"Jis din dua bhi khamosh ho jaaye, us din insaan ya toh toot jaata hai... ya badal jaata hai." Manek Randhawa was once a man whose life revolved around faith. God was his strength, his hope, his answer to everything. He believed that as long as he prayed, nothing truly bad could happen. But the night his girlfriend Aradhya died while giving birth to their daughter changed him forever. That night, Manek begged God with everything he had. When no miracle came, his faith collapsed. From that day on, Manek stopped believing-not in life, but in God. His daughter became his only reason to live, his only love, his only prayer. He built his world around her, protecting her with fierce devotion while keeping his own heart closed. Years later, when his daughter struggles with mathematics, Manek hires a private tutor, Madhurani Shekhawat. Soft-spoken, gentle, and warm, Madhurani unknowingly reminds him of Aradhya. Her presence awakens memories he tried to bury, stirring anger, grief, and emotions he refuses to name. This is a story of loss, silent pain, and a man standing between faith he lost and healing he never believed in.

Elara lives in two worlds - the one the world sees, and the one that follows her when the lights go out. Onstage, she is untouchable. Untamed. Worshipped. But behind the fame is a girl still haunted by a loss she never survived - only learned how to hide. Three years after tragedy shattered her past, something begins watching from the shadows. At first, it feels like exhaustion. Stress. Grief resurfacing. Until the dreams start feeling too real and reality starts feeling like a dream she can't wake from. A presence follows her - protective, dangerous, and impossibly drawn to her in a way that feels older than memory itself. He knows things about her no one should. He appears where no one else can. And every time he gets closer, the world around her becomes more unstable. More violent. More unpredictable. As whispers of the supernatural collide with buried family secrets and a past she never fully understood, Elara is forced to question everything - her memories, her grief, even the tragedy that shaped her life.

Because some bonds are not built on love. Some are built on obsession. And breaking them may cost more than her heart. Now, with unseen forces closing in and reality itself beginning to fracture, Elara must decide who she is willing to trust and what she is willing to sacrifice before something ancient decides for her. And when the truth finally steps out of the shadows- Will it save her... Or destroy everything she thought she survived?
