Sanvi was a quiet, innocent girl who lived alone with her mother — the dean of her school. Her mother was a strict, ambitious woman who constantly pressured Sanvi to succeed, especially in winning the upcoming violin competition. It wasn’t about the music anymore; it was about pride.

One Evening:
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqB84vzoftg
Sanvi returned from school, her shoulders slumped under the weight of her books and her mother's expectations.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCE01UMFZkz
"Drink this," her mother said, handing her a glass of milk as soon as she stepped through the door.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntd3rupQgQ
She took it to her room, closed the door gently behind her, and without a second thought, poured the milk into the potted plant by her window.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNETzyYXga4
The Next Morning
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8TmadbkNA
While walking to school, Sanvi found herself surrounded by a group of boys — local hooligans .
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5Du0sQM5r
"Where are you off to, violin princess?" one sneered, stepping too close.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNu4P26B3w6
Before she could react, a voice broke through the tension.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0pwD6M2jR
"Back off."
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPg5PuRhn3I
Another boy stepped in. He was one of them — dressed rough, with eyes that seemed used to trouble. But something about him was different. Calmer. Kinder.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeILVunhGAP
He drove the others away, then turned to Sanvi. "Are you okay?"
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwUeAz04I4
She nodded, trembling slightly.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWID8qeSJa
He gently touched her arm, noticing a scratch. "You're bleeding."
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTMy8Zm7pm
They sat by the roadside as he cleaned her wound using a handkerchief and water from his bottle.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdeTcZh8JTq
Over the next few days, they met again — by chance, or maybe not.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWZVP6XIdS
But in his company, Sanvi felt like she could breathe.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwc8h2iDmV
One afternoon, in the quiet of an abandoned park, he leaned in and kissed her. It was sudden, electric. But when his hands began to move further, she gently pushed him back.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9lpE4Stzr
"I... I should go," she whispered, standing up quickly.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWdKuf6jl7
He blinked, surprised. "Oh... shit. Sorry."
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HuiYBGXGS
Sanvi didn’t reply. She just walked away, her heart pounding, unsure if it was from fear, guilt — or something else entirely.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0KicHABEw
As soon as Sanvi stepped through the front door, her mother’s voice echoed through the hall.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzxT75uyqH
"Where were you?"
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulXE5NjjMy
Sanvi froze, her bag still on her shoulder.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCvYuDmJkv
"Who are you hanging out with these days?" her mother demanded, arms crossed. "Don’t forget the violin competition is in two weeks. You’ve been slipping."
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxEm5QxV8K
Sanvi dropped her bag to the floor. Her voice cracked.
"Yes, yes... the violin competition. That’s all you ever care about, isn’t it?"
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMHQ6wUl5K
Sanvi stepped forward, tears already welling in her eyes.
"Have you ever cared about me? About how I feel? It's always school, violin, achievements — but never me."
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwgo5O4h6g
The slap came without warning.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkyhpQHsxl
Her mother’s hand trembled as she lowered it.
"You think this is easy for me? Ever since your father died, I’ve done everything I can to raise you right. Alone."
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dIlbdDBr7
Sanvi stood there, stunned, her cheek burning.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8y8i5g2El
"And what about me?" she whispered. "Have you ever given me anything but books and violins? I’m your daughter, not your project. I have feelings too, Mom."
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKP9A3cDwso
She turned and walked toward her room, shoulders shaking.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGZ7gHVyn6
"I left your milk in your room," her mother called coldly.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ouELKnZrv
Sanvi didn’t respond. She entered her room, shut the door behind her, and picked up the glass of milk from the desk. Her eyes were still wet.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNEi9U1sZN
She walked over to the plant near the window — the same one that had soaked up so many of her untouched drinks — and slowly poured the milk into the soil.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuV8Q1B6ibN
Sanvi left the house that evening with trembling hands and a fire in her chest. The slap, the shouting — it all echoed in her mind. She needed out. She needed him.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8ShO6vhNW
She knocked on Akash’s door.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXA6rVGSmW
The moment he opened it, she threw her arms around him and kissed him — deeply, desperately. There were no words, just breath and longing.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUk4PzMV6v
They held each other tighter than ever, and this time, there was no hesitation.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXn0vm4woXn
Later, the room was silent except for the ticking of an old wall clock. Sanvi, wrapped in a towel, noticed something leaning against the wall — a violin.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2pxICzZnu
She walked over, curious, her fingers brushing the strings. Then she began to play.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3CLvPmzXn
Soft. Melancholy. Pure.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68FelBPrN7
"Stop..." Akash said from behind her, voice breaking..But he stood frozen ..it's beautiful
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPwfio7BKp
Two Weeks Later
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡteLpU9rE7r
Their world had become a secret bubble — quiet mornings, soft music, hidden glances in the school hallway.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwproHRKeO
But one day, Sanvi burst into Akash’s place, eyes red, face pale.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJL8LR96FuP
"Akash..." she gasped, panicked. "...I’m pregnant."
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nX631Ojkl
The words hit like thunder.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7H8SRDSop
"I have the violin competition . My mom will kill me. I—I’m not ready for this. I don’t know what to do..."
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1mxGE38ci
She broke down, her body shaking as she collapsed into his arms. He held her tightly, stroking her hair.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vpQ3lwyx9
"It’s okay," he whispered. "I’m here. We’ll figure this out together."
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDMKv69BOD
She pulled back slightly, tears still falling.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70c2h0ehLP
"Will you come tomorrow? For the competition?"
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpQJFBjk6E
"Of course. I’ll be there."repled Akash.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXJbLZz5Eo
Competition Day
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWaSxiQpRNM
The auditorium was filled with applause.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZRJFHkVbs
Sanvi stood on stage, violin still trembling in her hands after a flawless performance. Her heart pounded — not from nerves, but from everything building inside her for weeks.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCU8orgjywM
“The winner of this year’s State Violin Championship,” the judge announced, “is... Sanvi Mehra!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoum7BRmr0
Cheers erupted. Her mother stood, pride written all over her face. For the first time in a long while, Sanvi smiled.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLtqS6fMTi
She stepped forward to receive the trophy—when a voice rang out.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPdFNVWk1T
“Wait.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMboIZkQ81e
Everyone turned.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWg6MtQisaS
Akash was walking down the aisle toward the stage.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7haI70tXE
Sanvi froze.
“Akash... what are you doing?” she said under her breath, panic rising.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dyRhVmk1c
He climbed onto the stage.
“The Dean’s daughter,” he said, looking out at the crowd, “isn’t as innocent as she looks.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH62TreJNIK
Gasps echoed around the hall. Sanvi’s mother stood up, face turning red.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEoBOIU6dH4
“Get off the stage right now!” she yelled.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3iFiIdqLb
Sanvi whispered, pleading. “Please stop, Akash. Go down. This isn’t the place...”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrMmf3dcYx
But he didn’t stop.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01bAGQzr6n
“She’s in love with a hooligan like me,” he said. “And she’s pregnant. With my child.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1gefH8s8I
The audience went silent — a crushing, stunned silence.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDAbekhvsq
Sanvi’s mother stumbled backward, gripping a chair for support. Her face went pale, and she collapsed to her knees. Teachers rushed to her side.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuH3M9sP84
The headmaster stepped up to the microphone, his face stern.
“Enough of this nonsense. Sanvi is a model student. She’s kind, disciplined, the top of her class. Who are you to slander her in front of everyone?”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAlQZdLa5H
Akash reached into his pocket and pulled out folded medical papers.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzZeVHuAkX
He threw them at the headmaster’s feet.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iuyQflEoW
“The father of her child,” he said, turning to Sanvi. “Isn’t that right?”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezlyWXOJpm
Sanvi’s face crumpled. Tears spilled down her cheeks as she fell to the floor, clutching the trophy like it could hold her together.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYN97TkGPSq
“Why?” she whispered. “Why are you doing this to me?”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw95dtBtFnJ
“Does she still deserve this trophy?” he asked the room.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMzwzHPiIY
Murmurs filled the crowd. Whispers. Judgment. Eyes.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOFT4P08Au
Sanvi’s world was spinning.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhIVKM3HWE
As Akash walked off the stage, Sanvi stood up, shaking with rage and heartbreak.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfLj0WpjDL
“I hate you, Akash!” she screamed. “I HATE YOU!”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMB2sb7VYB
But he didn’t turn back.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrNUXMjJkR
7 Years Later
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFROB2Qq8k
The bar was dimly lit, reeking of smoke and spilled alcohol. Music throbbed low in the background. A man slammed his bottle down on the counter and yelled at the waiter.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVFySYDQxX
"What the hell is this? What kind of taste is this?!"
Without warning, he smashed the bottle across the waiter's head. The bar fell into a stunned silence.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXbjWEUPFW
From the corner, a woman exhaled a slow stream of smoke. She wore a red-striped dress, her vibrant red hair falling over one shoulder. A cigarette hung from her lips.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWZJmfZEeN
She stood and walked forward, heels clicking sharply on the floor.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKLuwjI8ay
"Sorry, sir..." she said with a cold smirk. "If the taste doesn't suit you, maybe you should try something else."
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeh6buTcts
The man turned to face her. His expression shifted from anger to shock.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTJRRiCB2f
“Sanvi…?”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR70mW5LQAk
She blew out smoke and tilted her head. “Tell me, sirrr, what would you like to order? And please—don’t disturb my other customers.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTTUAJtXr2
“Sanvi, wait… where have you been? I’ve been looki—"
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycHHPwEXrn
She cut him off, her tone sharp. “Sir, order something or leave.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0pp7GSKer
Akash grabbed her hand gently, pulling her away to a quieter corner of the bar.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNh72g1mqu
“Why? Why did you become like this?” he asked, voice low, full of disbelief.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mw6EKeDuf
Sanvi laughed bitterly, her eyes tired.
“Why? You really don’t know?” She looked away. “All thanks to you.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijnveldabB
“I know,” he said quietly. “I shouldn’t have used you… I was wrong.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRKHE2Nzf8
“Oh… is that so?” she said, straightening her posture. “Well, apology not accepted.”
She stubbed out her cigarette, grabbed her tray, and turned. “I’ll get going.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIhOnKvjC7
She walked away without another word.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAlYllKnsC
Akash stood frozen.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1HoEBdxvQ
Sanvi entered the dim hospital room, heart heavy. Her mother sat on the bed, rocking slightly, eyes unfocused and distant. She looked fragile, trapped in a world of confusion.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vWqzMuJMA
“Mom…” Sanvi’s voice trembled as she took a step closer.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdorQo7wsdJ
Her mother suddenly flinched, pulling away and whispering, “Who… who are you?”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FTiCoGvCV
Sanvi swallowed hard, fighting back tears. “It’s me, Mom. Sanvi. Your daughter.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsSEsvyvz8
Her mother’s eyes darted around, unable to focus on her. “No… no… I don’t know you… Go away…”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IQ5GFy6rw
Tears streamed down Sanvi’s face. “I’m sorry. I’m so sorry for everything. For the pain, for the mistakes… I never meant to hurt you.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOwjmdXqff
Her mother shivered, covering her face with trembling hands. “Not her… not my daughter… please…”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7K2crG5R3Y
Sanvi reached out gently, but her mother recoiled, overwhelmed and lost.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdmDxHSYIa
Sanvi backed away slowly, heart breaking, tears falling silently as she left the room.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNIQDTCJjY
Akash quietly followed Sanvi to the hospital,He stepped forward hesitantly, reaching out an arm as if to comfort her,
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLh5J1A7qTJ
He froze, unable to close the distance.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiccHbioJyv
Sanvi looked up at him, eyes burning with pain and anger.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpxFCA6vX0
“Are you happy now?” she asked suddenly, voice raw. “Did you want to see me like this?
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXV5rpchJ8n
“No... I—” he began, but she cut him off.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWVZ53UIL1
“After everything, do you feel better?” she whispered. “Tell me. Are you happy?”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBbhm6VZyE
His hand dropped slowly, defeated.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvfU1IPmFI
“please don’t appear in front of me,” Sanvi said firmly, trying to back away.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHoDGl6tdT
But Akash grabbed her arm forcefully and dragged her inside his house. Without warning, he pushed her onto the bed.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZ89DTzpOX
“What more do you want from me?” she yelled, eyes burning with frustration and guilt.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsp9FdNTgY
Sanvi sat up, glaring. Akash pulled out his phone and showed her a photo.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXpaMcZluO
“You know who she is?” he asked harshly.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtpRdAEKiN
Sanvi looked closely at the picture
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Dp38B8xzz
“Our senior violinist,” she said quietly.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaROikLEjO
Akash’s voice cracked. “She was my sister. My only close relative. She committed suicide.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9Ke7ldxre
Sanvi’s eyes widened.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEyCMSBAvS
Akash continued, voice shaking, “And do you know who the last person she met was? Your mother.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUeVTWjVGq
“She jumped from the building… and it’s all because of your mother. But I never meant to hurt you, Sanvi. Actually... I’ve already liked you.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8byK1kdQg3
Sanvi smiled bitterly, eyes cold.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeim3M4K2VW
“Oh, is that so? Then get lost,” she shouted, voice sharp as a knife.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZXzNQjWbi
Akash sighed heavily, his voice soft but firm.
“Let’s just forget everything, okay?”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9n5YbT940A
He reached down and brought out a violin, holding it carefully.
“Look... don’t you like the violin? Take it. Play that.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXxTRcEQ8i
Sanvi’s mind flashed back to painful memories —
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVY8aROWnd
The hooligans teasing her cruelly in school, their sneers ringing in her ears,they jeered, shoving her books, mocking her every step.
Their words stung like knives, but the worst was their hands — pushing, grabbing, tearing at her dignity.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wMnN8LpQg
“Miss Violinist, don’t you like hooligans? How about me? Do you like it?” a mocking voice echoed.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxq9EFlLjk6
“Go away,” she had whispered, tears burning.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYZawLxZVu
“Stop acting innocent, I knew you were pregnant. It’s fine. Give me a child too.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jogiIJ4Pc
Suddenly, his hand slammed down hard, breaking her wrist.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw335jmjutP
Sanvi looked up, pain and fury flashing in her eyes.
“Thanks to you,” she spat, voice trembling but fierce, “I could never play the violin again.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrC5KLdxyd
Sanvi stormed out of Akash’s house, refusing to look back. Akash followed her, but every time she saw him, she turned away and rejected him.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhCUXqj785
One day, unable to let go, Akash followed her to the hospital. He wasn’t allowed to see Sanvi’s mother, so he stood outside her ward, feeling helpless.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡke8sUZDPYV
As he waited, the school principal approached him quietly.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLom1vUcXtV
“Are you related to them?” he asked cautiously.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdLFcRldm0
“No,” Akash replied, lowering his gaze.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0A3MiuqWw
“But I know her mother was the dean of the school. She was a great woman — always kind and respected. It’s hard to see her like this now.”--said principal
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKs7uYXd1oz
“Kind?” Akash scoffed bitterly.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuX7JwAZk7c
“Aren’t you the one from seven years ago?”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAAF9lWfw0
“I—yes, it’s me,” Akash admitted reluctantly.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7W0vql3cs
“Why do you keep involving yourself in their lives?” the principal asked, eyes narrowing.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjfunkvs2U
Akash hesitated, then said, “Do you remember Sanaya? She was a senior violinist too… she committed suicide. They say it was because of the dean.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnB7PkCQc6K
The principal’s face hardened. “Sanaya? Suicide because of the dean? That’s nonsense.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALVwNQqTB9
The principal sighed softly. “Sanaya was going through a very difficult time. There were rumors going around that she was living with a hooligan.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm83gynZ8wG
“She was sensitive and shy, and the gossip made it even harder for her.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutiX7MD2sB
“The dean, Sanvi’s mother, talked to her and asked her to explain to everyone that the boy was actually her brother — just to stop the rumors.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cbypojoXs
“But Sanaya struggled with all the pressure and the misunderstanding. She felt very alone and overwhelmed.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9rTJbeffl
“In the end, the weight of everything became too much for her, and she made a heartbreaking choice to end her life.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPV2tOTSkPB
Akash’s voice trembled, eyes wide with disbelief.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6isymzEPTU
“You mean… she died because of those rumors about the hooligan brother?”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksf8274lGD
He shook his head, struggling to grasp the truth.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85JDxAN4JQ
“Me? All these years, I was blaming others… while I was the actual reason.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTDMZXKYkH
Sanvi arrived after visiting her mother, surprised to see Akash waiting.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWPmcsPWo2
“Why are you here?” she asked, her voice cautious.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfNul0Enty
Without a word, Akash wrapped his arms around her and broke down crying.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAzQbEvg2z
“Sanvi… I’m sorry,” he choked out between tears. “I know I’m not qualified to ask this… but please, forgive me. Please.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfw0E4GX7r1
For a moment, Sanvi stood still, then gently pulled away.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEsvmSi8Dk
“I'll never forgive you,” she whispered, but turned and walked away, leaving him behind.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLafMdzuVo
Days later, Akash returned with a professional doctor to treat her broken wrist.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQNCtwzgiN
“Why are you doing this?” Sanvi asked quietly.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAStCsJ2E1L
“I don’t know if it’s guilt or something else,” Akash replied softly. “I just want you to play the violin again.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XLtkI3ruP
Sanvi looked at the doctor, then nodded slowly, accepting the treatment.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgObn1xGNu
A few days later:
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1co79dOpM3
Akash had arranged a beautiful ceremony space — lanterns hanging from trees, white roses everywhere, a small gathering of people waiting in anticipation.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBGJC2tJGR
Akash stepped forward, nervous but hopeful. He knelt down in front of Sanvi and opened the box.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyNdlOiaAj
“Sanvi,” he said gently, eyes filled with emotion, “will you marry me?”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8C7mPTAHBj
Sanvi stared at the ring.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKUmCGf6M6
She didn’t smile.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzrZOTgktO
She picked it up—then slowly let it fall to the ground.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKm1a0NbZ4
Gasps rippled through the crowd.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjOZgRWg3A
Akash stood, stunned.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OdN8C2EEl
You think this scene feels familiar--she asked bitterly.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NO7uGz6bD
“You think you’ll be forgiven just like that?” she asked, her voice soft but heavy with emotion.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWE5T3D6YoV
“I cried myself to sleep while you walked away.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BDUZVKbFn
“I lost my mother, my dreams, my innocence"
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84jwHnMmA5
Akash tried to speak, but she raised a hand to stop him.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSORKV3a1z
“I forgave you,” she whispered, “but not because I wanted to be with you — because I needed to let go of the weight you left on my soul.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywdEbAg4Iw
Then she stepped back.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySDh7t0EBW
“I don’t need a partner who remembers me after the storm. I need someone who would’ve stood with me in the rain.”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9bSVduIvW
Akash stood frozen, heart sinking as he watched her walk away.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQ4qSkZrz1
His voice cracked as he called out after her,
“So… you never wanted to be with me? Not even once?”
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4RD2RjCWy
Sanvi paused mid-step. She didn’t turn around.
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQ0rxmwush
Her voice was calm, cold, and unshaken.
“Never.”
