--

In a room wear only some rays of sunset can be seen and have a reddess look. sitting a boy on a mat. Quietly without any movement.

**(In boys mind)**

*Davis Qaz, who is he .*

Then a voice echoe in his mind.

* hehehe, child i wasn't ever this foolish even in milk days *

* Shut up you *

* You what?, now get this to your thick skull

I.,am.,not.,your.,damn...imagination* in a harsh voice. I am you and you is me what you know I now and what I know you also know, (with a pause) and who is davis?, you also know that. But you don't want to remember*

With that a deep silence fall in the room, than boy spoked again.

* So you are saying that I am you, and you is me?*

*Not exactly, but you are right * in a cold and indifference tone.

*So you can talk freely because of chackra awakening, and how can I recall the memory you are saying.. that I don't want to remember?* in a calm tone.

*Hm,(a slight conformation ) and I am not saying you don't want to remember, i mean you are not ready to confront them now, and that's why I came as a same but separated existence. And when time comes we are going to become one Identity again and dthe memories will get restore again.

Hmm but for now I can transfer the memories that I have access ,to your to your concious mind ,during your sleeps.*

* So with time and awakening we are going to merge and I have full control of my memories?*with a confused but focussed tone.

*No, to merge we have to be a different personalities, l am you.., just a suppressed part of you.and When you expect yourself then I well go back where I came from,and that's you*

* And when did you born? *

* I don't know *

*So you have, the information I was looking for*

*No,I mean I have but I don't have access on those memories and I also don't know any answer of the questions you have , for that you have to retrieve your memories*

* You know everything that I know*

*Yes*( calmly.)

* That's mean we are at a same age , so why are you addressing me,.as a child* with a annoyed tone.

*Because I am intelegent and smarter than you ?* (he said like a world fact)

Aashwit ignored him and Spoked

*So that mean you can also see and feel everything, That I feel or do?*

* Yes , I can *

* And I have no control over it? *

* No, i mean now your chackra is active , I can't see or feel anything you don't want to*

*Sigh..., that's some relief, and how can I do that?, and also what happens to you when I block you?*

*Nothing you have to just think, and to what happens to me?, I just went into a deep slumber until you awake me.*

*Hmm*with a thoughtful experience.

*So what can I call you*

*I am more intelligent, sharper and faster then you like, like.. hmm, like thunder in front of a cell . So you can call be vidyut and that's our family name to, so there isn't going to have any problem when I become one with your consciousness*

* So, V.i.d.y.u.t with a (furious look)can you go to sleep now ?*

After a movement he calmed himself and spoked a loud.

"Hello, can you hear me?, are you there"

*Hmm, so this really works, I also can't find his presence like before*with confirmation nod.

" I should also went to sleep it's late already"

—————————————————————

Next morning———

In a dark room, a boy sitting in a complex yoga pose, eyes closed, deep in thought. After a few minutes, he slowly opens his eyes and releases himself from the pose known as Vrischikasana. He stands and moves toward a mirror, speaking softly to himself.

"Mmmm davis qaz ,so this is the name that I was known in my previous life"

But know I am known as Aashwit Bidyut. I am the last member of my family. My parents died when I was four, and after that, I lived with my grandmother until she passed away two years ago. We didn't have many financial resources; she raised me by doing household works for the people in the society buildings, and I also worked part-time in some shops for extra money. She died from overwork. ( In a regretful voice)"

He steps in front of a photo frame of an elderly woman, appearing to be in her eighties. Aashwit lights a diya 🪔, closes his hands in a namaste pose, and begins to pray. After thirty seconds, he leaves the tiny one-room house that contains only a washroom and a kitchen, with no space even for a bicycle

"tomorrow I tuned 17, Guess my memories aren't returning anytime soon."

*Sigh.*

* Yes, they aren't going to be back until you are ready for them *

"I know,. the memories you transferred last night I can excess some of my powers and artifacts too.

Let's use that artifact that I have in my spatial ring which allows to revive souls back to life.

( The artifact of life created by the branch of a world tree by the first elve princess when she is trying to create a artifact which can revive her sister from the death. But she failed and created a artifact which can also revive the dead but with some conditions. To use that artifact user have to be very strong than the the one who is getting revive and that artifact can break after three times of use. And the soul of who is getting revived have necessary to not have any chackra activated. This artifact is useless in his previous life, but in this life this artifact is very important for him.)

"Let's get started." With this a white ficus leave having golden veins in it come in his hand.

*Who you going to revive?*

*I am going to revive two people.*

*So you decided then?*

* what are you talking about?* Aashwit stated without giving any clear answer.

With that thought, he begins chanting mantras. In the next moment, two bodies begin to take shape: one is a girl who resembles an apsara, with long black hair and dark eyes, while the other is a boy who looks like a seasoned warrior, battle-worn yet strong, also with black eyes and hair. Both appear in there birth clothes as they come fully into existence, staring at Aashwit, who wears an expressionless face. However, behind that cold facade, a barely noticeable smile flickers.

Since they were created by him, he imparts some basic knowledge about him and how he received them will hidding the imformtion about the recarnation and his previous life.world and how it works. After a few seconds, he addresses the boy:

" it's a while, when we saw eachother....,Udhav." Aashwit said looking at the boy standing in front of him looking around the room in a daze.

Then he looks at the girl, who gazes at him with sparkling eyes and a slight blush. Then Aashwit speaks again:

" And how's you ,... Mohini?"

But to his reply Mohini remained silent looking at him with a daze.

"? , so ?" Aashwit questioned again waving his hand in front of her face.

"Aashwit it's really you?" with a suspicious look, Udhav who is quite all this time asked.

"People do call me that." Aashwit said tilting his head in confusion.

Udhav interjects again, "you really are Aashwit?"

"Aashwit Bidyut," he confirmed.

Hearing this, Mohini who is looking at Aashwit in daze. Hearing this Various thoughts which are roaming in her mind all this time get all cleared and she jumped up on Aashwit as wrapping her arms around his neck. Still hugging at him, her body is trembling then she spoked."I miss you! I missed you so much! I thought we would never meet again!"

Looking her face and feeling her trembling body Aashwit smiled lightly and started to pet her back confirming like he is saying don't worry everything is fine now.

After holding him tightly for a few minutes, her senses return, but to Aashwit and Udhav's surprise. she started to cries even louder. "Waaahhhh! Aashwit, you died too!"

Seeing her distress, Aashwit contemplates the situation. He realizes that she misunderstood something. With a sigh he spoked.

"Sigh, Look, little lady, I am not dead. I am alive and well, also try to use your head i gave you every important information you need to know. How the hack you can think I died too?," he asked with a defeated tone.

" Ha?" She frowned and pressured her mind a little and a she did a surge of memories started to flow in her mind.

" Sigh or i thought we are in heaven and you died by committing suicide" she muttered in a disappointing voice. That everyone Heard in the the quite room.

*Sigh..she started again.* Udhav thought inwardly while holding his head. he seems like all this resurrection and things was not new for him and the normalist thing of the day.

"what the, why I would committed suicide!?"

"because you can't take it that I died, and live without me, so you committed suicide?" She said with a innocent look on her face. Like she is youtuber or something and saying facts to her audiance.

*This girl lives in her own world* Aashwit facepalmed.

"But how? I know I died that day!" she protests.

"Don't ask me how I did it; I resurrected you both and you have the necessary information and don't ask about this in the future too, when time comes i will tell you."

Mohini, still in disbelief, responds, "Whatever happened, none of that matters now. What matters is that I get to see you again. I don't want to make the same mistake as before, so I need to tell you something."

Aashwit raises an eyebrow in sudden change of atmosphere, intrigued. "What is it?" His voice remains calm as he asked.

Gathering her courage, Mohini stammers, "I...want to say that I...I love you." She said in one go.

"What?" Aashwit who was stunned or may be pretending to be stunned questioned.

With her last words, her confidence surges, and she continues, "I have wanted to tell you for so long, but after my parents died, my brother and I started to live with our aunt, and I never had the chance to tell you. I thought I could confess when I moved to the city, but I died before I could express my feelings."

Aashwit remaind silent as she continued.

" You know what's my biggest regret was when I died? " Without waiting for any answer she replied " it's you, my biggest regret is not telling myself to you, when I have chance. that day when I was about to move with my aunt you are standing in front of me."

After her heartfelt confession, silence envelops the room. They can hear each other's heartbeats. Aashwit eventually brocks the silence, saying, "You do know that I manipulated you to be my friend?, right? My smiles, my words, and my expressions are all a facade. So why do you love me?"

"Love doesn't need a reason. If love requires a reason, it isn't true love," she counters.

"Oh, so what?"He asked. complex emotions are showing on his face. When they was childern he didn't have any friends, but one day when he passing by the street he saw Mohini who was about to attacked by a street dog and Aashwit saved her from that dog and when Mohini thanked him. He thought something and asked that he wants to be her friend. He didn't manipulated her but his grandmothers teachings which says always help everyone in need without any greed of getting anythin in return. He thinks he manipulated her to be his friend. Now he don't believe in this teaching blindly. But still inside somewhere in his heart he don't know.

"I want to be with you, now and forever"

"No" Aashwit said looking into her eyes.

*I don't know what's going on inside my heart but right now ?y guts are screaming. No not let her get close*

" I am going to live with you and that's final"

!" She said looking in his eyes.

" What you can do if I say no?" He said In a curious tone.

" I am going to cry " she said in a threating tone while still gazing in his eyes.

"Are you trying to emotionally blackmail me?"

"Yes."

"Too bad; that's not going to work on me."

A single tear rolls down from her eyes and she was about to start crying that Aashwit shouted.

" Stop, stop you can live here please don't cry" * I can't believe I fall for that old trick again*

"Fufufu ,,I know you can't let me cry" she giggled lighting the tense atmosphere.

"So when we are going to marry?" She said making some space between them.

"Hmm if my memory is right I never accepted your proposal?" Aashwit said while raising his eyebrow.

"Hmm ut if my memory serves me right you never rejected it right?"

To her question Aashwit remained silent and after a minute he said.

"Fine, do what you want," Aashwit says, "but remember, I don't love you yet."

However, Mohini hears only, "yet." Humans possess an extraordinary ability to hear only what they wish and alter their memories. She doesn't register his words as anything but a promise.

With a radiant smile, she declares, "Okay, h.u.s...b.a.n.d."

"I am not your husband," Aashwit retorts.

"Why not? You just said you will love me, don't you? ."

To this he became speachless again.

"Yet? That implies there's a chance in the future!" she said, her excitement bubbling over.

*What happened to me? I am not like this, sigh* he said in his mind.

"So, I can do what I want, right?"

"Yes."* Do what you want, anyway I have to do other things to*

"So, I can stay and live with you?"

"As you wish." * Did is just I or there is some scheme going in her mind like when she tricked me to go with her in that party' when we are children*

"I can cook for you?"

"If you want."

"I can do anything I want?"

"Yes, you can do anything you want."

* Sigh what I am thinking, she just wanted to help*

"Like, really anything?"

Aashwit replies, "Right, anything."

* No there is something* Aashwit thought and was about to take back his words

but in the next movement , In a flash, Mohini jumped on him again, wrapping her arms around his neck. Before he can say anything, their lips meet.
