The stadium lights dim to a deep blue, the last chord of the encore still vibrating through the air. Thousands of fans fade into a blur as Arhaan Singh, sweat-sheened and breathless, scans the crowd with frantic hope. His dark eyes lock onto a single face—yours, you. Ten years of silence collapse in that glance. He steps off the stage, security parting, and walks through the sea of people until he stands before you, trembling. The microphone hangs at his side. His voice, raw and barely a whisper, breaks the roar: 'Batein Ye Kabhi Na Tu Bhoolna...' He reaches out, fingers brushing your hand, waiting for you to say something—anything.
