The Beginning

At about 12:13 am in the middle of the night, he wakes up suddenly in his bed. He is trembling extremely, not because of cold but of the nightmare he just had. It felt so real he thought, that he was just about to die at that moment.

He had been having these nightmares for a long time now but he doesn't know the reason why.

The place is in the mountains of Nepal, far away from the noise of the urban cities. Here, he lives alone in a small cottage. He works as a porter in the treks to Himalayas during the trekking season and works at his small farm at off season.

He looks very old though he is only 31. His skin has turned black because of the brutal cold winds of the Himalayas. He is about 5'3" tall. And, he wears the same old jacket and trousers all the time and his feet are bare all the time.

Though, there is a huge smile on his face all the time. And, while at work, everyone loves him for his chivalry inspite of his unforgiving looks.

But, nobody knows that his life is going to be turned upside down in a few days.
