The morning sun rises quietly outside the large windows. Inside, silence ruled.
She sat up slowly, her head pounding, body still sore. The room was unfamiliar—grand, but empty of comfort.
The door opened. A man in a formal black suit entered. It was Akhil Rajvanshi’s assistant, Dev.
He greeted her politely. “Good morning, ma’am. How are you feeling now?”
She blinked, unsure how to respond. Dev tried again, “Can you tell me your name?”
She stayed silent.
Just then, a deeper voice filled the room. “What is your name, lady?”
She looked up—and froze.
Akhil Rajvanshi stood near the doorway, arms crossed, eyes locked on her. He looked just as she remembered—but colder.
She stared at his face. Her lips trembled, but no sound came out.
Akhil asked again, “Do you want to connect with someone? Your family? Friends?”
She softly nodded. “Yes… if possible, I’d like to call my family. Just to tell them I’m okay.”
Before Akhil could speak, Dev handed her a phone.
Akhil turned away and muttered, “If she wants to leave, let her. Give her what she needs and return to your office.”
Time passed.
Later, Dev returned to Akhil’s office.
“She left,” he said quietly. “With the driver.”
Akhil didn’t respond.
Dev hesitated, then asked, “Should I collect her full information?”
Akhil looked at him, tired. “Do whatever you want.”
But Dev didn’t move. “Sir… you’re married. Don’t you feel something when she looks at you?”
Akhil’s voice was cold. “I don’t consider her my wife.”
Dev’s voice lowered. “Her name… her name is Aarohi Akhil Rajvanshi. She’s the woman you left four years ago. And you didn’t even recognize her face.”
Akhil froze.

Aarohi sat in the jet, regal and composed.
“Lakshya,” she said to her assistant. “Did you deliver the message?”
“Yes, ma’am. They believe you're just… busy.”
Aarohi looked out the window. Her voice was a whisper,
“Let it stay that way… for now.”
