Chapter 1
Morning arrived dressed in silence.
The sun stretched its golden fingers across the sky, promising warmth and hope. Birds painted melodies through the air, and the world awakened with gentle smiles.
But not every soul welcomed the dawn.
In a room where the curtains never truly opened, Dev sat alone on an old couch. A half-empty glass of alcohol rested in his hand. His eyes stared into nothingness, as though searching for someone who had long disappeared.
The silence around him was heavier than words.
He had mastered the art of hiding pain. No tears escaped his eyes, no cries left his lips. Yet every heartbeat whispered the same forgotten name.
Life had stolen more than his happiness.
Two years earlier, a cruel accident had shattered everything he called home. Since that day, the laughter of his family had become nothing more than echoes trapped inside his memories.
To the world, he appeared cold.
To himself, he was already broken.
He was DEV AGNIHOTRI
He closed his eyes
Someone called his name.
"Dev..."
He turned.
Time stopped.
Before him stood Anvika.
Her eyes held warmth like the first rain after a long summer.
Without a word, she stepped forward and wrapped him in a gentle embrace.
She was about to leave
"Don't leave..." Dev whispered desperately, reaching for him.
Anvika's smile trembled like moonlight on water.
"I'm always with you..."
His voice echoed farther away.
"...even if only in your dreams."
The light shattered.
Dev's eyes flew open.
The room was cold.
The couch was empty.
The glass of alcohol still rested in his hand.
Only silence remained.
And for the thousandth time...
He realized he had been dreaming of Anvika again.
He went from there and freshen up
At dining table...
Dev's mom arranging everything on table his father and brother were already present he greeted everyone and sat
Dev's mom served food to everyone and sat on the chair
Dev mom:

And the breakfast continued
