A Promise Written in Stars

Epilogue

After eight brutal years, she stood before me like a living goddess, dra.ped in flowing blue saree. Her laughter echoed with her cousins, carefree and bright, as if I were a ghost from a forgotten past — as if my very presence meant nothing to her.

The instant my eyes locked on her, I drew in a sharp, ragged breath — the first true breath I had taken in nearly a decade. My gaze devoured her. These eyes, hardened by hell itself, felt unworthy yet blessed to witness her again.

No one would ever believe it.

I was the boy who had crawled out of the gutters, fighting stray dogs for scraps of bread, sleeping on freezing streets while the world tried to crush me. I had faced knives, fists, hunger, and betrayal since childhood. I rose through blood and fire, becoming the devil the world now fears — a man carved from stone, heart forged in iron, unbreakable.

Yet in this single moment, that iron heart shattered.

All my strength, all my scars, all the fear I instilled in others… vanished like smoke.

I was no longer the feared man. No longer the ruthless survivor.

I was stripped bare — just a desperate soul burning for her. A man on his knees in silence, craving her full attention like a dying man craves life. A man who would give everything for her light brown eyes to look only into his dark ones… and never look away again.
