The room with white walls in the big hospital can be seen by the visitor. The room has different machinery with the tubes which are connected to the patient who has been lying in bed for a few months now.
“How is he now, doctor?”

“He is recovering, according to the latest reports we can expect him to wake up soon enough.” 

While conversation was going on between doctor and visitor, the said patient was stirring subconsciously.
“Ahim! Ahim!! Come here pie, don't go alone in there, it’s not safe. And you still don’t know how to defend. So come back right now’. His mother was chasing him. 
“Ma, why are we not like others?”, a five year old ahim asked his mother. “Do you like flowers, pie? Are they all the same? We are  like flowers too. Different but beautiful, we have our own uniqueness Ahi.” explained the Ma. 

Suddenly voices of his mother were fading away, now there were voices he had never heard. They were talking about someone, someone who might be ill. Apart from that he could also hear the sounds of beep beep. What are these sounds? Where are they coming from? Wait, where is he? This doesn't seem to be his room, hell it doesn't even feel like he knows this place. Ahim tried to open his eyes, it was becoming difficult for him to open his eyes, he started to get up but his legs weren’t moving either. What the hell happened to him? Finally he was able to move his fingers. 

Doctor saw movement of the patient's finger. He tried calling out to him,
“Mr. don’t move too fast, you need to take it slow.”
Ahim heard someone telling him to move slowly, he tried to follow instructions. Slowly and steadily he was able to open his eyes as well as move his fingers. As  he opened his eyes the sudden hit of lights made it hard for him to see, slowly he adjusted to light and after that  all he could see was that he was lying on bed in an unknown room, a room with white walls and there were different tubes attached to his body. What happened to me? Ahim tried asking but only air left his mouth.
“You were in a serious accident, young man, So better you take it slow.”
Ahim heard the person with white coat tell him. Who was another person with a doctor he wondered. And soon enough he got the answer, “Hello Mr. I know you don't know me, but I'm the one who got you here. My name is Rajvansh.”
Turning to the doctor Mr. Rajvansh asked , “Can we talk for a minute, doc?” “ya sure, let's talk outside and leave the young man here to rest.”
“When can you discharge him, doc?”  “Maybe after a week, we will keep him under observation till then.”

“Will there be any side effects on him? Will he be fine?”
“We will need to do a few tests, I hope it should be fine though if we go by the details provided by your daughter.” 
“Should we tell him everything? I am not completely sure about telling him everything yet.”
Even after they were out of the room Ahim could hear them, he always had that ability.

From their talks he felt that there was something which was hidden from him, as if doctor and mr. Rajvansh knew something which he didn't know but what was it. And how come he is in this place, last he remembers, he was in Andaman. As he sat there his attention drifted from the talks of Mr. Rajvansh and the doctor and he started reminiscing about his life, the life that he knew.
