Most certainly đ
Another cliffhanger. đĽ˛đĽ˛
The highlight of the chapter was Ansh and Piya meeting but it is already late? I'm hoping since she isn't married something good will happen, though I'm not sure what will happen to make her break her engagement with her childhood friend. Their banter was adorable, and them bout being able to sense each other, especially the way Piya could understand there was more to him than he let on was â¤ď¸â¤ď¸
She also felt the connection that he knew existed between them. Is she going to get sleepless nights over this stranger, thinking she can't be with the person she's engaged to? Hopefully, haha.
Mohana crying? Please. Cry more. đđż
Amazing chapter again. âĽď¸âĽď¸

Well, if it was too late, the story would end there only, no?
As you can see, their connection goes far beyond the Daivik-Daavansh link. Like Piya promised, she would choose Ansh in every alternate reality.
However, here I can't really incorporate that falling in love phase considering it's not only about time-travelling and this dream world is created by Ansh himself. And with the real world Piya-Naman-Saavi trying to enter into this world, very soon Ansh and Piya will come face to face. But there will be other obstacles. You'll get an idea about that in the next chapter.
Chapter - 08
âItâs so beautiful!â The scenic beauty around her took Saaviâs breath away. She was never a naturalist. The few places she genuinely wanted to discover was for their rich culture and heritage. Who knew watching the sun rising from the edge of a cliff could feel so enchanting? Unlike her elder sister, she would plan for such a trip only in her dream. Dream! The last thing she remembered was they were trying to replicate Anshâs spell to enter into his dream world. Did they succeed? She looked at her wrist immediately and felt relieved seeing the Rudraksha beads. So it did work, Piya had successfully connected their consciousness with their doppelgangersâ bodies. But where was she? And where did Naman go?
âOh, you are awake.â Saavi couldnât believe her ears. Could it be⌠âI wasnât sure if I should wake you up or not but then again it would be a shame if you missed the sunrise.â Dilruba sat beside Saavi and handed her a mug of coffee, âItâs more beautiful than we had expected, isnât it?â âDilruba!â Saavi hugged her tightly, surprising the latter, âYou are here!â âOf course Iâm here, where else would I be?â âYou⌠Never mind.â She looked away and tried to think of something they could talk about without raising any suspicion, âWhere are we Dilruba? How long will it take for us to return home?â âI thought you hurt your ankle and not your head.â Surprised, Saavi looked at her leg to discover the plaster. âIâm kidding. The doctor said the painkillers might cause dizziness for a while.â
Saavi touched her ankle and greeted her teeth in pain. Perfect! This was all she needed - another obstacle to slow her down. âHey be careful, okay? Weâre at Devkund. I have already booked a taxi. But first, weâll have to get down from here. Donât worry, you can lean on me for support.â âDo we have another choice?â âI have, I can leave you here and come back later with more help.â She said with a smirk. âWhat are youâŚâ âCome on Saavi, whatâs gotten into you today? Do you really think I would abandon my best friend this way?â âBest friend!â âGood lord! Now you are really testing my patience.â âIâm sorry Dilruba, Iâm justâŚâ âAnd please stop calling me Dilruba. I know thatâs my official name but I do have a better nickname which is far easier to pronounce.â âSanam,â Saavi mumbled absentmindedly. âSee, thereâs still hope for you. Anyway, you sit here and let me pack our stuff. Then we can start.â
As Dilruba went inside their tent, Saavi heaved a sigh. Piya was right, only Ansh could create a world so idealistic where there was no pain, no loss, no bitter memories. She knew her sister was hurt; anyone in her place would be. But could they really blame Ansh for conjuring their heartsâ desire? Unknowingly her lips curved into a smile. The eternal battle between right and wrong! Even when she was aware of the gravity of their situation, her heart yearned for the family she lost years ago. If it was this difficult for her, she could not even imagine how Piya and Naman would react once they came face to face with their deceased loved ones. âWeâre done. Shall we start now?â âYeah, letâs go home.â
âAll set,â Dilruba closed the carâs door and found Saavi lost in her thoughts. âYou know, you should return Auntieâs call.â âHuh?â âI appreciate you coming all the here to cheer me up, I really do. But how does it make Auntie wrong if she was worried about the bad weather and objected to our trip? Ever since she learned about your little accident, sheâs been worried sick.â A lump formed in Saaviâs throat. When was she ever so lucky to experience that? To her classmates, she was one lucky girl with a super cool Dad who took her along in his expeditions. A single child who didnât have to tolerate her annoying siblingsâ tantrums. Only she knew how hollow it felt every time she saw other kids with their whole family.
There was no doubt that Nishant was strict, and she knew how much her father doted on him. However, the void left by Divyaâs absence could never be filled. She had always been impulsive, yes, but she was also self-reliant. She had to learn to be responsible very early in her life for she knew, she didnât have a mother waiting for her at home, to scold her for her stupidity and then take her into her embrace, forgiving her for her insolence.
âAt least text her. Sheâs already swamped by everything. Donât make it more difficult with this attitude of yours.â âWhy? What happened?â âItâs your sisterâs engagement tomorrow. Should she worry about that or you?â âWhat!â âDonât tell me youâve forgotten the date also.â She shook her head in disappointment. âDilruba listen⌠OkayâŚâ Saavi took a deep breath to calm down herself, âWith whom?â âNaman - your family friend.â âOh God! Bhaiya, please drive the car faster.â Much to the surprise of her friend, Saavi kept insisting the driver to go as fast as he could. âHey, is everything alright?â âYeah, itâs fine.â Panic-stricken, she looked outside of the window. âI just hope weâre not too late. Di, Naman where are you?â
_____________________________________________________________________________________
âNaman itâs 8 am already, wake up dear.â âAmma!â Naman woke up with a jerk. âWhere am I?â He wondered seeing the unfamiliar surroundings. The last thing he remembered was they cast a spell to reach the dreamland Ansh created. But it seemed to him as if he had entered an entirely different world based on his own desire. His room looked vastly different than it was a decade ago. It was more spacious and well-decorated with lots of books on ancient art. It reminded him of the time when he wanted to pursue his passion for painting but had to opt for a generalized degree since they couldnât afford the money to send him to art school.
âNaman,â âIâm awake Amma, come sit here.â He helped her sit on the bed. âIâm glad that at least today I didnât have to slap you to wake you up.â Naman couldnât help but laugh. No matter which world he was in, his mother hitting him on every occasion would be a constant. âWhatâs so funny?â âNothing, itâs just that⌠I never imagined some special occasion could prevent you from slapping me.â âNeither did I,â The old woman touched his face lovingly, âBut then again, it wouldnât look good if I continued to run behind my grown-up son. Besides, itâs Piyaâs job now.â âWhat do you mean?â âDonât tell me now you are having second thoughts about her. Itâs natural to feel nervous. I just hope you donât make any wrong decision in that nervousness, thatâs all.â âWhat!â
Naman sat thunderstruck as if his mind stopped working. He knew things would be different in this world, but this different! Even if Ansh wanted to separate himself from Piya, why would he want them to be together? Itâs true that he reformed later but in the past, he was a nightmare. No sane person, let alone Piyaâs well-wisher would want her to end up with him. Then why would Ansh create such a world? And more importantly, how did he know about such minute details of him? Was Ansh really the creator? Or there was another powerful entity they didnât know of? What if it was a trick to isolate all four of them so that it could finally attack?
âNaman, having feelings for someone and fully committing to that person are two different things. Once you are married, along with their greatest qualities, you get to experience the worst side of your partner and despite all that, you choose to be with them that person because you truly love them with their vices and virtues, not just the idealistic version you created in your mind. But I believe I shouldnât be too wary because you are well aware of that, right?â He remained silent. There was a time when he wanted to be with Piya. What wouldnât he do to get a single sign of reciprocation from her side back then? But now that everything seemed to be in his favor, would he really want to change the course of time?
âNaman?â Guru Maaâs voice snapped Naman out of his thoughts. No, there was no way he would repeat his past mistakes. What he presumed to be love was nothing but obsession. It turned him into a demon who didnât even hesitate to smother his own mother or join hands with Mohana. He couldnât become that vicious person again, he wouldnât. âAre you listening to me?â âYes, Amma.â âAnyway, as I was saying, at times I feel we donât give the younger generation enough credit for they are a lot more practical as well as empathetic than we used to be at that age.â âWow! I canât believe you are actually saying this.â
âItâs a fact dear. How does it matter if an old lady accepts it or not? Besides, too much practicality has its own issues, you youngsters often equate commitment with a burden which is the furthest from the truth.â âNow Iâm really confused. What are you trying to imply?â âJust the fact that be true to yourself. Itâs okay to feel overwhelmed and question your own judgment, specially when you are taking such a life-altering decision. But you know what? The heart doesnât tell lies. Look deep within and youâll get the assurance regarding what is right and who should you be with. And with all fairness, if you feel you are not right for each other, you can call off the wedding at any time.â âI can!â
âYes, because I love you my son! You and Piya both. No matter what happens, you two will always be my children. But donât enter into a wedlock out of compulsion. That wonât be fair to either of you. Itâs your happiness that matters to me, nothing else.â Overwhelmed, he hugged her tightly. âAlright, donât get so sentimental.â She said stroking his back, âGet ready and come downstairs. We still have a lot of arrangements to do.â âYeah, I know. Give me five minutes and Iâll join you.â
As Guru Maa left the room, Naman got up and searched for his phone. His mother was right, he shouldnât make an assumption yet and do something stupid complicating the already delicate situation. He had the Rudraksha beads on his wrist. That meant he could get back to the real world anytime he wanted. If Piyaâs suspicion turned out wrong and they got stuck into different parallel universes, at least he had the option to go back and reverse the spell. But before that, he had to contact both Piya and Saavi and see if they were on the same plane as him. They could figure out the rest later. Taking a deep breath, he dialed Piyaâs number when an unfamiliar voice answered his call, âHello!â
_____________________________________________________________________________________
âWhere has that witch hidden my phone?â Ayush cursed under his breath and peeked inside Piyaâs wardrobe. âLanguage Bhaiya,â Danish got irritated, âWhy do I have to remind you every time that you are the elder brother and you should set a better example through your actions?â âBecause you are a ninety years old grandpa trapped inside a twenty yearâs oldâs body. At times I wonder ifâŚâ âYour poor little brother got swapped at the hospital? Yeah, you have said that a thousand times already. Try something new.â He went near Piyaâs reading table and took out a chocolate bar from her drawer. âHey!â âWhat?â âHow can you accept the enemyâs offering?â âGive me a break! Just accept that you want a bite too.â âNo, Iâm not gonna take anything from that witch again.â âOh yeah? Then why did you copy Diâs assignment yesterday? Didnât that go against your morale?â Danish remarked with a mischievous grin.
âThatâs different,â Ayush feigned seriousness, âTormenting the poor students with such complicated assignments should be deemed as a sin. I showed my protest by not giving in to their demand and copying their petâs assignment.â âDefinitely, if you equate protest with saving your ass.â âLanguage!â âOh, so now youâre bothered?â âDamn it! How come Piya got an obedient sister like Saavi while I got stuck with a pain in the ass like you?â âFor your kind information, neither I nor Saavi was ever interested in picking a side. It was your and Diâs foolish idea that the younger brother would be devoted to you while Di gets to keep the younger sister for herself since you both had had enough with each other.â âSo what? You want to change sides now traitor?â âI wanted to change sides even before you guys came up with this stupid idea.â
âHow dare you?â âDeny as much as you want Bhaiya but we both know itâs you who likes to pick up a fight, not Di. You are acting as if we are on some serious mission while in reality, you are being unnecessarily loud, being fully aware that Di is a light sleeper and sheâll lose it if she sees you making a mess out of her stuff. You my dear elder brother are doing it because you want her to fight with you.â âAnd why would I do that?â âBecause you are miserable that sheâs gonna get engaged tomorrow.â âOh please! Iâm relieved that that witch is finally going away.â Ayush looked away, trying to control his tears. âThen why do you have tears in your eyes?â âSomething went into my eyes.â âYou are super adorable, you know that?â He hugged him from behind.
âGet lost!â âI know you two express your love through pointless bickering but it wouldnât be the end of the world if you spent some time with Di and let her know how much youâre gonna miss her.â âSave your advice for yourself you idiot.â âI donât need that because guess what? Unlike you, Iâm already both of my sistersâ favorite. So good luck with this charade of yours because Iâm pretty sure Di knows what have you done for her. And while you are too stubborn to admit it, sheâs the kind who never shies away from expressing her emotions. So all the best for tomorrow when sheâll practically smother you with her affection.â âYou are a total eyesore, you know that?â âNo surprise there, I am your little brother after all.â âWhy youâŚâ
Unbeknownst to the brothers, Piya woke up the moment they entered her room and silently listened to their conversation. Tears streamed down her cheeks as she gazed upon their faces. Her loving brothers! One who died even before they were old enough to comprehend the meaning of life and another who came to this world with her just so he could shoulder her burden for being a Daivik. The brother she found only to lose forever. So what if they were a part of someone elseâs imagination? They were still a part of her. She could feel their genuine love as for the first time in forever she felt like the void in her heart had finally been filled.
âOh no, sheâs awake.â Following Ayushâs gaze, Danish looked in Piyaâs direction. She was coming their way. âWorld War III at the beginning of the day, perfect!â To their utter surprise, Piya said nothing and hugged them tightly. âWhat just happened!â Danish stood dumbfounded. âJust enjoy it.â Ayush wiped his tears and hugged Piya back. It felt pointless how his whole life he spent arguing with his twin sister while in reality, he loved her the most. The idea of giving her hand to another man nearly choked him as it felt like someone asked for half of his heart. âGet a grip over yourself Ayush, Iâm not dead yet.â âOf course you are not. After all, witches are supposed to be immortal creatures.â âDear lord! Why couldnât you give me two normal siblings?â
âAll praises to Devi Maa,â Divya entered the room, âFinally I got to witness this miracle.â âMaa!â Piya ran into her arms and broke down in tears. How long had it been since she got to touch her mother? Her whole life she awaited her motherâs return while Divya sacrificed herself for the greater good. In her heart, she knew Divya was right. She was proud of her mother and vowed to take her legacy forward. But the little girl in her still craved her motherâs love. To her, it didnât matter if they were in a dream world or in some other universe. All that she wanted was to savor that moment, to take in her motherâs scent, to feel the warmth of her embrace, to spend an eternity in her lap where nothing else mattered.
âWhatâs wrong dear?â Divya asked with concern, âIs everything alright?â âYes,â Piya broke the hug and tried to act normal, âItâs just that... I had a terrible nightmareâ âI guess yesterdayâs incident triggered it.â âWhy? What happened yesterday?â âAnd I thought the other guy had hit his head.â âAyush!â âYou got into an accident and saved a manâs life. You were at the hospital last night and came home only a couple of hours ago.â âDidnât I forbid you two to wake her up?â âI didnât wake her up. I just came searching for my phone.â âAnd you seriously expect me to believe that?â Danish burst out laughing while Ayush shot a death glare at him. âLet it be Maa, itâs okay.â âNow thatâs what you call a miracle.â âDanish!â âIs the man alright?â
âYeah, he should be discharged today.â âWe heard the guy was pretty interesting.â âMore like a crazy stalker.â Danish rolled his eyes. âWhat do you mean?â âWho asks a girl on a date right after she saved his life?â âSomeone with a death wish of course,â Ayush smirked, âOtherwise why would he be persuasive? That too for this witch?â Ayushâs last words made Piyaâs heart skip a bit. Could it be⌠âDo you know what his name is Maa? I would like to visit him.â âHis name is Ansh,â Piya felt as if someone had squeezed the air off of her lungs. âI talked with his Aunt, seemed like a nice lady.â âI gotta go.â Piya started to leave when Divya stopped her, âSlow down Gudiya. Thereâs nothing to be worried about. The doctors said he was absolutely fine. Besides, you just spent the entire night sitting beside him. You can pay him a visit after tomorrowâs ceremony.â
âBut MaaâŚâ âPiya, I know you are worried about him but itâs your engagement tomorrow. Donât you think that should be your first priority now?â âEngagement? With whom?â She almost cried out. âYup, she has definitely hit her head.â âSeriously Di, whatâs gotten into you?â Before she could say anything, her phone started ringing. âTalk about coincidences, itâs your would-be husband.â Danish picked up the call and put it on speaker, âHello!â With bated breath, Piya looked at the screen - it was Naman. âHello, Piya?â âGive me that.â She snatched the phone from Danishâs hand and went to the balcony leaving her brothers amused.
âPiya is that you?â âWhat happens when darkness threatens to devour the light?â âDevi sends Her devotee to end this eternal night.â As the verse was recited from both ends, Naman and Piya smiled in relief. The spell worked; they were now in the same universe as Ansh. It was time they had joined Saavi and moved on to the next part of their planâŚ
This chapter had three parallel stories going on and all equally interesting. Imagining Saavi, Naman, and Piya ending up in the new universe, and finding all the crazy, absurd things becoming real they'd either only dreamt of or had lost must be gut wrenching for all three of them. It's like they're familiar with this world still there are surprises hidden for them all. They have the key - the knowledge of their future - to make a change and bring better outcomes than they saw in their world. I'm most curious how it will affect the main timeline. Will Ansh realize he can't change the past and their destiny or the new world will eventually influence the actual lives, because that's what that matters the most.
Piya and her siblings' bickering was so adorable. Can imagine her astonishment when she saw them before her, something she knew was impossible. And oh my god, she knows about Ansh too. I hope they meet soon. Ansh is with the knowledge that Piya is about to get engaged, but since both her and Naman don't want this engagement to happen they can track down Ansh and then proceed with their plan.
Makes me curious about the story after they've met Ansh. How are they going to convince him to come back to the present/correct timeline. And if it's just to make him realize some things can't change so it's better to leave them as it is. I think if you choose to make the story about him reviving their family members it'll be good and if you choose to make them remain dead with the main characters returning to the present it'll be great as well.
I'm so excited for the next chapters. Please write more soon. âĽď¸
Pia is about to get engaged to Naman. At least they are there to save the situation.
One good thing in this dream world is they are getting to see people they will never see again. Even if temporary, these memories will bring much needed solace later.

Thank you so much dear!
It was really satisfying to write this chapter since I got to explore a different side of the characters - their vulnerability. I feel it's one thing to be aware of something and another to face it. All three of them, specially Piya and Saavi knew they would come face to face with Divya, Ayush, and Danish sooner or later. However, that was in theory. Meeting them in person would gradually make them realize that these people are more than illusions. At their core, they are still the loving mother and brothers Piya and Saavi always craved for. So while they came here to get Ansh back, they'll find themselves entangled between their choices - a real but incomplete family that is awaiting them in the original timeline and this dreamy alternative where everyone they loved is alive.
I wish to explore this side more as the story progresses.
As for Ansh, I think you missed an important detail here. Even though this world is set in the past, it's still a dream world that Ansh had conjured unknowingly. Even if Piya and Naman gets married here, it won't affect the reality. The biggest issue is their minds are stuck here while their bodies lie in the original timeline. So if by accident that connection is severed, they'll die in an instant.
So the problem here is much more severe than the changed history.
If any of them wants to rewrite their story, they have to use the original spell or stab themselves with Kohrayan Talwar to go back in time and alter the crucial details. But even for that, they have to reconnect their minds with their bodies first which is the biggest issue right now.

You got it right!
Even though the Reevavanshis have come here to get Ansh back, their interaction with their deceased loved ones will finally help them overcome their grief even if it's just a little bit.
Chapter - 09
âHow long do you think this is gonna take?â Rishi asked impatiently. âAt least another one and a half hours, if we are lucky.â Karan heaved a sigh. Neha turned towards her brothers for a second and then shifted her gaze back to Ansh. Everyone was worried sick since they received a call from the hospital last night. It was no wonder they would hover over Ansh as soon as he entered the house. Still, for once she wished for the elders to behave out of their characters and leave Ansh be. While they kept discussing his injury and the recovery time, Neha felt more concerned about his emotional state. Clearly, something was off about him but what could it be?
âThatâs enough, Iâm going inside. Ansh needs rest, not a twelve-page-long apology note from Chachu.â âOr you can wait for a bit longer. I have a feeling Bhai himself will ask them to leave him alone but in the most SANSKARI tone.â âCut it out, will you?â Neha lost her cool, âThis is not the time for such foolishness.â âOh please! Donât tell me you didnât feel sadistic pleasure when Bhai broke up with Ruby this morning.â âHow is that relevant here Rishi?â âEver since yesterday, Bhai has been acting all weird. If he could call it off with Ruby all of a sudden, why not make another exception by raising his voice in front of the elders?â âHe did more than that and look whereâs that gotten him.â âI know but donât you thinkâŚâ
While Rishi and Karan continued their banter, Nehaâs eyes remained fixated on Ansh. As usual, her foolish little brother noticed the obvious but failed to grasp the gravity of the situation. Yes, she didnât like Ruby at all. When Ansh first told them about their courtship, she was shell-shocked. However, she always admired Anshâs maturity in handling his relationships. He was considerate of her reservations. Nonetheless, he made it clear that he would never hurt another girl for his familyâs validation. Even though they were just casually dating, Ansh always maintained that boundary and treated Ruby with the utmost care and respect. Unless they realized they werenât compatible with each other and decided to part ways mutually, Ansh would never leave her for another girl let alone some stranger whom he met just yesterday.
It was surprising enough when he first mentioned Piya. However, everything that happened later - him approaching some random girl in a nursery, then attacking Mohana, and finally being rescued by that same girl in the evening, could it all be a coincidence? âLook Bhaiya, Iâve made this card for you.â Visheshâs voice broke her trance. Unknowingly, her lips curved into a smile. No wonder the youngest one was Anshâs favorite. But what caught her attention was the warmth she saw in Anshâs eyes. Until that moment, he laid on his bed like an ice statue; completely oblivious to othersâ presence. But the moment Vishesh hugged him, she noticed his jawline softening.
âSo as usual, itâs Vishesh who saves the day.â Karan said smiling, âSeriously Chachu, you should stop for your own good. Even if Ansh didnât have any hard feelings, he would definitely get irritated with this never-ending apology.â Avinash said something in reply but Ansh kept looking at Karan. His long-lost brother! Separated at birth and reunited in youth, he never got the chance to truly know the person his twin brother was. The Karan he remembered was cold and aloof, yet righteous in his own way. Everything that was handed to him on a silver platter, his brother had to fight the world to get a mere fraction of it.
At times he wondered what if the history was reversed and Mohana chose Karan over him. Would everyone be happier that way? For all he knew Karan would have thrived under Vedashreeâs care. He would grow up to be a kind, considerate, and playful young man like the one standing before him. Wouldnât it be better if Piya met Karan instead of him? How was it fair that her fate got intertwined with someone so weak as him? A gullible, wretched so-called âDaavanshâ who always squandered her efforts and questioned her faith in him whereas Mansi destroyed Karanâs life?
âI am connected to you Ansh... And this is how itâll forever be⌠You are mine and Iâm yours, thereâs no place for a third person between us, not even another DaivikâŚâ
Tears stung his eyes as the bubbling rage inside him made him want to burn down the entire world. Why was he like this? When his heart knew her truth, why did his mind always wander off to every possible direction where Piya would be better off without him? Yes, this was all that he ever wished for - Karan finally getting the love he always deserved and Vedashree having her own child. He would give up his life for this dream to turn into reality, but not Piya. He couldnât bear to be a part of such a dimension where she wasnât by his side, he simply wouldnât. He wouldnât close his eyes without seeing his kidsâ smiling faces one last time.
This had got to be a nightmare, yes, thatâs what it was. It was just a matter of time before Piya would wake him up and then⌠He was gonna look into those beautiful, brown eyes of hers and tell her how much he loved her. He was gonna pull her into an embrace and never let go again, unless of course, Adi and Pari barged in their room, making them come up with some silly excuse. That was how it should and would end, he would make sure of it.
âPiya!â Ansh slowly opened his eyes to that name. He was still lying on his bed. Except for Neha, everyone else had left the room. âHow is this possible? Why am I not waking up?â âBecause you are already wide awake,â Neha sat by his side, âWhatâs wrong Bhai? What is it thatâs bothering you so much?â Ansh could feel his heart skipping a bit. No, this couldnât be⌠âAre you feeling feverish? You are shaking like a leaf. Let me call the doctor.â She left the room in a hurry leaving a distraught Ansh behind. âI no longer can differentiate between whatâs real and whatâs an illusion. At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if I myself turned out to be a figment of someone elseâs imagination. Without you, none of it matters.
