4.Spoiled the report

Though Sterling yelled, Kensing neither uttered a word nor gave an apologetic look. He was standing firm. After a while, he said, "this is just a useless report containing only just basics of genetic engineering. It has many mistakes. It doesn't meet the standards of a report that is to be submitted by a graduate in an interview. If you have doubts regarding it, you can refer to the markings I made on the report."

After listening to his words, both of them were speechless.They gave him a shocked look. Then Aanya finally spoke, "do you know the standards of Sterling. She is very clever. I think you made a mistake in analysing the report. Moreover how do you know about bio technology?"

When Sterling was about to say something, a caller tune played suddenly. It was Aanya's mobile. She answered the call and came to know that the customer was waiting for her at the construction site and asked her to come fast. When she said about the call, Kensing moved out casually as if nothing happened.

Then Aanya apologised on behalf of Kensing. Sterling said, "forget about it. You don't have to apologize for the mistake done by your assistant. I will recheck the report and correct the mistakes. Don't worry about me. Go and complete your work." Then Aanya said with a sad look that she will leave.

Then they both hugged each other and bid farewell to each other. When Aanya left the house, Sterling moved to occupy the chair at the study table to make the report again.

Soon Aanya and Kensing left the house and Sterling busied herself in reading the spoiled report to see the mistakes he has marked on it.

On their way to construction site,Aanya asked him about the report. Then he said, "I have already said about it. There is nothing to speak about it further." After saying this he busied himself in analysing the report on the construction and didn't speak anything further.

Even Aanya remained silent as she adjusted herself to his behaviour. After a few minutes, they reached the site, met the customer and talked regarding the construction. It went smoothly.

After the meeting with the customer, Kensing arrived home. He met his friend, who was writing something by sitting on the sofa in living room. Both sat together and shared what they learnt today.

Then suddenly Kensing changed his expressions and started saying, "Today Aanya took me to her friend. She is a daughter of a scientist. I saw many pictures in her house which were hanging on the wall. They are the photos which we received through the signal and our scientists came to know about this planet. We are born only because of these photos. Do you remember them?"

Actually, when Kensing entered Sterling's house, he saw some photos of different species, buildings etc... which looked familiar. On keen observation, he discovered that they are the same photos which shocked the aliens an year ago on his planet, P. So he took some photos of them secretly in his mobile.

When Edwin saw the photos, he looked closely and said, "yes, I think they are same photos. So her father might be the one who sent the signal to know about our existence. Did you ask her anything about this issue and the photos?"

Kensing replied, "I thought of asking but something happened and I had no choice to speak about it." Then he narrated everything about the incident.

After thinking for a while, Edwin said, "You try to know more about this and the status of the research on aliens. If there is anything important, let's inform our officials in our planet. Then he can guide us what to do further."

Edwin continued, "we don't know the humans knowledge on genetic engineering. So don't try to point out the mistakes and change the theories in that field based on our knowledge. It may raise the suspicions about us. Be careful when you deal with such circumstances later."

Kensing agreed and they continued doing their chores and preparing the report and learning more on their respective fields through books, internet etc... and also discussed about the photos and what to do with them.
