Hope you're all this story 😄😄
Late Night 🌙
Location: Udaipur, India
Aarohi’s Room: dim light, suitcase on bed, her sister’s photo beside a candle.
Sunita Singh (fl mom)
Sunita Sharma (FL’s mom):
👍 Aarohi beta… it’s been 10 days. You’ve barely said a word since the funeral.
Aarohi (fl)
Aarohi Sharma (FL):
I don't know how to talk, Ma.
Every corner of this house reminds me of her.
Of Naina. 😔👍
Sunita Singh (fl mom)
Beta, are you sure you’re ready to return home?
After everything you’ve been through with Ritesh… 😔
Aarohi (fl)
Ma… I’m not healed.
But I lost Naina. I can’t lose my nephew too. 😢
Rajendra Singh (fl dad)
Arjun hasn’t slept. The baby keeps crying at night.
You were the only one he calmed down for.
Aarohi (fl)
I know.
He held my finger today like he knew me.
Like she passed a piece of herself into him. 😔

Text from Arjun (ML):
Arjun(ml)
📩 “Don’t think I’ve forgotten your past.”
📩 “You walked out of your husband’s home. Failed at marriage.”
📩 “Now you want to play mother? Savior?” ❄️
Aarohi (fl)
I didn’t leave because I “failed.”
I left because I was bleeding in silence every night.
Because I was treated like a punching bag. 💔
Ask Naina — she was the only one who knew.
Arjun(ml)
She cried for you.
And now she’s gone.
And they all want you to take her place.
You think you deserve that?
Aarohi (fl)
No.
I don’t think I deserve anything anymore.
But your son — her son — deserves a mother.
Arjun(ml)
Then understand this:
We marry.
But there will never be love between us.
Only duty. Only silence. ❄️
Aarohi stood by the window, remembering Ritesh’s fists.
His voice.
The nights she wanted to disappear.
And now… she was walking into another loveless home.
Not as a wife.
But as a shadow.
As Naina’s ghost.
Aarohi (fl)
(whispers to herself):
Maybe pain is my only companion.
But if I can protect that child…
Even if Arjun hates me…
Then I’ll wear her shoes.
Even if they don’t fit. 💍😔
episode 2
Location: Malhotra Mansion – Wedding Day
Time: Evening, dim lights, no music... only silence.
Sunita Singh (fl mom)
Aarohi beta… we’re outside.
Ready when you are.
Aarohi (fl)
Ma, this doesn’t feel like a wedding.
I’m wearing Naina’s saree. Her bangles.
Even the baby’s crib still smells like her.
Rajendra Singh (fl dad)
Beta, today is not about happiness. It’s about responsibility.
That boy needs a family. A mother.
Aarohi (fl)
And what about a father who won’t look at me without hate?
What kind of family is that, Papa?
📩 New message – Arjun Malhotra
Rajendra Singh (fl dad)
Come down. Let’s get this over with.
Aarohi (fl)
Aarohi walked down the staircase slowly, every step a reminder of who she wasn’t.
Guests stared — not in celebration, but in confusion.
A sister. A widow. A broken woman.
What kind of bride was this?
Arjun (fl ex husband)
“You’re worthless, Aarohi.” Smack.
“No one will want you. Not even your own shadow.”
She stands next to Arjun at the mandap.
He doesn’t meet her eyes.
Not even when the priest says —
？？？
Pandit ji:
Tied the knot around her nick beta
Her hand trembles as she lifts it.
Arjun doesn’t move.
Her father gently takes her hand and places it on Arjun’s palm.
He doesn’t close his fingers around hers.
The fire crackled between them.
But there was no warmth.
Only cold stares, unspoken accusations.
And a lifetime being signed away in silence.
Sunita Singh (fl mom)
It’s done.
You're his wife now, beta.
Aarohi (fl)
No, Ma.
I’m not his wife.
I’m his burden.
In the car – just the two of them. Baby in the backseat, sleeping.
Aarohi (fl)
Thank you… for not walking away at the mandap.
Arjun(ml)
Don’t thank me.
I didn’t do it for you.
I did it for him.
My son. Her son.
Arjun(ml)
You don’t.
You think this is redemption for leaving your abusive husband?
Or for missing your sister’s last breath?
It’s not.
You’re just the least worst option. That’s all.
Aarohi (fl)
I’ve been the worst option before.
I survived that.
I’ll survive this too.
episode 3
Malhotra Mansion – Bedroom
First night after the wedding. The silence is deafening.
Aarohi (fl)
Is this… my room now?
Arjun(ml)
No.
It was her room.
Now, it’s just a place with two strangers in it.
Aarohi looks around. Nothing has changed.
Naina’s perfume lingers in the air. Her scarf still hanging on the mirror.
The baby is asleep in the next room.
Aarohi (fl)
You didn’t touch anything…
Since she died.
Arjun(ml)
Touching anything would mean accepting that she’s gone.
That you’re here instead.
Aarohi (fl)
I didn’t ask for this.
Arjun(ml)
But you still said yes.
Married me. Took her place.
Why?
Aarohi (fl)
Because your son stopped crying when I held him.
Because I looked into his eyes and saw her.
Because I owed Naina… and myself.
Arjun(ml)
Don’t say her name like you understand what I lost.
You weren’t there when she was dying!
You didn’t hold her hand!
She kept asking for you… and you were gone! 😡
Aarohi (fl)
I wasn’t “gone.”
I was running from Ritesh.
He… locked me in our flat for days.
He said if I stepped out, he’d kill me.
Arjun(ml)
(pause):
I… didn’t know.
Aarohi (fl)
No one did.
Except Naina.
She begged me to leave him.
I was hiding in a shelter when you called about her.
Arjun(ml)
(quietly):
And I blamed you.
For not being there.
For not saving her.
Aarohi (fl)
I couldn’t even save myself.
Arjun(ml)
(bitterly):
Still… it had to be you.
The sister with scars and silence.
Now wearing her bangles… lying in her bed.
Aarohi (fl)
(voice trembling):
I wear them because I lost her too.
And because your son doesn’t care whose blood I carry — only whose arms feel safe.
Arjun(ml)
(steps closer, tension rising):
Don’t act like a martyr, Aarohi.
You didn’t save her. You didn’t save me.
Now you want to save him?
Aarohi (fl)
(defensive, stepping back):
Yes. Because you’re too busy mourning to see your son still alive.
You sleep with grief. I sleep with guilt.
We’re not a couple. We’re just two ghosts in one room.
Arjun(ml)
(angry, but voice lowers):
Then why does it still bother me…
when you cry silently and pretend you’re strong?
Aarohi turns away, her shoulders shaking.
Arjun stares — angry, hurt, confused
Arjun(ml)
(softly):
Go to sleep.
The baby will wake up soon.
Aarohi (fl)
(whispers):
He’s the only one who doesn’t hate me in this house.
The light switches off.
Two people lie on either side of the bed —
not touching, not speaking…
but carrying storms inside their hearts
That's all for today bye 👋👋👋
