Title: The Boy Who Talked to Time
Arif was just a normal 16-year-old boy from a small town.
He had big dreams but very little confidence.
One evening, while cleaning his grandfather's old room, he found a strange watch. It was old, rusty, and not working. But when he touched it, the watch suddenly started ticking.
Tick… Tick… Tick…
Suddenly, a voice whispered,
"I can give you one chance to change your future."
Arif was shocked. "Who are you?"
"I am Time," the voice replied. "I don't go back. I only move forward. But I can show you where you will be in five years."
In a flash, Arif saw himself — confident, successful, standing on a stage while people clapped for him.
"How did I become like that?" Arif asked.
The voice answered,
"You stopped wasting time. You stopped making excuses. You started working when others were sleeping."
The vision disappeared.
The watch stopped ticking.
From that day, Arif changed.
He studied harder.
He learned new skills.
He stopped saying "I will do it tomorrow."
Five years later, Arif stood on a stage — just like in the vision.
But this time, there was no magic watch.
Only hard work.
And Time… was smiling.
