 Story:

Once upon a time, there lived two twin brothers, Manu and Binu, who were nicknamed Mabi. They were in the midst of their annual examination. Mabi’s parents promised them that if both scored 90% or above in their exams, they could stay at their grandparents' house in the summer holidays for a week. Filled with eagerness and anxiety, they studied hard and achieved their goal. As a result, they were getting ready to go to their grandparents' house in the secret city of Okaida. Okaida was known as a secret city because it harbored many mysteries.

 Upon reaching Okaida, they informed their grandparents that they were going to play with the nearby children, but instead, they set out to discover the secrets of Okaida. Along the way, they stumbled upon a large abandoned house with a creepy atmosphere. They thought it might hold a secret and decided to explore it. Inside, they found nothing except a well, which left them exasperated as they thought it wasn't a secret. Disheartened, they returned home and started watching television. While engrossed in cartoons, they thought they saw a ghost, which startled them. Their grandma came and asked why they were shouting. They explained that they had seen a ghost, but upon rewinding the cartoon, they realized nothing was there. Similar illusions followed, leading them to confide in their grandma. Concerned, she took them to a saint who attributed their experiences to the abandoned house they visited.

 

Later, upon revisiting the house they started shouting at it,they encountered a man named Dhunni. He revealed that the illusions were caused by Akbar, Aura, and Parvathy, three key figures responsible for the sin of illusions. Mabi inquired about a solution, leaving Dhunni thoughtful. Will Dhunni disclose the secret? Will the sin of illusion disappear? Will it trouble Mabi forever? The answers lie in Part 2.
