The Crystals

After a moment of silence, Giasuddin asked, "So, how do you control lightning?"

"I don't actually know. I just could do it after a strange miraculous accident took place."

"Please add more," requests Giasuddin with an intrigued voice.

"It so happened that....." Thus Zohaifa explained the situation.

"Such a wonderful event," said Giasuddin referring to this same event which trembled the heart of both the brothers, "But what happened to the scientist?"

"He thought he would get lightning power like me if he gets shocked too. Thus he shocked himself to death, trying to achieve the power I did, to save himself from me, where I wasn't gonna kill him in the first place," answered Zohaifa.

"Scientists can be stupid sometimes, can't they?" said Giasuddin as he burst out of laughter completely forgetting that he is a scientist too.

After a few boring days of outer space, Zohaifa got his space suit on as he got ready to land on planet X. Fortunately he had a safe landing. He got out of the space and astonished he is. That was nothing like earth. NAY! The sky was red, the grass was orange and the water was yellow. Zohaifa walked down the staircase of the spaceship as he stared in awe of the planet.

He was then waiting for the scientist to do some research using the space ship from his lab. Several devices came out from the spaceship. After few moments of complicated examinations using the technical sensors of the ship, the scientist declared that the air was breathable.

"You can open the helmet now," informed the scientist.

Then Zohaifa opened his helmet in excitement to breath the new fresh air. Unfortunately, it so happened that due to the screen of the helmet the planet seemed more unique than it actually was. In reality, the planet is just as normal as planet earth. So what? Just because the environment looked like earth doesn't mean the animal would do so too, right?

So, Zohaifa started wandering around the planet. He never felt such a thrill before. It was a mixture of fear and curiosity. The scientist did not say anything as Zohaifa was unconsciously helping him with his research anyway. He wanted to know what would an alien planet be like. Would it be something like earth? Does every life in the universe look the same way? The best way to know is to explore and that was what Zohaifa was doing.

Zabir turned to a corner and started praying, "Ya Allah, let there be no more trouble."
