As the silvery moon dipped lower into the distant horizon, its pale light kissed the sleepy landscape one final time. A gentle breeze whispered through the trees, carrying with it the last sighs of the night. Slowly, like a shy artist revealing his masterpiece, the sun began to rise, brushing strokes of gold and amber across the wide, open sky. A new beginning painted itself above the world, a signal that some stories were ending while others had just begun.
The airport buzzed with the groggy anticipation of travelers. Delays were common in this region, especially when flights to major cities like Delhi were limited and tightly scheduled. Prabhas glanced at the board again — Delayed, it read. They had to stay another day. He sighed but turned to look at Sanyukta beside him and smiled. Maybe a little more time here wasn't such a bad thing after all.
Meanwhile, in Delhi, Leela had already arrived safely. She held her small bag tightly and looked over her shoulder at the departing figure of her new friend — Sanyukta. They had laughed together, cried together, and even faced danger together. That bond, so unexpected and genuine, was rare in a world filled with secrets and deceit.
Leela had originally been traveling on a different ticket, but the real Sanyukta had given her ticket to her new friend at the last minute. She never anticipated the trouble it would cause. The TTE had raised an eyebrow when checking tickets but had accepted the explanation with a warning and a fine of only ₹100.
"Next time, board at your scheduled station," the TTE muttered, scribbling in his book. Leela nodded gratefully, clutching the fine receipt. It could have been worse. Outside the railway station, a plump, kind-faced woman stood with a man in his mid-thirties. "Nani aunty!" Sanyukta exclaimed as she emerged from the coach. Nani aunty smiled, opening her arms wide. "You're home, beta."
Arvind, Sanyukta's eldest son, took the bag from her shoulder. "We were worried, you know. But Sanyukta called and said you'd be on this train." Little did they know, the Rajasthan police had already swooped in on the narcotics drug dealer group while they were still in transit. Manoj and Sanket had been captured, their underground network unraveling thread by thread. Rajasthan had given them an escape from danger, but it had not erased the past.
Back in the remote guest house they were forced to stay in, Prabhas walked onto the balcony where Sanyukta stood, lost in thought. The morning sun had set her face aglow, her hair catching the light in a halo of copper. "You okay?" he asked, stepping beside her. Sanyukta nodded. "I just... I can't believe it's over. At least for now."
"Not completely," Prabhas replied, gently brushing a strand of hair from her face. "Manoj and Sanket may be behind bars, sentenced for 14 years... but Vish is still out there." She turned toward him, her eyes searching for him. "Do you think he'll come for us?"
"I don't think so. I know," Prabhas said, voice low and steady. "Vish is the kind of man who plays the long game. Manoj and Sanket had powerful connections. They can still cause damage... even from inside prison." The words hung in the air like a thick fog. But Prabhas shook his head suddenly, his tone softening. "Let's not waste this day in fear." Sanyukta blinked. "What do you mean?"
He took her hand in his. "I mean... we've fought enough battles. Faced enough fire. Today, let's just breathe." She smiled slightly, the curve of her lips more beautiful in the morning light than any sunrise he'd ever witnessed. They strolled through the nearby fields, wildflowers nodding gently in the breeze. A herd of sheep moved lazily across the hill. Children's laughter echoed faintly from the village square. For the first time in days, there was peace. They sat beneath an ancient banyan tree. Prabhas leaned back against the trunk, his arm brushing against hers. "You remember the first time we met?" he asked. Sanyukta chuckled. "You mean the day when I was left with nothing and boarding the train to Delhi?" He laughed. Yes"How could I not? You were wearing a fear of everything lost in your face. A faint smile which doesn't have any hopes and love."They both laughed, and then the laughter faded into silence. Not uncomfortable — but intimate. Sanyukta leaned her head on his shoulder. "You know," she whispered, "I used to think love was a distraction. Something meant for after the mission. After the revenge." Prabhas didn't move. "And now?"
"Now... I think love might be the only reason I made it out alive." He turned to her, his hand gently tilting her chin up so he could look into her eyes. "Sanyukta, I don't know what the future holds. I don't know how long this peace will last. But I do know... I want to fight every battle with you. Beside you. Not alone." She nodded, her eyes welling up. "I want that too."
He kissed her then — slow and deep — as if time itself had paused to give them this moment. A kiss that wasn't just about affection, but a promise of loyalty, of shared scars, and of futures intertwined. Later that evening, their phones buzzed with news. The Rajasthan police confirmed that Vish was untraceable. He had disappeared just before the operation. Not a single footprint, not a digital trail. Gone like a shadow at dawn. "He'll come back," Prabhas muttered, his jaw tightening. Sanyukta stepped beside him. "Let him. We'll be ready."
They left the guest house the next day, catching a flight back to Delhi. Life resumed, as it always does. Leela rejoined her family. Nani aunty held a small prayer in gratitude. Arvind returned to his law firm. But for Prabhas and Sanyukta, the battle wasn't over.
Months passed.
Manoj and Sanket remained imprisoned. Their attempts to influence proceedings from jail met limited success, thanks to Leela's testimony and Arvind's legal maneuvering. But dark whispers still floated around — of guards being bribed, of old contacts resurfacing, of secret messages sent through visitors. Arvind Finally got selected for LLB and he is in first year along with the Graduation degree in Arts. He performed well so the first case as a trainee he witnessed the case of Manoj and Sanket because from college they are sent to understand the cases.
Sanyukta walked into the apartment one evening and found Prabhas at his desk, studying a red file. "You found something?" He looked up, grave. "A small gang in Mumbai. Drug movement patterns similar to Vish's network. And there's more..." He pulled out a photo — grainy, taken from afar. It was Vish. Standing beside a politician. Smiling. "He's alive," Prabhas said. "And he's building something bigger." Sanyukta stared at the photo for a long time. Then she folded it carefully and slid it back into the file. "Then we hunt him down," she said firmly. "Together."
🌩️ "The storm is coming again… but this time, they are ready." 🌩️
He took her hand, and together, they stepped into the night — not as victims, but as warriors. The clouds gathered above, dark and heavy, mirroring the storm they were about to face in real life. The fight ahead isn't just personal — it's a battle against a massive drug abuse network, a web of corruption, deceit, and lost souls. Can these brave hearts expose the truth and bring justice where it's long overdue?
