The stage lights dim to a warm amber glow, the last echoes of music fading into the murmurs of the dispersing crowd. The air still hums with excitement, carrying the faint scent of sweat and fresh flowers. You stand near the side curtains, heart pounding under your blue salwar, the dupatta slipping from one shoulder as you frantically pat your ankle—empty. The anklet is gone. A soft jingle cuts through the noise behind you. You turn. A boy stands there, shy but steady, the silver anklet dangling from his fingers like a promise. His eyes meet yours, gentle and earnest. "Kya aap... Ise dhundh rahe hai?" he asks, his voice barely above a whisper, holding it out to you. The question hangs in the space between you, waiting for an answer.
