Epilogue
...
20 March 20X2
Night
The citizens started to get back in their control.
The sky started to turn normal.
Everybody was confused—
"How did I come here?"
---
At that moment, everyone saw something unbelievable…
and heard something extremely loud.
---
A blast from inside the castle.
BOOOOOMMM!!!!
---
It was so massive that people assumed
the government had launched a nuclear missile.
The direction of the air changed from the blast.
---
After it ended, the castle was destroyed—
nothing was left.
---
There was a large hole.
The water of the Hindon River filled it,
but it still looked unnatural.
---
The government declared
they hadn't launched any missile.
They had no proper answer—
even the radar showed nothing.
---
They just tried to handle the chaos.
---
Kriti was looking at that place.
BOOM.
---
She screamed—
"SIDDHARTHHH!"
---
Her mood broke.
She lowered her head.
Tears flowed from her eyes.
---
She ran towards the castle.
---
There was only a huge hole
filled with river water.
---
Without hesitation, she jumped in.
She swam, trying to find him.
---
Because this time…
she knew he wouldn't come.
---
She didn't want to believe it…
But after seeing the castle—
it became the truth.
---
She kept trying.
Her heartbeat got faster.
She was unable to breathe properly.
---
Still, she kept screaming—
"SIDDHARTHHHH!"
"SIDDHARTHHHH!"
---
But there was no response.
---
After 1 week
27 March 20X2
---
She started living her life normally.
But now—
she wasn't happy.
---
She kept thinking…
He would come back like before.
But… she knew.
---
She started living quietly in school.
---
She completed her graduation
and got a job in an MNC.
After 6 years.
---
5 Apr 20X8
---
She was lying down, thinking about him.
She always tried to convince herself—
"It was a dream… a bad dream…"
---
But her heart knew the truth.
---
She got an idea.
To write a book
about the adventures of Siddharth…
and his story.
---
The title she gave—
"Adventure of Her Love Siddharth"
---
After 1 year
16 Apr 20X9
---
She received an award
for the best-selling novel.
---
At the exhibition,
she kept a fake smile.
---
Suddenly, in the crowd—
she saw a face.
A familiar face.
---
Her heartbeat skipped.
She started running towards him.
---
But…
he disappeared.
---
She felt disappointed
and went back home.
---
While going home,
she noticed someone following her.
---
A tall person.
Black jacket.
A drink in his left hand.
A black mask on his face.
---
She turned towards him.
---
Suddenly, he said—
"I AM PROPOSING YOU."
(holding the drink)
---
Kriti's eyes widened.
Tears filled her eyes.
Her hands and legs trembled.
---
The moment she heard his voice—
she recognized him.
---
It was Siddharth.
---
Because that was how he proposed her
on 13 Feb.
---
She hugged him tightly
and removed his mask.
---
There were burn scars on his face—
but he still looked the same.
---
Kriti asked,
"Where have you been…?"
Her voice had anger, tension… and happiness.
---
Siddharth replied calmly—
"After the blast, I was almost destroyed.
Only one cell of me remained…
and the stone was gone."
"My healing became slow…
and it took time."
---
Hearing this, Kriti started crying.
Her tears didn't stop.
---
Siddharth just hugged her.
---
While crying—
she fell asleep.
---
Siddharth carried her in his arms
and took her home.
---
He kept looking at her.
His eyes showed longing.
---
He sat beside her…
just watching.
---
Siddharth remembered how he survived.
---
After the stone blast—
his body was destroyed into pieces.
His mind was blank.
---
With time, his body started forming again.
It was painful…
but he had no control.
---
He lived in endless pain.
---
Slowly… his body formed completely.
But his mind was still blank.
He had lost all his memories.
---
He didn't know anything.
---
With time, he fully regenerated.
He started living normally.
Food was no longer necessary.
---
He wandered…
until he found a book.
---
"Adventure of Her Love Siddharth"
written by Kriti.
---
When he read it—
something sparked in his mind.
---
He felt a headache…
an unknown connection.
---
As the chapters continued—
his memories started coming back.
---
And now—
he remembered everything.
And came back to her.
---
Kriti woke up at night.
---
Siddharth was still looking at her.
---
Kriti asked,
"Is this a dream?"
---
Siddharth kissed her and said—
"No… it's not a dream."
---
He said softly—
"Thank you… for saving me."
"And… sorry for making you wait."
---
They hugged each other tightly.
Tears in their eyes—
but this time, they were happy.
---
Siddharth noticed something.
"You… haven't changed."
---
Kriti frowned slightly.
"Yes…"
"After I touched the stone…
my age stopped."
"I'm not getting older… like you."
---
Siddharth smiled softly
and patted her head.
---
"Don't worry…"
"Now… we can stay together… forever."
