THEN AND THERE AGAIN.

THEN AND THERE AGAIN.
Eleven years ago, on a festive Christmas night, a chance encounter sparked a love story Utkarsh believed was written by fate. But fate, it seems, had a cruel twist. After years of separation and a devastating misunderstanding, a hospital visit for a friend thrusts him back into Samaira's life. Now, amidst the echoes of a past tragedy and the revelation of a shocking truth, Utkarsh must confront the pain of what was lost and fight for a future that seemed impossible. Can love truly conquer all, or are some wounds too deep to heal?

The air bit with a familiar chill, below 10 degrees, the kind that promised a Christmas night.

Dew clung to leaves like tiny, misplaced diamonds, and a smoky blanket draped the urban sky, muffling the stars. Inside the car, heading towards the city, the GPS glowed, counting down the last sixteen kilometers. It was just 8 PM, yet the roads felt deserted, a strange quiet before the storm of festivity.

This wasn't just any night; it was Christmas Eve, a jubilant gathering where the city transformed, adorned with colored lights and glittering trinkets. Pubs pulsed, malls advertised, and concerts buzzed. It was a metropolis caught in a fever of euphoria, defying the biting cold. "Saheb, aisa kya khaas baat hai, jo aap yahan Christmas ko har saal atein hai?" Baburao, my driver, asked, his voice cutting through the festive hum. I smiled, looking out at the familiar streets. "Yeh bekhudi ka dasstoor hai yaar, jo mujhe yahan khinch lati hai." He looked confused. "Chodo Baburao, tum nahi samjhoge," I murmured, losing myself in the city's embrace, and in the memories it held.
