Toh main sooraj

 Toh main sooraj ko jhatak dunga 

Toh main saawan ko gatak lunga 

To saare taaron sang chanda 

Main teri god mein rakh dunga

 Bas mere liye tu Khill ke 

kabhi muskura dena

"Isse bhi bara chocolate le aaunga tere liye, bas abhi vo gulab us pyari didi se chin ke le aana aur ho sake to beech mein hi use apne pairon se kuchal dena. Pata nahj wo samajh nahi rahi, to usko dikhana hoga ke kiski duniya mein wo jeeti hai kyuki meri duniya to vahi hai. Samjha? Mera haq us par hai, aur koi nahi le sakta usse."

The last few words were uncomprehendable to Vayun but he just nodded.

("I'll get you an even bigger chocolate, but right now, go snatch that rose from that sweet girl and if you can, crush it under your feet when you are coming back . Why doesn't she get it, who she truly belongs to because she is my entire world. I'll make it clear that she's mine, and no one else can have her.")

Continuation:-

The evening had wrapped itself in a warm glow, the air filled with a sense of relaxation and the murmur of conversations around the room. Aradhya sat quietly in a corner, her fingers gently tracing the soft petals of the rose she had received from Anand's cousin. She was lost in thought, unaware of the storm brewing just across the room. Anand, who had been watching her for the past few minutes, couldn't help but feel a strange sense of discomfort at the sight of her holding the rose, the one thing that was now a symbol of his jealousy.

Suddenly, a small voice broke her concentration. "Didi!" Vayun called, his tiny figure darting across the room. Aradhya turned to see Anand's little nephew running towards her, his face lit up with excitement.

"Vayun, beta, what's up?" Aradhya asked, her face softening with a smile.

Without waiting for a response, Vayun raised his tiny hand, presenting a chocolate with a cheeky grin. "Mama ne bola tha, ye aapko dena hai, kyuki aap bahut Sundar hai" he said, his voice innocent but carrying an air of mischief. 

("Uncle told me to give this to you because you are too beautiful.")

Aradhya blinked in confusion. "Mama ne?" she repeated, her eyes darting to Anand, who stood across the room, his arms crossed and watching them intently.

("Uncle?")

Vayun didn't respond, instead, he reached out quickly and snatched the rose from Aradhya's hand with surprising speed. "Thank you, Didi!" he chirped, already turning and dashing back toward Anand.

His hands fisted the rose and its petals crushed under its weight making Aradhya's heart drop a beat.

Aradhya stood there, utterly dumbfounded, watching the boy sprint away with the rose in his hand. "Vayun! Kahan jaa rahe ho? Ye kya tha?" she called out, her voice filled with amusement and confusion.
