In the shadowed depths of the hunting forest, every rustle of leaves felt like a predator’s breath. The air was thick with anticipation, the silence broken only by the crack of a twig underfoot. Eyes sharp, heart pounding, something fierce and unseen, lurking just beyond the trees.
A small boy, aged five, comes near the tree and sees a dreadful incident.
A calf elephant suffers from a deadly wound. The sound of calf makes the surroundings worse and ruins midnight silence. The boy sees the calf dying. He can't do anything which he wants to do. Calf dies. Small boy tries to cover the calf with mud, he throws mud at the calf and tries to burry, but the quietly soul doesn't know the process of burrying. After some moments, the boy says his name to the dead calf, "My name is Aathreya, soon you will be going to your mother".

After the murder, he sees and takes a small paper which is found at the criminal's pocket, and reads it. It contains "I'm Aathreya, soon you will be going to your mother".

The two persons asks what was the problem, why is he going to seek help., and then Aathreya again replies, my grandfather is in a serious condition, he is dead, so to save him, I'm going to seek help.
The two persons looks so much confused and again questions him thinking he is mentally not stabled person, "How your grandfather died?" Aathreya replies, "Just because of some internet lag, he cannot afford some breads to eat, then he went for a mile to walk to get bread from trees and he fell down from stairs which is situated at the mountain peak" Again the two persons interrogated him with confusion, "Oh ok, will he write letter to you after going to god?" Aathreya replied casually, "He is the god! He will throw the letter from up and I'll catch them". "Catch them?" Overwhelmed the second man, continues, "Can you say to god that will he make this rainforest a sun forest?". Aathreya again replied casually, "There is no one called god". The men again, they broke their heads and started to speak with Aathreya. First man continues, "Then how will you call your grandfather?" Aathreya again replies, "Aathreya, because his name and my name are same. And I'm the god because my name is Aathreya."
The two men starts to leave the place, but Aathreya doesn't leaves them. Holding them and says, "From today, I'm naming this place as sunforest". The first man starts to tease Aathreya, "What happened, no sun is coming, only rain is pouring like stone, mental basket."

News reporter starts to record the most priceless audio ever. The sound of wood. "As the wood rates are growing day by day as the rate of water, this museum owner made this ossum expensive Heritage exploration" the news reporter says in an amazed voice, as she saw and touched the wood for a first time. And, again she continues to speak, "The chief guest who is coming to inaugurate this event is, Mr. Mutti Chutti, the best Wood sculptor in the alien universe.

Are you confused? The actual story starts now...
On 7th March, 1907. A peaceful Village. At Night.
The cracker's sound disturbs the villagers and prevents them to sleep. But no one goes out and stop the younsters to burst crackers. Because, they are opening a sculpture of their village panchayat head, Mr. Viveagham, inaugurating tomorrow morning. A small note is, the order of sculpture assembly is given by the head of village panchayat, Mr. Viveagham.
So, the village younsters are forced to celebrate this night and the villagers are forced to shut-up their mouth and sleep because, the sound of people's snore will disturb the statue of Mr. Viveagham.
Morning arrives and all the people comes to the centre of their village as the inauguration of the statue ceremony is going to take place. And another note, people are not coming for their village panchayat head, they are coming to open their shops for to earn money to spend again on the next style statue of Mr. Viveagham.
A bus comes to the village bus stand, and many people leaves the bus, including a man. The man comes out of the bus and goes to the hotel to drink free water instead of spending his Rs.10 for drinking water on a general store.
He drank all the water and leaves the hotel. The hotel owner stares at him and comments to his hotel workers, "A man came as same like Viveagham to our village, I don't know how we are going to survive here". The man goes to a government school and registers himself as a teacher. Yes, a teacher came to work at this village for salary, not for children. The man sees an old female teacher, but starts to talk with a young teacher, of course, a female young teacher.
The man:- Good evening mam, why no students turned up to school today?
Female young teacher:- Oh because, today is the inauguration of our Viveagham sir's statue, so he made this day as leave to children. By the way, who are you?
The man:- My name is Aathreya. The new teacher for this Government school. And which subject did he take, that Viswasam or Viveagham sir?
Female young teacher:- No, he is our village panchayat head. Here goes the vehicle of Mr. Viveagham. I'm going to the inauguration of his statue, see you afterwards.
Aathreya:- (speaks to his soul, "thank god") Oh is it, I'm also coming to see the inauguration of our panchayat head’s statue, with you, can I?
Female young teacher:- Ok.
They cross the roads together, mountains together, walks together and reaches the centre of the village.
Aathreya:- By the way, which subject is taught by you mam? I forgot to ask as we are speaking with a best sync.
Female young teacher:- Oh, I'm just a non-teaching staff here in this Government school! My job is to clean the school's washrooms.
Aathreya:- Holycow!
Female young teacher:- Don't see the face our village panchayat head, its same as like that only.
Aathreya:- No, not for his face.,
Female young teacher:- Yes, I can understand, don't see his statue face too. Disgusting.
Aathreya:- Ok, leave it. Where is Mr. Viveagham? I want to ask him to first educate lovely, sorry, girls…
Female young teacher:- There, who walks slowly with a stick, like a turtle.
Aathreya:- Oh, Viveagham, I can understand why he is walking like turtle.
Female young teacher:- Ok bye, I just came here to eat some snacks, do you want one?
Aathreya:- No no, eat it by yourself…
Aathreya leaves the place with a bad mood. But the panchayat head sees him and stops him by calling him as "7 feets". Aathreya sees him and stops. The supporters of Viveagham comes and takes Aathreya near to Mr. Viveagham.
Mr. Vivegham:- (Shouts) Hey 7 feet! Who are you man? Like a terrorist coming and going? Tell, where did you keep the bomb? You are a supporter of opposite party know! I'll die for my people here without any pain, (Surrounding people starts to shout, praising Mr. Viveagham). Ok, tell who are you? Where did you keep the bomb? I'll die for my people (Again people shouts and praises Mr. Viveagham)
Aathreya:- (Frightened voice) Sir, I'm the new teacher came to educate children, sent by Government. And I'm your great supporter…
Mr. Vivegham:- Oh, Government, then ok. (Laughs) (Surrounding people starts to laugh seeing Mr. Viveagham's face) (Whispers) Actually, I called you for taking the rope to untie our party's flag, because no one here is gained that much height as you, 7 feet. It’s our culture to follow that before any auspicious moments, opening our party's flag. So, can you help me by taking and untie the rope? But you should not open the flag, I should. Clear?
Aathreya:- Clear sir!
Aathreya gives the rope to Mr. Viveagham and leaves the place.
The neighboring folks starts to dance and sing in the streets and enjoys their life about 30 minutes for an unknown reason.
At night of the rural area, a massive theft happens, the teacher Aathreya takes a one rupee note which lies down near the temple of God. He sees all the sacred anointing and gives no reaction and takes the new, fresh 1 rupee note. But he doesn’t knows that the bearer of the rupee note is Mr. Viveagham, and he gifted the rupee note to temple as he opened his statue today, as an offering… just one rupee...
In the Forest, night. 07/03/1907
The police officer comes home and eats his favorite food made by his mother. Suddenly an explosion sound comes from outside and he turns his neck towards his house window to look outside. He sees a ghost.
He blinks his eyes so much that his eyes time travelled to multiverse and saw the future like he is dying. As soon as possible, the police officer takes his gun from the table and starts to aim at the ghost, but the ghost disappears. He calls his mother, but no response. He goes to a high-strain state and shouts, "MOM, MAA, MAAAAAA" But again no response. In an inch of seconds, the ghost comes inside the house of police officer without inviting. The gun of police officer turns into a bit of paper, by his fear. He comes to the corner of his house but he forgets to take a pen to write, as he always borrows pen from his friends for writing. As the ghost comes near him, he scratches his index finger in a nearby sharp object and starts to write a short letter with his bleeding blood to his mother stating, "Can you submit the evidence which I bought today, to court", but he changes his mind and rewrites in the another bit of paper like, "You are the best cook in the world, Amma, Thank you for all". The police officer dies due to Thanatophobia, also known as Death Anxiety. No ghosts are involved in his death.
On 8th March, 1907. The Peaceful Village, morning.
The report of the policeman’s killing comes across the people of "Naange Jeichiduvom" peaceful village. Aathreya hears this and laughs at school while teaching to students. As soon this issue goes to Mr. Viveagham, he forgets, and start to discuss about his other styles and trends. But as soon as Mr. Viveagham hears his offering has been stolen, he takes the murder of policeman issue seriously as they should identify the culprit who stole his offering, and goes to visit the peaceful Naange Jeichiduvom village.

Mr. Viveagham arranges a village meeting and starts to ask who was the killer who killed the policeman. All villagers, school teachers, sellers and buyers stayed still, but by the height, as Aathreya is 6.5 feet, he was clearly seen by Mr. Viveagham at a far distance and been called by the panchayat head.
Mr. Viveagham:- (Speaks to Aathreya) Why do you killed the police officer? Why? I'll give my life to my people, if any dangers occurs…
Aathreya:- Excuse me sir, I know the reason why you selected me, I'm the only height person in this whole village now, is it?
Mr. Viveagham:- So, you are the killer! Why do you killed him, I'll sacrifice my life to my people, if any dangers occurs.
Aathreya:- Oh, then if no dangers occurs?
Mr. Viveagham:- I'll not sacrifice my life to them.
Aathreya:- So, you are not a good panchayat head. The good head should protect their people from all dangers, including all dangers.
Mr. Viveagham's face changes and whispers to Aathreya.
Mr. Viveagham:- (Whispers) Brother brother, are we enemies? No no no, we're friends, so do you have any idea about who killed the police officer?
Aathreya:- Sir, first of all, why are you interested about his life, the policeman's life is over so leave it. No gain and only time waste. Do you have any reason to find the killer?
Mr. Viveagham:- (Whispers to Aathreya) Actually brother, some village baskets, stole my offering to god. It is wrong know! So, to find that, I should make sure that these police officers are working properly. So only I'm acting like helping them. (Laughs)
Aathreya:- Oh is it. How much rupees did you offered to God?
Mr. Viveagham:- (with pride and prestige) ₹1, that too new and fresh rupee note given to temple organization with the sacred anointing products plate.
Aathreya face reaction turns upside down.
Mr. Viveagham:- Brother, please help me to get my ₹1 note, that's my offering to God. No one have rights to loot it. Then all the positive notions of mine will be done to that criminal.
Aathreya:- Ok, at first we need to find the killer of the policeman... (Changes the talk)
Aathreya comes to know that Mr. Viveagham is searching for him and also asking help to the same person.
Mr. Viveagham:- Ok brother, what's your name?
Aathreya goes panicking and just says a word by seeing a shop cutout, "My name is Jeicha Jeichika". Mr. Vivegham and all the neighboring folks stares Aathreya shockingly. Suddenly the cutout seen by Aathreya, teares into pieces. Aathreya stares at the cutout and the surrounding people stares at Aathreya.

Aathreya turns out and sees the whole village spreaded with fire. He stands stun and can't do anything. He sees many people running for their lives and remembers that he too have a life, so to save it, he starts to run without closing his door, without taking anything with him.
Aathreya helps every single person whoever he meets, who wants help from him.
After some minutes of fighting with fire, they stopped the raged fire and all the villagers stands in lack of interest to live, seeing all their houses are burned and all their savings for life are paired with smoke.
Mr. Viveagham comes to the spot by his car and worries about the situation.
Mr. Viveagham:- (Irritated tone) I'm going to kill the man who did this to my people.
Aathreya:- Excuse me sir, we have no time to kill the person, in fact, it can be a play of nature also. Many people are suffering now due to it.
Mr. Viveagham:- No problem, the man or thing, who or which did this to my people, should face the consequences…
Aathreya:- (Shouts) SIR, Eagle chooses peace, so only it flies higher than the other flock of birds.
Mr. Viveagham's facial expression shifts and does the thing which he said these days by mouth.
He gives his car to the people who are affected by the fire, to go to hospital. He also arranges many travels and accommodation to the village people who are only believing him. Aathreya forgets the incident of which he stole the ₹1 note, and helps all the people. Humanity grows.
Aathreya sits near Mr. Viveagham who sat beneath a tree. Mr. Viveagham was depressed after seeing all the terrors. Mr. Viveagham starts to talk with Aathreya.
On 7th March, 2107. Palace of Tender Coconut. Night's peak.
Police officials comes to the Tender coconut palace and tries to find the cold-blooded criminal.
Police official:- Here, we don't have brain to just finish this simple case. Before two or one and half centuries, we have perfect idealogy masters who completed the most complicated cases like Leo Parker, and some more, within just 3 years. But we are trying to find the woodcutter for past three days.
Constable:- Sir actually we need some more time to get into the flow of this case. So, can we use again the AI to make some guess, who are involved in this murder of coconuts?
Police official:- (Stares at the finest girls around the palace) Hmm, I like that girl.
Constable:- I also like that girl sir, same pitch.
The two police officials ignores the given work and sees around the area, and they find one clue on a wood log which was cut down by the cold-blooded person.

Aathreya:- Yes.
Doctor:- I'm calling the securities.
Aathreya:- I'm free, speak with me, don't call them and speak to them.
Doctor:- You!, ok. Why I should do your dishes?
Aathreya:- If you're a doctor,
Doctor:- Hmm,
Aathreya:- Me a patient,
Doctor:- Hmm,
Aathreya:- Doctor should wash their own stuffs,
Doctor:- Hmm, yes.
Aathreya:- Patient should wash his stuffs.,

Doctor rises suddenly in disbelief. Aathreya removes his mask and shows his face to him for second proof.
Aathreya:- Where is my ID card?
Doctor:- (Frightening voice) Here, here is it. What are you going to do now? Please, we're happy because of you Aathreya..
Aathreya:- But I'm suffering.
Doctor:- I have cured many people's disease with your name, I have done many auspicious things to you.
Aathreya:- Then you save your life and go on with this clinic you basket.

Mr. Viveagham starts to talk with Aathreya. They both sits near an Indian Laburnum tree.
Mr. Viveagham:- Thank you teacher. I was totally out of my mind after witnessing this cruelty. Thank you for making me think.
Aathreya:- It's ok sir. No problem. Do you know who is the best person in the world? The person who can control his or her angers and fears are not a best person, the person who doesn't able to get angry is the best person on Earth, even best in all the universe.
Mr. Viveagham:- I think, I should let go my ₹1 note. If it is mine, then it will follows me though, but if it is not, then it flies away from the sacred anointing plate, like the flowers in the trees. That is a bleeding bliss.
Aathreya:- Are you saying that flowers falling from trees are bliss? Yes I do upvote it…
Aathreya starts to leave the place.
Mr. Viveagham:- Where are you going? Jeicha sir?
Aathreya:- Um, going to teach students and people, on the topic how to survive in the toughest times. It is a teacher’s job to teach. Till yesterday I thought teaching is a job, but now I realised, teaching is a emotion. I’ll never leave that emotion till the end of my life.
Aathreya leaves the place while young female non-teaching staff comes near panchayat head.
Mr. Viveagham:- Hey girl, do you know to read and write?
Young female staff:- I can do a little..
Mr. Viveagham:- Can you carve the new teacher’s name on this laburnum tree? Because, we should not forget his name, mainly I should not forget his name. Because he taught me.
Young Female staff:- I can think so!
The female young staff starts to carve Aathreya’s name in the wood log. Like, “All Hail Aathreya!" The End.

The 17th century tree saw all the cruelties around it and also lost his identity as a tree as it has been cut off, but after some years, it became a rare and precious gift of God and preserved with love and care in the museum.
Wait with peace, you will shine one day like the tree. After you go hiding, the world misses you a lot like the trees and woods.
Peace is bigger than all the universe.
