Welcome to the podcast from the bottom of your heart. Mumbai nights are full of dreams. Some dreams come true, some remain incomplete. But sometimes these nights meet. Meetings that turn the direction of life. This is the story of Ahana and Varun, who were taken on an unknown journey on one night in Mumbai.
Ahana was a writer from Indore. She was lost in the world of stories since childhood. Her dream was to publish her novel. Mumbai, the city of dreams, was pulling her towards itself. One day she gathered her courage and came to Mumbai after convincing her family.
It was a difficult start. Expensive flats, foreign cities, loneliness, all these surrounded him. He tried to be a paying guest in many places, but he couldn't find anything. Finally, he found a place in a hostel.
While staying in the hostel, he met Varun. Varun had been living in Delhi since childhood. He worked as a software engineer in Mumbai. He was very friendly and always ready to help others. Since he came to Mumbai, he had been living in this hostel. It had been 5 years since he had been living here. The conversation between the two started in the hostel. Ahana had little knowledge about Mumbai.
Varun told him about the city, explained how to walk in the local train and sometimes took him out of the hostel to have tea. One day, the warden of the hostel suddenly announced that the hostel was being closed. The residents had to find a new place within a week. Ahana was worried. It was difficult to find a flat in such a short time. He told Varun his problem.
Varun told him that he was thinking of shifting to a flat anyway. He gave Ahana an idea. He is going to see a flat which is for two people. The rent is also low. If Ahana wanted, they could have taken the flat together.
Ahana liked this idea. She knew that buying a flat alone would be out of her budget. She decided to look for a flat with Varun. The flat was small but clean and looked good according to their needs. They immediately decided to buy a flat.
In a few days, Ahana came back to her new flat with her stuff from the hostel. There were two rooms in the flat, a small hall and a kitchen. The furniture was not much but it was enough to stay. In the evening, Dhaltevarun returned from work.
He showed Ahana the flat. Ahana started preparing the room. Varun helped her. In keeping the stuff, in covering, he was helping Ahana in everything. The first night, something was strange in the flat. New city, new house, everything was unknown. Ahana was a little scared. Varun understood this. He made tea from the kitchen and that night they talked till late night.
Ahana told him what his dream was to come to Mumbai. He told him about his novel which no publisher had liked till now. Varun listened carefully and gave him courage. He said Mumbai is definitely the city of dreams but success is not easy here. Work has to be done. The night was enough for all the talks. Suddenly the electricity went off.
This was a speciality of the nights in Mumbai. It was raining and it was raining heavily outside. The fear of loneliness began to strike Ahana. She accepted and started thinking whether she had made the right decision or not.
After coming to Mumbai, Varun scared him. He came close and slowly called out to him. "Ahana, don't be scared. The electricity will come in a while." He made Ahana sit on the sofa and took out a book from his bookshelf.
Varun was very fond of reading books. He told Ahana that he likes reading books in rainy nights. He opened the book and started telling him stories in his calm, soothing voice.
Ahana felt at peace in the sound of the rain and the sound of the rain. She felt as if she was in a safe place. Slowly, her anxiety started to decrease. She got lost in listening to the story. Even after the story ended, both of them remained silent for some time. The sound of the rain was decreasing. The light was also on. Ahana felt a little strange when the room was lit.
Varun understood his fear. He smiled and said, "You are not scared now, are you?" Ahana also said with a slight smile, "No, I am fine now." Varun saw the clock. The night was over. He said to Ahana, "It's late. You should go to sleep." Ahana got up and went to her room. Varun left her at the door.
"Good night, Ahana," said Varun. "Good night, Varun," replied Ahana. Even after lying in her room, Ahana was not able to sleep. Varun's voice, the rumbling of the rain, all this was wandering in his mind. He felt that he was not alone. He had a companion in Mumbai too. After a while, he fell asleep. Waking up in the morning, he saw that Varun was standing in the balcony and drinking tea.
Good morning, Ahana! Varun smiled and said Good morning, Varun! Ahana replied From that morning, their new life had begun An unknown city, an unknown companion But both were realizing that this journey might take them to an unknown destination Even the rains of Mumbai can be a season of love What will happen in the story of Ahana and Varun?
