Author's POV:

Hriday looked at Jeeva who was controlling his emotions as he walked out. That's when he turned his attention to the front, and what he saw made him freeze. It was the pictures of Devika and Himanshi. Hriday couldn't believe his own eyes. Garlands were placed around both the pictures, making it clear that they were no more. The people he had been searching for all these years were dead, and the realization struck him hard. All those years of searching, all the questions and hopes he had carried with him suddenly felt meaningless.
