The Mystery of a Bracelet: Episode 8

 Episode 8: The Past Passed – The Future Arrived

Virat’s game had begun. Using his high-tech tracking system, he successfully locked onto the bracelet's location right where Keshav was.

One night, near the school, a gang of hired attackers launched a surprise ambush on Keshav.

In a panic, trying to escape, Keshav instinctively twists the bracelet tightly.

Unknowingly, he rotates a small hidden dial embedded between ancient Sanskrit shlokas on the bracelet.

Etched on that dial, in Sanskrit, were the words: “Samaya Seema” Boundary of Time. Suddenly, a radiant pulse shoots out from his wrist.

In the blink of an eye… the wind stills, the light freezes, and Keshav vanishes from the face of the earth.

When he opens his eyes it’s no longer 2025.

It’s the year 2035 – the future.

Dazed and disoriented for hours, Keshav slowly gets up.

All around him: hovering buses, smart drones, holographic screens.

On a nearby building, a glowing title reads: “Sri Satya Futuristic High School – Batch 2035”.

Keshav is stunned.

He looks at his ID card hanging from his neck: “Mr. Keshav – Science Faculty” And on his wrist still gleaming is the same divine bracelet.

Keshav’s mind races:

“How did I come to this world? Why do I look like a grown man? This bracelet… why did it bring me here?”

He heads to his apartment. On the way, a news flash on a public screen startles him:

“Virat to contest elections for Chief Minister in the upcoming polls.”

A chill runs down Keshav’s spine: “What if… Virat had gotten the bracelet instead of me? He’d control everything… That cannot happen. I must return to 2025.”

Back in his room, Keshav finds an old box.

Inside it: the ancient palm-leaf scrolls are still preserved.

He tries to translate them. They’re written in old Sanskrit, with cryptic notes and specific dates:

“1957, Magha Pournami, Rahu Kalam The Gateway of Time opens…”

But decoding it isn’t easy.

To make sense of them, he needs a specific tantric scripture a lost mantra doctrine that no longer exists in the modern world.

He searches across the internet, contacts digital libraries, even forums for ancient texts… But no one can interpret the secrets.

Keshav’s thoughts are clear now:

“These palm leaves are the only clue. The bracelet will guide me but only if I find where and when the Time Portal will open again. Without decoding the scrolls… I may never return.”

👉 Will Keshav succeed in unraveling the mysteries of the scrolls? Can he find the lost knowledge required to return to 2025? Or is he now trapped in time, while Virat’s dark rise continues?
