Days turned into weeks as Aryan adjusted to life on the alien planet. But one day, the time travel device malfunctioned, its lights blinking erratically. Before Aryan could react, the device activated on its own, enveloping him in a blinding light. When the light faded, Aryan found himself back on Earth—but not the Earth he knew.

He had been transported back in time, to a period long before he was born. Stuck in the past with no way to return to his time, Aryan was forced to accept his fate. In this new life, he met a beautiful woman named Chaya, he instantly fell in love as if it was destined to be, and eventually married her. But the greatest surprise came when they had a child—a boy with a fascination for the stars, just like Aryan had once been.

It was then that Aryan realized the truth—he was both father and son. The cycle had come full circle. The promise Dhruv had made to Maya, the warnings, the letters—it all made sense now. Aryan was trapped in a loop, destined to relive the same life over and over.

As Aryan looked down at his newborn son, he felt a sense of peace. He had lived a life of adventure, of discovery, of love. And now, as the cycle began anew, he left a note for his future self, to be read when the time was right.
