Before you all start reading the chapter, I want to ask you something—Is the story cover and title good, or should I change it? What do you all think?

Paas aaye..
Dooriyaan phir bhi kam naa hui
Ek adhuri si hamari kahani rahi
Aasmaan ko zameen, ye zaroori nahi
Jaa mile..jaa mile..
Ishq saccha wahi
Jisko milti nahi manzilein..manzilein..

Rang the, noor tha
Jab kareeb tu tha
Ek jannat sa tha, yeh jahaan
Waqt ki ret pe kuch mere naam sa
Likh ke chhod gaya tu kahaan

Hamari adhuri kahani..
Hamari adhuri kahani..
Hamari adhuri kahani..
Hamari adhuri kahani..

Abhi:- I......

Listening to Abhi, Ananya, who had been pretending to sleep, suddenly stirred, her eyes fluttering open. She sat up in bed,and said,

Ananya:- Tumne meri baat maanli,tum karoge na dusri shaadi, manoge na meri ye aakhri wish?

(You accepted my request, right? You will marry again, won’t you? You’ll fulfill this last wish of mine, won’t you?)

Abhi shook his head gently, his voice low and filled with resolve.

Abhi:- Ye baat toh mai tumhari kabhi nahi maane wala.....mai ye keh raha tha ki,kal hamara tumhare liye appointment hai toh be ready.

(That’s one thing I’ll never agree to... I was saying that tomorrow we have an appointment for you, so be ready.)

Ananya’s gaze softened, but her voice trembled slightly as she tried to argue.

Ananya:- Abhi,roz roz kisi ek naye doctor se appointment lene se sach nahi badalne wala sach yahi rahega ki mai....

(Abhi, taking a new appointment with a doctor every day won’t change the truth. The truth remains that I...)

Before Ananya could continue, Abhi placed a finger gently on her lips, silencing her with a quiet, yet firm, gesture.

Abhi:- Aisa kuch nahi hoga aur maa ne kal tumhare liye pooja bhi rakhwayi hai toh Pooja complete karne ke baad hum doctor ke pass chalenge.

(Nothing like that will happen. And Mom has also arranged a prayer for you tomorrow, so after the prayer, we’ll go to the doctor.)

Ananya nodded, her eyes still filled with a mix of hope and resignation, while Abhi lay down beside her. He pulled her close, his chest rising and falling with a deep, steady breath as he wrapped his arms around her, feeling the warmth of her body against his.

Abhi(thinking):- I hope kal sab acha ho.

(I hope everything goes well tomorrow.)

With that, both drifted off into a peaceful sleep,

Meanwhile,

Meanwhile, Kahani was packing her bag, preparing to finally leave her bua's house.

Aruna:- Kaha ja rahi hai tu?

( Where are you going?)

Kahani:- Kahi bhi jaungi par ab aapke saath nahi rahungi.

(Anywhere but I just won’t stay with you anymore.)

She said,

Aruna:- Aise haalat mai kaha jayegi?Dusro ki zindagi toh tune kharab kar hi rakhi hai ab kya apne hone wale bacche ki bhi zindagi kharab karna chahti hai.
