So the story continues…
⚡ Flashback Ends…
Shivansh's gaze stayed fixed on the picture.
And in that moment—
Everything came rushing back.
🖤 Flashback — Years Ago
Shivansh was just four years old.
In his tiny arms—
He carefully held a baby girl.
Barely one year old.
His eyes sparkled with innocence.
As if she was something precious.
Something… that belonged only to him.
A boy stood behind him.
"What's the name of my princess?"
Shivansh asked softly.
The boy frowned.
"She's not your princess."
A pause.
"She's my sister."
Shivansh's grip tightened slightly.
Childish possessiveness flashing in his eyes.
"She might be your sister…"
"But she's my princess."
Just then—
A man entered.
"What's going on, Shivansh? Aksh?"
Aksh quickly replied—
"Nothing, Dad… we were just talking about the doll's name."
Shivansh nodded innocently.
"Yes, Uncle… we are deciding my princess's name."
The man chuckled.
"Oh really? Then what have you decided?"
Shivansh looked down at the baby girl.
His expression turned serious.
"Adya."
Silence.
Then—
He whispered softly.
"Shiv ki Adya…"
Like a promise.
The man laughed lightly.
"Alright then… her name will be Adya."
Moments later—
They took her from his arms.
Shivansh leaned forward.
Placed a soft kiss on her forehead.
"Bye, Princess…"
⚡ The Tragedy
Time passed.
At the Singh Mansion—
Preparations were going on.
A trip.
A happy moment.
But happiness—
Never lasts long.
On the way—
They were attacked.
Rivals.
Brutal.
Merciless.
Adya's parents—
Didn't survive.
But before everything turned dark—
Adya saw them.
⚡ Flashback Ends…
🖤 Present — Shivansh
Tears filled Shivansh's eyes.
His chest tightened.
Memories—
Crushing him.
Without a word—
He turned.
And walked out.
Unaware of anyone around him.
Only one thought echoed—
She is Adya.
🌙 At Adya's Side
Adya sat silently.
Trying to understand.
How did I come here…?
⚡ Flashback — Just Now
She had gone to the kitchen.
But on the way—
She saw him.
Entering a locked room.
Curiosity pulled her forward.
She followed him.
Silently.
The door was slightly open.
She stepped inside—
And froze.
On the wall—
Her pictures.
Her childhood.
Her life.
Everything.
⚡ Back to Present
Her fingers slowly traced the frame.
Her voice trembled.
"How does he know me…?"
A pause.
"And why does he call me… princess?"
Silence.
"I should talk to Bhai…"
With that thought—
She walked back to her room.
But sleep—
Didn't come easily.
Her mind replayed everything.
The pictures.
The memories.
The unanswered questions.
Confusion.
Pain.
Restlessness.
Finally—
Exhaustion won.
And she fell asleep.
⏳ Next Morning
Shivansh got ready quickly.
An important meeting awaited him.
He stepped out.
Headed toward the dining hall.
"Bhai! At least have breakfast!"
Kriti called.
"Sorry, bachha… I'm getting late."
He turned to leave—
But his eyes—
Stopped.
On her.
Adya.
Just for a second.
Then—
He looked away.
And walked toward the door.
"First eat something…"
His steps froze.
Silence.
He turned slightly.
It was her.
Adya.
A pause.
Then she added softly—
"Then go wherever you want."
🔥 Ending Moment
Their eyes met.
Unspoken past.
Unanswered questions.
And something deeper—
Neither of them was ready to accept.
