Sumo got down from the cab. ..she was in her comfortable wear. .. jeans  paired with a comfortable body fit tops. ..

  ISRO HQ. ...

As per the security norms, she had to pass three gates. ..at first gate, she got an easy entry with her identity card. ..at second gate she was asked her biometric identities and it wasn't more than that. ..

    Sumo was stopped at the third  gate. ..it was actually the entrance to the main building which was crucial in the premises. ..

  
  As the guard scanned her with metal detector, it alarmed the beeb ...

    The guard hesitated to allow her even after seeing her identity card. ..He intercom the communication dept to acknowledge her entry. ..

Suman had to wait until someone authorise her entry. ..she sighed as it had become her constant trouble. ..

It was not to blame the guard. ..actually, he was right in accordance to the defence system. ..

But, the thing is, suman had a metal  implantation in her tibia  (leg bone ) five years ago when she met with an accident. ..until then, she had been practiced to face these kind of issues with the metal detectors. ..

   Ten minutes passed and the security allowed her to go in. ..He apologised her that it was his duty. ..she gave him a smile and headed to the conference block ...

    Daisy Thomas met everyone of her team members. ..they hadn't much time to introduce each other as the chairman arrived at the point. ..

   Mr. sivan, the chairman of ISRO started the discussions to the point. ..

" well guys. ..nice to be here. ..as you know all. ..this is a secret mission and madam. Daisy  would guide you. ..you all specialised in your concern field and I wish you to do your best in this project. .."

 
   After his little speech, daisy  started to give an idea. ..

" guys. ..the mission would be notified to you step by step. ..now, we have to choose the launch pad from where we could launch the PSLV. ..anyway, our research would take eight to twelve months to complete. ..at the same time, the launch pad should be ready. ..any suggestions. .? "

  She left it to be an open discussion. ..

  Anu Harinandh suggested. . " ma'm. ..sriharicotta would be better I think. ..We've multiple launch pads there. ..and it's well equipped as we know. .it would be a better choice. .."

 
    " no ma'm. ..it won't workout. .."

  Suman objected. ..

  Actually Daisy, even the chairman chose Sriharicotta to be a better one. ..Suman's objection made their eyebrows shrunk. ..

  " if you don't mind. ..may I. .? "  She interjected to their puzzled look. ..

 
She began as they nodded to continue. ...

" madam. ..it's a secret mission. ..in that case, Sriharicotta would be under every country's vigilance . ..rather, we have to go for an unfamiliar launch pad that would be  hard to guess. .."

" we know that there's a new launch pad design going on in 'kulasekara pattinum,'  in  tamilnadu. ... ..if my guess is right, our secret launch would be the first in that launch pad. .."

   " what. .? We don't have much fecilities there..."  Daisy astonished. ..

Suman  nodded. ..

" yes ma'm. ..i do  agree. ..but, we have  'mahendragiri  propulsion complex. .'   near .Any how,we have to assemble the engine in mahendragiri  and transport to sriharicotta. ..if it's kulasekara pattinum, it's easy then. .."

" moreover, kulasekara pattinum has its own advantages. .first, our opponents can't assume the place. ...Secondly, the gravitation pull is lesser in k. Pattinum according to its location on earth. .."

" third, according to its location, the rocket would reach its orbit in lesser time when compared to sriharicotta. ..hence, it's fuel efficient too. .."

    Everyone listened her awestruck. ..

" importantly. .." she hesitated to mention the point. ..

" suman. ..it's okay. .come on. .."

Daisy was impressed and she not gonna miss Suman's every note. ..

"  our mission would be a successful one at any cost. ..if incase, it fails...the parts would fell on the sea which is close to the launch pad. .we can save the people from any damages that may cause by falling directly on the ground . ..and ...since the gadgets are waterproof, we could locate and reuse them. .."

" so. . . In either way. ..k. pattinum would be my choice. .."

     Mr. sivan  was happy to see an young talent in his field. ..

   " good points. ..then, let's begin. ..by tomorrow our  actual mission begins. .the day we accomplish our mission would be a red letter day in the space calender. ...jai hind. .."

     Everyone wished the same and they  were ready to indulge in with their new project. ..

------------------------------------------------------

    Shravan's suv crossed the first level security. ..He parked the vehicle and got down. ..Ranjith  stretched his arms as it had been a long drive. ..they're in casuals as per the instructions. ..

   Shravan looked the name board and read aloud. ..

"ISRO, HQ. ..Ranjith. ..I don't know what we had here to work with. ..let's see. .."

   He sighed ...unlike him Ranjith was getting ready for a selfie. ..

" dude. ..smile. ..in future, we may need this. .."

  He pulled shravan for a smile. ..and focused the name board as background. ..

   When they started to move ...

  " dude. ..I forgot my id in the car itself. ..wait let me get it. .."

  Ranjith rushed to the car. ..

Shravan checked his pocket and found that he had left his  mobile phone in car itself. ..

   By the time they got into the car. ..Suman  came there and stood  leaning at their car's  driver's side ..actually , the place was shady and she chose the  place to be a comfortable zone to wait for the cab. ..

   Shravan didn't notice her and opened the door...Suman was about to fall. ..

She managed herself to hold on. ..she turned at shravan swiftly. ..

" can't you see that I am standing here. .? Stupid. .."  she scolded him with enrage. ...

    As a commando, he never encountered those kind of humiliation that too from a girl. ..

He removed his sunglasses and stared her. ..

" hello miss. ..it's not my  fault. ..and who are you to scold me.? Don't  you have manners. ..you have been leaning on my car. .."

While talking he stepped down the car. ..

Suman lifted her head up  to an awkward angle to look his face. ...

' omg. ..cellphone tower. .i haven't  seen such a tall man. ..if he jumps little more, I guess he could pull the satellite by his hand itself. ..'

   She was awestruck to his height. ..this itself made her to keep quite. ..

    On the other hand, Ranjith got down and  had a top to toe look at suman. ..

   His jaw dropped to her beauty. ..

" wow. .."

  He said involuntarily. ..

He rushed to shravan 's side and convinced him. ..

" leave it dude. ..madam. .the fault is ours. ..we're so sorry. ..you can leave. ..don't get anything serious. ..okay. .."

He said with a much bigger smile. ..

  Suman threw a disgusted look at shravan. ..she turned to leave. ..

" Btw, your sweet name madam. .."

  She hasn't answered to Ranjith s eagerness. ..

She left as the cab arrived. ..

" Ranjith. ..stop flirting man. ..why you asked sorry. ..how rude. .?"

" dude. ..beautiful girls rude too seems to be gorgeous. ..actually, what happened. .?"

  Shravan threw a death glare at him. .

" I heard that the scientists would be old ... but it's not true it seems. ..I guess I gonna have a pleasant experience here. .she's really hot. .."

  Shravan  didn't bathered his blabber as he was got used to it. ..

They both got an easy entry at the main entrance. ..and got into the  hall with mixed feelings. ...
