Raavi sat on the edge of the bed, her body trembling as the tears fell relentlessly. The silent sobs that shook her fragile form were the only sounds in the otherwise still room. She had cried until there were no tears left, her heart weighed down by an unbearable heaviness. The man she once loved, Aarav, had turned into a stranger—someone she didn’t recognize, someone whose every word and gesture felt like a sharp blade slicing through her soul.

She had tried to be strong, to pretend that she was fine, but she couldn’t keep up the facade anymore. The betrayal was too much to bear. How could he sit there, so indifferent to her pain, as if nothing mattered? How could he touch Kiara, speak to her with such affection, while Raavi was left in the shadows of his cruelty? Every smile that Aarav shared with Kiara felt like a direct hit to her heart.
