In their high school's bustling halls, Saranyu was known for her distant demeanor, a frosty facade that seemed to repel any attempt at warmth or connection. Despite her icy exterior, she held a hidden longing, a silent hope for something more beneath the surface.

Enter Rudra, the new kid with a heart of gold. From the moment he arrived, he made it his mission to break through Saranyu's barriers with his unwavering kindness. He went out of his way to help her, to make her smile, but no matter what he did, Saranyu remained distant, her true feelings kept tightly guarded.

Chhaya, Saranyu's childhood friend, watched their dynamic with a mix of concern and affection. She knew the real Saranyu, the one behind the icy mask, and she longed to see her friend find happiness. Meanwhile, Aksha, another childhood friend, struggled to understand Saranyu's aloofness. Despite their shared history, he found himself unable to penetrate the walls she had built around herself.

As Rudra's efforts to reach Saranyu's heart continued, Aksha's jealousy grew. He couldn't bear to see Rudra getting closer to Saranyu, especially when he harbored feelings for her himself. In a moment of desperation, he tried to sabotage Rudra's plans, but Chhaya inadvertently foiled his attempts.

As Aksha's actions threatened to push him over the edge, Chhaya intervened, refusing to let him become someone he wasn't. Through her guidance, Aksha began to see the error of his ways, and he eventually let go of his jealousy and accepted the bond between Rudra and Saranyu.

In the end, their shared experiences brought them closer together, fostering mutual trust, sympathy, and empathy. And as they stood on the brink of a new chapter, they realized that sometimes, understanding and forgiveness are the keys to forging lasting connections.

NOTE : It's a sequel to "Lost" and cannot be read as a standalone. ● ♡ ● "Are there any stars?" She inquires and he doesn't understand what she meant. There were no stars. "Can you see the moon up there?" She continues. There was no moon. "It's dark." Ayansh replies when he sees her waiting for his response. Inaaya turns her gaze to him, a peculiar look swimming in her eyes. "Exactly." Ayansh looks back at her, more confusion getting painted over his face. "It's dark. No stars, no moon, nothing." Inaaya adds solemnly. "That's how we're and that's how things between us stand. I trusted you and you broke it and that's the end. There's no hope or light here. All there ever will be around is despair." Ayansh listens to her and after a moment, carefully, takes a step ahead and a slight relief washes over him when she doesn't flinch. "Look up again." He whispers and after a little reluctance, she follows. "Surely it's dark," he says as she watches the sky ardently. "But it doesn't promise to be dark forever," he murmurs lowly and her heart thuds against her ribcage at the determination his voice held. "It's dark today but tomorrow? Maybe tomorrow, there will be stars and the moon too. Maybe tomorrow, you can see the light and the hope too. Maybe tomorrow, the despair would fade away." 🥀 That's the thing about soulmates; they always find a way to each other. ALWAYS. Ayansh Mehra and Inaaya Rai were a little naive, a little foolish in love but oh, they were so in love and it would be a shame if they couldn't find their way back to each other, to the arms they belong, to their HOME.

In a conservative South Indian college, a 27-year-old lecturer and a 19-year-old student from a traditional family navigate a forbidden love. Their journey is filled with romance, jealousy, passion, and anger as they battle societal norms and their own emotions, leading to moments of intense connection and heart-wrenching conflicts. Their eyes met, and the world around them seemed to fade. For a moment, it was just the two of them, the music, and the unspoken connection between them. "Sir, this is..." she began, but he cut her off. "Arjun," he said softly. "Just Arjun tonight." Her lips parted in surprise, but she nodded. "Okay... Arjun. "You look beautiful tonight," he murmured, his voice so soft she almost didn't hear him. Her breath hitched, and she felt her cheeks grow warm. "Thank you... Arjun." He smiled at her use of his name, and for a moment, they forgot about their surroundings. As the song ended, there was a brief shuffle on the dance floor as students moved around. In the commotion, someone bumped into Ananya, causing her to lose her balance. Arjun instinctively reached out to steady her, pulling her close. The sudden movement brought their faces mere inches apart. Before either of them could process what was happening, their lips brushed in a fleeting, accidental kiss. Time seemed to freeze. Ananya's eyes widened in shock, while Arjun's grip on her waist tightened slightly before he quickly stepped back. "I... I didn't mean to-" he began, his voice filled with panic. "It's okay," she interrupted, her face flushed with embarrassment and something she couldn't quite name. They glanced around, relieved to see that no one had noticed the incident. "Maybe we should... step outside for some fresh air," Arjun suggested, his composure barely intact. Ananya nodded, following him out to the garden area, where the cool night air helped calm their racing hearts. ---------------------------------------------------
