Kavya's eyes fluttered open, her vision blurred as she tried to make sense of her surroundings. The last thing she remembered was standing in the temple with Madhav, their love stronger than ever, having just unlocked the secrets of their past lives. But now, she found herself in a sterile, white room, the beeping of medical equipment filling the silence.

She felt an overwhelming sense of confusion. **Where was Madhav?** The powerful memories of their trials and the deep bond they shared were still vivid in her mind, as if they had just happened moments ago. But this place, this hospital room, felt starkly real in contrast to the fantastical world she had just been in.

Suddenly, the door to her room opened, and a woman rushed in-her sister, Navya, who had been living in London. Her face was pale with shock, her eyes filled with tears as she looked at Kavya lying there, awake.

"Kavi!" Navya exclaimed, rushing to her side. "Oh my God, you're awake!"

Kavya tried to sit up, her body feeling weak and heavy. "Navya... where is Madhav? What's going on?"

Navya gently helped her sister sit up, but her expression was one of deep concern. "Kavi, what are you talking about? There's no Madhav. You've been in a coma for two years."

Kavya's heart raced as she tried to process what her sister was saying. "No, that's not possible... Madhav and I... we were together. We completed the trials... we-"

"Kavi," Navya interrupted, her voice gentle but firm, "you were in a car accident two years ago. You've been unconscious ever since. Whatever you're remembering, it wasn't real. It must have been a dream."

Kavya's mind whirled with disbelief. **A dream?** How could everything she experienced-her love for Madhav, the trials, the powers-how could it all be just a figment of her imagination? It had felt so real, more real than anything else she'd ever known.

"No, Navya, it wasn't just a dream," Kavya insisted, her voice trembling. "It was real. I can still feel it..."

Navya sighed, her face full of sympathy. "I know it feels real, Kavi. But you've been here, in this hospital, the entire time. There's no Madhav. There never was."

Kavya's eyes welled up with tears. It couldn't be true. Everything she had gone through with Madhav, the love they shared, the battles they fought... it couldn't have just been in her head. But the stark reality of the hospital room around her, and the concern on Navya's face, made her question everything.

In a daze, she looked down at her hand, where the familiar tattoo was etched into her skin. She remembered how it had glowed when she and Madhav were together. But now, it was just a simple mark, with no signs of the magic she had once felt.

But as she touched the tattoo, something strange happened. A familiar warmth spread through her body, and she felt a faint pulse of energy. It was weak, but it was there-proof that everything she had experienced wasn't just a dream.

Kavya's breath hitched. "Navya... I can still feel it. The power... it's still there."

Navya looked at her sister with concern and confusion. "Kavi, please, don't stress yourself out. You need to focus on recovering."

Kavya shook her head, her voice growing more certain. "No, Navya. Something is happening. This isn't just a dream. I have these powers... and somehow, Madhav is real. I know it."

Navya frowned, clearly worried about her sister's state of mind. "Kavi, you need to rest. You've just woken up after two years. You're confused... it's understandable."

But Kavya wasn't listening anymore. She closed her eyes, focusing on the warmth spreading from her tattoo. As she did, memories of her time with Madhav flooded back-how they had fought together, loved each other, and unlocked their powers. She knew deep down that this wasn't just a dream. Madhav was real, and so was everything they had experienced.

"Navya, I need to find him," Kavya said, her voice determined. "I don't know how, but I know he's out there."

Navya sighed, clearly unsure of how to help her sister. "Kavi, please..."

But Kavya was already lost in her thoughts, determined to figure out what had really happened. If Madhav was out there somewhere, she would find him. And if her powers were real, she would learn how to use them to uncover the truth.

As Navya sat by her sister's side, torn between concern and confusion, Kavya made a silent vow to herself. No matter what it took, she would uncover the truth of what had happened during those two years. And if Madhav was real, if their love was real, she would find him, and they would be together again.

Because deep down, she knew that some dreams were more than just dreams. They were a window to another reality, one that she was determined to explore.
