Twists Of Fate-Unraveling Destiny

CHAPTER-3

Before starting this chapter I want to say that if anyone wants then that person can reread previous chapter as I have done some editing in that chapter it's not necessary to reread it just saying if you want then you can give a quick read to it.

Note- I understand some of you are concerned about Anokhi coming across as too "old-aged" or motherly in her care for Aditya. It wasn't my intention to make her seem older than her years or to deviate from her character's natural demeanor. Anokhi's caring nature towards Aditya was meant to highlight her empathetic side and the depth of her relationship with her students, including a sense of responsibility as a mentor. However, I can see how it might have appeared differently.I will make sure in future to show Anokhi's characterization consistent and authentic, ensuring her actions and expressions align with her youthful spirit and unique personality.

Thank you to all those people who gave their valuable reviews to me🫰🏻❤️

In Chandigarh,

A deserted area,

Alone in his car, his eyes staring blankly ahead as memories of the past flooded his mind. Just a few years ago, life had been so different—full of laughter, happiness, and love. He could still hear the echoes of joyous moments that now felt like a distant dream. His voice trembled as he spoke into the empty car, barely more than a whisper.

"How did everything go so wrong? Back then, there was so much joy, so much love... everything was perfect. But now..." He paused, the weight of his words sinking in. His grip tightened on the steering wheel, his knuckled turned white.

"Now, it feels like everything's over... everything's ruined...There's nothing left but sorrow, empty hope, and this loneliness..."each word hung in the air, heavy with the despair that filled his heart.

Shaurya's mind was filled with chaotic thoughts, every memory and regret intensifying his feeling of emptiness. Just then, his phone rang, its sharp tone piercing through the heavy silence of the car.

He glanced at the screen, seeing his father's name flash repeatedly. For a moment, he considered ignoring it, but the persistent ringing seemed to pull him back to reality. With a sigh, he reached for the phone.

"Hello?" he answered, his voice felt rough, edged with exhaustion and worry.

"Shaurya, it's me, Shaan" came Shaan's urgent voice on the other end, "Tum jahan bhi ho jaldi se ghar aao Shaurya, Aastha ki tabiyat theek nahi hai"

Shaurya's heart sank as he heard the urgency in Shaan's voice.

"What happened to Mom, dad?"he asked, a knot of worry forming in the pit of his stomach.

There was a brief pause before Shaan responded, his reply was concise yet filled with concern. "Just come home, Shaurya. I'll explain everything when you get here.Please drive safely, and don't worry too much,it's not as serious as it sounds." With that, the call ended, leaving Shaurya in a deeper sense of dread.

He stared at the phone for a moment, his heart started racing. Without another thought, he started the car and pulled onto the road, the urgency of his father's words driving him mad.
