"The dim light of the hospital room cast a soft glow over Satakshi's still form. Darsh had stayed by her side all day, his worry and guilt keeping him vigilant. As night fell, exhaustion finally took its toll, and he drifted into a restless sleep, his hand gently clasping hers. In the quiet of the night, Satakshi began to stir. Her eyelids fluttered open, and she slowly took in her surroundings. The sterile smell of the hospital, the beeping of the monitors, and then, her gaze settled on Darsh. His head was resting on the edge of her bed, his face peaceful yet etched with worry even in sleep.

Satakshi's heart swelled with a mixture of confusion and emotion. She reached out, her fingers trembling slightly as she gently brushed Darsh's hair. The touch was light, but it was enough to stir him from his sleep. Darsh's eyes opened slowly, and when he saw Satakshi awake, a tear slipped from the corner of his eye, tracing a path down his cheek. whispered, his voice thick with relief and emotion"

Darsh: satakshi....

"Satakshi, her own eyes glistening with unshed tears, cupped his face with her hands. she murmured, a soft, shaky laugh escaping her lips."

Satakshi: mujhe lgta h m pgl ho gai hu, ab toh aankhe khol kr bhi tumhare spne dekh rhi hu.

"Darsh's heart clenched at her words. He covered her hands with his, holding them close to his face."

Darsh said, his voice breaking: ye koi spna nhi h, m yhi hu. or m khi nhi jaa rha hu.

"Satakshi's eyes searched his, confusion giving way to a fragile smile."

Satakshi: tum sch m yha ho?

Darsh: hnn, m sch m yha hu.

"Darsh confirmed, his grip on her hands tightening."

 Darsh: I'm here, and I'm so sorry, Satakshi. I didn't realize how much you were hurting, how much you mean to me. But I know now. I love you, and I'm going to be here for you. Always.

"Tears spilled down Satakshi's cheeks as she absorbed his words. She pulled him closer, resting her forehead against his."

Satakshi confessed: I thought I was losing my mind, I felt so alone.

Darsh assured her, his voice firm yet tender: You're not alone. You have me, and you always will. 

"The room seemed to brighten as they shared a moment of pure, unfiltered happiness. But then, Satakshi's smile faltered, a shadow of doubt creeping into her eyes as a memory surfaced."

Satakshi said, her voice trembling: darsh ruko. misti... misti ka kya. tum toh usse pyar krte the na. how can you be so sure about your feelings for me?

"Darsh's heart ached at the mention of Misti. He had once believed his feelings for her were genuine, but everything had changed. He looked into Satakshi's eyes, his expression earnest and vulnerable."

Darsh: mujhe pta h ki maine bola ki I love misti, but satakshi. it was different. jo m tumhare lie feel kr rha hu vo alg h. with you, it's deeper, it's real. jb mujhe pta chla ki tum hospital m ho, my whole world came crashing down.

"Satakshi's eyes widened in surprise, a mixture of joy and disbelief spreading across her face. Darsh continued, his voice earnest"

Darsh: jb mujhe pta chla ki misti ka bf h, mujhe bs bura lga lkin kbhi bhi aaj tk mujhe jealousy nhi hui. lkin tumhari baari m esa nhi h. kisi or aadmi ko tumhare ps dekhkr, ya tumhe kisi or aadmi ki trf dekhkr, smile krta dekh, m pgl ho jata hu. meri jealousy or gusse ki koi limit nhi hoti h. satakshi I love you, and I want you all to myself.
