But when things became too real, too overwhelming, she chose distance over confrontation. Now, time is no longer a luxury-Mustapha is sick, and the man who once seemed invincible is slipping away.

"You see death far too frequently for someone who is still alive, child. " "God! Can you for once be interested in something other than dead bodies?! " "When you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes back at you. And who knows, if you stare too long - perhaps you might never truly get away from it. " "It hurts you. It breaks you. You know it does. So why do you continue to do it? " "They are only victims and culprits Kudo. They don't matter, shouldn't matter, so why do you care so much? " "Death follows you like a shadow, boy. Perhaps that's why you attract those who live in the darkness - whose very existence is evil. Don't stay in the dark too long - it sucks in those it finds enticing very quickly; and you serve its fancy well. " "Why do I do it? Why do I never escape? Why do I allow myself to live like this? Do you think I never asked that to myself? I did. But I never got an answer - and I never will. Perhaps it is because I've truly gone insane. " Some questions are never answered.

They were never meant to fall in love. She was all chaos, paint stains, and poetry. He was all silence, discipline, and scars buried deep. She sketched her feelings into margins; he hid his inside medals. She wore jhumkas when she wanted to be brave. He never took his boots off, even in peace. But when they stood next to each other-something clicked. Aarav never said "I love you"-but he brought home mittens because he remembered her hands got cold. Meher never confessed her longing-but she stitched his name inside every handmade bookmark. He was the storm that refused to touch her, and she was the calm that broke him without meaning to. They didn't dance under fairy lights or write love songs. But in between stolen glances, broken mugs, and unsent letters-they found something real. Their marriage wasn't love at first sight. It was love in silence. Love in sacrifice. Love in the kind of way that doesn't need to be loud to be eternal. Because sometimes, soulmates are just strangers... tied together by fate and undone by duty.
