That day, Arya listened to Rara carefully, but deep inside, she still couldn't hold herself together.
As soon as she came home, she looked at herself in the mirror — what she used to be and what she had become.
She sat near her Savi God. She told Him everything that had happened to her today. Her eyes were filled with tears. All her sobs were buried deep inside her. Her condition today was even more fragile than before.
She had kept this state hidden from her parents.
Even while sleeping at night, she buried her face in the pillow and cried hard — because if she got separated from her love, she would die while still alive.
Today, when she was weak, the black negative energy had a chance to completely overpower her. And that's exactly what happened.
As soon as Arya fell asleep, she felt someone had pinned her down again. There was so much weight on her body, as if two or three people were sleeping on her together.
Arya was crying out loud in her sleep, but no one outside could hear her voice.
Today Arya felt like she was about to die in her sleep. Her last wish was — that the Savi God she had worshipped with such devotion, would at least appear in her dreams today.
Arya screamed with all her heart and soul —
"O Savi God! If You truly exist in this world and if You've ever listened to me, then please… I'm about to die today… please, show Yourself to me just once!"
And the moment she said this, all the weight on her body suddenly vanished, and she slipped into the world of dreams. She was in a deep sleep.
She saw a glowing light like the flame of a lamp, which didn't say anything. There was just a white mist all around it. Arya wanted to hold that flame — but as soon as she got close to it, her eyes opened.
It was already four in the morning, and Arya was now awake. Her entire body was burning from the inside, as if with high fever.
She was so exhausted as if she had been doing some physical labor nonstop for two days.
With great difficulty, she got up from her bed and the first thing she did was go to her Savi God — to thank Him for saving her life.
She said to her Savi God —
"If You weren't there today, I don't think I would've woken up from sleep. How would I have fulfilled the dreams I've seen for myself and for Shyan?"
Today, even though Arya was physically exhausted, she was happy just by looking at her Savi God.
She now had hope that her dreams would come true.
For the first time, she felt like her devotion and penance were bearing fruit.
She was happy today — and somewhere, the negative aura had once again lost to Arya.
By now, even that negative aura had realized that Arya's love was both her weakness and her strength.
This black negative energy was also the spirit of some boy, who had been bound and released upon Arya's body.
Her positive aura caused him great pain — but even if he wanted, he couldn't stay away from her. He was helpless too.
That negative energy could only separate from Arya after her death.
The black negative energy tried a lot, but he failed again and again.
Now even that negative energy had started to believe —
"Right now, her fate and her time are with her. When that changes... I'll change her entire world."
Arya now went to school happily. Shyan also wanted to get closer to her, but Arya wasn't ready for that yet.
Arya felt that she was only 15 years old, and next year they would get married, and only after that Shyan could come closer to her. Arya actually wanted to continue her further studies only after marrying Shyan.
Now Arya couldn't see anything beyond Shyan. She was even ready for marriage at such a young age because there had been many such marriages in her community, done before the legal age, in front of the family deity — and once the legal age was reached, they were registered in marriage court. The presence of both the boy's and girl's parents was essential in this.
This was Arya's only wish — but maybe Shyan had something else in mind. He wanted to meet her physically, to talk to her, but Arya was too scared and so shy of Shyan that she couldn't even imagine any of it.
Now Shyan often called her through gestures — but she never responded. Whenever she saw him coming from afar, she would move aside or stand among a group of girls so that he wouldn't come near.
This continued for many days. Arya's condition had started improving, but she kept imagining being with Shyan all the time and got so lost in it that she lost track of time.
She started feeling his presence near her every moment. Whether he was actually there or not, he was always close to her.
But Shyan wasn't okay with that.
One day he gestured Arya to come, and when she didn't, he got frustrated and wrote a letter. He sent it to Arya through Rara.
When Arya read the letter, she first laughed and then thought about how much she had troubled Shyan.
Shyan had confessed all his feelings in the letter and wrote everything he felt.
He wrote that she was special to him, and there was no one like her in the entire world.
He also wrote —
"You have such tantrums, you make me suffer so much…"
Now Shyan didn't know that Arya felt the same — she just couldn't show it.
Arya also replied to the letter and wrote down every feeling she had been holding inside her for so long.
Arya told him that she couldn't even stand in front of him, so how could she talk? She did want to meet him — but there were some compulsions because of which she couldn't.
Now both started writing letters to each other, but always delivered them through someone else.
Some of Arya's classmates felt jealous of her, so they went to the principal and complained — that senior students come to their class and disturb them.
Shyan assumed Arya had made the complaint — because she was also from that class.
He wrote a breakup letter to Arya and said —
"Anyway, you never come to meet me, I'm tired of you…"
Shyan had kept all the letters Arya wrote — and returned all of them.
Seeing this, Arya felt deeply hurt and also wondered how he could even think that way about her.
Arya wrote more letters to him — but he didn't accept them, which made her even more upset.
Now Arya's heart was broken — and the dark forces in her life always awakened when she was emotionally weak.
She stayed sad all the time.
She even stopped talking to her Savi God. She continued her fasts silently.
She only said to Him —
"Even with You around, I still have to endure so much…"
Now the negative energy couldn't enter her directly — but it could hurt her through someone.
After coming home, Arya felt as if someone pushed her from the stairs — and she fell. She got hurt on her forehead and foot.
Her parents were very upset — especially her mother.
But Arya only saw the wound on her heart — she didn't even acknowledge the wounds on her body.
Half-yearly exams had started throughout the school.
Arya had started coming to school again — her wounds were still there. On top of that, whenever she stepped out of class, Shyan's classmates mocked her by calling her a traitor — because everyone thought Arya was the one who complained.
And those who knew the truth — just wanted to see Arya hurt.
In such moments, Arya got deeply saddened — her stress levels began rising.
Even her exams weren't going well.
That's when Rara came to Arya — hugged her and said —
"You're not so weak that you take everything so much to heart…"
Rara asked her to ignore everything.
Arya listened to Rara's words carefully, and some of the burden in her heart felt lighter.
Many days passed like this. Shyan started noticing Arya again.
When he found out, he wanted to convince Arya again.
He wanted her back in the relationship.
Shyan asked Rara to tell Arya — that she should talk to him, he really loved her and couldn't live without her.
