Visions in the Dark (Part 3 – The Truth Behind the Dreams)
Maya refused to accept it.
Aarav's death had broken her .She had to understand why this was happening. There had to be a reason.
The accident. Everything had changed after the accident.
She sat on her bed, breathing heavily, trying to remember exactly what had happened that day. The speeding car. The screech of tires. The pain. The moment everything went dark.
