The Mysterious Organic Compound
#TheWritingProject
When my grandfather was alive every sunday i went to their house to listen stories. My grandfather was a retired chemistry professor of uttarpara College. He often told me the mysterious invention of his research fellow Dr. Krishnanku Mishra. On that age I could not understand what is research or what is invention but i got fun to listen Dr. Krishnanku's stories. In every story he gave me a brief introduction of Dr. Krishnaku's intelligence. Once he told me the mysterious organic compound which tried to killed Dr. Krishnanku. On this day he started his story to say that Dr. Krishnanku was a man of sharp intelligence. In 2007 he graduated from presidency college with a great marks. In 2009 He studied his masters from the University Of Calcutta. He also received PhD from University Of Calcutta at the age of 26. After joining as a guest lecturer in many places, he was appointed as assistant professor of RPM College at uttarpara. Though he got a job at uttarpara so he build a house at uttarpara and started to live with his wife. He took some research tools, acids(dilute) and bases in his house. Among us he was most skilled in chemistry . There was no organic reaction he didn't want to know about. Every organic compound is memorized in its entirety. The mechanism of all chemical reactions he kept it on the tip of his lips. Students also called him the 'Ship of chemistry'. Along with teaching in the college, he continued research. He invented above 20 types of organic molecules at the age of 40. He love peaceful place to do research so he made his own laboratory apart from the city of uttarpara. The lab was very big. It was devided in three floors. All types of indispensible acid,base,reagents and research tools was present in his lab. These were set up on there individual rack by innovative manner. He set their CCTV to avoid heist. He invited some researchers including me to do research in his laboratory. The laboratory was established at the bank of river ganga. And the road was not well constructed so there were no one wanted to visit. After a lot of talking Dr. Partha Tewari and Dr. Arnab Rathei were agreed. Then they started to research there. They used to return home together after completing their laboratory work before evening. Everything was going well. Then came the worst day of his life. Who knew that his passion for research would bring such great danger in his life. It was 28 july saturday it was 9 pm on the clock till Dr. Krishnanku had present in the 2nd floor of his research laboratory. Dr. Krishnanku was warming something in a Becker on the the bunsen burner and continuesly strring with a glass rod inside the Becker. Dr. Partha Tewari and Dr. Arnab Rathei were present with him. They had already completed their work. They were just watching his work. After few minutes of warming the colour of the compoud in becker was changed to dark blue. Dr. Krishnanku stop the burner. At this point of time Dr. Arnab asked 'how much time required to finish the experiment? I have already finished my work'. Dr. Krishnanka told them 'I would be late today. If you want to leave then you can.' Dr. Arnab asks him 'can you go alone?' Dr. krishnanku smiled and said them it was evening time and He was not afraid of ghosts. Then Dr. Arnab said him 'ok bye' and Dr. Partha also said 'bye' krishnanku and they left the laboratory.

Approximately one hour passed to finish the experiment. He cautiously took the final yeilded product in a hard glass test tube and put into the rack separately from other reagent and marked O-157 on the surface of test tube . After this Dr. Krishnanku took off his golves,appron and his experiment gloggls,put gently into his bag and went out from his libratory. He came down by stairs and reached his car which is placed in the parking area. He called one of his watch man Rampad and told him to lock the doorway. Dr. Krishnanku took his car and move on to the road by crossing the entrance. Ganges flows past the laboratory with its huge body. A clear portrait of the moon fall on the dark blue water of ganges and Krishnaku drove not very slowly. On the way suddenly he saw a shiny pink rays of light was reflected on the middle of the road. His intelligent brain was amazed for some time. Gradually he controlled the speed,stop the car before the shiny pink light. He came down from the car and reached to the shiny light on foot. He saw there was a pink colour solid crystal. After watching long time the crystal he said to himself it seemed like 'Hira of Pachabati'.He was confused to see it and thought that 'Hira of Pachabati' is very expensive compound and no one haven't permission to purches this organic compound so it is stolen? The matter which amazed him very much was that in contact with air 'Hira of Pachabati' should be blast after few seconds because it is a high serie metalic element, still it is shining. After some time he decided to take this to home. He returned his car and again came with ware his golve . With a little bend when he picked it up he listened a sudden scream 'stop'. Before understanding anything some one told him in a heavy voice 'put the crystal down'. He saw a wounded man in front of him. The man look at him like a monster the scralet boold emited with his head and mouth. The wounded man declared 'This is mine,i burned it '.Subconsciously he put it in his pocket and asked him 'who are you?','How can you get this?' But the man didn't give any answer he just told this is mine. Dr. Krishnanku again asked his question but this time he emerged a knife from his trouser. Dr. Jrishnanku got scared. He walked one step at a time without looking back. The man was coming forward with the knife. The man reached him in one leap in a twinkle of an eye. Dr. Krishnanku tried to run but he couldn't. The wounded man tried to snatched it and he said that gave it to me i wanted to destroy it. Dr. Krishnanku gathered all the strength in his body and somehow managed to escape from his invade. He was able to reach his car. He quickly entered it. When he was about to close the door, the man came and grabbed the door. The man tried to enter in the car. But Dr. Krishnanku kicked on his tummy with sitting in the car. The man fell face down on the road. With the help of this opportunity Dr. krishnanku immediately closed the door and moved his car to forward direction. The man screamed and said 'It will do the same to you as it killed my family and wounded me'. Dr. Krishnanku couldn't understand his words. He just ran away there.

It was at 12:30pm Dr. Krishnanku reached his home. Like everyday watchman opened the frontdoor. Park the car on entering the house he saw his wife sleeping with her head on the table. He give a little push to her back. His wife woke up. With sleepy eyes she hummingly asked 'why you are so late today?' He could not tell her what happened that day. He didn't want his wife to think about this matter. He just say i was busy with my new research. I ate after some time you might eat now. At 1st floor his house there was a room separated from other some acid base was present in this room. He entered the room with this compound. He took out the compound from his trouser. He again observed it very carefully. This time he saw some wee words written on this. He could barely read them,, It was written on it that if anyone wanted to harm it, his shadow would kill him. After read this, his interest in the compound increased. Then he started his work. First he broke off a small piece from its body and take it on the a table. He tested its solubility in normal water, acid and base. He saw it could not soluble in any one. Suddenly some one called him by his name at heavy voice 'Dr. Krishnanku'. Dr. Krishnanku truned round but he could not found anyone there. He was surprised and asked who? The answer came, I am the organic compound which you have collected from the road. Then his eyes went to that compound. The compound suddenly started to float. Krishnanku asked the compound are you alive? How can you talk?' Compound said in reply, 'I don't know my name. I was made in 1941 by a British scientist. I have some abilities these are i can fly, i can talk, i can make clones of humans. The british scientist who was my creator, commanded if anyone harm me, then make a clone like him and kill him with the help of this clone. These quality of mine he saw to his colleagues. His colleagues saw this groundbreaking discovery. They were very jealous to see me. They killed my honorable creator and snatched me from him. I could not bear this tragic end, I killed his colleagues. Now you tried to hurt me and Damages my owner's discovery. You will be punished.' Then the brightness of the compound started to increase . Dr. Krishnanku could not tolerate it. He tried to hide her eyes with his elbow. Then the rays of light decreased a lot. And when he opened his eyes, he saw someone who looked exactly like him standing in front of him. But his eyes are completely black. He rushed towards Dr. Krishnanku and grabbed his throat. Dr. Krishnanku went to scream but he couldn't,his eyes slowly closed and he fell down on the floor.

After three consecutive days of unconsciousness, Dr. Krishnanku opened his eyes in the hospital. The police arrested his wife for his condition. A few days later he was in a position to speak.
He recounted all the events of that day in front of police. None of the doctors and police wanted to believe him. But as per his word, the police went to the place where he was attacked by the injured man They found blood on the road. The inspectors were not satisfied with this evidence. So the police investigate to his house where he was researching with the compound. Strangely police nothing could be found this type of sample but the glass of the wind of this house was broken. The inspectors were fully confused. They could not understand what should be the next step of this case.
