As flames engulf the shadows, love's embers glow brighter, illuminating the path to eternity.

Dwaparyug-

Amidst the ruins of a burning palace, flames engulfed the once-majestic halls, now crumbled and smoldering.

Flames engulfing its grandeur, as two injured souls lay amidst the ashes and rubble.

The air reeked of smoke, sweat, and blood. The sky above, a deep, foreboding crimson, seemed to weep tears of fire.

Amidst this apocalyptic backdrop, two figures clung to each other, their bodies battered and bruised.

An injured lady and a man, gazed up at each other with love while their eyes swirled with pain, regret, and devotion.

"If not in this timeline, then maybe in another timeline.
If not in this realm, then maybe in another realm...
But if not you, then no one else.
Because without you, there is no me, Jaana/Chandni."

They whispered, their voices trembling.

They, winced in pain, but their eyes never left each other's faces. The lady continued, her voice cracking with sorrow.

"I-I'm sorry, my love, b-because of me, because of my-"

His weak hand reached up, his fingers brushing against her lips, silencing her.

"T-this is not your fault, my Chandni. M-maybe this was destined to happen."

He stammered, his words laced with conviction and a deep, abiding love.

The lady's eyes welled up with tears as she nodded, her heart heavy with grief.

As they spoke, the flames around them seemed to dance in rhythm with their heartbeats, casting flickering shadows on the ruined walls.

The palace, once a symbol of power and grandeur, now stood as a testament to the transience of life and the enduring power of love.

He continued, "Humara kahani bhale hi iss janam mein adhuri kyu na reh gyi ho, agle janam mein hum isse pura karenge, ye mera waada hai tumse, Chandni."

(Translation: Our love even if it remained incomplete in this birth, Chandni, we will complete it in the next birth, this is my promise to you, Chandni.)

"Me bhi waada karti hu jaana, agle janam mein hum, humare is pyaar ko pura karke rahenge."

(Translation: I also promise, Jaana, that in our next life we will fulfill our love.)

The only word that left their lips was the name they called each other, a whispered promise that echoed through eternity.

Their love was a flame that burned bright, a beacon of hope in the darkness. And as they lay there, surrounded by the ruins of their world, they knew that their love would endure, even in the face of death.

Just as the burning ceiling of the palace collapsed, their eyes met, their love frozen in time.

(Scene changes)

A lady and a man woke up from their sleep at the same time, yet apart from each other, panting. Their faces are unclear, while they both yelled upon waking:

"Jaana!!"

"Chandni!!"

They both checked the time and it was showing 5:30 Am, and the date could be seen as

"Sunday, October 26, 2064."

In the tapestry of time, every thread of love is intertwined, weaving a destiny that transcends mortal bounds.

{Time freezes, the scene blurs a little and a voice states-

Arambh Hogya Unke Pyaar ka ek naya panna
Ek naya kissa, ek naye yuga mein.
Kya khul jayenge ateet ke saare raaz jab sacha pyaar fir milega? }

Year 2064, Kaliyuga
(Twenty-six centuries later)

Kaliyuga, also known as the era of demon Kali.
When the zenith of darkness surrounded the era of Kali; the world teetered on the brink of collapse.

Corruption had seeped into every pore, and decay ravaged the fabric of society.

The government, once a beacon of hope, now danced to the tunes of greed and power, where justice and lives were bought and sold.

In this blink landscape, India. Emerged in a secret organization, and one of the top ranked agents, agent Shivika.

Orphaned at a tender age of 9, according to people, a skilled operative with a troubled past. She only has one person whom she can call her family.

Residing in the heart of the country, the capital, Delhi with the only person she has as her family. Which is also, the base of corruption being the capital city.

Delhi, which was previously known as Indraprastha in the times of Mahabharata, the kingdom of Pandava.

Meanwhile, in this yuga though surrounded by darkness, one of a prominent figure in this era is Agastya a renowned archeologist of India, currently on a mission of finding and researching on the historical ruins of ancient India with his bestfriend.

Agastya's best friend, also one of the leading and prominent figures in the world of archeology, with her intelligence and sharp-mind she has made note-worthy achievements in the archeological world so far and now has collaborated with her childhood best-friend Agastya for this research.

She is also, one of the main pillars in their recent mission,
Mission secrets of Jaya-Samhita.

Jaya-Samhita also widely known as the epic 'Mahabharata' written by Ved-Vyasa.

The current aim of archeology and these two archeologists is to discover and unveil the unknown facts and secrets of the Mahabharata omitted from the epic.

(Scene Changes)

Place: The gardens of a mystical chamber
Time: The middle of a no-moon night

Tears fell like autumn rain from the eyes of a person, sitting on a swing in the garden of his chamber.

The soft creaking of the swing and the sweet fragrance of blooming flowers filled the air, contrasting with the sorrow that gripped his heart.

His dark skin glistened with a divine glow, and his angelic features seemed to ache with sorrow.

The holder of the peacock feather, usually adorned with a mischievous smile, now couldn't control his tears.

As he sat amidst the shadows, the sound of distant chanting and the soft rustling of leaves seemed to echo the beating of his heart.

He felt the pain of the star-crossed lovers who had taken their last breath under the burning palace of conspiracies.

Their pure love was so divine that even the divine mourned their loss. With a sad voice that carried a sense of confidence, he stated:

"Bhale kardi ho qurbani jaan ki,
na kari unhone qurbani pyaar ki.
Aarambh hoga unke prem ka ek naya adhyay...
Ek naya kissa, ek naye yuga mein.
Khulenge ateet ke saare raaz jab sacha pyaar milan ka jashan manayega,
Kaliyuga ke kale andhere main."

(Translation: They might have sacrificed their life,
But they did not sacrifice their love.
The new chapter of their love will begin...
A new story, in a new era.
The secrets of the past will be revealed when true love will celebrate the reunion,
In the darkest phase of Kaliyuga.)

To be Continued...
