Chapter 4 - The Truth Beneath Her Eyes

Ayaan couldn't move.

Her fingers… still on his face.

Cold.

Not human.

"Meera…"

His voice trembled.

"This isn't you…"

For a moment—

She stayed still.

Silent.

Then suddenly—

Her smile disappeared.

And her eyes—

They changed.

Completely black.

Ayaan's heart stopped.

His body froze.

Fear rushed through him like never before.

"I told you…"

She whispered slowly.

"I waited…"

"But you didn't come that night…"

Ayaan's mind went blank.

"What… what are you talking about?"

The wind screamed around them.

The lights flickered violently.

"You left me…"

Her voice cracked.

Not sad—

Angry.

"In the dark…"

"Alone…"

Ayaan stepped back, shaking.

"No… that's not true…"

"I was there… I came…"

"Too late."

She said softly.

And suddenly—

Everything around him changed.

The road…

The streetlight…

The night—

It all disappeared.

Ayaan found himself standing in a different place.

The same road—

But broken.

Dark.

Covered in blood.

And there—

On the ground—

A girl lay motionless.

Meera.

Ayaan's breath stopped.

"No…"

He ran towards her.

Fell to his knees.

Tried to hold her—

But his hands passed through her body.

Like she wasn't real.

"No… no… this isn't real…"

"THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED."

Her voice echoed loudly behind him.

Ayaan turned slowly.

She was standing there again.

Watching him.

"You weren't there…"

She said coldly.

"I called you…"

"I waited…"

"And then—"

Her voice broke.

For the first time—

It sounded human again.

"I died… alone…"

Ayaan's eyes filled with tears.

"I didn't know… Meera I didn't know…"

But suddenly—

Her face twisted again.

That darkness returned.

"You didn't come…"

She repeated.

"And now—"

She stepped closer.

Slowly.

"You will stay…"

"With me."

Ayaan's heart dropped.

His body froze.

Because now—

He understood the truth.

This wasn't just love anymore.

This was something else.

Something that wouldn't let him go.

👉 Is Meera seeking love… or revenge? What do you think?
