Room me ab khamoshi thi…
Wo aadmi ja chuka tha.
Aarohi (Shivanya) aur Arjun ek dusre ke saamne khade the.
"Tum… sach me Shiv ho?" Aarohi ne dheere se pucha.
Arjun ne seedha jawab nahi diya…
Bas uski aankhon me dekha.
"Kuch connections explain nahi hote…" usne softly kaha,
"Bas feel hote hain."
Aarohi ka dil ajeeb sa feel kar raha tha.
Jaise wo usse pehle se jaanti ho.
"Jab maine tumhe dekha…" Arjun bola,
"toh mujhe sab yaad aane laga…"
Flash—
Mandir… khoon… Shivanya…
Aarohi ke aansu nikal aaye.
"Main tumhe bachaa nahi paayi…" usne dheere se kaha.
Arjun uske kareeb aaya…
"Is baar mauka hai," usne softly kaha,
"sab theek karne ka."
Silence.
Lekin…
Aarohi ka face suddenly serious ho gaya.
"Wo aadmi…" usne kaha,
"wo abhi bhi zinda hai."
Arjun ne haan me sir hilaya—
"Sirf zinda nahi… powerful bhi."
"Kaun hai wo?" Aarohi ne pucha.
Arjun ne dheere se kaha—
"Mahir."
Room me hawa heavy.
"Naagmani ke peeche tha…" Arjun bola,
"aur ab bhi hai."
Aarohi ki aankhein glow karne lagi—
"Is baar wo nahi bachega."
⚔️ FIRST REVENGE PLAN
Raat.
City ka ek bada bungalow.
Mahir ke aadmi wahan the.
"Yahin se sab start hoga…" Arjun ne kaha.
Aarohi ne apna Naagin form activate kiya…
Aankhein green…
Aura powerful.
"Ready?" Arjun ne pucha.
Aarohi ne seedha jawab diya—
"Main 20 saal se ready hoon."
🔥 ATTACK
Andhera.
Silence.
Ek guard gate par khada tha.
Tabhi…
Uske saamne ek saanp raste se nikla.
"Shit…" guard peeche hata.
Next second—
Saanp transform hua…
Aarohi.
"Tum…" guard react bhi nahi kar paaya—
HISSSS 🐍
Aur wo zameen par gir gaya.
Ek ek karke…
Aarohi ne sab guards ko khatam kar diya.
Uski speed…
Uska control…
Sab perfect.
Arjun door se sab dekh raha tha.
"Ye ab weak nahi hai…" usne dheere se kaha.
💔 EMOTIONAL MOMENT
Attack ke baad…
Aarohi ruk gayi.
Uske haath thode kaanp rahe the.
"Main… ye sab kar rahi hoon…" usne dheere se kaha.
Arjun uske paas aaya…
"Ye badla hai," usne softly kaha,
"aur tumhare paas reason hai."
Aarohi ne uski taraf dekha—
"Par main ab bhi insaan hoon…"
Arjun ne uska haath pakda—
"Isliye tum alag ho."
Silence.
Dono ke beech ek connection strong hone laga.
⚡ MAHIR ENTRY
Tabhi…
Clap ki awaaz aayi.
"Impressive…"
Dono ne mudkar dekha—
Mahir.
Dark outfit… confident smile.
"20 saal baad…" usne Aarohi ko dekha,
"finally tum apna badla lene aayi ho."
Aarohi ka face cold—
"Aaj tumhara end hai."
Mahir hansa—
"End?"
"Ye toh bas beginning hai."
Arjun aage badha—
"Is baar tum bachoge nahi."
Mahir ne usse dekha—
"Ah… punarjanm wala lover…" usne tease kiya.
Arjun ka gussa badh gaya.
"Shiv ho ya Arjun…" Mahir bola,
"tum dono ka end same hoga."
⚡ POWER CLASH
Aarohi ne attack kiya—
Green energy blast.
Mahir ne easily block kar diya.
"Still not enough…" usne kaha.
Arjun ne bhi attack join kiya.
Dono ek saath.
Lekin…
Mahir ab bhi strong.
"Naagmani ke bina…" usne kaha,
"tum mujhe nahi hara sakte."
Shock.
Aarohi ruk gayi—
"Naagmani…?" usne dheere se kaha.
Mahir muskuraaya—
"Wo ab bhi mere paas nahi hai…"
"Lekin main usse dhoond lunga."
Aur phir—
"Tab tak… enjoy the game."
⚡ Smoke.
Aur Mahir gayab.
🔥 END MOMENT
Silence.
Aarohi heavy saans le rahi thi.
"Wo ab bhi humse strong hai…" Arjun ne kaha.
Aarohi ki aankhon me determination—
"Toh hum aur strong banenge."
"Kaise?" Arjun ne pucha.
Aarohi ne dheere se kaha—
"Naagmani dhoond ke."
Hawa tez chalne lagi…
Aur kahani ab ek naye mission par aa gayi—
