Love Beyond Time
Love beyond time
Aaraav (ML)
Aarav Mehta (28 years old) – A passionate historian who spends his days studying ancient artifacts. With deep brown eyes and a quiet charm, he has always been fascinated by lost love stories from the past.
Ishita(FL)
Ishita Roy (25 years old) – A free-spirited artist who paints emotions rather than just pictures. She has expressive hazel eyes and a radiant smile that can light up even the darkest of days.
Maharani Devyani (past lover of ml)
Maharani Devyani (24 years old, from the past) – A princess from the 17th century, known for her ethereal beauty, intelligence, and a tragic love story that was never completed.
Ishita(FL)
[Typing…] Hey, history buff. Still buried in your old books?
Aaraav (ML)
[Typing…] You know me too well. Just found something interesting in an old diary.
Ishita(FL)
Another love story from the past? You always get too involved in those.
Aaraav (ML)
This one’s different. It’s not just a story—it feels… unfinished. Like it’s waiting to be completed.
Ishita(FL)
Sounds like someone else I know.
Aaraav (ML)
What’s that supposed to mean?
Ishita(FL)
Never mind. So, what’s in the diary?
Aaraav (ML)
It belonged to a princess—Maharani Devyani. She fell in love with someone, but they were separated before they could reunite. No one knows what happened to them.
Ishita(FL)
That’s tragic. But why do you look so obsessed?
Aaraav (ML)
Because… when I read it, I felt something. Like I was there. And just now, the candle in my room flickered. The air feels… strange.
Ishita(FL)
You’re creeping me out. Maybe it’s time to sleep?
Aaraav (ML)
Wait… the diary’s glowing. I—
17th Century – Royal Palace
Aarav opens his eyes to find himself standing in a grand palace. The scent of roses and sandalwood fills the air. In front of him, a woman in regal attire stares at him, her deep eyes filled with shock… and recognition.
Maharani Devyani (past lover of ml)
Whispers You came back…
Aaraav (ML)
Stunned Back? Wait—where am I?
Maharani Devyani (past lover of ml)
Smiling softly Right where you were meant to be.

chapter 2 love beyond time
[17th Century – Palace Gardens]
Aarav’s pulse quickens as he turns to face the shadowy figure. The man, dressed in dark royal robes, steps forward, his eyes sharp and filled with suspicion.
Mysterious Man
Coldly You should not be here.
Maharani Devyani (past lover of ml)
Whispers Aarav, don’t say anything.
Aarav clenches his fists, his mind spinning. He doesn’t understand how or why he’s here, but something inside him tells him to trust Devyani. He glances at her, then back at the man.
Aaraav (ML)
Firmly Who are you?
Mysterious Man
The one who ended your story once before. And I will do it again.
Aarav barely has time to react before guards appear, surrounding them. Devyani grabs his hand and pulls him through the garden, her long royal gown flowing behind her as they run.
Aaraav (ML)
Panting Who was that?!
Maharani Devyani (past lover of ml)
Urgently The Senapati—my father’s most trusted warrior. He was the one who betrayed us. He was the reason you—
She stops abruptly, pain flickering in her eyes. Aarav senses it—this isn’t the first time they’ve tried to run.
Aaraav (ML)
Breathless Devyani, tell me… what happened to me?
Maharani Devyani (past lover of ml)
Softly You died saving me.
[Present Day – Ishita’s Apartment]
Ishita stares at the diary, her breath shaky. The words on the page have changed again.
"He is in danger."
A sudden chill runs down her spine. Aarav isn’t just lost in a dream—he’s trapped in the past.
Ishita(FL)
Muttering No. I won’t let this happen.
Her hands tremble as she grabs a paintbrush and starts painting. The only way she knows to connect to Aarav now is through her art. With every stroke, she brings the palace to life—the flickering torches, the rushing figures, the dark-robed warrior… and Aarav, standing in the middle of it all.
Ishita(FL)
Whispers Come back to me, Aarav…
[Scene: 17th Century – Secret Passageway]
Aarav and Devyani rush through a dimly lit corridor, torches casting eerie shadows on the stone walls.
Aaraav (ML)
Thinking fast If I died saving you… how am I here now?
Maharani Devyani (past lover of ml)
Because time is giving us another chance. But we don’t have long.
Aarav feels it then—a strange pull, like an invisible thread tugging at his soul. The more he runs, the stronger it gets. Like something—someone—is calling him back.
Ishita(FL)
Suddenly stopping Ishita…
Maharani Devyani (past lover of ml)
Confused Who?
Aarav blinks. For a moment, he sees two realities—one where he’s in this passageway, running for his life… and one where he’s sitting in Ishita’s studio, watching her paint.
Her eyes are filled with unspoken love. The same love he once saw in Devyani’s eyes.
A painful truth hits him—he was never meant to stay in this past. His love story isn’t here. It’s in the present.
Before he can say anything, the corridor begins to glow. The pull intensifies, and suddenly—
[Scene: Present Day – Ishita’s Studio]
Aarav gasps as he crashes onto the floor, his body trembling. Warm, golden light surrounds him, fading as he blinks up at Ishita.
She’s frozen, paintbrush in hand, staring at him in shock.
Ishita(FL)
Whispers You came back…
Aarav exhales, his chest tightening as he looks at her—really looks at her.
Aaraav (ML)
Softly I think I was always supposed to.
[Epilogue: A Love That Spans Time]
The diary lies open beside them. The last words written in its ancient ink:
"Some love stories never end. They just find new beginnings."
chapter 3 love beyonds time
[Scene: Present Day – Ishita’s Studio]
Aarav sits on the floor, still catching his breath. His mind is spinning—one moment, he was running through a palace, holding Devyani’s hand, and now he’s back, staring at Ishita. The scent of oil paints and old books replaces the lingering sandalwood from the past.
Ishita drops her paintbrush, eyes wide.
Ishita(FL)
Barely whispering Aarav… what just happened?
Aarav looks at the diary beside him, its pages completely blank now. The ancient ink—the words of Devyani’s love story—are gone. As if they had never existed.
Aaraav (ML)
Shaken I was there, Ishita. In the past. With her.
Ishita(FL)
Kneeling beside him Devyani?
Aarav nods, his chest heavy. His fingers brush over the diary’s worn pages, but it no longer glows. It’s just an old book now. A relic of a love long lost.
Aaraav (ML)
Softly She let me go.
Ishita(FL)
Confused What do you mean?
Aarav swallows hard, emotions crashing into him. He remembers Devyani’s eyes, the pain in them when she realized he belonged elsewhere. The way the golden light had pulled him away. And most of all, the way she had whispered her final words to him:
"Find the love that was meant to be yours."
He looks at Ishita then—really looks at her. The concern in her hazel eyes, the way her hands tremble slightly, how she’s always been there. Always waiting. And suddenly, it’s so clear.
Aaraav (ML)
Voice rough I think… I was meant to find you.
[Scene: One Week Later – Old Fort Ruins
The sun sets behind the ancient ruins where Aarav first found the diary. He stands at the edge of a crumbling balcony, staring out at the horizon. Ishita stands beside him, the breeze playing with her hair.
Ishita(FL)
Teasing You’re thinking about her, aren’t you?
Aaraav (ML)
Smiling softly A part of me will always wonder. But… she gave me a gift. A second chance.
Ishita turns to him, searching his face.
Ishita(FL)
And what will you do with it?
Aarav takes her hand in his, fingers lacing together like they were always meant to fit. He sees the way her breath hitches, the way her lips part slightly in surprise. And he knows—he’s finally home.
Aaraav (ML)
Gently This time… I won’t let love slip away.
Ishita’s smile is radiant as she leans into him, her forehead resting against his. The past may have been lost, but love… love always finds a way.
As they walk away from the ruins, a soft gust of wind lifts the final page of the forgotten diary, revealing one last message—faint, but written in golden ink:
"Some souls are bound across lifetimes. But the greatest love… is the one that chooses to stay."
