For about a year, Akshat and Avantika hang out together a lot and even share lots of heartwarming moments but when they reached in 2nd standard.. her parents gets a tranfer certificate to a remote area and after that they didn't see each other...
Avantika had a deep scar in her soul after the kidnapping incident but because of him, the scar is completely healed and Akshat has successfully became the source if light in her darkest hours.
But who become Akshat's guardian angel??
After getting seperated from her, Akshat found a peace in his heart praying for her better future but at the end moment he realize the little girl he has once saved from bandits is grown now.
But Akshat didn't grow an inch, his heart remains heavy and shattered but he still make himself calm and peacefull and digest all his sorrow.
After their departure, Akshat doesn't have any such motive to attend his classes, he somehow thinks that the level of subjects is not worth it to be learn, instead Akshat has developed quite a good intrest in history and geography of the planet earth.
So at the end he has bunked about half of time of his academic year from 3rd to 5th standard😅
After bunking so much classes he has realized that this is not about academics but about living a good life and make a lot of friends.
But that's only the starting of a peak story🙌
______________
[Year 2018]
Akshat has reached in 6th standard and that's a completely diffrent experience and a new transfer student enters at the first day of the class.
Divyanshi pashish
Or we can say her popular nickname Divyu.
At her first day she become popular among boys and Akshat's benchmate Nayan has a attraction towards her.
Akshat being a intelligent person didn't show his intrest at all but something clicks in his mind..... maybe a mild attraction towards her.
Akshat: hey Nayan, can you tell me why are we sitting in the girl's row? And why specifically behind the new girl whom you like?
Nayan: oh bro, thats the technique to talk to any girl.
Akshat: do whatever the hell you want with that girl... Just don't grab me in any of these issues
Nayan: whatever😮💨 looks like your childhood trauma still remains in your heart
Akshat: get the f*:k out of my face.
At the recess
Nayan: Hey, Divyanshi. You free for a minute?
Divyanshi: Yeah, what's up?
Nayan: I noticed you always finish your assignments early. How do you manage your time so well?
Divyanshi: (slightly surprised) Uh… I plan everything. Makes things less stressful.
Nayan: That explains a lot. I've been struggling with that. Thought I'd learn from the expert.
Divyanshi: (smiles) Expert is a big word. But I can share a few tips if you want.
Nayan: I'd like that. Actually, I was thinking… maybe we could study together sometime. Might help me stay focused.
Divyanshi: That sounds reasonable. When?
Nayan: Maybe after classes, at the library. If you're comfortable with that.
Divyanshi: Yeah, that works.
Nayan: Great. Also, I read your short story in the your previous school's magazine. It was well-written. You explain emotions clearly without overdoing it.
Divyanshi: (genuinely pleased) Thanks. That means a lot.
Nayan: You seem good at understanding people. That's a rare skill.
Divyanshi: You're quite observant.
Nayan: I try to be. It helps in… choosing the right company.
Divyanshi: (slight pause, then small smile) I'll take that as a compliment.
Nayan: You should. So, library tomorrow?
Divyanshi: Tomorrow. Don't be late.
Nayan: I won't.
(Nayan reached to Akshat hidden near a flower pot)
Nayan: see and learn you newbie, that's how you can get a girl.
Akshat: (shows middle finger and leaves towards his home)
Akshat in his home thinking "Huh, why can't other people think the way i am"
(in his mind):
Power… what exactly is it? Strength? Authority? Or the ability to protect what matters?
I've always been weak. Not just physically — in decisions, in courage, in standing up for myself.
If I become powerful, no one will control my fate. No one will decide my limits for me.
But power isn't given. It's taken. Earned. Built through pain, discipline, and sacrifice.
Am I ready for that?
(pause)
Yes. Because staying weak hurts more than any struggle ever could🐧.
