Mandir ke andar sab kuch hil raha tha…
Naagmani ki roshni itni tez ho gayi thi ki aankhen kholna mushkil ho raha tha.
Aarohi zameen par gir chuki thi…
Uska body uncontrollably shake kar raha tha…
Aankhein poori tarah green glow me.
"AAAHHH!" uski cheekh mandir me goonj uthi.
Arjun uske paas bhaaga—
"Aarohi! Control karo!"
Lekin…
Aarohi sun nahi rahi thi.
Uska roop badalne laga—
Half Naagin… phir full serpent… phir wapas human…
Jaise uska body decide hi nahi kar paa raha ho.
"Naagmani usse accept nahi kar rahi…" Niyara ne serious tone me kaha.
Mahir door khada sab dekh raha tha…
Aur muskura raha tha.
"Ya phir…" usne dheere se kaha,
"Naagmani usse poori tarah absorb kar rahi hai."
Arjun ne gusse me uski taraf dekha—
"SHUT UP!"
⚡ POWER OUT OF CONTROL
Aarohi achanak hawa me uth gayi.
Jaise koi invisible force usse utha raha ho.
Uske aas paas green energy ghoom rahi thi…
"Ye control se bahar ja rahi hai…" Niyara ne kaha.
"Main kya karu??" Arjun panic me.
Niyara ne uski taraf dekha—
"Usse yaad dilao… wo kaun hai."
Arjun confused—
"Matlab?"
"Uska insaan wala hissa…" Niyara boli,
"agar wo kho gaya… toh sirf ek destructive Naagin bachegi."
Arjun turant Aarohi ke paas gaya—
"Aarohi! Suno meri baat!" wo chillaaya.
Lekin…
Aarohi ki aankhein ab usse pehchaan nahi rahi thi.
"Main hoon… Arjun…" usne dheere se kaha.
Flash—
Mandir… pyaar… Shiv…
Ek second ke liye…
Aarohi ruk gayi.
"Shiv…" usne halki si awaaz me kaha.
Arjun ke chehre par hope—
"Haan! Main hoon!"
Lekin…
Mahir clap karta hai.
"Kitna emotional moment hai…" wo sarcastically bola.
Aur next second—
Usne apni power use ki.
Dark energy seedha Aarohi ki taraf.
"NO!" Arjun chillaaya.
Energy hit.
Aarohi ka control completely toot gaya.
"AAAHHHH!" uski cheekh aur loud.
Ab wo full destructive mode me thi.
⚔️ WAR START
Aarohi ne bina soche attack kiya—
Na Arjun par…
Na Mahir par…
Sab par.
Mandir ke pillars tootne lage…
Zameen crack…
Energy blast everywhere.
"Wo sabko destroy kar degi!" Arjun bola.
Niyara aage badhi—
"Ab sirf ek tareeka hai…"
"Kaunsa??"
Niyara ne seedha jawab diya—
"Usse rokna hoga."
"Kaise??" Arjun desperate.
"Ya toh usse control karo…"
"Ya…"
"Usse khatam karo."
Silence.
Arjun ka dil ruk gaya.
"Main usse hurt nahi karunga…" usne firmly kaha.
Niyara ne uski aankhon me dekha—
"Toh phir usse bachane ke liye tumhe khud ko risk me daalna hoga."
💔 SACRIFICE MOVE
Arjun dheere dheere Aarohi ki taraf badha.
Energy blasts uske aas paas gir rahe the…
Lekin wo rukka nahi.
"Aarohi…" usne softly kaha.
Aarohi ne uski taraf dekha…
Aankhon me sirf rage.
"Ruko…" Arjun ne haath aage badhaya.
"Tum mujhe pehchanti ho…"
Aarohi ka attack uski taraf aaya—
BOOM!
Arjun side hua… lekin hurt ho gaya.
"Aarohi!" wo phir chillaaya.
"Main tumhe chhod ke nahi jaunga…"
Ek second ke liye…
Aarohi ki aankhon me flicker.
"Ar…jun…" usne dheere se kaha.
Niyara ne peeche se kaha—
"Keep going!"
Arjun aur paas aaya…
"Aarohi… ya Shivanya… jo bhi ho…"
"Tum monster nahi ho."
Silence.
Energy dheere dheere kam hone lagi.
Aarohi ka body shake kar raha tha…
"Main… control nahi kar paa rahi…" usne ro kar kaha.
Arjun ne uska haath pakad liya—
"Main hoon na…"
Aur us moment me…
Energy collapse hone lagi.
Aarohi zameen par gir gayi.
Normal.
⚡ FINAL TWIST
Sab kuch calm ho gaya.
Arjun uske paas baitha—
"Aarohi…?"
Aarohi ne dheere se aankhen kholi…
"Tum theek ho…" Arjun ne relief liya.
Lekin…
Aarohi ki aankhon me ab bhi halka green glow tha.
Niyara ne dheere se kaha—
"Naagmani ab uske andar hai…"
Shock.
"Matlab?" Arjun ne pucha.
"Ab wo sirf Naagin nahi…"
"Wo Naagmani ki carrier hai."
Mahir dheere se hansa—
"Perfect…"
"Ab mujhe sirf tumhe chahiye."
Aarohi dheere se uthti hai…
Uski aankhon me ab ek naya confidence.
"Is baar…" usne Mahir ko dekha—
"Game main khatam karungi."
⚡ Lightning.
Aur kahani ab ek final war ki taraf badh rahi hai.
