The Beginning

The peaceful village of Keshav was nestled in a valley between rolling hills and forests, surrounded by fields of wheat and corn that stretched as far as the eye could see. It was a small, close-knit community, where everyone knew each other and worked together to make a living.

Keshav was a young farmer, tall and strong, with piercing brown eyes and jet black hair that he kept tied back in a ponytail. He was a hard worker, spending long days in the fields alongside his best friends Dev and Aarav.

Dev was a few years older than Keshav, with a kind face and a gentle disposition. He had always been like a big brother to Keshav, looking out for him and helping him when he needed it. Aarav, on the other hand, was a mischievous young boy, full of energy and always ready for a good adventure.

The three friends were inseparable, spending their days working in the fields and exploring the nearby woods. They would often stop for a break in the shade of a tree, sharing stories and jokes as they ate their midday meal.

"Hey Keshav, remember that time we found that old abandoned well in the woods?" Dev chuckled as he took a bite of his sandwich. "I still can't believe you fell in headfirst."

Keshav laughed, shaking his head. "You should have seen the look on your face when you saw me floating down in the water."

"I thought you were a ghost!" Aarav chirped, his eyes wide with excitement.

"Well, at least I'm not the one who fell off a tree and broke my arm," Keshav teased, nudging Aarav with his elbow.

"Hey, that wasn't my fault!" Aarav protested, rubbing his arm with a rueful grin. "That branch was rotten."

The three friends laughed and joked, enjoying each other's company as they basked in the warm sun. It was a peaceful, happy moment, one that they would always remember.

But little did they know, a dark cloud was gathering on the horizon, one that would change their lives forever.
