A short story inspired by Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum.
What if Adeel hadn't returned in time? What if the forgotten son, Mustafa, rose to the occasion instead?
In this poignant reimagining, we enter an alternate timeline where Mustafa, long dismissed as irresponsible, steps up when his father's life hangs in the balance. With Adeel unreachable and time slipping away, Mustafa takes matters into his own hands to arrange the surgery that could save Iftekhar.
But when Adeel and Rubab return to a world that no longer revolves around them, old dynamics begin to unravel. Jealousy brews, insecurities flare, and the contrast between the brothers becomes sharper than ever. At the center of it all stands Sharjeena-fiercely loyal, grounded, and utterly devoted-whose unwavering bond with Mustafa becomes a quiet rebellion against everything Adeel once represented.
A story of quiet courage, shifting loyalties, and love that thrives in the shadows of expectation.
