The next day was a very dull and gray as it had rained the entire night and dark rain clouds loomed large over the blue sky.
Ravi reached the Park was not surprised on seeing less than half the students who were present the previous day.
He thought to himself,"Weak humans, the going gets a little tough and nobody gets going."
Then with his Assassin's eyes scanned the entire scene and found only a bunch of tenth graders who were really concerned about the environment and he smiled when he saw Shreya arguing with someone (most probably Venu) Pooja was standing a little back and was shouting slogans at the top of her voice.
His image of Pooja as a Bespectacled, Shy, Introvert, girl was changing drastically when he saw her shouting for a bunch of trees and a little greenery. Now the clouds had covered the entire sky and it had become a little dark, occasionally lightening could be seen and thunders could be heard. There was chill in the air and most of the students who were present there wore sweaters and were carrying umbrellas in one hand and in the other were placards and as for Ravi he was wearing a gray colored jacket with a hood over his head.
He was observing everything from a distance, Pooja then went upto the builder and was talking to him about something, the builder naturally did not like it and it angered him so much that he lost his temper and raised his hand and brought it down fast to slap her but Ravi was quick to act and caught hold of his hand before it could strike her and said,"Leave the Park to us or you will regret your decision." Venu was now very angry and let go off Pooja and now caught hold of Ravi's jacket and started getting rough with him. Ravi slowly lifted his head slowly
and as lightening flashed in the sky Venu for the first time saw who he was holding and Venu's hands started shivering.
"Hello Mr.Venu long time no see.",said Agent Scar slowly and
Venu instantly let go off him and said,"You... what are you doing here?"
Agent Scar replied,"Thats none of your concern, just leave the park and go."
"What do you want with the park?",questioned Venu.
"Don't you remember what happened to Mr.Murali?"
Then Venu had a memory flash, about two months ago he had hired Agent Scar to assassinate Mr.Murali and his family who were the only rivals he had in the building business and Venu knew better than anyone present there of what Agent Scar was capable of doing single handedly and now Mr.Venu was shivering more than ever and
Agent Scar continued in his low tone,"I think Padmavathi is in the kitchen cutting vegetables and Little Nikita is in her play school, If you want both of them to see tomorrow's sunrise, leave now with all your men."
Venu now trembling in fear which was clear in his shaky voice said,"Please don't harm them I won't come near the park ever again, here are the papers, you can have them for free just don't kill them."
All this conversation happened so slowly that only those two could hear each other and nobody else. Then after some brief moments Mr.Venu Gopal took all his men and machinery and left the place. The students were all stunned, they all wondered how Ravi could change the Stone like Heart of Venu just by talking with him for a few minutes when they failed to do that since 2 days.
Ravi just turned back and faced all his fellow students and said loudly,"Friends, I have brought the entire place and I gift it to you all,but we still need to improve this place and make it the best park this area has ever had."
All the students shouted in joy and everyone were ecstatic, all were happily singing, dancing and hugging each other, the mood was like that of a carnival but the weather was dull and a stark contrast to the mood, Ravi went upto Pooja who was hugging all her friends and crying in joy as her little initiative of saving the park was successful and Ravi went upto her and She turned and was about to hug him but stopped when she saw it was a boy she then smiled shyly and stretched her hand as if for a handshake and Ravi too stretched his hand and they both shook hands for the first time.
Agent Scar was amazed at the softness and delicateness of her hands which were a result of proper upbringing by her loving parents while his hands were rough and hard and he knew why.
Pooja said,"Thanks a lot Ravi not only for the park but also for saving me from that brute."
"Hey Pooja don't mention, what are friends for and anyway buying the park is no big deal for me."
Pooja then said,"A lot of our friend's parents are engineers and planners we will ask them for an idea of how to improve the park and every Saturday and Sunday we all will work for a few hours and within no time the Park will become the best."
Ravi replied,"Sure Pooja whatever you suggest I don't know anyone here anyway."
Pooja asked,"Hey Ravi have you thought about any name to the park."
Ravi thought for a second and said,"Friends Park"
"Thats a cool name", said Shreya joining them and asked Ravi,"What did you say to Venu that made him leave so early."
Ravi just smiled and said,"Well, everyone has their weaknesses you just need to know when to use those against them, anyway you wanted the park and you have it."
Shreya said,"You should've left that Venu to me for a few minutes and I would've shown the power of Karate."
Pooja said,"Shreya when will you learn all battles need not be won by fighting, when a few words are enough."
"Very true.",echoed Ravi and Shreya said,"I don't know about all that philosophy, thats your department Pooja and this victory calls for a celebration." and all the students once again shouted with joy.
