On a quiet night, a young boy named Kartik sleeping in his bed. But deep inside his dreaming mind, something strange stirred.
He found himself standing before a swirling portal — glowing black and blue like midnight cloud. Shocked and unable to move, he watched as the portal pulled him closer… and closer… until everything vanished.
With a sudden gasp, Kartik woke up.
Morning light filled his room. He blinked at the clock — he was late for school!
He jumped out of bed, brushed his teeth faster than ever, got dressed, and rushed out. His mother called him , insisting him to eat breakfast. Kartik gobbled it down and hurried off to school.
At school, he met his two friends — Dhruv and his cheerful friend Eisha. While the teachers talked and the day moved on, Kartik's mind stayed stuck on the strange dream. The glowing portal wouldn't leave his thoughts.
After school ended, Kartik dropped Dhruv and Eisha off at their homes. He finally returned to his own house, took a bath, ate dinner, and though he felt tired, he still forced himself to sit down with his homework.
As he wrote, his eraser slipped from his hand and fell to the floor. When he bent down to pick it up, the dream flashed before his eyes again — the wall, the colors, the pull of the portal.
A chill ran through him.
He slowly turned and stared at the wall of his room — the one hidden behind his cupboard. It looked exactly like the wall from his dream.
Heart pounding, he pushed the cupboard aside.
And there it was.
A real portal — swirling in black and blue, glowing just like before.
With trembling fingers, Kartik reached out and touched it. His hand slipped through as if the wall wasn't even there.
Before he could pull back, his foot nudged the fallen eraser… and he slipped.
Kartik fell straight into the portal — disappearing into the unknown place..
