She drifted into the kind of sleep where time melts and reality blurs, her mind sinking deep into the unknown. Everything was still, grounded in darkness, until—without warning—a blinding light appeared.
It emerged from a tiny, foreign object, something not of this world. She wasn't on Earth anymore. Where am I? Her mind raced, but her feet carried her across a landscape unfamiliar, dreamlike. Suddenly, the object exploded—five brilliant fragments scattered across the horizon, each one pulsating with life.
The dream jolted. She awoke, heart racing. What the hell was that? Talking to herself felt surreal. But those five pieces of light... there was something about them.
She named them. One she knew instinctively—Preeti. It was her, after all. But the others? There was a stillness about them, yet a sense of life simmering underneath. She called them Gentleman, Heart of Gold, Starry Eyes, and the one that lingered furthest away— Secret Admirer.
Why did it feel like they were all connected, like pieces of a cosmic puzzle? And why, in the pit of her stomach, did she feel that she wasn't just one, but all five? Are they part of me? Or something more? Questions flooded her mind. Could they be soulmates? Was she destined to find one of them? Or was it something more profound, a bond that went beyond love?
Universe, give me a sign. Are we truly connected, bound by some unseen force? Or maybe, just maybe, this isn't about love at all. Maybe it's about something larger, something that ties us all together, five souls chasing the same light, the same truth.
But what if one of them *is* my soulmate? How would I even know? What if, right now, across the world, each one of us is reaching for our highest potential—waiting for the moment when we collide again?
