'Run—Gyan—Run—Don't look back!' The command echoed in the young boy's mind. Approximately six years old, Gyan ran, his small body bracing his mother's weight. They were being chased by wild, monstrous animals, their growls closing in behind them. Everyone who saw them would've wondered how they ended up in this forest, since the forest was very far from the city. Gyan, who was only six years old, had to pay for someone else's mistake.
He hadn't committed the crime, but the burden of his father's sins was now his own. Even though he didn't deserve it, he had to be on his guard. Despite all the suffering he had to bear for bringing his mother along, he decided not to leave her, even in this forest. They were being hunted by wild animals. The hunt was intentional.
It was not a random encounter. As they were being chased, a large, dark stone was thrown at them. The stone hit a tree, and it fell right infront of them. They were struck by the stone, and they tripped. He saw the wolves pouncing at them,their gazes malicious, wanting to have them as their prey.
"Gyan! Gyan! Gyan!" Gyan's eyes flew open. His whole body was soaked in sweat. He was still in the forest, but it was just a dream. He looked around. There she was. The face that he still recognised till today. Even after so many years time seemed to have had no effect on her. She looked like a woman in her thirties. She emanated an elegant and charming aura and had a gentle temperament. A smile hung on her lips that made her look like a celestial being. Her hair was tied into a bun.
She had blue eyes that seemed to match her temper and elegance. She smiled as Gyan turned his head and gave her a look. "What is it?" the woman asked. "A bad dream, again, son?" the woman said, her voice like a song. "What is it, Mom?" Gyan asked not bothering to answer her question. It has been ten years since they arrived in this town. Gyan's coming of age ceremony was about to take place.
Even after so long, tue same dreams have been haunting Gyan.Gyan has constantly had the same nightmare every night since that day when the decision was made. Gyan had the same blue eyes as his mother and had a handsome face. Apart from his eyes, he had inherited most of his mother's mature traits. He was tall which was quite rare for boys his age and he had a delicate physique that made his seem more girlish.It could be said that he could be the dream boy of any girl. And he was seen as so in his current school. Many girls had written him letters, but he had not proposed to any girl yet, and this decision was his. His mother had long decided not to interfere with her son's relationships . "Son, you should not worry about that place and those events. They should be buried in the past," his mother said.Gyan nodded his head and his mother left him alone.
After an hour, Gyan left the room dressed in an executive tuxedo. "Mom, what do we have for breakfast?" Gyan asked as he sat on the chair in the dining room, taking an apple .
"After having breakfast, Gyan, you should head to the office," his mother said as she served the breakfast. Despite being one of the richest family in the city, Gyan's family had few servants and they were mostly for cleaning. "I will make sure to drop by in the office before making it to the university, " Gyan replied. He was driven by his personal bodyguard, Lucas. Lucas had a small stature but he was no less taller than Gyan and his muscles were a bit more pronounced as compared to Gyan. He could not be described as weak, but he was too strong that it was scary at times. "So, you have a meeting with the board members in the next hour at the Serene Hotel. After that, you have been invited to attend a meeting with the Huttons to finalize the journey and to also discuss the patnership between the two companies." Lucas informed him as they were heading towards the company. "Okay, but the meeting should be short as I have to be in school in the next six hours." "No worries, we have a plane ready to take us to Orange City at night.I have the tickets ready," Lucas said. "We are heading to the airport to get there as soon as possible so when I leave school everything should be prepared," Gyan said. "Do we have to use the airport?" Lucas asked. "Yes, we have to." The journey to the company was about thirty minutes so Gyan arrived early. Everything was already in place and the board members were already waiting for him. He did not stay in the meeting for long before he left with Lucas after about an hour. "Sir, why don't you use the company's place, it is more convenient?" Lucas asked. "No need, I will just use the public planes," Gyan said as he alighted from the car.
It was not easy for Gyan to become a successful businessman especially considering his age. But he had another identity that few knew about. He hid his true identity from many such that many people would dare to associate him with his hidden identity. He went to a private place that was only accessible to him.
