It was late at night .
A cool wind was blowing outside arjun 's house . The garden tree move slowly,and the fountain made a soft water sound.
Priya stood near her room window . She looked outside, but her mind was somewhere else. she kept thinking about that boy . Didi .... His voice still rang in her ears .
She held her head and whispered, how can this happen ....? She doesn't not remember much from her childhood . She only knew her mother died when she was ten. After that ,she lived with the far - off relative in city .
She never asked about her father and brother.
Priya took a deep breath.
Maybe it was someone else, she told herself. But deep inside, she felt restless.
Then there was a soft knock on the door.
Knock… knock…
Priya turned.....Come in.
It was Arjun calm and serious as always. He walked in and looked at her.
You're still awake?
Priya asked straight:
Who was that boy?
Arjun was quiet for a few seconds. He went to the window and said, Sometimes the past brings things we already forgot.
Priya frowned. Why don't you just answer?
Arjun turned. Because truth comes at the right time.
Priya said, He called me didi. He had my photo.
Arjun looked at her. Do you remember everything from your childhood?
Priya was silent. She didn't. No… but that doesn't mean
Arjun stopped her. If that boy comes again, don't talk to him.
Why?
Maybe he came to hurt you. Priya said, He looked normal.
Arjun gave a small smile. Ordinary people are the most dangerous.
After a pause, he added, Training gets harder from tomorrow.
I'm ready, Priya said. Arjun's eyes lit up a little. You don't just have to be strong. You have to be invincible. He left. Priya sat on her bed, heart beating fast.
Then she looked out the window.
By the fountain, the same boy stood there. He held the old photo. Slowly, he looked up at her window.
Priya walked closer. The boy raised his hand and whispered,
Didi… I need to talk to you.
Her heart pounded . She about open the window When a cold voice came from behind :
If you open it ... Everything will change .
Priya turned fast . Arjun was there again , eyes locked on her , i warned you .
Outside, the boy still stood fear and hope in his eyes. Didi… please… I need your help…. Priya's fingers gripped the handle. Her mind split in two: Arjun's warning on one side, that voice Didi. on the other.
Arjun said softly, Your choice now. If you want to stay in my world trust me.
Priya closed her eyes. It felt like her life split into two roads. One way Arjun's world.
The other the boy's truth.
And maybe picking one would decide her fate.
