A Marriage I Don't Remember
Lost In Time
Hello Everyone
This is my first chat story
I hope you’ll all love this story of love, loss, and rediscovery....
Navya 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, 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.
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.
Rutuja Shukla(Navya's Mother)
(Opens door, sighs) Navya how many times have I told you not to study so late at night....Sleep early and wake up early to study properly.....
Navya Shukla
(Looks up, rubbing her eyes)
Yes, Mummy only two more minutes.
Rutuja Shukla(Navya's Mother)
(Tired smile, shaking her head)
Two minutes always become an hour, beta.....Don’t tire yourself out.......
Navya nodded, her focus already drifting back to her notes.
After sometime she got exhausted and finally slept.....
Navya 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 realised she was no longer in her own room. This was… a completely new room.
And then her eyes landed on a man sleeping beside her........
(.....)This for action
*....*This for translation
A Room, A Stranger
Her heart skipped a beat when she noticed a man sleeping beside her..
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
Navya Mishra/Shukla
(Screamed) Oh my God!! what the hell?
Unknown
(Stirring, yawning) Whoa… Navya? What happened? It’s Sunday morning… let me sleep.....
Navya Mishra/Shukla
(voice cracked tears in eyes)Who are you? Where am I? Everything… everything is different....
The man sat up, confusion etching his features. ....
Unknown
Hey easy dear.... Why are you crying?
Navya Mishra/Shukla
Who are you? wh..why am I… like this?....
Darsh Mishra
(Cautiously) I am… your Husband?
Navya Mishra/Shukla
Husband?! I was studying for my exams yesterday!! Where are my parents?
He blinked, utterly baffled, slightly annoyed.
This was not how his morning was supposed to begin.....
