The hospital smelled like antiseptic and regret.Aarav sat outside the ICU, staring at his hands.They were shaking not from fear but from realization "I saved him…" he whispered "But I killed her."The doctor walked out.His face said everything.
Before his words did.
"I'm sorry."
Aarav didn't cry not yet because something inside him refused to accept it.He closed his eyes and suddenly ,he saw it again TOMORROW. A funeral rain failing and his father standing still broken .Aarav opened his eyes sharply.
"No…" he breathed
He stood up and think if he could change one future then he could change this too.But a voice in his mind whispered:What will you lose this time?The next day came faster than it should have like time itself wanted to rush him.
At the funeral ,
Aarav watched everything.
Every movement.
Every second.
And then he saw it A man standing far away watching,not grieving,not moving just watching Aarav felt something cold run down his spine because he recognized him.
Not from today but from tomorrow...
