A new beginning

The Rolls-Royce Phantom car on the pinpoint road doesn't bother Kalyan about his thoughts as he and Kala and his parents leave the college. He's the cute little child who fantasized about curling up in the muddy earth and asking his mother for one chance to go out and mingle with nature. He hasn't been in his bungalow in over two years, but his childhood dream is a dream even now. He still remembers the days when he was eager to go out and play with other kid but they all are scared, people around his keep respecting him for his wealth and prosperous. In this college he got his real baddies whose memories will be with him for rest of his life.

Kalyan still has his untold story with him, Kala has no option to be separated from him, and he calms down his emotions. Kala, who is sitting next to Jaya, get down from the car in front of her house, Kala requests Kalya's family to come inside the house, but they smoothly reject her offer and move on. Kalyan watches her face in the rearview mirror; she is a long distance away from him, which is uncomfortable. The automobile horns, a young couple riding their bikes across the road, a medley of music playing in the background, he doesn't notice a single thing around him, but her voice reverberates in his ears. They enjoy the intense aroma of roadside champa trees, which is incomparable to the natural fragrance of Kala. The landscape is breathtaking, with the small curved road on one side and the waves of the sea on the other which is not so beautiful for Kalyan now.

The car enters the bungalow premises, and crowd awaits Kalyan's arrival. Everyone rushes around him and wishes him well with bouquets and garlands, as if he is a huge achiever, which could be due to his wealth. Kalyan is utterly uncomfortable in this situation, he quickly goes into the home, where his mother requests them to leave him alone. She just recalls the occasion when Kalyan was born and people came to meet him at the bungalow.

Jaya and Prathap had been accustomed to the villagers' celebrations of every good occasion, but Kalyan does not want to stay outside the crowd and celebrate every minor event.

He's sitting at his favourite spot at night, gazing at the stars and the moon. Although it appears to be easygoing from the outside, the inside renovation is so systematized, different planets move in a particular order, each with an adequate mass for self-gravity, no planet produce light but one and only sun really produce light. He is standing in a casual clothing in a corner of the semi-shaded terrace room, has a specific flow of energy with everyone in his life, and passes a ray of hope to everyone he is associated with.

Jaya approaches him while he is staring at the sky.

"Finally, you got what you wanted, what you asked me when you were a child, isn't it Kalyan?" Jaya says cheerfully, she is pleased with Kalyan's arrival.

"I wanted to get out of this house; I imagined that it would be a human fight to beautify this lovely world; I hunted to be a part of this nature. It is essential to be aware of all the sufferings in human life, I really wanted to feel the true agony of human beings." Kalyan is stoic.

"Your college campus is just a replica of this house where students of high profile study where you have minimal access to the real world. Life is full of surprises for everyone, you have just now started your journey, who knows what is waiting for you." Jaya clarifies.

"Mom I want to see the real world, feel every human feeling, and discover the true joy of life; please ask Dad on my behalf." Kalyan is thrilled and Jaya accepts Kalyan's request.
