Prologue

In the midst of a Global financial crisis, when the economy is going down, this is one international company. They are so large that they have been selected as the number one, the biggest sponsors for the next upcoming Olympics 2024. Ever since the start of the U.S. economic development, a single company has been holding the highest ranking. Continuing with its ever-continuous growth, one entity has been established in the international market as a world-class company. And that company is "Malhotra Group" or in short "M Group". From electronics, oil refineries, automobiles, telecommunications, architecture, manufactures of Aircrafts, and last but not the least Fashion Shows under the banner of M Group.

You may not have even heard or know much about the name of President but it would be hard for you to not know the two words, akka M Group.

When M Group achieved an unprecedented $50 billion mark in exports and its founder was invited to the White House. Instead of accepting a medal of honor and he asked "Mr. President, please allow me to build a School for my Grandchildren and for future generations." This was the birth of the Renowned M Group Academy or S.P.A.C.E (School of Performing Arts and Creative Education) Academy.

The S.P.A.C.E Academy is the first school of its kind to be seen in the history of US education. This was during a time when economic development was more important than equal opportunities in education. The President spared no expense, even passing special & several laws that benefitted the school. There is an even saying in America now is "That no family can get anywhere without holding M Group or S.P.A.C.E Academy graduate degree". But here is the catch, this school is only for the 2%, out of top 1% of American society and rest 1% for the Scholarship for foreigners. There are very rare cases, in fact, next to impossible, where middle - or lower-class students get enrolled. Wealthy upper-class children begin in kindergarten, but even though some children are enrolled right after they are born, they don't always get accepted. However, once enrolled in The S.P.A.C.E Academy, they can be educated from Elementary, Middle, High school graduation, and from there to College or University. For American students and parents frustrated by College entrance exams, The S.P.A.C.E Academy is, the object of their dream, hatred, envy and jealousy.

In this school of rich or spoilt brats and privileged, something beyond anyone's imagination has been happening.

In Mumbai, India
In Roots International School
Today is the special day for the Roots students as today Results of A-Levels Part II are going to be announced. Away from the Entrance gate of School, there was a long Quene of students waiting for their turns to see their Names on the notice board. It was already announced highest GP student's names are going to written on the Notice board and from there, that Student is warmly welcomed by School's Consultant if they want to study Abroad. In midst of 10 Names written on the Notice board, a name of student has been written in top Rank, is nowhere to be seen and that name is "Nandini Murthy" who has excelled 4.5 out of 4.5 GP, a perfect score.

Near Corridors
A certain girl of average height 5'4'' (5 feet 4 inches tall) is sitting on the bench holding her Admit and Enrollment card for her previous Exam, biting her nails in tension that what would be her result this time. She was already Scholarship student since her O-Levels and always scored her 1st position since 4 Years but this time she wasn't sure about the outcome as she was not prepared herself well like previous years because this time she was caught up in Family emergency. After a long turn of events, finally it was her turn. Breathing In and Out, in order to calm her nerves down. Her only aim is to score good GP so that she can study on Scholarship and later finds a good Job so that she could look after her family well.

In Lecture Hall 2
In lecture hall 2, Head of Department (H.O.D of respective faculty) is sitting on a luxurious chair, looking at different bundles of papers in front of her eyes. Soon she heard a polite & soft voice, making her to raise her eyes and smile at the owner of that voice. She can be strict, soft, gentle as well as your worst nightmare if the things doesn't go around as expected by her. But here the Person in front of her, it's not right to say She is Teacher's pet but she is definitely loved by the Faculty members as well as by H.O.D herself. Seeing the person, who greeted H.O.D, H.O.D greeted back smilingly and before that Person could say anything. H.O.D, herself asked,

"What are you doing over Nandini?"

A Soft voice of Nandini at first stammered, stammering her habit when is too nervous.

Stammering Nandini still lowering her eyes, asked in her ever-gentle voice "Umm Ma'am I'm here to know about my result"

Nandini's words astonished H.O.D as she was surprised by the young girl in front of her eyes. But she knew better the person sitting in front of her has a weak personality despite being a studious and good family background. She often wonders why this Girl is so different from rest of her Class mates and School mates. Smiling at the girl who has still lowered her eyes and shivering hands is waiting to hear her result. Her form clearly says she has not even slightest of idea that how good her grades are.

Smiling at her she asks "Nandini before telling you about your result, I want to ask something from you?"

H.O.D's words made Nandini to raise her eyes at H.O.D for a Nano-second then again lowered her eyes. And softly nodded.

Making same expression H.O.D asks her, "Tell me something what do you expect and what is Your Dream?"

At firs, Nandini was taken off-guard then says in her usual tone, "Ma'am my dreams are not big. My dream and my future goal is to get a Graduate degree from a Reputated University so that I can somehow help my parents. I don't belong from Upper-class nor Middle class. Its been years My father has lost his job so all our expenses is managed by our smallcooking businesss and rent. So You can say my only Goal is to help my parents and nothing else."

Words said by the young girl sitting in front of her has made her spell-bound, she was stunned that what exactly this Girl is made of. In this Era where Youth wants to wear, eat and do everything which is branded. In this Age, they hardly cares about their parents but thinks of themselves, and in this same age of others, her thoughts are so lovely. Really Girl is a blessing to her Parents who cares so much about her. Her lovely thoughts made H.O.D's eyes teary but knowing her position she hold herself back from letting her tears flowing.

H.O.D holding her composure asks, "Nandini no offense, when in this Era and age, where everyone wants to go Abroad and get degree from there when they are not qualified enough so why not you try for Applying Scholarship to study Abroad? Abroad's degree would hold more worth then the Nation's."

Hearing H.O.D's question, Nandini smiled a little, "Ma'am I don't intend to study abroad and leave my Parents alone at this time when they needed me the most. And Ma'am I know myself well that I can't blend myself with foreigners. So why giving a thought when I don't even want."

Hearing her so-down-to-Earth's words, this time H.O.D could not able to stop herself from showing affection to this Young Girl sitting in front of her. Raising her hands, She blessed the Girl and wished to have all the happiness in her life. Then correcting her glasses, She says further, "Nandini I know you might be tensed fully knowing what You have gone through Your Examination days as Your Father was hospitalized and he was crucial and Your Mother wasn't taking this news well. And at that Time, when in Morning You have to appear for Your exams and rest of your time in Hospital looking after your parents. So, I can understand how tough and hard it would be for you. *Taking a pause* But there is saying Hard work always pays off. And that's what happened with You. You scored a perfect grade that can make you to enroll yourself in well reputated university's Entrance exams."

Taking out her Transcript from the lower bundle, She hand it over to her and says, "Nandini You have always secured first position so why it would be different now? And I trust fully on Your capability that if You apply for studying Abroad on Scholarship then You can easily have. As the Head of your Faculty its my duty to say what is best for you. So, Nandini have confidence and apply for studying Aboard. Trust me."

Smiling at H.O.D, who hasn't less any Mentor for her, "Umm Ma'am thank you but Ma'am its not possible."

Sighing, H.O.D hold herself back from hitting her head for her foolish thought of not going to abroad, she says, "Whatever Nandini, but I do hope You will atleast think about it and if yes then here is the Card of Mr. Singh, Our School's Consultant who guides students to study Abroad for free. So when you thought about it then do meet him. Okay?"

Nandini smiles at her and nodded at her and took the card from her so that she would throw the card later. As She wasn't 1% interested in studying Abroad. Plus She know she wouldn't survive there so why taking a Pain of even thinking about it. After one or two things, Nandini went from there saying goodbye to H.O.D who hoped and wished for this Girl's good fortune.

As Nandini had already made up her mind, to not even think about it because deep down she was too much afraid of a Life where she wouldn't have her Parents beside her to shield her from harshness. Despite belonging not from rich-family, when her Parents income was well enough, and now when her father has lost his job years ago, still nothing has much changed, she was still pampered girl whose Parents has shielded her from every cruelities and made her live a Life of a fairy tale. Her Family was enough and she doesn't want to add any other person in her small World.

With such thoughts in her mind of not ever going to abroad, She threw the Consultant's Card in the Bin and walked from there not knowing what She is about to welcome which might be not the vert good news but a worst news.
