"The Heirs of Ruin and Romance"
Episode 3
I miss you every day, Rockstar.
Yes, I still call you that.
The nickname you hated but let only me use.
I still whisper it into the air sometimes… hoping it’ll reach you.
You’ve become a star now.
Exactly what you always wanted.
Your name shines everywhere — on billboards, in headlines, and in hearts.
And mine?
Still stuck in the same place… only your voice moves me forward.
I listen to every song you’ve written.
And each lyric feels like a letter you left behind for me.
(Flashback: One year ago)
Karan Mehra
"Why do you keep calling me Rockstar?"(curious,)
Rheana Malhotra
"Because no one else does,"(giggling)
Karan Mehra
"You know I hate nicknames(groan)
Rheana Malhotra
"But you love me" (smirking)
He looked at me with that warm gaze, "Too much."
He tucked a strand of my hair behind my ear and said,
Karan Mehra
"If I ever make it big, I’ll write our story in a song. Just for you."(smiling)
You did, didn’t you?
That unreleased track… “Pehli Baarish.”
I know that was our night, our rain, our first kiss under your terrace shade.
(Flashback: Few Days Ago)
Rheana Malhotra
"I can’t do this, Papa! Please… try to understand" (Crying)
Mahendra Malhotra
"You’re marrying Advik Singhania, and that's final" (coldly)
Rheana Malhotra
"I love someone else! Please, Papa, please don’t do this to me,"( voice cracking)
Mahendra Malhotra
"Enough, Rheana! I’ve given you too much freedom already. You disobeyed me when I asked you to forget that boy."(angery)
Mahendra Malhotra
"Rajeshwari, explain to your daughter!"
Rheana Malhotra
"Papa… you stopped me from chasing my dreams… and now you’re forcing a marriage on me too?"
His silence was louder than any denial.
"You didn’t break my wings, Papa…""You ripped them off."
Rheana Malhotra
"Stay happy in your life, my love."Even if it’s without me.(whispers)
Rheana Malhotra
Rockstar.. I hope you’re smiling tonight.
