The afternoon sun cast a warm glow through the window of Dr. Saarayu Patel's office, illuminating the concerned frown etched on Revanth's young face. A college student with a mop of unruly brown hair and eyes that held a dullness that belied his age, Revanth had hesitantly sought counseling after weeks of feeling lost and unmotivated.

"So," Dr. Saarayu began, her voice gentle yet firm, "you mentioned feeling down lately. Can you tell me a bit more about what's been going on?"

Revanth shifted in his chair, picking at the edge of his worn notebook. "It's just… everything feels pointless, Dr. Patel. Like I'm going through the motions, but there's no spark anymore. College feels overwhelming, my social life is nonexistent, and even things I used to enjoy don't seem to bring any joy."

Saarayu listened patiently, nodding in understanding. This was a familiar territory for her, both as a doctor and as someone who had witnessed similar struggles in her friend, Reyansh.

    Heera kept glancing at her watch and then out at the road, her impatience growing with every passing minute. "How much longer to the railway station?" she demanded in an irritated tone. "If I miss the Tirupati train, you'll have to get me there in this auto.""Madam, why don't you book a cab?" the auto-driver suggested.She forced a tight smile. "I didn't ask for advice. Just focus on driving."After what seemed like an eternity, but was only 15 minutes, Heera jumped out of the auto, paid the driver, and dashed into the railway station. Her heart sank as she saw the train slowly pulling away from the platform. In her haste, she stumbled over someone's luggage and fell to the ground."No! Oh, God, no!" she cried out, watching helplessly as the train picked up speed and disappeared from sight.Meanwhile, the owner of the fallen luggage approached, exclaiming, "Oh no!" as he spotted his suitcase on the ground.He stretched out his hand to retrieve his luggage, but Heera, still dazed from

    Both boarded the train and settled into seats opposite each other by the windows, each determined to ignore the other. Revanth sipped his juice and gazed out at the passing scenery, trying to relax.His phone rang, and he answered it with a sigh. "Hi, dude... You won't believe my luck. I planned to enjoy a trip with my family, but guess what? I'm stuck traveling with a dinosaur."Heera shot him a furious look, her eyes practically blazing.Just then, the ticket collector (T.C.) arrived. "Tickets, please," he requested.Heera handed over her ticket without a word. The T.C. then turned to Revanth."Sir, I showed you both our tickets, right?" Revanth said with a smirk.The T.C. looked confused. "I need to see both tickets separately, sir."Revanth sighed dramatically and pulled out his ticket, handing it to the T.C.As the T.C. moved on, Heera couldn't resist a jab. "Looks like even the T.C. knows better than to trust your word."Revanth rolled his eyes. "Oh, please. He was just doing hi

    Revanth suddenly remembered something and jumped down, snatching his bag. Heera looked at him, bewildered. "What's wrong with you?""Ahh! My leg!" he exclaimed, acting as if he was in pain."Are you okay?" she asked, concerned."Yes! I mean, no!" he replied, wincing.She helped him sit down, checking his foot to see if it was hurt. She applied some balm, her touch gentle and caring.Revanth suppressed a laugh, recalling the gift he had brought for her. His antics were part of his plan."Are you okay now?" she asked, looking up at him with worry.He nodded, trying to maintain his act. "Yes, thanks to you.""Be careful next time," she said, her tone softening.Heera went back to her seat, and Revanth rummaged through his bag. He pulled out a small, neatly wrapped package. Approaching her, he extended the gift towards her."What’s this?" she asked, surprised."A peace offering," he said with a genuine smile. "I brought it for you."She took the gift, unwrapping it carefully. Inside was

To his surprise, he noticed her silhouette in the distance, hugging her knees and weeping quietly.His heart ached at the sight of her tears. "What happened to her?" he wondered, his gaze fixed on her form. "My love for you spans over the lines of my past, present, and future. You are what I love remembering, what I love experiencing, and what I love looking forward to."Without a second thought, he jumped onto her terrace and approached her slowly. "Heera," he called softly.Startled, she wiped her tears and stood up, facing him. "What are you doing here?" she asked, her voice trembling with emotion.Ignoring her question, he gently urged, "Leave it. Tell me, why are you crying?""I don't want to talk to you," she replied, turning away."Heera, I'm talking to you," he insisted, reaching out to touch her arm.She pulled away, her eye

    As the days stretched into weeks and the weeks into months, Revanth found himself consumed by a suffocating darkness. The relentless search for Heera had taken its toll on him, both physically and emotionally. With each passing day that brought no news of her whereabouts, a sense of despair settled over him like a heavy blanket, weighing down his spirit.He struggled to maintain a façade of strength, but inside, he was crumbling. The constant uncertainty, the unanswered questions, and the gnawing guilt of not being able to protect Heera ate away at him from the inside out.Sleep became a stranger to him, replaced by restless nights haunted by visions of Heera's face, her voice echoing in his ears like a haunting melody.

    Revanth sat in the waiting room of the psychologist's office, his nerves frayed and his mind swirling with a whirlwind of emotions. He had reluctantly agreed to seek counseling at his mother's urging, hoping that it might provide some semblance of relief from the weight of his grief.As he waited, he couldn't shake off the sense of unease that gnawed at him. Opening up about his feelings to a stranger felt daunting, and he wasn't sure if he was ready to confront the depths of his pain.But then, he remembered his mother's words. She had mentioned a psychologist named Dr. Saarayu, someone she knew well and trusted implicitly.
