A 4-year old vulnerable child was manipulated everyday for the next 25 years of his life.. He was reminded that he was not loved, ignored and left behind.. He put up so many walls around his heart that only thing the world saw was anger, misogyny and aloofness..


But then walked an angel into his life who could see the pain in his eyes that was invisible to the rest.. She was like the 1st rain that washes away the remnants of the previous season.. She washed away everything that had been fed to him for 25 long years and the only thing left was SHAURYA ASTHA KASHYAP!!

Yeh fark hai sach aur jhoot ka. Astha ke sach aur Devi ka jhoot.. Yeh question hai vaastvikta (reality) aur bhram (delusion) ka. Shaurya Astha ka sach aur reality hai jisse Devi apne jhoote aur bhram se chupana chahti hai..

He helped his student to get justice against ragging the same way Astha helped her student when she was being forcibly married..
He believed in his student's capabilities and stood for her even when the rest of the powerful board members wanted to rusticate her.. Astha stood for her student against her family, SIAC members..

Astha took a stand for her parents years ago against her own family..

Shaurya is taking a stand for the person he loves against his own!!

His family was accusing him and questioning his choice.. He listened to them because of his values.. Even though they were hell bent on destroying his heaven, he didn't abandon them..

They accused him of playing with the lives of two women even though they knew it wasn't his mistake.. He was blackmailed and cornered..

It wasn't long before he fought back and showed them the mirror.. His father's inability and his badimaa's betrayal wasn't going to shape up his future..

His mother didn't let them decide her hers, he won't let them decide his!!


His decision had hurt a woman.. Even though it wasn't his mistake and he didn't betray her, he felt sorry for something that happened to her.. He wasn't the Shaurya Sabherwal who didn't care about what others thought or if he somehow hurt someone.. He cared, his conscience made him say sorry..


He knew he was being played.. His own family whom he trusted and supported everytime was trying to take away his happiness..

He still hoped against hope, looked towards the woman he treated as a mother for years to understand him, stand by him, stand up for him..

His eyes held warning, the same in Astha's eyes when she wasn't allowed to meet her injured son.. They both strike back hard when they are cornered..

The marriage is his sacred place.. He will fight for it and them till death..

He is Astha's copy and Devi is scared she couldn't change it over 25 years..

They were far but still affected each other..

The tears have turned into smiles.. 🥰



The accusations into thank yous.. 🥰



How long before he bridges this gap?

PS- Thank you Arpi for the idea.. 🥰
