Once upon a time a old man live in a village name ghatakpur.People of that village believe that the man is a witch. Because every night the old man leave the home and come back at day and all of the people died who tried to flow the old man.This was story that comes in Ram dream every night.
At One night Ram parents go to attend marriage ceremony of one of their friend and Ram left alone.Ram was alone and got sleep at shofa while watching TV but suddenly door bell rings and Ram go to open the door thinking that his parents are return but it was a stranger comes to his home and ask for a old man with showing a photographer, it was same photograph of same old man which comes to Ram dream.Ram got terrified and said to stranger in very slow and terrified voice that I have seen this man in my dream and He was a witch he further said.Then the stranger transfomed into the that witch old man in the eyes of Ram.Ram try to escape from the house but the witch caught the Ram and put him into a magical bag and disappeared into a Cave full of bats and witches.
In the next morning the Ram wakeup from sleep and seeing that all witches saying my lord you eventually come back.The witches gift him a special magical broom which has power to fly.Rom got happy after receiving it and he feel happier that him become king of the witches after receiving that special magical broom.Then Ram wakeup from Coma in the hospital and realises that it was just a dream.The parents of Ram told him after you fall from roof about 5 years ago you got into a coma.Everybody eyes has tear of hapiness to see Ram back from coma except Ram because he was still thinking about that special magical broom.Ram comes to home and seeing that the face of witch matches to his one of the maid named Arjun.He told these things to parents but parents ignore him thinking that it was just his delusion since he was wakeup from coma after very long time.But Ram has suspicion about Arjun.So he secretly go to Arjun room and find out the magical broom that comes into his dream then he pick up and try to run away with broom but suddenly Arjun arrive at his room and seen that boy was try to still his broom and then Arjun told to Ram in polite way Sir do you want this broom?
Ram said no then suddenly Arjun turns into witch and Ram unable to think it was real or just dream.Then suddenly Ram wakeup in his Room with yelling witch witch.The parents give him sleeping pills and Ram just goes back into sleep and dreaming again about the magical broom.The doctor told to his parents it was just because of his dream and his obsession with magic that he hered in school or by his grandmother and advice his parents to give him reality check that it is never possible in real world and it is just a fiction story.There is no magic and their is no magical broom said by doctor.
After that parents give the Ram reality check and said there is no magic.The only magical things in world is the word magic.
But even after the reality check, something inside Ram refused to let go of the magical world he had seen. One evening, as he sat quietly in his room staring at the sky, a strong gust of wind blew open his window. Along with it came a faint whisper, almost like a chant, repeating the words, "You are the chosen one, Ram." His heart raced, and he rushed to the window, but there was nothing outside—only the silent darkness of the night. Despite what the doctor and his parents told him, Ram began to keep a journal, recording every detail of his dreams, trying to find a pattern or a clue. Deep down, he felt that magic might not be about broomsticks or witches, but about believing in something greater than the ordinary. And with that belief, he decided that one day, he would uncover the truth—whether it was hidden in dreams or reality.
One night, while flipping through the pages of his dream journal, Ram noticed something strange—symbols that he didn’t remember writing began to appear between the lines. The ink shimmered faintly under the moonlight, and as he traced them with his finger, a strange warmth filled the room. Suddenly, the broom he had hidden under his bed began to glow faintly. Ram’s eyes widened. Was this truly happening, or was he still dreaming? He whispered the words written in the journal, and the broom lifted slightly off the ground. Ram now knew, without any doubt, that his dreams were more than imagination—they were a gateway. And he was no ordinary boy—he was meant for something far beyond the world anyone around him believed in.
