EP 93 : Live-in Life: Sharing Rent & Hearts (Part 02) 14:00

Welcome to the podcast from the heart. Some relationships in Mumbai's fast-paced life develop slowly, like soft plants turn towards the sun. Ahana and Varun's relationship was also something like that.

This journey started with sharing a flat, and continued with friendship. First few days, Ahana got used to Mumbai. Varun helped her in every way. He would wake up early in the morning and make tea for Ahana. He would explain how to get and get off the local train. Sometimes he would take her to Mumbai on weekends.

The beautiful view of Marine Drive, the historic heritage of the Gateway of India, all of this made Ahana feel her city. Varun often came to Ahana's room in the evening. While talking to both, Ahana would tell him her written stories. Varun listened carefully and sometimes gave his opinion. Ahana liked it when someone listened to her stories so carefully.

She also told Varun about her childhood dreams and passion for writing. Gradually, their talks were getting deeper. Ahana told Varun about her city and her family. Varun also told her stories of his college days and his friends. He didn't know when the nights would end.

One day Ahana came to Varun's room disappointed. Her novel was not liked by any publisher. After meeting rejection from many places, her courage was lost. She said with disappointment, "Varun, maybe this dream is not for me. Maybe I should go back to Indore." Varun asked her to sit and sat close to her. "Ahana, you are not going to give up so soon.

Varun explained, "Success is not easy. You have to work hard." He said, "I like your stories very much. They have a different style. Just because some lighters didn't like your work, don't think you won't be successful." Ahana looked at him. He saw a ray of faith in his eyes. Varun told him,

If you don't mind, I can read your stories and give you my opinion. Ahana liked this idea. She brought the diary from her room in which her novel was written. That night, both of them read Ahana's story late at night and discussed it.

Varun gave him some suggestions to strengthen some parts of the story. Ahana liked his suggestions. After that night, Varun started helping him in Ahana's story. He would read Ahana's written stories, give his opinion and suggest as needed. In a few weeks, Ahana's story improved a lot.

She started writing with more enthusiasm. Varun's support and faith were giving her the strength to move forward. One evening, Varun returned from work. He had a envelope in his hand. The envelope had the name of a famous publishing house written on it. Ahana was shocked. "Varun, what is this?" She asked with excitement.

Varun smiled and said, "This is the answer to your story. I thought I would send your novel to this publishing house once. Ahana opened the envelope and took out the paper from it. His hands were trembling. He started reading the paper slowly. He started crying tears of joy. Varun shouted loudly and said, "My novel is going to be published.

Varun happily waved his hand. He hugged Ahana. He knew that Ahana's hard work was behind this success. They celebrated that evening. A few days later, they got a contract from the publishing house. Ahana was not happy. Her dream was about to come true.

A few months were left to publish his novel. In the meantime, Ahana started thinking about the promotion of the novel. Varun advised her that she can take support of social media. Varun himself made a social media account for Ahana and taught her to write.

Ahana started sharing her experiences and her experiences in Mumbai with her account. Slowly she started getting followers on social media. People liked her stories.

Some people even told him that their experience is similar to Ahana's stories. Ahana was very happy to know that her stories are touching people. She started writing with more enthusiasm. Varun always supported her.

Before publishing the novel, Ahana had become a well-known writer. Her novel came to the market and people liked it very much. Ahana liked her novel very much when she saw it in the book shops. That evening she went to a bookshop with Varun. She told Varun, Varun, this has all happened because of you. You have always supported me, kept my faith.

Varun smiled and said, "All this is the result of your hard work. I was just with you." That night, they left the bookshop and went to the Marine Drive. The cool breeze of the sea was giving them peace. Ahana held Varun's hand. "Varun," she said slowly, "you are my best friend. You are my biggest supporter." Varun also held his hand.

He looked into Ahana's eyes and smiled and said, "And you are my best flatmate." That night, standing by the sea, the two hugged each other. There was a new turn in their relationship. They were not just friends and flatmates, but they had become something special for each other.

No one knows how love happens, but when it happens, it gives life a new direction. But they themselves did not know what this special feeling in their hearts was called. Is it love, friendship, or a unique union of the two? A few days later, the novel of Ahana was launched. A program was organized at a well-known bookshop.

Varun was standing on the stage with Ahana. Ahana talked about her novel, shared her writing journey experience. When it was Varun's turn to speak, he looked at Ahana and smiled. "I am Ahana's biggest fan," he said. "But what makes me even happier is that she is my flatmate, who helped me to recognize a writer."

Ahana was impressed by his words. After the program, when everyone left, he and Varun were standing alone in the shop. Varun, Ahana said in a low voice, "Do you really think I'm just your flatmate?"

Varun remained silent for some time. Then he looked into Ahana's eyes and said, "Ahana, while living with you, listening to your stories, watching your dreams come true, I have found a special place in my heart for you. A place that I cannot name." Ahana also took his hands in her hands and said slowly,

Varun, I too have a special feeling for you. Maybe it's more than friendship, but it's also a little early to say love. Varun smiled. Maybe this is the beginning of a new story, our story. Both held each other's hands. The future was uncertain in front of them, but a hope was awakened in their hearts. A hope to walk together, a hope of a beautiful relationship.

Will this relationship between Ahana and Varun change into love? Will new challenges come in their lives? To know this, keep listening to the next episode of Dil Se Dil Tak With Khushi.
