"Vo zindagi hai meri, use salamat rakhna,
Saansein uski hai par dhadkan meri hai,
Meri rooh se juda na ho vo kabhi,
Aaj aisi laaj meri mohabbat ki rakhna"

-Vaidehi

Ruhanika lay limp in Rudraksh's arms, her face pale, her breathing shallow. His mind refused to process what had just happened, as if time itself had frozen around him. His grip on her tightened instinctively, his breath shallow, his heart pounding against his ribs. Ashvik knelt beside them, clutching Ruhanika’s hand with a desperate hold, his own face reflecting fear and uncertainty. Simrat, standing close, placed a comforting hand on Rudraksh’s shoulder, sensing the turmoil raging within him.
