Under the shade of the massive Banyan tree, on a raised platform, sat a boy as he waited for his class to begin. This boy was Kiran, the [Shishya] hopeful.

Do rate and review the story. “Hey! You! Wait up!” The girl turned to look back and then resumed walking at a faster pace. “Hey! You Know-it-all! Wait up!” That made the girl turn around and glower at the approaching boy. “What do you want? You foot-in-mouth!” The boy panted as he finally reached her. “Don’t call me that!” “Why …

When the creature woke up, the darkness of the night still reigned the sky.
