Love Beyond Time chapter 5 of love beyond time

[Scene: 17th Century – The Dark Chamber]

Aarav stands frozen, his mind racing. Amara’s emerald-green eyes burn into his, her smirk holding something hauntingly familiar. Ishita grips his arm, sensing his unease. Devyani, still bound, looks between them with confusion.

Aaraav (ML)

Barely whispering Who… who are you?

Amara ( past lover of ml)

Tilting her head, smiling coldly Ah, you really don’t remember, do you? How tragic.

Ishita(FL)

Firmly Stop playing games. If you know why Aarav was pulled back here, tell us.

Amara steps closer, her fingers lightly tracing Aarav’s jaw. A shiver runs down his spine—not just from her touch, but from the wave of emotions crashing into him.

Amara ( past lover of ml)

Softly I don’t need to tell you. You already know me, Aarav. Because once, in another life… I was yours.

Aarav’s breath catches. The chamber fades around him, and suddenly—memories surge through him.

[Flashback: A Forgotten Love – 17th Century]

A grand palace bathed in moonlight. Aarav—no, not Aarav, but his past self, a warrior prince named Aryan—stands in a hidden courtyard. Before him is Amara, dressed in dark silks, eyes filled with passion and pain.

Amara ( past lover of ml)

(Past)Desperately Please, Aryan. Leave with me. Let us escape before it’s too late.

Aryan Aarav's past life

Torn Amara, you know I can’t. If I betray my kingdom

Amara ( past lover of ml)

(Past)Anguished What about me? Am I nothing to you?

Aryan clenches his jaw, torn between duty and love. But before he can answer—shouts ring through the night. Soldiers storm the courtyard. The Senapati’s voice echoes:

"Amara is a traitor! She must die!"

A sword flashes. Amara gasps, clutching her stomach, blood spreading across her gown. Aryan catches her as she collapses.

Amara ( past lover of ml)

(Past)Weakly, tears in her eyes You were supposed to choose me…

Her hand slips from his grasp as darkness consumes her.

[Back to Present – 17th Century Chamber]

Aarav stumbles back, his chest heaving. His eyes meet Amara’s, and for the first time, he remembers everything. The love. The betrayal. The guilt.

Aaraav (ML)

Shaken I… I let you die.

Amara ( past lover of ml)

Nods, a bitter smile on her lips And yet, you were reborn. And found her instead. [Glancing at Devyani]

Ishita and Devyani exchange confused glances. Amara turns to Devyani, eyes darkening.

Amara ( past lover of ml)

Coldly You took the love that was never meant to be yours.

Devayani stiffens.

Maharani Devyani (past lover of ml)

Defensive Aarav—Aryan—made his choice. It was fate.

Amara ( past lover of ml)

Snarling No. It was stolen from me.

The torches flicker violently. The air thickens, charged with Amara’s growing power. She raises a hand, and the shadows of the chamber shift, twisting unnaturally.

Amara ( past lover of ml)

Darkly And now, I will take back what was mine.

[Scene: Present Day – The Excavation Site]

Kabir paces near the stone tablet, worried. Aarav, Ishita, and Devyani had disappeared the moment the temple’s energy surged. He runs a hand through his hair, muttering.

Kabir (ML friend)

Frustrated This is insane. Time travel? Curses? What the hell did I get myself into?

Suddenly, the inscriptions on the tablet start glowing. A new set of words appear:

"A lost love returns, but not all is as it seems. Beware the cycle of betrayal."

Kabir’s stomach drops.

Kabir (ML friend)

Muttering Oh, this just keeps getting worse.

[Scene: 17th Century – The Chamber]

Aarav steps between Amara and Devyani, heart pounding.

Aaraav (ML)

Firmly Amara, I won’t let you hurt her.

Amara ( past lover of ml)

Softly That’s what you said last time. And yet, I was the one who died.

Her fingers tighten, and suddenly, a sharp pain shoots through Aarav’s chest. He gasps, falling to his knees. Devyani cries out, rushing to him, while Ishita grabs Amara’s wrist.

Ishita(FL)

Angrily Stop this! Aarav is not the man who betrayed you! He is someone new!

Amara ( past lover of ml)

Snarling Then why does he still choose her over me?

A pause. A painful silence fills the chamber.

Aarav looks up, struggling to breathe. His eyes lock onto Amara’s, filled with sorrow.

Aaraav (ML)

Weakly Because some things… are meant to stay in the past.

Amara flinches as if struck. Her grip loosens. The shadows flicker.

Amara ( past lover of ml)

Whispering Then why was I brought back? Why am I here?

Rudra

*voice echoes* Because even time makes mistakes

Everyone turns. Rudra steps from the darkness, his silver eyes unreadable.

Rudra

Calmly The cycle was broken once. But it is breaking again. If you do not stop now, the past and present will collapse into one.

Ishita(FL)

Alarmed What does that mean?!

Rudra

Grimly If Amara does not let go, time will reset. And none of you will exist.

Silence. Amara trembles, realization dawning.

Amara ( past lover of ml)

Softly So either I disappear… or everything does.

Her emerald eyes meet Aarav’s one last time. For centuries, she had held onto her pain, waiting for justice. But now… she had a choice.

A single tear rolls down her cheek. She closes her eyes. And then—

A brilliant golden light engulfs her. The chamber shakes. And Amara… fades.

[Scene: Present Day – Excavation Site]

Aarav, Ishita, and Devyani crash onto the ground as the golden light vanishes. Kabir stumbles back, wide-eyed.

Kabir (ML friend)

Sarcastic Oh, now you’re back.

Aarav slowly sits up, his heart heavy.

Ishita(FL)

Softly She’s gone… isn’t she?

Rudra

*Voice*Faintly Some souls find peace. Others… become the stories of time.

Aarav exhales, looking up at the ancient ruins. The past had let him go. But he would never forget Amara.

Some love stories end in tragedy. But others… find their way back home.

[Final Epilogue: The Last Inscription]

As they walk away, Kabir notices something on the stone tablet—a final, glowing inscription appearing before his eyes: "A love lost. A love found. And time… begins anew."
