Har kisi ko nahi milta
Yahan pyar zindagi mein
Khush-naseeb hain hum
Jinko hai mili
Ye bahaar zindagi mein
Har kisi ko nahi milta
Yahaan pyar zindagi mein.........

Arya's heart pounded like a drum in her chest, louder and faster with each passing second. She gripped her phone tighter, her breath caught in her throat, as if her body knew what was coming before her mind did. But she couldn't tear herself away from the call.
Diya(hugging Hrihaan):- Mujhe tumse kuch kehna hai.
( I have something to tell you.)
Diya(soft but clear): Wo... wo... I love you, Hrihaan... I love you.
( I...I love you Hrihaan...I love you.)
Each word hit Arya like a blow, the shock rippling through her body. Her breath hitched, and her fingers trembled as the phone slipped slightly from her grasp. The world around her faded, leaving only those words hanging in the air, suffocating her.
For a moment, there was silence. A silence so heavy that Arya's chest tightened in anticipation. Maybe, just maybe, he wouldn't say it back. Maybe there was some hope...
But then came his voice steady, calm, and utterly devastating.
Hrihaan:- Mai bhi.
(Me too.)
He had said, his voice calm, as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
It felt like the ground had been ripped from beneath her. Arya's knees buckled, and she sank into the nearest chair, her body numb, yet her heart shattered beyond repair. Her vision blurred with tears, but she couldn't blink them away. The truth hung over her like a storm cloud unavoidable and suffocating.
Arya(thinking):- Kyu?Mere saath hi aisa kyu hota hai?
(Why? Why does this always happen to me?)
The reality sank in slowly, like a heavy fog settling over her. The bond she thought they had meant nothing. He had said those words so effortlessly to Diya, the same words Arya had always yearned to hear. Her breath hitched, vision blurring as fresh tears welled up.
Arya(crying,her voice trembling):- Bhagwan ji aap hamesha mere saath aisa kyu karte hai,mai jis kisi se bhi pyar karti hu aap mujhe unse dur kar dete hai,kyu karte hai aap aisa.
(God, why do you always do this to me? Whoever I love, you take them away from me. Why do you do this?)
Her sobs grew louder, hiccuping between breaths as she clutched her chest, her heart breaking into a million pieces.
Arya(crying):- Pehle mere maa,papa ko le liya aur ab Hrihaan.Maine kya socha tha aur kya ho gaya.
(First, you took my mom and dad, and now Hrihaan. What I had thought, and what happened...)
She gasped for air, her breathing heavy, each breath hurting more than the last.
Arya(crying,voice break):- Aap mujhe kyu hi milate ho unse jo mere naseeb mai nahi hote,jab wo kisi aur ke hote hai......
(Why do you make me meet those who are not in my destiny when they already belong to someone else?)
With that, she wiped her tears shakily and forced a weak smile, trying to gather the shattered pieces of herself.
Arya(murmuring yo herself):-Par ab nahi mai kisi ki life mai nahi aana chahti aur specially Hrihaan I pray ki wo apni life mai khush rahe.
(But not anymore. I don't want to come into anyone's life, especially Hrihaan. I pray that he stays happy in his life.)
Two hours later, Hrihaan walked into the hotel room. His heart skipped a beat when he noticed it was empty. He rushed to the balcony, his pulse quickening, but there was no sign of Arya. Panic rising, he checked the washroom, but she wasn't there either. He bolted out of the room, his voice frantic as he approached the receptionist.
Hrihaan: Excuse me! Arya... the woman in room 207, where is she?
Receptionist (calmly): Sir, Madam packed her bags and left a little while ago.
Hrihaan(shocked):- Ke?
( What?)
Receptionist:- Yes sir.
Hrihaan(thinking):- Kaha gayi je achanak se.
(Where did she suddenly go?)
His mind raced as he fumbled for his phone, but when he called her, it went straight to voicemail. His stomach twisted.
Hrihaan:- Phone bhi band aaraha se,ab ke karu.
(Her phone is switched off too. What should I do now?)
With that, he hurriedly checked out of the hotel, his worry growing with every passing second. He booked the first flight home, his thoughts consumed by Arya.
In the flight, Hrihaan couldn't shake the uneasy feeling gnawing at him.
Hrihaan(thinking):- Pata na ke hua kis liye wo chali gayi ghar bataya bhi koni wo toh acha hai mamaji ko maine phone kiya toh unhone bataya ki wo batthe hai.
(I don't know what happened, why she left without telling anyone. Thankfully, I called Uncle and he told me she's at home.)
Hrihaan:-Pata na je chori ko ke ho jata se achanak se,kuch bhi karti rehti se.
( I don't know what happens to this girl suddenly. She keeps doing whatever she feels like.)
Meanwhile, at the Singhania mansion, Arya stood in her room, staring blankly at the wall. Her thoughts were a tangled mess, her heart heavy with sorrow.
Kiran entered, her voice soft yet curious.
Kiran:- Kya hua Arya,tu yaha achanak aur Hrihaan kaha hai.
(What happened, Arya? You came here suddenly, and where's Hrihaan?)
Arya forced a smile, her voice casual yet hollow.
Arya:- Kyu mai nahi aa sakti.
(Why, can't I come here?)
Kiran:- Nahi aisa nahi hai wo toh maine aise hi pucha aur Hrihaan.
(No, it's not like that. I just asked. And Hrihaan?)
Arya, avoiding eye contact, tried to divert the topic.
Arya:- Mami mujhe haina bahut bhook lagi hai aapke haath ke kadhi chawal khana hai bahut din ho gaye aap bana dogi.
(Aunt, I'm really hungry. I want to eat your homemade kadhi-chawal. It's been so long. Will you make it for me?)
Kiran(smiling):- Kyu nahi aur jo bhi khana hai sab batade mai tere liye sab bana dungi.
(Why not? Tell me everything you want to eat, I'll make it all for you.)
As Kiran left, Arya's smile vanished. Silent tears began streaming down her face once again, when she heard a soft knock on the door.
Arya quickly wiped her tears.
Arya:- Mamaji aap,aaiye na.
(Uncle, you... please come in.)
Rishabh stepped in, his eyes full of concern.
Rishabh:- Kaisi ho?
( How are you?)
Arya(smiling weakly):- Mai thik hu,mujhe kya hona hai.
(I'm fine. What could possibly be wrong with me?)
Rishabh:- Ha,hamari Arya ko kya hona hai Arya toh hamesha khush rehti hai,Tum yaha aayi tumne kisi ko bataya nahi ghar me.
(Yes, what could happen to our Arya? Arya is always happy. But when you came here, you didn't tell anyone at home.)
Arya:- Mai...mai bata kar aayi hu mamaji,Hrihaan ko bata kar aayi hu.
(I... I told him, Uncle. I told Hrihaan before coming here.)
Rishabh studied her for a moment, then said gently,
Rishabh(smiling):- Toh phir Hrihaan ka phone kyu aaya tha tumhare baare mai puchne ke liye.
(Then why did Hrihaan call asking about you?)
Arya's heart skipped a beat.
Arya:- Kya?Hrihaan ka phone aaya tha, Aur aapne use bata diya mai idhar hu.
(What? Hrihaan called? And you told him I'm here?)
Rishabh nodded, placing a loving hand on her head.
Rishabh(worried):- Kya hua tum dono ke beech kuch hua hai?koi pareshani hai toh batao mujhe.
(Did something happen between you two? If there's any trouble, tell me.)
Arya forced a smile through her pain.
Arya:- Kuch nahi mamaji wo maine usse ek nayi dress mangi thi aur usne mana kar diya.
(Nothing, Uncle. I asked him for a new dress, and he refused.)
Rishabh smiled softly.
Rishabh:- Tum abhi bhi bacchi ho Arya itni si baat par koi gussa hota hai bhala,tum bhi na..
(You're still a child, Arya. Does anyone get upset over such a small thing?)
Arya nodded absently, but her mind was far away.
Rishabh's expression softened further.
Rishabh:- Arya tumhe kabhi bhi koi bhi takleef ho bina bata dena,maine didi se wada kiya tha ki kabhi bhi apni Arya ko koi takleef nahi hone dunga aur mai wo wada todna nahi chahta,aur mai bhi apni Arya ko pareshan nahi dekh sakta.
(Arya, if you ever face any trouble, tell me without hesitation. I promised your mother that I'd never let anything bad happen to you, and I don't want to break that promise. I can't bear to see my Arya in pain.)
Arya smiled at his words, though the tears threatened to spill over once more. As Rishabh left, her facade crumbled. She broke down, her sobs uncontrollable.
Kiran re-entered the room, alarmed by Arya's state, concerned, rushing to her.
Kiran:- Arya beta,kya hua aur ye kya haal bana rakha hai.
(Arya, dear, what happened? And why do you look like this?)
Arya, her body trembling, collapsed into Kiran's warm embrace, gripping her tightly as if afraid to let go. Her voice cracked with raw emotion.
Arya(sobbing):- Mami...... hamesha mai hi kyu?
( Mami...why always me?)
Kiran gently stroked her hair, her heart aching at Arya's broken state.
Kiran(softly:- Arya pehle batao kya hua tum ro kyu rahi ho.
(Arya, first stop crying and tell me what happened. Why are you crying?)
Arya's lips quivered as she tried to speak through her sobs.
Arya(voice shaking):- Maine aisa kya kiya hai mami.....sab mujhse dur kyu ho jate hai.
(Mami, what have I done that everyone turns away from me?)
Kiran pulled her back slightly, holding her shoulders, and wiped the tears streaming down Arya's face. She spoke in a soothing voice, her touch comforting.
Kiran(softly):-Shh..... Pehle tum rona band karo aur batao mujhe kya hua?
(Shh... First, stop crying and tell me what happened.)
Arya looked away, blinking back fresh tears.
Arya:- Kuch nahi.
( Nothing.)
Kiran raised an eyebrow, her voice turning gentle yet firm.
Kiran:- Arey abhi itna ro rahi aur ab bol rahi ho kuch nahi.
(Oh, really? You've been crying so much, and now you're saying nothing.)
Arya bit her lip, her eyes shimmering with unshed tears.
Arya(whispering):- Nahi mami kuch nahi,wo bas mumma papa ki yaad aa gayi thi.
(Nothing, Aunt. I just remembered Mom and Dad.)
Kiran's expression softened further, her heart breaking for the young girl. She cupped Arya's face, her thumb brushing away the lingering moisture from her cheeks.
Kiran:- Arey agar didi dekhengi ki unki Arya aise unhe yaad karke to rahi hai toh wo kya sochengi,wo bahut udaas ho jayengi.)
(If your mother sees you crying like this, what will she think? She'll be so sad. )
Kiran gave her a reassuring smile.
Kiran:-Chalo, ek pyari si smile do. Aur suno...
(So, give me a sweet smile and listen...)
Arya sniffled, managing a small, hopeful smile.
Arya:- Kya?
( What?)
Kiran leaned in, her voice playful now.
Kiran:- Aaj shaam ko koi aa raha hai.
(Someone is coming this evening.)
Arya's brows furrowed in confusion.
Arya(curious):- Kaun?
( Who?)
Kiran's eyes twinkled as she delivered the surprise.
Kiran:- Khushi.
Arya's face lit up instantly, her earlier sorrow momentarily forgotten. Her smile widened as warmth spread through her chest.
Arya(brightly):- Khushi.
Kiran nodded, and Arya threw her arms around her, hugging her tightly. The room felt lighter, filled with Arya's renewed hope.
Comment please....
And Guess who is Khushi?
