Meri khwahishon ka armaan tu hai,
Meri har dhadkan ka izhaar tu hai....
Teri mohabbat mein hum kho gaye hain,Meri zindagi ka har pal tu hai...
Chahat ki tapish mein jalte rahe,
Tere pyaar ki rahon mein chalte rahe...
Tu jo paas hai to sab kuch hai,
Tere bina hum adhoore se reh gaye...
Next day
Aadhya’s health had taken a turn for the worse. Despite having a high fever, she kept it to herself, not wanting to trouble Agastya. He was too busy in his own world to notice her pale face or the way she winced with every movement.
That morning, Aadhya forced herself to get up and make breakfast. She placed his favorite dishes on the table, hoping this small gesture might bring them closer.
Aadhya (softly): "Good morning, Agastya. Breakfast is ready."
Agastya (barely looking up from his phone): "Hmm, thanks."
As he ate, still glued to his phone, Aadhya watched him with a faint smile, her heart aching. Memories of happier times flooded her mind.
Aadhya (thinking): "Maybe everything will be okay. Maybe we can be like we were before."
She remembered their early days of marriage, how they would eat dinner together, cuddle at night, and how he would lovingly feed her when she didn’t feel like eating.
Aadhya : "Agastya I'm so full... I can't eat anymore"
He shook his head feeding her another spoon of rice.
Agastya: "I don't want my beautiful wife to get sick again...."
Those moments seemed so far away now. Her thoughts were interrupted as Agastya got up to leave.
Agastya: "I’m getting late, I have to leave."
Aadhya (forcing a smile): "Bye, Agastya. Have a good day."
She watched him leave, her smile fading as the door closed behind him. Gathering her strength, she got ready for the hospital and left for work.

**At the Hospital**
In the evening, Aadhya was discussing a patient with her colleague, Meera, when Meera noticed something was off.
Meera: "Aadhya, are you okay? You look very weak."
Aadhya (smiling weakly): "I’m fine, Meera. Just a slight fever, it’s nothing."
But Aadhya wasn’t worried about her health. Her mind was preoccupied with thoughts of Agastya and their strained relationship. Just then, her phone buzzed with a message from Agastya.
Agastya’s message: "There’s a party tonight. Get ready, I’ll pick you up."
Aadhya informed the receptionist that she would be taking leave for the night. She went home and got ready, choosing a simple outfit and applying light makeup. She hoped that tonight would be a chance for them to reconnect.

**At the Party**
When Agastya arrived, he barely glanced at her, his expression showing no sign of appreciation. They drove to the party in silence, the atmosphere between them heavy with unspoken words.
As they entered the lavish venue, Agastya immediately got involved in conversations with his business associates, leaving Aadhya to navigate the crowd alone. She felt out of place and isolated, her fever making her feel even more vulnerable.
Aadhya (thinking): "Can we ever be like we were before? Can he love me like he used to?"
Aarav, a new investor, noticed Aadhya from across the room. He was struck by her simplicity and beauty. As their eyes met, he felt a strange connection.
Aarav (thinking): "What a beautiful and innocent girl. There is so much pain in her eyes."
Meanwhile, Aadhya was just looking at Agastya, who was busy talking with his investors. Her heart sank as the host announced the couple dance.
Host: "Ladies and gentlemen, it’s time for the couple dance! Please join your partners on the dance floor."
Aadhya’s heartbeat quickened. She looked at Agastya, hoping he would come to her. But her hope shattered when he chose one of his investors, a beautiful woman in a black dress, for the dance. Aadhya watched in silence as they danced together, her heart breaking a little more with each passing moment.
Aadhya (thinking): "Is our love truly over? Has he forgotten me?"
Her body was burning with fever, but she was too lost in her thoughts to realize it. Suddenly, her vision blurred, and she felt herself losing consciousness. Before she could react, she fainted.
Aarav, who had been watching her, rushed forward and caught her in his arms. The scene grabbed everyone's attention. Agastya noticed the commotion and rushed to her side, taking her away from Aarav’s arms.
Agastya (worriedly): "Aadhya! What happened?"
He tries waking her up.
He carried her bridal style to a private room, excusing himself from the party. Aarav watched them leave, unable to get Aadhya out of his mind.
Aarav (thinking): "The innocence in her eyes touched my heart. I can’t stop thinking about her."

**In the Private Room**
Agastya laid Aadhya on the bed, his heart pounding with fear and guilt. He felt her forehead and realized she was burning with fever.
Agastya (softly): "Aadhya, why didn’t you tell me earlier? I would never have left you like this."
Aadhya, barely conscious, tried to smile.
Aadhya (weakly): "You were so busy, Agastya. I didn’t want to bother you."
Agastya (holding her hand): "I am always with you, Aadhya. I can’t leave you alone like this."
For the first time in months, Agastya felt a pang of regret. He had been so absorbed in his work that he had neglected the most important person in his life.
Agastya (thinking): "I have caused her so much pain. Now, I have to make everything right."

**The Next Morning**
Aadhya woke up feeling slightly better, but still weak. Agastya had stayed by her side all night, his guilt and concern evident in his eyes. He helped her sit up and brought her some water.
Agastya: "You shouldn’t go to the hospital today. You need to rest."
Aadhya (smiling faintly): "I’m fine, Agastya. Don’t worry so much."
Agastya (firmly): "No, Aadhya. You have to take care of your health. I am nothing without you."
Aadhya looked at him, tears welling up in her eyes. For the first time in months, she felt a glimmer of hope. Maybe, just maybe, their love could heal the wounds that had formed between them.
Aadhya (softly): "I love you very much, Agastya. I just want us to be like we were before."
Agastya (holding her close): "We will definitely be like that again, Aadhya. I promise you."
As they held each other, both realized that the road to mending their relationship would be long and difficult. But with love and determination, they could find their way back to each other.

**Meanwhile, Aarav**
Aarav couldn’t stop thinking about Aadhya. Her innocence, her beauty, and the pain in her eyes had touched his heart deeply. He wanted to know more about her, to understand the source of her sorrow.
Aarav (thinking): "Her simplicity was clear on her face. I want to meet her, to understand her. What is this feeling? I have never felt something like this?"
