Prologue



"Where are you? The maid has already prepared the food. Come home quickly," Mihika said on the phone.

"Just one more, Mihi. We'll be back immediately after catching one more fish," Darshit replied from the other end of the phone.

A few moments later, two sturdy young men stood in front of Mihika, each holding a box in one hand and a fishing rod in the other.

Mihika stood with her hands clasped near her chest, watching them.

"What should I do with you two? I called you two hours ago, and you're just coming now," Mihika said angrily.

"Sorry, Mihi. We got so engrossed in catching fish that we lost track of time. Please forgive us. Look at this, we've caught so many fish," Darshit said, gesturing towards the large box.

"Cook and eat it yourself," Mihika said angrily, stomping her foot and walking back into the room.

Darshit looked at the other man who was standing beside him, then gestured towards Mihika and followed her into the room.

"Mihi baby, I'm sorry, I was—" Darshit was about to speak when Mihika interrupted, "Did you find out anything? Did he say anything?"

"No, Mihi, I tried a lot, but he remained silent the whole time," Darshit said, concerned.

"In two days, it will be three months, and we'll have to go back home. If he doesn't say anything, what will we do, Darsh?" Mihika was very worried.

"Don't worry, we still have two days. By then, we'll figure something out," Darshit reassured Mihika and hugged her.

After two days passed without Darshit and Mihika learning anything, they decided that the man would go home with Darshit.

Darshit was from a middle-class family but due to his sharp intellect and high IQ level, he had excelled beyond his peers at a young age. This is why he had made significant progress by the age of 23 and established his own company. Apart from Darshit's family, no one knew that he was the owner of a multinational company.

On the other hand, Mihika belonged to a wealthy family. Being the only daughter of the family, everyone showered her with love and affection and pampered her alot . However, due to her dusky complexion, she didn't have any true friends; anyone who befriended her did so for her money. Therefore, she had stopped making friends altogether. Only Darshit was her friend since childhood. But Mihika's family preferred her to maintain no friendship with a boy, so no one in her family knew about Darshit.

Every year, Darshit and Mihika would make an excuse of a trip and meet at Darshit's beach house for three months.

One day, when Darshit and Mihika went for a walk by the beach in the morning, they found a man lying unconscious on the shore. He had wounds all over his body  and gunshot injury in his back . They got him treated and decided to keep him with them. However, despite spending all this time together, he never spoke a word. He lived with them, ate with them, wandered around, but he never uttered a single word and always seemed lost. Seeing him, it seemed

as if he has no interest in life.
