It is 4 in the morning. Everyone is having a sound sleep. But, it is not the case with Mahesh. Not that he is worried about the tight deadline in office. In reality, he is not able to stop thinking if he really wants to use the device for time traveling or not. If he uses it, he won't be able to deliver the project he committed for.
Again, opportunity like this won't present to everyone. Not utilizing it doesn't sound good for Mahesh. His thoughts still wandering and making a list of pros and cons of using the device. Then his thoughts slowly blurred and Mahesh went into a deep sleep on his comfortable bed.
His sleep is disturbed by the sound of his phone ringing and vibrating continuously. Not knowing the time and with much difficulty, Mahesh answered the phone. He felt that there is a huge noise from other end and before he can make what it is, the call is ended. Mahesh gained little consciousness, and realized that it is his Manager on other end. He also found that the time is past 11AM and the noise is regarding that. He quickly got ready and ran to office. There, he is so consumed by the work and he almost forgot about the time travel device. When, he is finally about to end work at 7PM, his manager reminded him that he is yet to complete 9 hour quota in office for that day. With much frustration and irritation, he stayed back. Then came a call from his mom. With all the love and care, she put forward her case. She asked Mahesh's about his marriage plans. This is not a new conversation for Mahesh, as his mom reminds him about finding a suitable girl every day. So, while this irritated him further, it doesn't have any effect on him beyond that.
He is relieved once the call from home is over. His manager seem to remember his family and finally left office. Mahesh waited for sometime and thought about how horrible his day is. Then, he started to home expecting no more headache for that day. But, life won't be as we expect. On the way, he saw his ex-girlfriend with her husband. She looked genuinely happy. But, as ex lover Mahesh is extremely saddening. He reached his house around 8PM, he had dinner and then started thinking again. How his ex left him without any clue. How he became all alone and not able to adjust to the new reality. As he has no one to discuss at that time, he started sharing his feeling with a bottle of vodka. After a long conversation with himself, and in a drowsy state. Mahesh took the time travel device and wore the special cloths for the device. He wants to use it right then, but can't think of a time to travel. Then he decided, not to use it in that state. In few minutes he slept.
Next morning Mahesh woke up with Sun staring at him. He woke up and sat at the same place. Mahesh thought that, "I am going to be late to office even today". He slowly started gaining senses. Then, he realized that something is different. He is not in his house, in fact he is not in any place which he knows. Then, he realized that he is in some place with trees all around, it looked like a small forest. Then, finally he realized another strange thing. He is not wearing his sleep cloths. But, a very strange skin tight cloths which are like thermal wear. Then, he realized the cloths he is wearing are the special time travel cloths that he got along with the device. He saw that he has the time travel device on his hand. Which he barely know how to use.
Too many thoughts, started flowing in the head of Mahesh. Where is he now? How did he reach a forest? Did anyone kidnapped him? How come he is in these weird cloths?
With so many such questions, he know the most scariest of all them? Did he time travel or is anyone playing prank with him?
