Author's Note 🦋 ​Welcome to Promise: Her Last Wish. ​This is a flashback-based journey where the vibrant light of the past meets the silent shadows of the present. While Arunima is the eternal flame and heart of this story, Vaani serves as the healer-a side character and catalyst whose mission is to mend a broken man, not replace a lost soul. --- Main Characters🦋 ​Krushan Malhotra 🎤 ​Krushan is the Brooding Hero and the masked singer, "Theforeverguy." He is deeply cynical, heartbroken, and often rude due to the profound grief over Arunima's death. He is fiercely loyal, with his entire life dedicated to fulfilling Arunima's last wish, which forces him to live a life of painful self-sacrifice behind a mask. ​Arunima Thakur 🌻 ​Arunima is The Sunshine Girl, characterized by her cheerfulness, genuine kindness, and optimism. She was the light in Krushan's life and was courageous enough to stand up to societal pressure. Her selfless nature meant her final thought was not about herself, but about ensuring Krushan survived and achieved his dreams, making her the eternal driving force of the story. ​Vaani Sharma 🎧 ​Vaani is The Healer and The Flawed Heroine. She is shy and introverted, often struggling with a speech impediment. Despite this, she possesses immense inner courage, using her role as a fan to break through Krushan's shell. She is profoundly empathetic and selfless, accepting her role as a catalyst to heal Krushan emotionally so he can complete his promise to Arunima, even though it results in rejection. --- Tropes 🦋 ●​The Brooding Hero ●​Hidden Identity ●​The Star-Crossed Lovers ●​The Deceased Love Interest ●​Bound by a Promise ●​The Sunshine Girl (1st FML) ●​The Fan Girl and Flawed (2nd FML) ●​The Healer / The Catalyst ●​Forced Proximity ●​Second Chance ​Rejection ●​Tragic Ending ●​Fated Reunion ●Forbidden love
