Hello Everyone This is my first chat story I hope you’ll all love this story of love, loss, and rediscovery....

Navya was used to late nights, but tonight felt heavier than usual. At 23, she was doing her MSc in Chemistry......and every day seemed to demand more than she could give......

She was the only daughter in her family....with a younger brother who was busy with his own life preparing for 12th boards and parents who supported her in everything... but she didn’t want their approval alone. She wanted to prove to herself that she could do it all. Ever since her school days, she had been at the top of her class 95 percentage in both her 10th and 12th boards, straight A’s in her BSc, and now excelling in her MSc. But grades weren’t enough. Navya wanted more than academic success. she wanted to carve out a career that mattered. And now, with the competitive exams for IIT looming, the syllabus felt endless, the hours too short, and her energy stretched thin. Yet even exhaustion didn’t stop her. She was determined. Giving up wasn’t an option....at least, not for her.

One night...around 1 Am, Navya was still at her desk, surrounded by huge pile of notes..her eyes burned from hours of doing organic reactions and her mind was getting numb but she couldn’t stop. The competitive exam was only a few months away...and every hour counted

It was late at night when Navya's mother Rutuja woke up to go to the washroom. As she passed by her daughter’s room....she noticed the light still on and Navya solving questions with tired eyes. She gently opened the door and sighed.......

Navya nodded, her focus already drifting back to her notes. After sometime she got exhausted and finally slept.....

At morning when she opened her eyes, something was… different. The mattress beneath her was softer than anything she had ever slept on. She blinked, trying to focus, and realized she was no longer in her own room. This was… a completely new room spacious, with a big dressing table, a sliding wardrobe, and an attached bathroom the room looked aesthetically pleasing And then her eyes landed on a man sleeping beside her........

To be continued.....

(.....)This for action *....*This for translation

Her heart skipped a beat when she noticed a man sleeping beside her..... He was not conventionally handsome, but the careful grooming, the trimmed beard, and the strong fit frame made him… perfect...... .

Navya scrambled out of bed, panic rising, and ran to the mirror. Her reflection stole her breath. Her face looked older, Her body… it was sculpted in a way that reminded her of Greek goddess statues.....And the clothes she wore a cropped T-shirt and shorts that felt very short......made her feel even more exposed

The man sat up, confusion etching his features. ....

She froze. Her mind spun

He blinked, utterly baffled, slightly annoyed. This was not how his morning was supposed to begin.....

To be continued....
