In the dusty library, he stumbled upon an old journal belonging to his great-grandfather, 

Ramesh Malhotra.

Flipping through the pages,

Aditya discovered a love story that defied societal norms and hinted at a curse.

"What is this?" Aditya muttered, 

eyes widening as he read about the forbidden love and its dire consequences.


**Flashback**: 

A young Ramesh Malhotra is seen meeting a woman in secret,

their love forbidden due to their families' bitter rivalry. 

Their clandestine affair ended in tragedy, 

with the woman's father cursing the Malhotras, 

condemning them to a future marred by misfortune.



"Papa, why didn't you tell me about this?" Aditya confronted his father that evening.

Vikram looked up from his desk, surprise etched on his face. 

"Where did you find that journal?"

"In the library," Aditya replied.

 "What's all this about a curse?"

Vikram sighed, 

a heavy sound that seemed to carry the weight of generations. 

"Some things are better left in the past, Aditya. Our family has endured enough."

"But I need to know," Aditya insisted.

"You must break the curse."

Aditya leaped out of bed.

 "Show yourself!"

The figure stepped into the moonlight, 

revealing a young woman. 

"I am the one your great-grandfather loved. I've been trapped here for generations."

"What do I need to do?" Aditya asked, determined.

"You must find the relics hidden in the mansion," she said.

 "They hold the key to breaking the curse."
