Ananya is really happy and excited to join this climate. She was so curious about the college and her new friends. She is walking near the corridor alone and enjoys being herself.
"Ananya, do you know the secret of Neha?" Nila asks
"You scared me.....what! I don't know."
"She is the one who stepped in between you and Arjun in 10th class. Do you remember?"
"Yeah,but she is changed so much now."
"Yes, she changed herself now for Arun. So be careful with her."
"what?"
"Every one changes with time Ananya."
"Nila, you know everything and you are my hidden helper. " Nila and Ananya laughs.

Arun is a multi talented and brilliant boy. He lives alone with his dog Toco. Once in a year his uncle comes to visit him. Vinay and Deva are the childhood friends of him, they are very close, kind and supportive .'In every one's life there would be many suprises but in my life the only surprise I want to see is my father and mother', it is the quotation he has written in his diary. He is very brave, calm but active.
13 days before they got admitted into the University.
Arun is very happy to know his marks that he can easily get into University of Divine Arts and Sciences. He is getting ready to go to temple and turned off all the lights, stepped outside to lock the door.
"ARUN....." he heard a voice, barely a whisper, smoothly through the darkness.
"Who? Who is inside?" He bravely opened the door, still his name is whispering by someone.
"TOCO....."
"Do you hear my words?"
"Toco, how can you talk?" Arun was filled with fear for the first time.
Toco transformed into his real self. Arun is in still shock.
"Hi Arun, I am Rishi, Lord of Birds and the Ruler of the Sky." Silence maintained for some time. Arun don't know how to react to this situation but he reacted coolly without any emotion, as if he knows it happen.
"Hi ! Who are you? Why are you here?" Arun asks out of curiosity.
"Haa....I have told you."
"So, why are you here?"
"From where should I start. Hmm...first with coffee. Get me some coffee."
"What....? Do you think I am telling a joke to you?"
"Be cool Arun, I don't think you are this furious. Just do what I say."
Arun go into the kitchen angrily. He don't know what is happening and eager to know what's going on. He has so many questions in his mind and preparing coffee and thought of something.
"Haa..now I got you, you are a magician,right. You are here to prove your magic. Yes correct I have seen you near the restaurant."
"What? Stop, your foolish assumptions and where is my coffee?"
"Coffee, I forgot. Wait I will get it."
"Hush... I thought you are smart but you are too stupid!" he told to himself.
"Then tell me who are you?" asks by giving coffee to him.
"I told you I am Rishi." replies smoothly by taking a sip.
He completes his coffee and take the cup into the kitchen, washes it.
"Ha, let me show you something Arun." tells Arun by keeping the cup in the cupboard.
He takes his wrist watch and does something.
"What are you doing?"
"Ok I will tell you, I am your secret messenger and I am trying to see what should I do next. If I am true there is another one like me who is having this wrist watch."
"So, you are my secret messenger and given no messages."
"From now I will be your real messenger and traveller. This watch gives the message, so that we can do according to it."
"Okay,what should I do with it now?"
"Do you really want to know where your parents are?"
"Yes...I just want to see them once."
"So,do accordingly."
"What should we do now?"
"First, we should repair this watch."
"Okay, let's go."
They went to nearby repair shop but none of them could repair it.
"What should we do now?"
"I have got an idea. There is someone having this watch, if we got them we can know the solution."
"Okay! Who is it?"
"Actually, I don't know. We should find her also."
"So, she is a girl."
"Don't know."
"You know nothing but came to me to tell where my parents are?"
"I really know nothing but I know something you don't know."
"Don't try to manipulate me."
"What's your problem Arun? Why should I beg you for something you want? There is something big that even I don't know about it.I am just working as per our rules, can't you understand. Okay, I think your are not able to understand now. Take your own time, if you trust me come and see me."
"Ha..., I think I will never trust you again."
"Okay, that's your wish. If you really want to see me, call me once."
He disappeared suddenly as he also don't want to see him again. Arun burned with anger and want to forget about this so,he went to temple so that he can have some peace.
