to get dirty! Who is Maria? Are you dating her?"

I thought that Dalamiarrhea made her deaf. Hence I injected the vaccination. Her eyes widened! Hypnotic it was! She danced like a disco. I got scared. While dancing, she screamed by chasing me "Come here, you rascal! You'll get the last of me!"

Sweat glands coming out of my forehead and helped me to bite my fingers off. Without further ado, I hid myself in a tree, whereas the old lady danced by getting back to her humble, yet dead home. I got a sense of relief, whereas it was the starting of a catastrophic moment. After that, I saw a kid crying down to the root of the guava tree. He reminded me of Arhaan as a cute but a sorrowful toddler.

I asked "Hey kid, what happened? What are you weeping at?"

"My father blamed me for stealing mangoes. I'm not the person to do it, it was a thief, who wasn't caught yet!'' mopped the kid.

"Are any of your family members suffering for dalamiarrhea?"

"It's my mom and the goats"

Hence, the kid took me home. I wore a surgical mask. The house was quite similar to that old lady's, but smaller than a tent. We entered by using sanitization. Unfortunately, the Martians were allergic to alcohol. That's why, I rubbed it with a tissue to get rid of the smell. A poor, young looking lady was bedridden, smiling at the son.

"My son, is he our medicine doctor?" asked the young lady.

"Yes, he is"

I poured the meds into the syringe. Her body shook, trembling with excitement and said "YIPPEE! Hip! Hip! Hurray!"

It seemed, she lost her senses, swinging and floating around the house. It reminded me of a certain book that I've read as a first grader. We were amazed but at the same time, I was worried. After the kid and I hoped out of the house, saw three goats were lying ill in front of the rice field. Injecting the meds, the goats were chasing each other like a merry-go-round.

Oh...I forgot, the kid's father just arrived to see the calamity. Shocked and disappointed, he furiously called out the angry mobs. They raised the torches, marching on the streets, calling me the disturber of peace. Looking at them, I ran. They chased me all the way to the bloody dead end. Petrified and horrid, they took me to the court

I positioned myself in the 'guilty' box, whereas the kid's dad: the farmer was at the witness box. The judge slowly walked while giving a cough by reaching the table. He sat down, then the judgment started.

"What is cause of the criminal that downwards your silence to create such atrocity?" asked the judge

"Your honor, I was going to plant some herbs, but I've seen an old lady smiling, closing her eyes, raising her hands"-

"Enough for the bookish detail, get straight to the point"

"She was dancing with dandelions! Then I saw my wife, floating around and chasing bananas. My kid is being hysterically happy! Some old guys even sang foul-mouthed songs that fainted me"

"Then?"

"My goats, they're being horny as heck! Then I found out that our ambassador announced about a vaccination coming from Earth, that's actually affecting the whole colony of our area. Also dalamiahrrea is sucking us lesser than its antidote"

The judged looked pissed and torn his hair off.

"SHUT UP YOU FRUSTRATED SON OF A MANIAC! Could you please, let the criminal speak from his side? Proceed, sir"

I said "Your honor, my intent is to help those who are affected from dalamiahrrea. As approved by the government plus the ambassadors of Planet Mars, I testified my experiment as a science enthusiast to the welfare of the people. If I were aware of the side effects, at least I could improve more''.

"This is forgery!" screamed the farmer.

Until, the group of 'recovering Martians' rushed into the court with swing of happiness. The crowd looked surprised, but the farmer was so stubborn to not agree the fact. The judge smiled as if the people from the Planet Earth were welcomed. Despite all these, the farmer and his men tried to beat me up in the court, despite the judge dismissed the case. The Ambassador, along with Mr. Hagen got me out of the public beating and returned me to the rocket.

Since then, The UFO or Unclassified Flying Object was finding me by travelling to Planet Earth"

Finishing the story, Hablu sighed. The others were silenced by listening to the story attentively. Sajed looked blank. The crowded marketplace became soundless. It was such that the attention was deeper than expected. Until, George said "I'm not convinced with your story".

"Why so? Dear George?" said Hablu.

"How NASA did gave you the tickets so easily and why? According to the newspapers, the UFO has been travelling on the USA. As far as I know, the Aliens are more advanced than us. So he could track you easily, right?" said George.

"Actually, the Martians are looking for Dr. Hagen. Because he and the Martian residents were the ones approving my experiment going wrong".

"How? It's all tall tales"

Hablu growled. He said "Bring more jhalmuri (spicy puffed-rice) for me! This is your punishment!"

"I'm broke"

George got scared, as Hablu raised himself from the table. George meowed and ran, Hablu started to chase him. Ehsan, Arhaan and Ikkhon laughed all the way. This, perhaps is the beginning of a newly-formed friendship to ever see the innocence.
