After that night at the museum, everything had changed between Ishani and Aarav. They were no longer just classmates, but two souls who had met after traveling centuries. But where there is deep love, fate often imposes one final test.
When Ishani arrived at college the next morning, she noticed that Aarav's face lacked its former glow. He was sitting quietly in a corner, writing something in his old diary.
"Aarav, what happened? Why do you look so worried?" Ishani asked, sitting next to him.
Aarav closed his diary. "Ishani, I had the same dream again last night. But this time the ending was different. There was a third shadow in that dream, the one that separated us in our previous life. I fear that shadow is still around us."
Just then, a poster for a new scholarship program appeared on the college notice board. Students selected under this program were to go to another country for studies. Aarav's name was at the top of the list.
"This is great news, Aarav!" Ishani said with a smile, but her heart sank. She felt history repeat itself—the time for farewell was approaching once again.
Aarav held her hand. "Last time, I made the mistake of leaving you because my duty called me. But this time, I won't leave you alone. Either we'll go together, or I won't go anywhere."
Just then, Rohan, the son of the college trustee, entered. Aarav's hands trembled at the sight of Rohan. Ishani remembered that in the painting in the museum, the enemy who killed the soldier looked exactly like Rohan.
Is Rohan the third shadow that will come between their love again? Or will Ishani and Aarav, together, change their fate this time?
