The bright sun just arose ahead, clouds drifted fastly and the birds from other ends came across here, tweeting and chirping, in groups. The sunlight penetrated through the window and shined on Denise face.
It disturbed his sleep, the naughty boy rubbed his face and rolled on the bed. He turned towards his mom, who was fast asleep. He crawled to his mom and cuddled her. His mom was too sleepy, that she wasn't able to open her eyes. Because of his constant trouble, she got up half asleep.
Denise, is a naughty, four year old kid. His parents were dashing couple, so as he, born handsome too. Even on the first day, he caught everyone's attention, 'cause of his funny and tender words. If every family had a child like him, all their sorrow and worries will fly away.
By the time, people gathered around, at the gathering spot. There were people who came perfect taking bath early, few came in their pajamas but well makeuped and few youngsters came right away from their bed, without even brushing.
The early morning view was amazing at ARI and children were the one's who enjoyed it. They followed the sunlight that reflected on the tiles and the sound of their laugh echoed everywhere. People started laughing automatically, 'cause of their lovely giggle.
Everyone were excited, to know about the sudden gathering. The General Head of all affairs, went up, to the virtual stage and started the speech.
" Good morning, everyone! I feel privileged to stand, before you all, to announce this auspicious news. Its your first day here and I know that you all haven't explored ARI. There's massive and great things waiting for you all, beyond the blocks."
"Today, we invited you all for the grand opening of "Amazing intelligence", the educational spot for both school and university attenders. This is a diverse site with manifold faculties, where children from kindergarden to adults of all ages, can educate themselves. With the system to teach not only knowledgable studies but we're going to train them, how to face day-to-day life and challenges too. I would like to invite all the future generations and their respected parents/ Guardians to kindly attend the inaugural ceremony, which will commence soon". After the General Head finished his speech, everyone parted ways to attend the inaugration.
Those parents, who had underaged children, were also invited, as there happened to be a discussion about professions, right after the ceremony. The children under 7 years were not allowed to attend school in Atlise as well as in ARI. Parents stood there helpless, as its impossible to control the cute kittens and do their work simultaneously. They thought of leaving them to someone who is experienced in child care.
By that time, everybody had left, except few old people who sat there in groups, 'cause their heath didn't permit them to walk far and long. Those parents left their naughty kiddos to them and went right way. People gathered at the ceremony and waited until the arrival of the Special Guests.
Here, at the gathering spot, things got out of hand. Children scattered everywhere, disturbed the AI bots which remained there and it was a total havoc and troublesome situation. The elders got an idea, they sought the help of LEXI, to calm them down. Gradually, children sat down one by one, as soon as LEXI started a Artistic Laser show. It continued until children got sick of it.
An old woman, slowly approached the children and started speaking to them in a fun way. As she looked like a fairytale grandma, children asked her to narrate intersting story. As soon as she started narrating, children came close to her, 'cause she spoke in a deep tone, that grabs one's attention.
" Long long ago, at 2025, life at Mother Earth became tragic. All the people faced lot of fatal dangers like pandemic, Global warming, inhumane activities and increased natural calamities. Among them all, eight countries faced severe downfall 'cause of these disasters. This was a punishment given to people by God, to teach them a good lesson for living a nasty life so far."
" People all over the world, prayed day and night, each and every minute, to get blessings from the Almighty Emperor. He got moved by people's sudden change in their personality and behaviour. They became too kind, great worshipers, helped each other and did great deeds, expect few groups."
"He showered his blessings upon them, by eradicating all the impending dangers. In addition to this, he gave special BOON to few countries, who truely worshipped him. Those eight countries who'd suffered a lot, accepted the boon and transformed their countries into, what they loved and longed for. The rest of the countries rejected it and asked for a normal boon to live a peaceful and perfect life."
"Grandma, what is that special boon?", Denise asked her, as he got immersed in the story. The old woman continued...
" The people were rewarded to travel to the past or future, through a portal and select the type of life they wanted to live thereafter."
"Wow! Time travel. I love it, Grandma ", Denise shouted in joy. This made everyone of 'em even more interested.
" Yeah. Listen carefully! Those eight countries selected a unique theme, they wanted to live in the world. I don't know whether people are aware of this, we're one among those eight countries."
"What our ancestors time travelled and got a boon. What's that tell us soon!", the other children got excited to hear the remaining story.
"Of course. I'd tell you. But I want you all to guess it. Aren't you interested about what other countries did?" She continued...
By the time at the inaugural ceremony, people waited for the guest. Suddenly, a green light flashed at the center. People got shocked at the sudden light. Slowly the light extented and formed a portal. People wide opened their eyes and some went few steps back.
On seeing it, few officials rushed to the portal. A young man, in a moderate height , came out of the portal. He looked handsome, but looked different. He had a flower ring around his head and his dress was fully covered by beautiful and unique flowers. While he entered ARI, a refreshing, warm and peaceful fragrance was spread everywhere. Along with him, came a little doll like mini plant, which walked and spoke along with him.
