Subah ki halki roshni ne Anaya ko car ke seat me jagaya.
Kal raat ka baarish aur contract ka moment ab bhi uske dimaag me ghoom raha tha.
Aarav silent tha, bas steering wheel pakde khada.
"Hospital?" Anaya ne poocha.
"Doctors informed hain," Aarav ne calm tone me kaha.
Uski awaaz me ab bhi authority aur control tha, lekin kuch softness bhi chhupi si thi.
Anaya ne apni bag me contract document dekha.
Ye sirf signature ka paper nahi tha… ye uski zindagi ke naye rules set karne wala tha.
Jaise hi car hospital ke gate par ruki, Aarav ne ek subtle warning diya:
"Remember, Anaya… contract sirf hum dono ka nahi, isme kuch unseen rules bhi involved hain. Jo kuch bhi hoga… predictable nahi hoga."
Anaya ka dil tez dhadak raha tha.
Uske andar fear aur curiosity ka mix tha.
Majboori ke saath haan kehna… aur Aarav ka mysterious aura… sab uske liye ek puzzle tha.
Doctors ne sirf ek line boli:
"Condition critical, next 24 hours matter karenge."
Anaya ne deep breath li… aur ek thought dimag me aaya:
"Agar ye sirf majboori nahi, aur kuch aur bhi kismat me chhupa hai… toh mai ready hoon?"
