Gauri us aadmi ko saamne khada dekhkar bilkul freeze ho gayi.
Uski aankhon mein kuch jaana-pehchaana tha.
“Tum… Aryan ke bhai ho?”
Ladka halki si smile karta hai.
“Finally tumhe yaad aaya.”
Gauri ne photo ko aur tightly pakad liya.
“Lekin Aryan ne kabhi tumhare baare mein nahi bataya.”
“Because he wanted you to believe that I was dead.”
Gauri ki aankhein shock se badi ho gayi.
“Dead?”
Usne dheere se kaha—
“Tumhara naam kya hai?”
Woh ek step aage badha.
“Reyansh.”
Gauri ke dimaag mein achanak ek memory flash hui.
Ek chhota sa garden…
Teen bachche…
Aryan…
Gauri…
Aur Reyansh.
Teenon ek saath khel rahe the.
Phir—
Fire.
Gauri ne apna sir pakad liya.
“Stop…”
Reyansh ne turant poocha,
“Tumhe kya yaad aaya?”
Gauri ne trembling voice mein kaha—
“Us raat… tum bhi wahan the.”
Reyansh ki smile gayab ho gayi.
“Exactly.”

Meanwhile — Aryan
Aryan old house ki taraf drive kar raha tha.
Usse sirf ek cheez pata thi—
Gauri danger mein thi.
Lekin uske phone par ek message aaya.
“Come alone if you want her alive.”
Aryan ne gaadi rok di.
Uski aankhon mein anger tha.
“Reyansh…”
Usne naam dheere se kaha.
“Tum zinda ho.”
---
The Old House
Gauri Reyansh ko dekhti rahi.
“Tumne mujhe message kyun kiya?”
Reyansh ne table par ek old diary rakhi.
“Because Aryan has been lying to you.”
Gauri ne diary kholi.
First page par likha tha—
“The night of the fire — Gauri was never supposed to survive.”
Gauri ka haath kaanpne laga.
“Ye kisne likha?”
Reyansh chup raha.
Gauri ne agla page palta.
Us par teen naam the—
Aryan.
Reyansh.
Gauri.
Aur neeche ek line—
“One of them knows the truth.”
Gauri ki heartbeat तेज ho gayi.
“Who?”
Reyansh ne uski aankhon mein dekha.
“Aryan.”
---
Tabhi bahar ek car rukne ki awaaz aayi.
Gauri ne window ki taraf dekha.
Black car ka door khula.
Aryan bahar nikla.
Uski nazar seedha Reyansh par gayi.
Dono bhai kuch seconds tak ek-doosre ko dekhte rahe.
Aryan ne cold voice mein kaha—
“Tumhe wapas nahi aana chahiye tha.”
Reyansh smiled.
“Tumhe bhi Gauri se sach chhupana nahi chahiye tha.”
Gauri dono ko confused hokar dekh rahi thi.
“What truth?”
Aryan ki aankhon mein pain aa gaya.
Woh Gauri ki taraf dekhta hai.
“Gauri…”
“Bas!”
Gauri ki aankhon mein aansu aa gaye.
“Ab mujhe koi jhooth nahi chahiye.”
Aryan kuch kehne hi wala tha ki—
BANG!
Old house ki lights suddenly off ho gayi.
Andhere mein ek unknown voice gunji—
“Ab asli game shuru hoga.”
Gauri ne Aryan ka haath pakad liya.
Aur pehli baar…
Aryan ne uska haath chhodne ke bajaye aur mazbooti se pakad liya.
Because this time, he knew he could lose her forever.
To Be Continued… 🖤
Chapter 13 – BIG Twist: Reyansh Wasn't the Villain
Chapter 13 ka biggest twist ye ho sakta hai:
Lights off hone ke baad Gauri ko ek hidden room milta hai. Room mein old photographs, newspaper clippings aur CCTV footage rakhi hoti hai.
Gauri ek recording play karti hai.
Recording mein chhota Aryan Gauri ko fire se bachane ki koshish kar raha hota hai.
Lekin phir ek aadmi room mein aata hai.
Gauri shock ho jaati hai.
Woh aadmi Aryan ke father hain.
Aur recording mein woh kehte hain:
“Gauri ko yahan se hata do. Agar Aryan ko sach pata chala, toh woh kabhi mera beta nahi rahega.”
Gauri ki aankhon se aansu nikal aate hain.
Tabhi Reyansh kehta hai—
“Maine tumhe bachane ke liye ye sab kiya tha.”
Gauri uski taraf dekhti hai.
“Then why did you disappear?”
Reyansh ki aankhon mein dard aa jaata hai.
“Because Aryan ke father ne mujhe bhi maarne ki koshish ki thi.”
Aur sabse bada twist—
Aryan ko ye sab pehle se pata tha.
Woh Gauri ke saamne aakar kehta hai:
“I knew the truth… but I was trying to protect you.”
Gauri peeche hat jaati hai.
“Protect me?”
Uski aankhon mein betrayal tha.
“Ya mujhe apni obsession mein bandh kar rakhna chahte the?”
Aryan ke paas koi jawab nahi tha.
Chapter 13 Ends. 🖤
Chapter 14 Hook:
Gauri decides to leave Aryan—but before she can leave, she discovers that her own father was involved in the fire too.
