Submitted to Contest #5 in response to the prompt: 'You send a message to the wrong person. What happens next?'

The archaeologists meeting started a bit late. However, it was favorable for Dhanu who missed the train and came late for the meeting. Many officials intimated the traditional importance. They moreover discussed the temple heritage and need further research on that. A new research idea arose there. That is the place - Nidhivan temple in Vrindavan. The expert said that the temple closes at 7.30 PM everyday. Because every night, Lord Krishna performs Rasleela there with Gopikas. No one can enter there. If so, then they will get lunatic or blind. Many tests are gone. This time the chief asked for a courageous heart to face the challenge. Dhanu was always an explorer. Also interested in the Nidhivan mystery. So she boldly accepted the challenge in front of everyone. With huge applause, she received a batch named Nidhivan Mission. She asked for strong teammates. The chief gave her a reference book.

Reaching her hometown, Dhanu relaxingly opened the book. She picked the suitable archaeologists for this mission with the help of her friend Poorni. They shortlisted nearly 10 profiles. But they need only 5. So they contacted 10 persons for further clarification. They discussed it with 9 people. She selected 4 from that. So one person is needed. The last person was Ramu. Exhausted, Dhanu changed the last number as 6 instead of 9 of his number unknowingly. Fortunately that person's name is also Ramu. She messaged him about this. But he doesn’t know this. Later she called because of no reply. Dhanu’s sweet voice impressed him and can't able to say the wrong number. So he answered almost favourably for her. His tricky speech satisfied her. So she considered him. But he really doesn't have archeological knowledge. Dhanu and Poorni checked for the 5 people's photos. They can't find 2 photos - Ramu and Dilip. But they somewhat selected the both as teammates. Here Ramu is a history professor not an archaeologist. Dhanu messaged everyone to meet at a spot in Vrindavan.

On that day, everyone reached there. Ramu too came there to see Dhanu. He loved her and decided to act as an archeologist. With his history knowledge, he managed. First that morning, they discussed Nidhivan and visited there. Dhanu got permission from the temple to research more. Next day Dhanu with her teammates read Lord Krishna's story to get any clue. Ramu was Krishna devotee. So he clarified their doubts. This impressed Dhanu. He started to talk about Rasleela.

Rasleela is a program which is performed by Lord Krishna and Radha Rani with their Sakhis and Gopikas. All Gopikas indulged in devotional love with Lord Krishna and expressed it through their dance. Other than Gopikas, no one can enter the place Rasamandala where Rasleela is being performed. After the end of Dwapara Yuga, the Kali Yuga has started. But Lord Krishna and Gopikas regularly perform Rasleela every night without fail. Their Rasamandala is now called Nidhivan. Normal people can't see this divine miracle. Some specific persons like Yogis can feel this incident .

After hearing this from Ramu, everyone developed curiosity. That evening they all decided to see Rasleela tonight. Nearly 7.15 PM no one was there. And this group entered there. They waited till 9 PM. But no suspicious things were found. Nearly 9.20, an unbearable high sound teared their ears. After sometime, they realised that and got relieved. With some courage, they stood there for some time. Nearly 10 PM, they heard a huge sound of slang. Fear surrounded them. Then a highly shining powerful light came to the point where the eyes burn. They all suffered more. Except Dhanu and Ramu, everyone went from there with dread. Ramu can't leave Dhanu alone. Dhanu was also ready to face consequences boldly. So he stayed there for her. Still they can't open their eyes. Those warm rays affected them. This sparkling continued without stopping. Both of them came outside of the temple . Actually Ramu only dragged her out from there.

Dhanu asked Ramu about his experience there. Both felt terrific. Suddenly a sage came outside from the temple. They were shocked to see him. Because no one was there inside Nidhivan. Then how is he coming from there? They both bowed to him and asked about his arrival. He replied that he was a devotee of Lord Krishna and that he watched the Rasleela in this temple every day. They were amazed to hear this. Then Dhanu asked what we should do if we also wanted to see this Rasleela. To this, he laughed and said that it was not possible for ordinary devotees. But he said that if you have devotion towards him, you can realize this and he left. Then Ramu explained to her about Lord Krishna and inspired her devotion. Dhanu, engrossed in Ramu's excellent devotional speeches, decided to enter with devotion.

They now went inside with courage. Because both of them were so devoted, they could hear what Lord Krishna and the Gopis were talking about. But they didn't really understand it. However, they could feel it. They couldn't see it. They both closed their eyes and felt devotion from the sound. They were completely oblivious. They didn't know what was happening. But they were mesmerized by that divine sound. When dawn broke, they both came to their senses and realized that they had experienced a spiritual experience. Dhanu thanked Ramu for this beautiful experience. Ramu revealed the truth about him. But Dhanu accepted that without getting angry. Because of him only she can experience a spiritual delight. She considered him as the right person, not as the wrong number.

On the record submission date, she kept a file there. The chief opened it. He was shocked as inside the file, there was a peacock feather. And had written β€œThank You”. He couldn't understand anything and appointed another archaeologist for this task. But only Dhanu can understand the secret behind her research which all happened by that wrong number - Ramu. After some days, she contacted real Ramu but was shocked that he had became blind because of his solo Nidhivan research.

WOW. Wonderful story. This had major thriller vibes β€” goosebumps the whole time. If you like wild heists and dysfunctional group chats, you’ll probably vibe with mine. Mind trading votes? Its got a dysfunctional group chat, a bunch of thieves who call each other \"darling\" and a way too hot guy who likes irritating the MC way too much. :) :) :). Here\'s the link. Would really appreciate it if you gave me a vote. https://notionpress.com/write_contest/details/6175/the-group-chat-of-doom-a-vayne-mistake
