Aaradhya wore a stunning blue salwar suit with matching earrings, perfectly complementing her golden brown skin. She was engrossed in her fashion design work at the banquet hall, which doubled as her workplace.

Just then, her client called to inquire about their costume. As she attended to the call, her worker and close friend, Divya, burst in.

"Hey, Aaru! Your baby ma (Alex) has arrived!" Divya exclaimed, trying to contain her excitement.

Aaradhya's frustration grew due to the sudden interruption. "Divya, seriously, speak correctly. What's happening?" she asked, putting down the phone.

Divya burst in, excitement radiating from her face. "Ah, ah, come, come! Arjun is waiting to solve the cake!"

Aaradhya's eyes narrowed. "Divya, what are you talking about? Solve the cake?"

Divya's face turned bright red as she realized her mistake. "No, no, I mean... We have to solve the problem. Alex is fighting with a customer."

Aaradhya's expression turned serious. "Let's go."

As they stepped out onto the ground floor, Aaradhya's jaw dropped. The room was transformed into a birthday celebration, complete with balloons, streamers, and a stunning cake.

"Who did this?" Aaradhya asked, her voice filled with wonder.

Divya grinned mischievously. "Your lovable Arjun did the cake."

Aaradhya turned to Arjun, her eyes locked on his, filled with confusion and gratitude. Arjun's gaze held a deep affection, but Aaradhya's heart didn't flutter. She didn't feel the same way.

Arjun's love for her was no secret, but Aaradhya's feelings remained platonic. She valued their friendship, but couldn't reciprocate his romantic emotions.

Overwhelmed, Aaradhya thanked Arjun and hugged Alex. "You people make my day so special. I forgot today's my birthday, and it's also the anniversary of losing my best friend," she said, her voice trembling.

Divya chimed in, "Okay, okay, save the drama for later. Cut the cake, yaar!

Drama aradhya said in serious tone

Divya said  okay sorry sorry
"Come on, Aaru, cut the cake! Everyone's waiting

Aaradhya obliged, her hands shaking slightly as she cut into the moist, velvety cake. As she took the first cake bite to Arjun.Alex and Divya teased her about feeding him  first.

You should feed us first, dii! So bad of you, Aaru!" they teased.

Sorry he did everything right

Amidst the laughter and celebration, Aaradhya's gaze drifted back to Arjun. She saw the love in his eyes and felt a pang of guilt for not feeling the same.

After the birthday celebration, Vidya (Aaradhya) returned to her apartment, shared with Divya, Arjun, and Alex. Retreating to her room, she opened her diary, revealing pages filled with memories of her tumultuous past.

"In her past life, Aaradhya had suffered a brutal fate. She had been attacked by an antagonist, left bleeding profusely on the floor. The trauma had caused a severe heart fracture, and no one came to her aid.

The memory of that fateful day still haunted Vidya, whose soul now resided in Aaradhya's body. She recalled the feeling of life draining from her, as blood spread across the room.

The scene was etched in her mind like pages filled with tears, each drop a reminder of the agony and despair. The sound of her own heartbeat, growing fainter, still echoed in her mind.

Vidya's gaze fell upon the diary, its pages yellowed with age. The words within told a tale of suffering, of a life cut short. But they also spoke of resilience, of a spirit that refused to fade.

As Vidya delved deeper into the diary, memories long buried began to resurface. The pain, the fear, the desperation – all rushed back, threatening to consume her.

Yet, amidst the darkness, a spark of determination ignited. Vidya vowed to uncover the truth behind it.
