Some time later...

In Adhya's college...

Adhya...
It's good that classes ended early today!
Ashika Shukla said excitedly, swinging her bag on her shoulder

Aur iske baad ke lectures bhi off hai...
She added with a wide smile, brushing her hair behind her ear

Haa yaar...
Tu sahi keh rahi hai...
Adhya replied, laughing lightly, stretching her arms

So now... let's go to the canteen!
We'll eat something... and talk too!
Ashika said with a playful nudge

Yes, by the way...
The lecture is off after such a long time!
Adhya said, smiling as both started walking toward the canteen

They walked together - talking, laughing, carefree...

But the moment they stepped into the canteen...

Adhya's phone buzzed loudly in her pocket

She stopped mid-step, pulled out the phone

Her brows furrowed

Papa...?
Why is Papa calling at this time?

She answered the call instantly

Hello? Papa?
Adhya said

But the voice that came through wasn't his

Hello ma'am... aap Adhya bol rahi ho?...
A deep voice, unfamiliar and rushed, echoed from the other side

Haanji... aap kaun?
Aur mere papa ka phone aapke paas kyun hai?
Adhya asked, her voice shaking, her grip on the phone tightening

Ma'am...
Sawal baad mein puchna...
Main yeh kehna chahta hoon ke...
Aapke family ka accident ho gaya hai!

Aapke papa ne aapka naam liya tha last time...
Bohot mushkil se unka toota phone khola...
Tabhi aapka number mila...
Issi wajah se aapko call kiya!
The man shouted, his voice cracking with urgency

Adhya's eyes widened

Her knees gave up - her entire body felt heavy

She collapsed on the floor with a loud thud

Her phone slipped from her trembling hand and hit the ground

Her mouth opened... but no words came out

She was frozen

Tears gushed out like a broken dam

Ashika turned around, shocked

Adhyaaa?!
What happened?!
Adhya, what's wrong?!
Ashi rushed toward her and bent down

Adhya was trembling... sobbing uncontrollably... unable to speak

The phone was still connected... the unknown man's voice came again

Hello ma'am... are you there?

Ashika quickly grabbed the phone off the floor

Hello? Kaun bol raha hai?
Aur Adhya kyun ro rahi hai?!
She asked, her tone now sharp and frightened

Ma'am... uski family ka accident hua hai...
Hum unhe "Journey of Life" hospital le ja rahe hain...
Aap log bhi jaldi pahuchiye!
The man replied and disconnected the call

Ashika froze for a second, then snapped back into action

She cupped Adhya's face

Adhya!
Utho!
You have to go to the hospital, now!
Stop crying, please!
Tears won't help - your sisters need you!
YOU need to be strong for them!
