1 Old Life
In the pitch-black night, Aadi finds himself taking his last breath. His eyes gradually close, and the dark veil of the night absorbs him. As the night's black darkness engulfs him, his eyes slowly shut.
Amidst this nocturnal obscurity, gazing at the stars in the sky, he begins to ponder where all of this ultimately originated.

Like every day, after finishing his work, Aadi is relaxing at home, thinking that he has completed all his tasks and now has no pending work. Consequently, he sits at home watching TV, but even that becomes boring despite the numerous shows.
🎶 In the starry night, 🎶
🎶 hearts entwine, 🎶
🎶 a melody of love, 🎶
🎶 like sparkling wine. 🎶
Suddenly, his mobile vibrates, and a call comes through. Upon hearing the call, Aadi gets up from the sofa, walks to his mobile charging on the table, unplugs it, and sees that it's a call from his girlfriend, Riya.
Aadi receives Riya's call, but before that, Aadi's girlfriend directly tells him, "Aadi, I want to meet you, so be at Sahara Star Hotel at 6 PM tonight."
After this, she cuts the call without hearing anything from Aadi. Aadi, standing there, is surprised as Riya disconnected his call without directly talking to him.
Standing there, Aadi contemplates whether to call Riya back and inquire about the immediate hang-up. However, he thinks that since they are planning to meet in the evening, he can directly ask Riya then.
Checking the time on his mobile, Aadi realizes it's only 2:00 PM, and he still has time for his work. Aadi is a YouTuber who explains manga on his channel, earning a decent income. However, in a big city like Mumbai, living expenses cannot be solely covered by YouTube earnings. Despite coming to Mumbai to complete his engineering degree, his ultimate dream is to work at ISRO after completing engineering.

[6:00pm]
Aadi stands in front of the gate of the Sahara Star Hotel, contemplating how Riya could afford to book such an expensive hotel, knowing that Riya is currently financially weak.
Aadi and Riya have been childhood companions, dating each other since their 10th grade. However, these days, Riya doesn't answer his calls or reply to any messages. Suddenly, Riya has called him today to meet here.
Aadi feels a sense of impending unease in his heart today. Looking at the stars in the sky, he finds some solace. Aadi has always felt a special connection with these stars since childhood, and seeing them makes him believe that as long as they are there, nothing bad will happen to him.
After calming himself, he notices luxury cars coming to and leaving from the hotel. Ignoring them, he proceeds inside the hotel.
Upon stepping into the hotel, Aadi is enveloped in a regal atmosphere, the air laden with opulence. Luxurious chairs, adorned with intricate details, grace the surroundings, complementing the exquisite design that captivates his attention. The grandeur extends to every corner, leaving Aadi astonished by the sheer magnificence that defines the ambiance of the hotel. The careful curation of lavish elements enhances the overall aesthetic, creating an immersive experience that evokes a sense of awe and admiration.
Standing there, Aadi takes in all the sights around him, but suddenly, he realizes why he has come here and begins to make his way towards his table.
Upon reaching his table, Aadi is quick to notice Riya's presence. He strides over to her with a mix of excitement and curiosity, eager to unravel the mystery behind her unexpected invitation.
Riya had noticed Aadi as well, but she remains composed, patiently awaiting his arrival. Her gaze lingers on him, anticipation written in her eyes, as she anticipates the unfolding interaction between them.
Once Aadi reaches the table, he is astonished as he lays eyes on Riya. She is draped in a sari of vibrant blue hues, her hair elegantly tied behind in a loose bun. Riya looks exceptionally beautiful, capturing Aadi's attention as he stands there, mesmerized by her presence.
Riya, sensing that someone has been staring at her for a while, lifts her head to find Aadi standing there, seemingly lost in looking at her.
"'''heeeee ''""
Am I looking beautiful?
Riya's question hangs in the air as she flashes a beautiful smile, acknowledging Aadi's attention. Aadi, suddenly aware of his actions, is brought back to his senses by her voice. Realizing he has been gazing at Riya for quite some time, he feels a bit embarrassed. Silently, he walks over and takes a seat at the table.
With a playful smile, she teasingly repeats the question, "Do I look beautiful?"
Caught off guard, Aadi chuckles, realizing Riya's awareness of his admiration.
"Yes,"
Aadi replies with sincerity, appreciating the elegance she brings to the already enchanting ambiance of the hotel.
