"What do you exactly mean?" asked Chikku

"As said in certain books, which I usually sneak out in the college library, is kind of a quantum physics. Are you familiar with time travel?" said Gyankosh.

"You mean time machine?" said the curious Chikku.

"Something like that but not exactly the one that we always talk about. He has that strange attitude, which is not adjustable for our time. The original Kashem could be friendly but not childlike that has been faded once he became the outlaw. Who is he? We need to find out"

"We will"

After that, Gyankosh was counting on the stars while Chikku was enjoying the cool breeze of the grass.

Nitra and Chandrima were sitting at the tent in triangle, while the awkward Kashem was resting. The silence sounded like fireflies and frogs, which sounds...mortifying!

"Do you have a plan? Kashem?" asked Chandrima and Nitra.

"What plans?" asked Kashem.

"As the police kept on track, there are wanted posters about you. Madame Ruby wants you to get hanged! Why are you so relaxed?"

"Life is too short, dear! Why are you holding your sexual tension? Please don't take stress. I'm also relaxed! So shut up and listen! I got a plan. I've no time for love triangle shit!"

Little did he knew, the love 'shit' may become an important part of the narrative. It further sets the diversions of time, as the affection and feelings may collide with Kashem and Nitra. As for Chandrima, it's an unrequited one. On that while, Nitra remained silent.

"I..umm...remembered myself to be a monster. But in accordance to Selim, as informed during my healing, he said that there was a mob against my hanging and imprisonment as I helped a lot of people in those days. I've seen those who have struggled to get employed after the war. But as a war veteran, can't we have a safe place in town? So that, we could make a strategy without further a due?"

"My home's quite safe. Only Chikku, Selim and Gyankosh can be allowed in this but not others as the town is quite isolated" said Nitra.

"Then my father and I will protect the tribe so that, if Madame Ruby's henchmen comes, we may surely pledge a battle" added Chandrima.

"What makes you say that?" asked the shocked Kashem.

"Umm... as the wanted posters are in the whole of the country, we are having an alert, aren't we?"

"The tribes are always known for the truth and always for the people with a heart of gold, Kashem. Otherwise, without them, you wouldn't have been alive" said Nitra.

Suddenly, Gyankosh and Chikku rushed inside the tent and wielded a shield towards Kashem. Both the women got shocked about that attitude. It was such that, the moment of truth will come out. No matter you hide the truth, the moment will be lightened.

"Who are you?" interrogated Gyankosh.

"I'm Kashem? Why are you wielding a metal shield at me?" exclaimed Kashem.

"Nope, you don't sound like him. As far as I know him, he's a no nonsense man plus doesn't have time for everything! I wish you would have remembered Mustapha Ali. Wasn't he the one who robbed Rahat's wallet during his school years?" asked Chikku.

"Y...yes" stammered Kashem.

"Chikku and Gyankosh...what's going on?" asked Nitra who was trying to protect him.

"Can you kids spare Kashem? I think he might answer!" screamed Chandrima.

"Alright, I admit! I'm a time traveler! I have been overhearing your conversations in the pond!"

Everyone got stoned with a tremendous surprise which was inevitable. Spilling the words from Jawad wasn't new for him, as at least, he had done it two timelines ago. This time, it was even quicker. For them, the suspense was about to open on its way. Except Chandrima, which might be a suspect because what if, Chandrima was another time traveler, other than Jawad? The clock ticked while, Rahat just entered the tent with shock! They froze, waiting for Jawad to spill out.

"Oh God Damn It! Tell us!" screamed Chikku.

"Yes, I am Jawad and Rahat, I'm your son" said Jawad/ Kashem calmly.

"Impossible!" exclaimed Rahat.

"I know that it's too early and Dr. Nitra, you are the one who showed me the world. Anyway, the original Kashem might be aggressive and human, than what am I? I'm just a kid!"

Krishnandu entered the scene. As he overheard the conversation, he calmed himself down by entering the tent. All of them were numb. It might be too early to reveal but Jawad had no choice, which might surely have to be in the original timeline. It might be something that might change into better.

"Son, no words can be stated but honesty is never one of them. Speak up, child" said Krishnendu calmly.

"I came from 1999, all the way from here. During the 1980s...God! I need to explain again! Chikku and Gyankosh mentioned certain things about Kashem, which my father, Rahat said further when I was a kid...

(Rahat, Chikku and Gyankosh had their mouths wide open because reality wasn't expecting what their older selves would become. They wondered, whether they were like historical figures or something bigger than that, which only Jawad and we, readers knew).

After Kashem learnt about the corruption of the environment, his monstrosity led him to rob against those who harmed him. Chikku and Gyankosh were inspired by his 'Robin Hood'-ish act, whilst Selim and Rahat were the only team members who helped him during the worst times, right after the war. On the other hand, Nitra and Kashem's romance were inevitable, which beautifies the presence of flower with fire plus its deepness would set into a definite water, which the fire turns into a perfume of minerals and further words cannot be explain for this purity of love. As the authoritarians kicked him out, even Salam, who ousted him for the sake of status, his outlawed ways became appreciated by the needy to the lower middle class, while for the richer people, he's a folklore Ghost! Beating out the bad, while helping the good! The real Kashem was unpredictable.

Until, Madame Ruby came to the neighborhood, with her 'prostitute' daughters, she forced them to have sex with men. It was the guard, Jamshed used to keep mum. As Rahat, Gyankosh and Chikku used to get informed by him. Kashem did rebelled against the her illegal activities and almost humiliated her in front of the mobs, whose money has been bankrupted by Madame Ruby to make a high cost manufacture of goods such as fermented fishes and organic vegetables.

Even a lot of people disappeared from the neighborhood, especially young middle class women even before Madame Ruby came. After the continuous rebel, a murder was held while Kashem was in Dr. Nitra's house, along with Chikku, Gyankosh and Selim. Listening to the news in the radio, Dr. Nitra helped them escape.

Until, he was wounded and shot by the police, spotted. As Mustapha was a bully, he was suspected for the disappearance of the people, which was pretty illogical for the law as he was under 18. Although, he was taken to the Juvenile Hall, it was far better than prison. He was known by the other name, Muhammad Michael Santiago Krishna Dutta Shahzad.

Meanwhile, hospitalized by the ethnics, he regained consciousness, even foolishly trained them by waging a war against Madame Ruby and was failed entirely. The police arrested Kashem and blocked all his defense. Until, the court declared him to be hanged due to the lack of evidence against Madame Ruby who was supplying drugs.

We need to set the truth out-the reality of the 'disappearing people' (quite similar to Jack The Ripper) and the hanging of Kashem which is quite blunt. Trust is up to you, because it must be something to do with you-Rahat!"

Jawad was moving out of his pocket and heard a jingling sound of a paper. The moment he realized, thanks to his time travelling skills and papers given by the man with a white kurta, he took out. When they saw the articles and photographs of Kashem and Nitra in the court, as well as his friends, except that, one of them was missing. Who could that be?

According to the first plan, Kashem, Rahat, Chikku and Gyankosh wore a burkha, while Chandrima, Krishnandu and Selim stayed at their towns, by wisely training their defense against Madame Ruby.
