Goa
India - 2012
Morning in Goa had always carried a certain kind of magic.
The soft rhythm of waves brushing against the shore…
The golden sunlight slowly spreading across the beaches…
Tourists laughing, locals setting up their stalls…
Everything felt alive. Peaceful.
Normal.
A young boy ran along the beach, chasing the waves as they pulled back into the sea.
A couple sat nearby, arguing playfully over something trivial.
An old man sipped his tea, watching the horizon like he had done every morning for years.
It was just another day.
Until—
BOOOOOOM!!!
The explosion tore through the air like a violent scream.
The ground trembled.
Windows shattered.
Birds scattered across the sky in panic.
For a second—
everything froze.
Then chaos erupted.
People started screaming.
Smoke rose into the sky—thick, black, suffocating.
A mother shouted her child's name, her voice breaking with every call.
A man stumbled forward, blood dripping from his forehead, unable to understand what had just happened.
Someone dropped their phone… someone else dropped hope.
Sirens were late.
Fear was instant.
Near the blast site—
a young teenager stood still.
Frozen.
His ears ringing.
His heartbeat loud enough to drown out everything else.
He looked around—
bodies… debris… fire.
And something inside him changed forever.
That morning—
Goa didn't just lose its peace.
It lost its innocence.
Four Years Later:
A bus cut through the long coastal highway, heading toward Goa once again.
The same place.
The same land.
But for some—
a completely different meaning.
Inside the bus—
three boys sat in different seats.
Strangers.
For now.
One of them leaned forward with a casual smile.
"First time going to Goa?" he asked.
The second boy, sitting by the window, didn't turn immediately.
His eyes were fixed outside—
watching the passing landscape.
"Yeah…" he replied softly.
"First time… but it doesn't feel simple."
The third one, who had been silent until now, finally spoke.
A faint smile appeared on his face.
"Simple or not… problems exist everywhere," he said calmly.
"And solving them… that's what I'm good at."
For a moment—
silence.
Then—
they all looked at each other.
And smiled.
Something unspoken connected them.
Something real.
That was the beginning.
As the journey continued, conversations slowly unfolded.
And so did their identities.
R.V.
Quiet. Observant. Controlled.
There was something different about him.
Even the way he sat—
alert, aware… like he was always ready.
His reflexes were sharp.
His movements precise.
A trained fighter.
A martial artist whose speed didn't give opponents time to react.
But more than that—
there was a storm behind his calm eyes.
Rocky
If R.V. was the body—
Rocky was the brain.
Sharp. Analytical. Fast.
He didn't just listen—he processed.
Every situation, every detail—
like a puzzle waiting to be solved.
And Rocky?
He hated unsolved puzzles.
Vivan
Energy. Life. Chaos.
He laughed easily.
Talked freely.
And carried a kind of warmth that made people comfortable around him.
Music was his escape.
Dance was his language.
And somehow—
even in silence, he brought life into the room.
Three different personalities.
Three different strengths.
But together?
A perfect balance.
A New Beginning:
The bus slowed down.
Brakes screeched lightly—
and then stopped.
In front of them stood a massive campus.
Wide gates.
Tall buildings.
Students moving in groups.
Energy everywhere.
A board read:
"The Sanskar College"
R.V. looked at it carefully.
"This is it…" he said quietly.
Vivan stretched his arms dramatically.
"Finally! New place, new life… and I swear, I'm here for dance, nothing else."
Rocky adjusted his glasses.
"You can dance all you want," he said dryly,
"I'm here to top the college."
R.V. smirked.
Vivan laughed.
And just like that—
their journey truly began.
They had no idea—
this place wouldn't just give them a future.
It would test everything they believed in.
The Incident:
As they walked through the corridor—
something felt off.
Voices.
Loud.
Angry.
"THIS IS A COLLEGE, NOT A MARKETPLACE!"
The voice echoed sharply.
The three of them stopped.
Looked at each other.
And moved closer.
Through the slightly open door—
they saw everything.
Two boys stood with their heads lowered.
A girl stood in the corner—
shaking.
Terrified.
A teacher stood nearby—
silent.
Avoiding eye contact.
And at the center—
the Principal.
His hand slammed against the table.
The sound echoed like a verdict.
"What you did is not just wrong…" he said coldly,
"It's disgusting."
Silence.
Heavy.
Unforgiving.
"In this college—respect is not optional."
His voice dropped—
but somehow became more dangerous.
"Anyone who disrespects a girl… has no place here."
He pointed at the boys.
"You're dismissed. Right now."
They froze.
Stunned.
But there was no second chance.
Then—
his gaze shifted.
To the teacher.
"And you…"
A pause.
Sharp.
Controlled.
"You saw everything. And said nothing."
The teacher lowered his head.
Shame written all over his face.
"You don't deserve to teach here."
Another dismissal.
The room fell silent again.
But this time—
it meant something.
Outside the door—
R.V., Rocky, and Vivan stood still.
Processing.
This wasn't normal.
This wasn't common.
This place—
was different.
A Decision:
They walked away.
Quietly.
For a few steps—
no one spoke.
Then—
R.V. broke the silence.
"This place…" he said slowly,
"is not like others."
Rocky nodded.
"Talent alone won't be enough here."
Vivan smiled slightly.
"Good," he said.
"That makes it interesting."
They stopped walking.
Something had shifted.
Inside all three of them.
And right there—
without planning—
without saying it out loud—
they made a decision.
They wouldn't just study here.
They wouldn't just survive.
They would stand for what's right.
No matter what.
Because respect—
discipline—
and truth—
would define them.
But what they didn't know—
what they couldn't even imagine—
was this:
Very soon…
their lives were going to take a turn—
so dark…
so dangerous.
What do you think will happen next?
