It was Diwali night, and the Kohli mansion was filled with the festive glow of diyas, laughter, and joy. Prachi had finally made up her mind to tell Ranbir the one thing he had been longing to hear: her yes to marriage. Dressed in a simple yet elegant lehenga, her beauty reflected the inner happiness she felt. The entire family was busy celebrating the festival, unaware that danger lurked in the shadows.

Kunal Agnihotri, a ghost from Prachi's past, had returned—obsessed, vengeful, and filled with hatred for Ranbir. He wanted to eliminate Ranbir and claim Prachi for himself. With madness in his eyes, 

Kunal sneaked into the Kohli mansion, dousing parts of the house in kerosene before lighting a match.

As the flames began to engulf the house, chaos erupted. The fire spread quickly, consuming everything in its path.

The fire alarms blared, shattering the peaceful night. Ranbir, Kartik, and Raj were outside helping set up the final fireworks, unaware of the growing inferno inside.

Inside the mansion, Naira, Namrata, Kairav, and Babita were caught unaware. Naira was asleep in her room upstairs, exhausted from the day's festivities. Namrata screamed as the flames reached the living room, blocking the exits.

Main toh jiya na mara

Hai ve das main ki kara

(I'm neither alive nor dead

Oh tell me please, what should I do)

Namrata (screaming): "Jiji! Aag lag gayi hai! Jiji, bachao(Sister! There's a fire! Sister, help!)"

Prachi, who was coming down the stairs, froze when she saw the fire. Her instincts kicked in immediately. She ran to Namrata, grabbing her hand and pulling her toward the door.

Dil jude bina hi toot gaye

Hath mile bina hi chhut gaye

(The hearts broke before they connected

The hands separated before they met)

Prachi (panicking but firm): "Namrata! Mujhe chhodo mat, bas mere saath raho. Hum bahar nikal jayenge(Namrata! Don't leave me, just stay with me. We will get out!)"

Ki likhe ne lekh kismat ne

Baar baar rodh akhiyan

(What has fate written for me

My eyes keep crying all the time)

Namrata (sobbing): "Jiji, mujhe darr lag raha hai(Sister, I'm scared!)"

Prachi hugged her tightly and whispered in her ear.

Tainu joh na vekh sakiyan

Kho liya hai yaar kudrat ne

(Since they couldn't see you

It seems that nature has stolen my pal)

Prachi: "Namrata, meri taraf dekho. Tum bahadur ho, theek hai? Chalo(Namrata, look at me. You are brave, okay? Let us go!)" 

Holding Namrata's hand tightly, Prachi led her through the flames, coughing as the smoke thickened. She saw Babita in the corner, frozen in shock, with Kairav clutching her arm.

Kataan main kive din

Teri sau tere bin

(How do I pass these days and nights

I swear without you)

Prachi (shouting): "Chachi ji, aap aur Kairav yahaan kya kar rahe hain?! Jaldi! Mere peeche aaiye (Aunty ji, what are you and Kairav ​​doing here?! Quick! Follow me!)" 

Babita (panicking): "Prachi beta, Kairav... woh dar gaya hai! Yeh hil nahi raha(Prachi daughter, Kairav... he is scared! He's not moving!)"

Main toh jiya na mara

(I'm neither alive nor dead)

Prachi knelt down and cupped Kairav's face, her own voice trembling but full of determination.

Prachi: "Kairav, tumhe pata hai na, tum kitne strong ho? Chachi pe bharosa hai(Kairav, do you know how strong you are? Trust aunty)" 

Chan se joh toote koi sapna

Jag soona soona lage

(When a dream shatters in a flash

The world seems lonely)

Kairav, tears streaming down his cheeks, nodded.

Kairav (stammering): "Chachi, mujhe aapke saath jaana hai... please(Aunty, I want to go with you... please!)" 

Jag soona soona lage

Koi rahe na jab apna

(The world seems lonely

When there is no loved one left)

Prachi (smiling faintly): "Bas, tum mujhe tight pakad lo. Chalo(Just hold me tight. Let us go!)" 

With Namrata clinging to her left hand and Kairav to her right, Prachi guided Babita and the children through the flames, covering their faces with her dupatta to protect them from the smoke. They managed to reach the main door, where the family's screams could be heard from outside.

Jag soona soona lage

Jag soona soona hai toh

(The world seems lonely

The world seems lonely)

As they reached the safety of the lawn, Babita collapsed on the ground, gasping for air. Namrata hugged her mother tightly, sobbing uncontrollably. Ranbir, Kartik, and Raj ran toward them.

Yeh kyun hota hai

Jab yeh dil rota hai

(Why does this happen

When this heart cries)

Ranbir (terrified): "Prachi! Tum theek ho(Prachi! You are ok?!)"

Before he could get an answer, Kairav cried out, tugging on Prachi's dupatta.

Roye sisak sisak ke hawayein

Jag soona lage

(Even the winds cry along

The world seems lonely)

Kairav (frantically): "Chachi, mere Mumma andar hain! Mumma andar hain(Aunty, my mother is inside! Mom is inside!)"

Prachi froze. Her heart sank as she realized Naira was still trapped in the burning house. Her mind raced—she couldn't let Kairav lose his mother, and she couldn't let Kartik live with that pain. Without a second thought, she turned to run back inside.

Chan se joh toote koi sapna

Jag soona soona lage

(When a dream shatters in a flash

The world seems lonely)

Ranbir (shouting): "Prachi! Tum pagal ho gayi ho kya?! Wahaan jaane ka matlab hai maut (Prachi! Have you gone mad?! Going there means death!)"

The fire was everywhere.

Jag soona soona lage

Koi rahe na jab apna

(The world seems lonely

When there is no loved one left)

A raging inferno consuming everything in its path, twisting and crackling like a beast unleashed. Smoke filled the air, thick and suffocating. The faint wail of sirens could be heard in the distance, but it felt like an eternity before anyone would arrive.

Ranbir stood frozen outside the mansion, his heart pounding in his chest. He had heard the screams, saw the smoke billowing from the windows, and rushed to the door. But the moment he stepped forward, something stopped him — a vision that hit him like a ton of bricks.

Prachi (firmly): "Naira bhabhi andar hain, Ranbir! Agar unhe kuch ho gaya toh Kairav ka kya hoga? Kartik bhai ka kya hoga? Mujhe jaana hoga(Naira sister-in-law is inside, Ranbir! If something happens to her, what will happen to Kairav? What will happen to Kartik brother? I have to go!)" 

Ranbir's mind flashed back to the past:

It was a fire, just like this one. The night his world shattered.

His mother, Akshara, had been trapped inside their house after a fire broke out. He had been outside, just like this time, helplessly watching as the flames consumed everything.He had watched, immobilized, as his mother screamed for help, and he couldn't reach her.

Jag soona soona lage

Jag soona soona lage re

Soona lage re

(The world seems lonely

The world seems lonely

Seems lonely)

That night, his world had burned down with his mother inside. And today, history seemed to be repeating itself.

Raj (grabbing her arm): "Prachi, tu yeh kya kar rahi hai? Yeh jaan ka khatra hai(Prachi, what are you doing? This is life threatening!)"

Roothi roothi sari raatein

Pheeke pheeke sare din

(All the nights are upset

All the days are colourless)

Prachi (teary but resolute): "Mujhe apni parvaah nahi, chacha ji! Naira bhabhi mujhe maa ki tarah lagti hain. Unhe wahan nahi chhod sakti. Bhagwan ka vishwaas hai mujh par... mujhe jaana hoga(I don't care about myself, uncle! Naira sister-in-law is like a mother to me. They cannot be left there. God has faith in me...I have to go!)" 

Virani si virani hai

Tanhai si tanhai hai

(There is total loneliness

There is total desolation)

Ignoring everyone's protests, Prachi ran back into the blazing mansion.

The smoke inside was suffocating, and the flames roared louder with each passing second. Prachi covered her mouth and nose with her dupatta, navigating through the house as her eyes watered. She called out for Naira.

Aur ek hum hai pyar ke bin har palchin

(And my every moment is without love)

Prachi (shouting): "Bhabhi! Naira bhabhi, aap kahan hain?! Mujhe awaaz dijiye(Sister in law Naira sister in law, where are you?! Give me a call!)"

Chan se joh toote koi sapna

Jag soona soona lage

(When a dream shatters in a flash

The world seems lonely)

From upstairs, a faint voice responded.

Naira (weakly): "Prachi... main yahaan hoon... mujhe... madad chahiye(Prachi... I am here... I... need help...)"

Jag soona soona lage

Koi rahe na jab apna

(The world seems lonely

When there is no loved one left)

Prachi dashed up the stairs, which were partially engulfed in flames. She winced as the heat scorched her skin but didn't stop. 

She reached Naira's room and found her unconscious on the bed.

Jag soona soona lage

Jag soona soona lage re

(The world seems lonely

The world seems lonely)

Prachi (panicking): "Bhabhi! Bhabhi, uthiye(Sister in law! Sister-in-law, get up!)"

She shook Naira gently, tears streaming down her face. When Naira didn't respond, Prachi wrapped her dupatta around Naira's face and lifted her with all her strength. Staggering under the weight, she slowly made her way back downstairs, each step feeling like an eternity.

Patharon ki is nagari mein

Pathar chehre, pathar dil

(In this world of stones

The faces and hearts are of stones)

By the time she reached the living room, the flames had surrounded the exit. Prachi looked around desperately, coughing violently as the smoke filled her lungs. She spotted a gap near the window and headed toward it.

Phirta hai maara maara

Kyun raahon mein tu awaara

(Why do you roam around

In the streets like a vagabond)

Prachi (determined): "Bhagwan, mujhe shakti dijiye... Naira bhabhi ko surakshit nikalne ke liye (Lord, give me strength... to bring Naira sister-in-law to safety!)"

Yahan na hoga kuch hasil mere dil

(My heart you won't get anything here)

With one last burst of strength, she pushed through the flames and broke the window open, collapsing onto the lawn with Naira in her arms.

Chan se joh toote koi sapna

Jag soona soona lage

Jag soona soona lage

(When a dream shatters in a flash

The world seems lonely

The world seems lonely)

As soon as Prachi and Naira fell onto the grass, Namrata screamed.

Namrata (crying): "Jiji! Jiji, aap theek toh hain(Sister! Sister, are you okay?!)" 

Koi rahe na jab apna

Jag soona soona lage

Jag soona soona hai toh

(When there is no loved one left

The world seems lonely

The world seems lonely)

Babita (horrified): "Prachi beta... tumhara chehra(Prachi daughter...your face!)"

Prachi's neck and body except her face were severely burned, her dupatta charred and her lehenga scorched. She was barely conscious, her breathing shallow.

Yeh kyun hota hai

Jab yeh dil rota hai

Roye sisak sisak ke hawayein

(Why does this happen

When this heart cries

Even the winds cry along)

Ranbir (running to her): "Prachi! Tumhe kisne bola tha yeh sab karne ke liye? Tum pagal ho kya?! Tumhe pata hai tumne mujhe kitna dara diya hai(Prachi! Who told you to do all this? Are you crazy?! Do you know how much you scared me?)" 

Jag soona lage

Chan se joh toote koi sapna

Jag soona soona lage

(The world seems lonely

When a dream shatters in a flash

The world seems lonely)

He held her close, tears streaming down his face as he looked at her burns. Prachi opened her eyes weakly, managing a faint smile.

Prachi (softly): "Ranbir... Naira bhabhi theek hain na(Ranbir...is Naira sister-in-law okay?)"

Jag soona soona lage

Koi rahe na jab apna

(The world seems lonely

When there is no loved one left)

Ranbir (choking on his words): "Haan, tumne unhe bacha liya... lekin tumne apna kya haal bana liya, Prachi(Yes, you saved her... but what have you done to yourself, Prachi?!)"

Kairav (crying loudly): "Chachi! Aapko dard ho raha hai kya? Main doctor bulaunga(Aunty! Are you feeling pain? I will call the doctor!)"

Prachi (smiling faintly at Kairav): "Mujhe tumhare liye sab kuch karna tha, Kairav. Tumhe meri chinta mat karo... main tumhare saath hoon(I had to do everything for you, Kairav. Don't worry about me... I'm with you.)" 

Raj and Naitik arrived just then, their faces stricken with worry. Naitik quickly ordered the staff to call for an ambulance. Kartik, who had returned from outside, fell to his knees beside Naira, hugging her tightly.

Jag soona soona lage

Jag soona soona lage re

(The world seems lonely

The world seems lonely)

Kartik (crying): "Prachi, tumne jo kiya... tumhare liye hum kabhi bhi shukriya nahi ada kar paayenge. Tumne meri zindagi bacha li(Prachi, we will never be able to thank you for what you did. You saved my life.)" 

Prachi's eyes fluttered shut as the pain and exhaustion took over. Ranbir held her tightly, his heart breaking at the sight of her burns.

Ranbir (whispering): "Prachi, mujhe chod kar mat jaana... tumse bina baat kiye toh main jee bhi nahi sakta(Prachi, don't leave me... I can't even live without talking to you.)" 

Soona lage more

(Seems lonely to me)

The memories of losing his mother, the feeling of being powerless, returned with a vengeance. His hands shook violently as he held her, helpless.
