"Pehle bhi dhadkan yeh dhun koi gaati thi,

(Even before, this heartbeat used to sing a song)

Par ab jo hua vo pehle na hota tha..!!"

(But what has happened now, never happened before..!!)💓

♡ Manvi's POV ♡

Ansh, after all these years... seeing you has brought back everything, every single memory. Why can't my heart just beat steadily? Why is my breath catching every time I look at you? Oh God, what's happening to me?

But Ansh, so much has changed about you. It seems you like beard now, not like back in college when you were always clean-shaven. Your hair is perfectly styled, your whole personality feels... different, more composed. You've put on a bit of weight, everything about you seems new. Yet, there's one thing that hasn't changed-the way you look at me with those same eyes.

Why do your eyes still feel the same? The way they see me, it's like time hasn't touched them. It's as if we're back in those days, like nothing's changed between us at all... except everything else.

"I just want to hug you... I don't care about anything else right now. I want to feel you close, to hold onto you, even if just for a moment. But I know I can't... and this urge, it's driving me crazy. But I have to control it, I have to." I told myself, trying to calm the storm inside me. But it felt impossible... this desire, this longing to just feel you close again, is overpowering everything. Yet, I have to hold back, I can't let it show."

♡ Ayaansh's POV ♡

"Finally... after all these years of longing, you're standing right in front of me. At this moment, all I want is to hug you, to feel you close, but I just can't. It's as if time hasn't touched you-your eyes, still lined with kajal, your presence, still magnetic.

I don't know what's happening to me, but I know it's because of you. You still have that effect on me, Anvi. I want to tell you everything to pour out the words that have been trapped for so long, but...

I stopped, realizing that my emotions were showing-anyone could see it. So I forced myself to calm down, close my eyes, and look down, trying to collect my thoughts. After a few moments, I looked back up, determined to keep a professional demeanor, even if my heart was a mess inside."

As the interview concluded, their eyes briefly met, both tangled in the overwhelming storm of emotions they'd kept buried for years. Ayaansh turned toward Siya, giving her a subtle signal to take Anvesha and Dipti out of the cabin. Siya, though puzzled, followed his unspoken command.
