    Time Renewed - Nagesh Kumar CS

    1. Spacecraft arrives

    January 1, 2050.

    Nandi Hills, Near Bangalore, India

    When Alex Salian left the guest house at the top of Nandi hills, it was exactly 8.00 am on January 1. He drove down the serpentine hilly roads in his white Ford SUV with ease, hardly expecting any traffic either way on that day and time. And he was not surprised.

    It is not everyone who wakes up in a Hill resort on the New Year day that early and drive back to the City. They would be in all probabilities sound asleep. It was only him every year and every time, who did this religiously and he was happy with it.  He sighed as he negotiated an S-pin bend downhill. His Intelligence bureau ID badge twinkled in sunlight, where it lay on the dashboard announcing to the world that he was a Deputy Director in the Bangalore City office of the Intelligence Bureau.

    He sighed with melancholy. That was all he was left with. Try as he might he would never forget this day in his life. Was it not on the fateful New Year eve three years ago that he was in a luxurious city Club in a New Year’s Party with his lovely fiancée Alice D’Costa having the time of his life?. Everything then had seemed so optimistic. Alice was a dimpled curly haired 5 ft 8 in tall svelte beauty, whom he had chased fervently and finally, she had accepted him as her suitor.

    Their togetherness, the laughter, the love. It was just perfect. They were looking forward to not just the break of a New Year dawn but were on the threshold of a new life itself...hmmm. Whoever knew that it was going to be so short-lived?

    The sudden deafening blast that had ricocheted in the Club hall at exactly midnight brought in a death and devastation among the revellers like never before. A cloud of smoke and all-pervading soot enveloped the place and cries of pain and distress rang out. He had survived and he came to a few minutes later. He had looked for her, his Alice among the dead and the dying, the blood and broken bon  es that littered the floor. He had found her mangled body. He had lost her. Forever.

    The bomb was detonated by a terror group; it was learnt later through the latest rage, the New Age Internet sky-cast that facilitated laser projections of news on the sky so everyone could see. Only this time it had made them gasp, some twenty innocent lives lost for a cause only those terrorists believed in.  New Global Force Terror network, the group called itself. They had bragged in their sky-cast that they were indeed ‘responsible’ and it was as usual ‘just a beginning’ and ‘a sample’.

    But the sample had been enough to destroy Alex’s future personal life. And Alice’s as well.

    He had been in the hospital too for a few weeks suffering from a fracture, a concussion and shock. Then he had returned to a barren empty life. Without Alice.

    He had sought to lose himself working all the time. It had helped. He had solved many a tough case and earned a fair bit of respect from his bosses and colleagues alike. He had become a specialist in tracking down and busting terrorist networks.

    But the New Year eve was always a sore memory with him. He would leave home on 31st Dec evening and spend a lonely night in this remote guest house. Deliberately avoiding human contact and socializing. Just to immerse himself in Alice’s memories. All by himself. It was a medicine for his injured soul. He would drive down to the office the next day, the Jan 1st, not caring that it was an Official holiday and get back to work.

    He had done this every year since Alice died. This time it was going to be no different, he thought grimly. He will enter a near-empty office and lose himself in some files.

    He had turned another blind curve when he saw something twinkle on the far horizon. He would have dismissed it as an optical illusion but for the fact that something large showed up in a few seconds on the spot! He slowed down almost stopping and crinkled up his eyes to look closely.

    What, his mouth slowly opened in disbelief. It was a huge cloud-like object racing towards him in the clear morning sky. Was it a bird, an aeroplane or Superman, he laughed at the comparison.

    Well, it was certainly a golden globe like-object hurling towards him, its metallic sheen twinkling in the sun. He quickly stopped the car to the side of the hill road and almost stumbled out of the van.

    As he looked, it slowly dawned on him that it was no mirage but a real spacecraft. His heart pounded in his chest wildly and legs felt weak.

    His lips felt dry and he had the presence of mind to whip out his iPhone and turned the camera towards the flying object.

    But to his utter surprise, he found that his iPhone was dead. Well, he had charged it the previous night and it was working fine a few minutes ago.

    As he looked the spacecraft or whatever it was, slowed down as it neared him and stood still in the sky. Alex could still not believe that an encounter was happening to him on this lonely hill road right then. He observed quickly that the vessel was about 100 ft. in diameter and stretched to 50 ft. tall at the centre. And it was spinning slowly around its axis as it stood still as if observing him and challenging him to act. Then suddenly a yellow beam of light shot out from its bottom, and the whole area was suddenly bathed in the gilded light. He looked at his Casio digital watch and noticed that
