Sanakiyar is riding his bike very fast, his usually calm face shows little excitement. He couldn't believe what he has just found out. The breathtaking green palace came to his view with its 6 floors and each covered in plants, flowers and fruits.
Every building on his planet Puvi is a green building but the green palace is the most beautiful and eco-friendly project. Every worker's idea was considered and given thought and the best ideas were executed. It is a perfect blend of technology and nature.
He reached the gate of the green palace and it opened automatically once the sensor scanned and identified him. He couldn't see any securities as usual and he proudly thought about his utopian planet, their ancestors have achieved. He can see the green beds on both sides, the fresh air, the scent of flowers the wind carried to him. He thought how much blessed they are.
He reached the front door and looked at the iris scanner, once his identity is verified, the door opened automatically. His arrival is announced to the king and queen by the recorded voice. He saw King Mara and queen Medhina coming towards him.
"Welcome Sanakiya, we were waiting for you", said Mara in his deep voice. Sanakiya bowed in front of Mara and said, "shall we go to some closed place and talk?"
Mara nodded and took Sanakiyar and Medhina to sathiyakooda (discussion room). Sathiyakooda looked beautiful with pillars covered in vines. And he could see vegetables growing on it.
Sathiyakooda is filled with pictures of previous kings, queens and masterminds. Sanakiya is aware that his picture will occupy one wall after his death and felt proud of it.
They sat in their respective chairs and were quiet for a moment. A maid came with cool buttermilk for them. Once she served it, Mara asked her not to let anyone inside unless told otherwise.
"Yes Sanakiya, tell us what you find?", Said Mara with a mix of curiosity and nervousness in his voice. One could say his eyes were full of questions and he was trying his best to be in control.
Sanakiya waited for a minute, which seemed like hours for Medhina. She was also tensed like Mara but kept her cool outside.
"I am always proud of what our ancestors have achieved on this planet", started Sanakiyar.
"We have established a utopian planet and achieved a life which is full of bliss. Ours is an ideal lifestyle anyone could want for. And like you," looking at the king, he continued, "I too want to take this to next level, next planet. But I was sure, we can't achieve it without bloodshed." He paused for a minute.
Mara and Medhina looked at each other and looked at Sanakiyar. Sanakiyar looked at them with hope in his eyes and said with pride, " But I find out, your grandson/granddaughter is going to rule the entire universe as God".

On earth, in India, in Tamilnadu, in a small tennis court, the ball was going back and forth. A short, dusky girl on one side and a tall boy on another side. It is clear that the girl is leading and it is the last service ball and yeah, she won the match.
On their way back, Raghu asked her, "If you have chosen tennis, then you might be next to Sania Mirza. Why didn't you Kayal?"
"Because I chose music and I don't want to do multitasking ", smiled Kayal
"Why did you choose music?", interrogated Raghu
"I like music, I want my creation to help people. I want to compose music which heals people's wounds", replied Kayal.
They reached the parking and Kayal looked at her friend right from the day she could remember, Raghu and said, "come home for lunch, mom is making biriyani!".
"Aunty already texted me, I will go, take bath and come straight to your home", replied Raghu with an animated expression.
Laughing at his behaviour, Kayal waved him bye and started her scooty.

On Earth, in Newyork, Beth is having a late night in her SpaceX office. She is trying to derive some formulas to increase the speed of a rocket with less fuel consumption.
Her phone vibrated and she saw her boyfriend Randall smiling on the display, she doesn't have time for this now. She knew that he is calling to resolve the fight or to continue yesterday's fight.
Her burger reached her desk, she took a bite analysing her work. Randall occupied her mind making her lose focus.
It's been 3 years since she and Randall are together. They are in love for almost 2 years now. Randall is the best thing that happened to her. She could still remember their first meet. The way Randall came to her and asked her whether he can sit next to her at her colleague's party. She immediately got attracted to his contagious smile. Later she got to know that Randall is a lawyer in a big firm and unlike her who grew in foster homes, he is from a big family.
Her phone vibrated again bringing her back to reality. It's Randall again. Her finger swiped the green dial on her phone.

On Puvi, Ray was walking along the corridor of the green palace. The morning felt more peaceful and he felt happiness from within which won't happen often.
He enjoyed going out and spread his white angelic wings and take a flight in a day like this. He wanted to fly high today as the climate was soothing.
Suddenly, he felt a vibration in his hand and it's his smartwatch. He could see his dad smiling in the display, he swiped right and took his hand near his mouth. "Come to sathyakoodam Ray", Mara's voice insisted.
He was in sathyakoodam after 5 minutes and saw his father Mara, his stepmother Medhina and advisor Sanakiyar.
Something didn't felt right to Ray. He could see greed and hope in their eyes. He just wanted to turn and go away. But he stepped forward.
Mara came forward, putting his hand on Ray's shoulder, he said, "you are going to make me proud, son". Ray understood that something is wrong indeed.
