The Soul's Unfinished Story
prologue 5
Bright light floods her face. Machines beep steadily. INARA’s eyes snap open. Her breath comes in gasps. She clutches the sheets beneath her.
Inara Shekhawat (FL)
I gasped—air like fire.
Pain.
I was alive.
Why?
Footsteps rush to her side. A soft, broken voice:
Naintara Shekhawat (FL Mother)
Inara?
INARA turns her head. Blinks through tears. MOTHER stands there, trembling, her eyes swollen from crying.
Inara Shekhawat (FL)
(hoarse)
Mumma…
She reaches out. MOTHER grabs her hand, sobbing.
A beat. Then—
Mohan Shekhawat(FL father)
Inara
INARA freezes. Her breath catches again. She looks over—
FATHER stands at the foot of the bed, eyes glistening, barely holding it together.
Inara Shekhawat (FL)
No… it couldn’t be…
He steps forward. She reaches for him. He embraces her. Warmth floods her broken body.
Mohan Shekhawat(FL father)
(whispers)
My little girl…
MOTHER wraps them both in her arms, holding them tightly.
Inara Shekhawat (FL)
I Was supposed to be gone.
But here they were.
And something inside me… broke open.
Her body relaxes. Her eyelids flutter shut. One last breath before slipping into darkness again.
