Between Earth & Sky

"Kya Tu Bhi Toota Hai Meri Tarah?"

"Usi Ki Talaash Mein Jo Mujhko Kho Gaya"

"Jinhe Khuda Bhi Bhool Gaya"

"Ishq Jo Jurm Ban Gaya"

"Tumne Mujhe Kaha Tha Bachane, Par Khud Kho Gaye"

"Teri Dastan Adhoori Hi Sahi"

"Main Woh Gunaah Hoon Jo Mohabbat Mein Likha Gaya"

"Jab Toot Ke Bikhra Ishq"

"Mitti Mein Mil Kar Bhi Tera Naam Zinda Hai"

Radhika (broken, but forcing calm): "You left, Krish. And you didn't even look back."

Krish (voice hard, almost trembling): "Maybe I had to. Maybe I couldn't survive if I did."

Radhika (shaking): "Then why does it still hurt like hell?"

Krish: "Because some things break deeper than bones."

Radhika (voice breaking): "You think I can love you, after everything?"

Krish (quietly): "I think you already did. And that's what scares you."

Radhika (last, almost whispering): "If love was the reason I survived... why does it feel like the reason I'm still dying?"

Tejash (low, cold):
"You destroyed her, Saraswi. You know that, right?"

Saraswi (defensive, biting back tears):
"And what about you, Tejash? You left me to drown in rumors you never denied."

Tejash:
"Sometimes silence is safer than the truth."

Saraswi (desperate):
"Tejash, please... say you didn't hate me."

Tejash (looking away):
"I never hated you. That was the problem."

Viya (soft, to Vidyut):
"Tell me it wasn't my fault, please."

Vidyut (gritting his jaw):
"You were the only reason I stayed. Don't ever say sorry for saving me."

Viya (echoing through tears):
"Then why does it feel like we all died the day school ended?"

Vidyut (bitter laugh):
"Because maybe we did."
