Author POV
Nayan woke up. Still weak. He looked around only to find himself on a hospital bed. He found Arjun and his parents worried looking at him with concern.
He weakly whispered, "Pari."

His parents call doctor. The doctor rushed inside and checked him. He was stable now but still he needed rest. Later, he found out he had been unconscious for 3 days.
The next day, he was brought home. He was no longer the warm sunshine. He had turned cold and distant with everyone. He barely talked or smiled. He used to be in his own bubble — the bubble of pain, longing, loss, guilt, and regret. But in this, neither his parents nor Arjun lost hope. They used to crack jokes around him, try to make him laugh — but all in vain.
