I found myself in a thick, suffocating darkness, as though I was standing in the middle of an endless void. I looked around, my breaths shallow and rapid, but I could see nothing-only shadows that seemed to seep into my soul. Soon I realized that the trees surrounding me were dripping, slick with something dark and red. Blood.

Suddenly, a voice, cold and haunting, emerged from the blackness around me. It was the same voice that plagued him in his nightmares, accusing and relentless.

"No one will ever love you... You are destined to be alone. You cannot protect anyone, Rajveer."

The words cut through me, sharp and unforgiving. I clenched my fists, pressing my palms against my ears, desperate to drown it out. But the voice only grew louder, echoing through my mind. I collapsed to my knees, screaming in desperation. "stop... don't say that!"

Just as the weight of despair threatened to crush me a soft glow appeared in front of me, piercing through the darkness. I looked up, slowly lowering my hands, and my eyes widened in disbelief.

It was Veda. She was bathed in a gentle, warm light, her face serene, her smile filled with a kindness that soothed my heart. She began to move closer, her presence like a balm over my wounded soul.

But before she could reach me, a shadowy figure appeared from behind, grabbing her hand and pulling her away. Veda's smile faded, her eyes filled with sorrow as she was dragged into the darkness.

"Veda!" my anger surged, hotter than I ever felt. I lashed out, smashing and tearing at everything around me, the trees, the ground-all of it shattering under my rage. I roared her name, my voice filled with pain and fury, the world around me crumbling under my strength.

And then, I jolted awake, his body drenched in sweat, his fists still clenched as though he were still fighting. He took in his surroundings, breath heavy and ragged, realizing he was alone in his room. The darkness had been a dream-but the ache in his heart was real. That dream had taken Veda away from him, and the emptiness left behind was unbearable.

"Nobody is allowed to even touch...."
He said in anger while breathing heavily.
