Siddharth opened his eyes to see a blurred image of Adi. He had regained his consciousness. All he remembered was a fierce attack on him. Sharat came by his side and held his palm. "How are you feeling..? Are you alright!?" He realised he was in a hospital.

Siddharth didn't reply. But a minute later, "Anjali...where is Anjali..?" He barely whispered.

Adi took a deep breath. Meanwhile Swathi and Nandini had already surrounded the bed.

"S...Sid... You rest... I'll be back in an hour..." Saying so, Adi signaled something to the others and left, leaving Siddharth confused.

He immediately reached the airport and again began to enquire the people around. No one seemed to have seen Anjali. All they knew was seeing Siddharth being attacked and they all admitted him to the hospital after informing Adi and the others.

A faint fragrance of Jasmine filled her nostrils and finally, after what seemed like an eternity, Anjali lifted her eyelids.

She was surprised to see her aunt caressing her hair. She woke up and gave a questioning look.

Her aunt smiled and brought a glass of hot water. "Just relax.. I'll tell you everything later..."

Anjali sipped the water when she suddenly remembered the previous night's happenings. She dropped the glass and tears began falling from her eyes.

"Siddharth... Where is my husband...!? How is he!!?.." She yelled, holding her aunt's hand.

Her aunt, who happened to be doctor made her relax for a while and after a minute or two, said, "I don't know anything about your husband... I think he has been admitted to the hospital... All I saw was you lying unconscious. I couldn't leave my niece in that way and therefore I brought you home.."

Anjali was desperate to see her husband. She immediately checked for her phone but to her bad luck, all of it was in the airport.

She took her aunt's phone and dialled Adi's number. She knew he could be of some help.

"For the nth time I'm asking... WHERE IS MY ANJALI!!??" Sid yelled. Swathi, Sharat and Nandini were trying hard to control him. He had injuries all over and they couldn't tell him that Anjali was no where to be found.

A minute later, in peeped Adi with a huge grin.

"What are you smiling at!? Where is Anjali!!?" Sid yelled again.

Adi came in jumping like a little kid and dramatically shoved his hands towards the door.

She slowly walked inside. Siddharth was astonished to see her that way. She had her forehead bandaged!

She looked into his eyes and unknowingly, tears made their way.

Siddharth did nothing. He simply let his cheeks drown in tears.

They stayed far..yet so close.

Adi signalled and the rest of them moved out of the room.

Siddharth smiled and opened his arms wide.

She couldn't help running towards him and crashed her body against his.

The moment was left unsaid as only the two experienced the most magical moment ever.

The next morning, Siddharth was having breakfast while Anjali prepared him some juice. Adi and co walked into the ward with the police. After the little enquiry, it was confirmed that Dr. Siddharth was behind this.

After two more days, Siddharth was discharged and the both of them left home to lead their sweet life together.

1 year later,

Anjali slurped the oozing juice from the ripe yellow mango she was having. She happily made herself and the little one growing inside her, comfortable on the couch.

Yes, she was nine months pregnant and the due date was quite near.

She changed the channels uninterested when one of the news caught het eyes.

"Sidhaaaaaaaaaarth!!!" She shouted.

Within no time, her husband was next to her, half clad, because he had run from the bath!

"What happened! You are feeling any pain...??!! Is the baby coming now!!?" He asked in a go, panting.

She nodded negative and pointed at the television.

Archaeologist Dr. Avinash has been successful in his dream project. He and his team had finally excavated and has revealed to history, the hidden golden city.

They have been able to dig out the secretive tools and weapons and have also figured out much of its history through the books in Sanskrit literature.

The discovery first began three years back, with two enthusiasts, Siddharth and Anjali, who had made the preliminary discoveries, like scripts paintings and scrolls. Dr. Avinash is very grateful as without them, he wouldn't have achieved so much, he says in an interview.

Sid and Anjali look at each other and smile.

The modern technology has enabled us to recreate the paintings found and this one among them is the grandest.

Anjali and Siddharth were taken by utmost surprise,

The golden city's name is yet to be disclosed and its story is based on two soulful lovers, it is presumed.

Anjali still had her mouth wide open.

"That painting.... It...It..is US!! How the hell is this possible!!!?"

She gasped.

Siddharth thought for a minute...

"It might be possible... Who knows... Perhaps we are the 'Soulful lovers...'..."

Anjali smacked him on his head and he giggled.

"You'll never know bangaram..." He said, wrapping his arms around her..."We might be SOULMATES since then...."
