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:
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGa7DIqhsdi
Sanvi returned from school, her shoulders slumped under the weight of her books and her mother's expectations.
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZqwPsN9sX
"Drink this," her mother said, handing her a glass of milk as soon as she stepped through the door.
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PYXpfeBml
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.
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vbrQ5CLes
The Next Morning
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcW3kTxtSi
While walking to school, Sanvi found herself surrounded by a group of boys — local hooligans .
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaaUfLcmt3
"Where are you off to, violin princess?" one sneered, stepping too close.
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0qbWRHK2r
Before she could react, a voice broke through the tension.
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghRbD4ocNN
"Back off."
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIy1wYsu5ap
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.
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPsoQM7ybi
He drove the others away, then turned to Sanvi. "Are you okay?"
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSp2Zcad57
She nodded, trembling slightly.
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHd5Lh2ZTq
He gently touched her arm, noticing a scratch. "You're bleeding."
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhRb1JuhwS
They sat by the roadside as he cleaned her wound using a handkerchief and water from his bottle.
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaLQXEpXEU
Over the next few days, they met again — by chance, or maybe not.
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZswqQrqmP
But in his company, Sanvi felt like she could breathe.
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ncKTKGCMK
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.
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeURcpQxaZA
"I... I should go," she whispered, standing up quickly.
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd51AY5jVY7
He blinked, surprised. "Oh... shit. Sorry."
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEukrCuipZ
Sanvi didn’t reply. She just walked away, her heart pounding, unsure if it was from fear, guilt — or something else entirely.
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRDgcfggfW
As soon as Sanvi stepped through the front door, her mother’s voice echoed through the hall.
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczaZGn7MN3
"Where were you?"
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIHERQ0jxs
Sanvi froze, her bag still on her shoulder.
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcO8BIc9ujL
"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."
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc39HzsaUw3
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?"
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pqYsMhTyc
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."
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ481tYyE1t5
The slap came without warning.
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BIYJT6ogU
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."
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZyJ57rtiW
Sanvi stood there, stunned, her cheek burning.
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBtifMeJTP
"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."
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZp6FTTpAD
She turned and walked toward her room, shoulders shaking.
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJQmhBA3H0
"I left your milk in your room," her mother called coldly.
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RzTYHxk7v
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.
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlaq5lv38W
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.
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCC8YRGqjv
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.
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAgltSsONr
She knocked on Akash’s door.
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNqhsZZdvN
The moment he opened it, she threw her arms around him and kissed him — deeply, desperately. There were no words, just breath and longing.
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyWOoKh4oH
They held each other tighter than ever, and this time, there was no hesitation.
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjfAkeMpA9
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.
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBdvlQe7te
She walked over, curious, her fingers brushing the strings. Then she began to play.
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aEMfkW0pd
Soft. Melancholy. Pure.
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2ge2K8FRb
"Stop..." Akash said from behind her, voice breaking..But he stood frozen ..it's beautiful
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrVNXLgGaL
Two Weeks Later
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdTCNvKUvE
Their world had become a secret bubble — quiet mornings, soft music, hidden glances in the school hallway.
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQI0jiMGk5x
But one day, Sanvi burst into Akash’s place, eyes red, face pale.
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVphE8YosX
"Akash..." she gasped, panicked. "...I’m pregnant."
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEElmab62NU
The words hit like thunder.
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbS9KxZZNsS
"I have the violin competition . My mom will kill me. I—I’m not ready for this. I don’t know what to do..."
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIosgkQWNVZ
She broke down, her body shaking as she collapsed into his arms. He held her tightly, stroking her hair.
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8X0TZrNPJA
"It’s okay," he whispered. "I’m here. We’ll figure this out together."
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdic1tSlJh1
She pulled back slightly, tears still falling.
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFGL4udV6F
"Will you come tomorrow? For the competition?"
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyVaLRGqbv
"Of course. I’ll be there."repled Akash.
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXHqhPK4GT
Competition Day
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgFwuqu2Uu
The auditorium was filled with applause.
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTifwBdLE3
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.
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyngq3mzeB
“The winner of this year’s State Violin Championship,” the judge announced, “is... Sanvi Mehra!”
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfTMf57xUf
Cheers erupted. Her mother stood, pride written all over her face. For the first time in a long while, Sanvi smiled.
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JQ3VTf3gI
She stepped forward to receive the trophy—when a voice rang out.
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKgZg4FsGU
“Wait.”
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0fUylDMkF
Everyone turned.
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0xtahXBbS
Akash was walking down the aisle toward the stage.
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMO8fUeHafN
Sanvi froze.
“Akash... what are you doing?” she said under her breath, panic rising.
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFOKS7wFjr
He climbed onto the stage.
“The Dean’s daughter,” he said, looking out at the crowd, “isn’t as innocent as she looks.”
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVfK4TXBES
Gasps echoed around the hall. Sanvi’s mother stood up, face turning red.
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gBjR8XhG8
“Get off the stage right now!” she yelled.
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XCOTOY8RA
Sanvi whispered, pleading. “Please stop, Akash. Go down. This isn’t the place...”
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNrrgZlCfS
But he didn’t stop.
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvh01qJdVd
“She’s in love with a hooligan like me,” he said. “And she’s pregnant. With my child.”
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgjJbmexyp
The audience went silent — a crushing, stunned silence.
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCM2lnaOQC
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.
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtrqQi6eic
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?”
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YHCxrxYMw
Akash reached into his pocket and pulled out folded medical papers.
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyJbAtf4Xf
He threw them at the headmaster’s feet.
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3yyqJOMnp
“The father of her child,” he said, turning to Sanvi. “Isn’t that right?”
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6n5CwP94L0
Sanvi’s face crumpled. Tears spilled down her cheeks as she fell to the floor, clutching the trophy like it could hold her together.
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2L3E3b6a1C
“Why?” she whispered. “Why are you doing this to me?”
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinNBUTub3T
“Does she still deserve this trophy?” he asked the room.
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEtQRXkMC8
Murmurs filled the crowd. Whispers. Judgment. Eyes.
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzO5btjuVy
Sanvi’s world was spinning.
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHR8k2W4g4
As Akash walked off the stage, Sanvi stood up, shaking with rage and heartbreak.
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhomuVws1Nx
“I hate you, Akash!” she screamed. “I HATE YOU!”
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTiiYLqmsr
But he didn’t turn back.
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZADXaOl9E
7 Years Later
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpjmTqUgHv
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.
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsdAJxdaZ9
"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.
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4fnsEDrLV
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.
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonmptquunk
She stood and walked forward, heels clicking sharply on the floor.
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvLkUMGkSB
"Sorry, sir..." she said with a cold smirk. "If the taste doesn't suit you, maybe you should try something else."
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsf3uukTrkr
The man turned to face her. His expression shifted from anger to shock.
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUU0K7LOKyI
“Sanvi…?”
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgYdtZM2hu
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.”
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPq7u82Ohv
“Sanvi, wait… where have you been? I’ve been looki—"
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMjpq1Bx5N
She cut him off, her tone sharp. “Sir, order something or leave.”
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflRsktskRK
Akash grabbed her hand gently, pulling her away to a quieter corner of the bar.
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ050VuyOArk
“Why? Why did you become like this?” he asked, voice low, full of disbelief.
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0slTlxKCg
Sanvi laughed bitterly, her eyes tired.
“Why? You really don’t know?” She looked away. “All thanks to you.”
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtirTRlzcis
“I know,” he said quietly. “I shouldn’t have used you… I was wrong.”
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGis6dFkPCT
“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.”
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelsYFyFZRu
She walked away without another word.
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxHQw9GuWP
Akash stood frozen.
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcmGNEqvLe
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.
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuavkQC4zL
“Mom…” Sanvi’s voice trembled as she took a step closer.
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nTuhdniF5
Her mother suddenly flinched, pulling away and whispering, “Who… who are you?”
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujPI1q35q4
Sanvi swallowed hard, fighting back tears. “It’s me, Mom. Sanvi. Your daughter.”
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsXf1MGzd0
Her mother’s eyes darted around, unable to focus on her. “No… no… I don’t know you… Go away…”
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbHhhff87B
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.”
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqnHPIFI0L
Her mother shivered, covering her face with trembling hands. “Not her… not my daughter… please…”
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VBQ2hN903
Sanvi reached out gently, but her mother recoiled, overwhelmed and lost.
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfVRK506gq
Sanvi backed away slowly, heart breaking, tears falling silently as she left the room.
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipFNmVht89
Akash quietly followed Sanvi to the hospital,He stepped forward hesitantly, reaching out an arm as if to comfort her,
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBwxraPy6z
He froze, unable to close the distance.
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNk12hRec4
Sanvi looked up at him, eyes burning with pain and anger.
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKnPHfi7O2
“Are you happy now?” she asked suddenly, voice raw. “Did you want to see me like this?
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DjWjdPY4p
“No... I—” he began, but she cut him off.
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCkNpu7boU
“After everything, do you feel better?” she whispered. “Tell me. Are you happy?”
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5C89Y7uF86
His hand dropped slowly, defeated.
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwwWMSvOJS
“please don’t appear in front of me,” Sanvi said firmly, trying to back away.
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gZCbf2zPS
But Akash grabbed her arm forcefully and dragged her inside his house. Without warning, he pushed her onto the bed.
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21md26AQhY
“What more do you want from me?” she yelled, eyes burning with frustration and guilt.
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyiGIhBn2jd
Sanvi sat up, glaring. Akash pulled out his phone and showed her a photo.
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigFV2YqsKG
“You know who she is?” he asked harshly.
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCP3j0dujp
Sanvi looked closely at the picture
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMgRGnBA46
“Our senior violinist,” she said quietly.
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3Cc6eOFor
Akash’s voice cracked. “She was my sister. My only close relative. She committed suicide.”
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYAApwbm3P
Sanvi’s eyes widened.
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpXfJrHb5H
Akash continued, voice shaking, “And do you know who the last person she met was? Your mother.”
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVKQCX8Ydy
“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.”
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3YXTODbjC
Sanvi smiled bitterly, eyes cold.
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMtIkCYFJL
“Oh, is that so? Then get lost,” she shouted, voice sharp as a knife.
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEyyzsSwRh
Akash sighed heavily, his voice soft but firm.
“Let’s just forget everything, okay?”
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbOQcfMehl
He reached down and brought out a violin, holding it carefully.
“Look... don’t you like the violin? Take it. Play that.”
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSKeGSudaR
Sanvi’s mind flashed back to painful memories —
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfD8AWp1ufn
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.
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiJnTlWG2s
“Miss Violinist, don’t you like hooligans? How about me? Do you like it?” a mocking voice echoed.
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVdZIGMe8m
“Go away,” she had whispered, tears burning.
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaupZqI6wk5
“Stop acting innocent, I knew you were pregnant. It’s fine. Give me a child too.”
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnctzxwX9i
Suddenly, his hand slammed down hard, breaking her wrist.
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQzKSZGJL1
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.”
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCb3oQTrjm
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.
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37QBSzTXXH
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.
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vHBGZLghU
As he waited, the school principal approached him quietly.
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzzMPYljCU
“Are you related to them?” he asked cautiously.
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4E34KGFr7
“No,” Akash replied, lowering his gaze.
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtr1CpMUqqM
“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
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINUqJXL9Yt
“Kind?” Akash scoffed bitterly.
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlL1aLcnm9f
“Aren’t you the one from seven years ago?”
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFvqklxxF6
“I—yes, it’s me,” Akash admitted reluctantly.
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sYyFyUeCc
“Why do you keep involving yourself in their lives?” the principal asked, eyes narrowing.
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03IDYGWhea
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.”
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIiw3mbXLJ
The principal’s face hardened. “Sanaya? Suicide because of the dean? That’s nonsense.”
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCBpapZPsO
The principal sighed softly. “Sanaya was going through a very difficult time. There were rumors going around that she was living with a hooligan.”
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWglEEgSm8c
“She was sensitive and shy, and the gossip made it even harder for her.”
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ574zl2ONy
“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.”
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3aSLnS1bAI
“But Sanaya struggled with all the pressure and the misunderstanding. She felt very alone and overwhelmed.”
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ548DaMsmpT
“In the end, the weight of everything became too much for her, and she made a heartbreaking choice to end her life.”
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqQPID2Okt
Akash’s voice trembled, eyes wide with disbelief.
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2PQxIBNR6
“You mean… she died because of those rumors about the hooligan brother?”
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNOe3Aj7iW
He shook his head, struggling to grasp the truth.
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkxmyDoT7l
“Me? All these years, I was blaming others… while I was the actual reason.”
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIABe3UUyP0
Sanvi arrived after visiting her mother, surprised to see Akash waiting.
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NDffiDwqH
“Why are you here?” she asked, her voice cautious.
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBWdlCYSC7
Without a word, Akash wrapped his arms around her and broke down crying.
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQu632Ja3qj
“Sanvi… I’m sorry,” he choked out between tears. “I know I’m not qualified to ask this… but please, forgive me. Please.”
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtMzuBYxYI
For a moment, Sanvi stood still, then gently pulled away.
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiqlV14Ym6
“I'll never forgive you,” she whispered, but turned and walked away, leaving him behind.
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3VXW7GEMI
Days later, Akash returned with a professional doctor to treat her broken wrist.
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBh0re4Jso
“Why are you doing this?” Sanvi asked quietly.
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOJ2DuTljd
“I don’t know if it’s guilt or something else,” Akash replied softly. “I just want you to play the violin again.”
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8z8Aj9cii
Sanvi looked at the doctor, then nodded slowly, accepting the treatment.
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYoycrxMkf
A few days later:
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtgm0CSVnp
Akash had arranged a beautiful ceremony space — lanterns hanging from trees, white roses everywhere, a small gathering of people waiting in anticipation.
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Mab4QZXxG
Akash stepped forward, nervous but hopeful. He knelt down in front of Sanvi and opened the box.
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzeWLCmjgs
“Sanvi,” he said gently, eyes filled with emotion, “will you marry me?”
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJEwBQdySr
Sanvi stared at the ring.
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1cEEbBeGL
She didn’t smile.
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXm81FFf1Y3
She picked it up—then slowly let it fall to the ground.
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPVrmHIqep
Gasps rippled through the crowd.
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBaLyz1T79y
Akash stood, stunned.
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pU8EeNMub
You think this scene feels familiar--she asked bitterly.
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUv7FNknvQA
“You think you’ll be forgiven just like that?” she asked, her voice soft but heavy with emotion.
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6lGQGrTiy
“I cried myself to sleep while you walked away.”
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTRPTx7WBq
“I lost my mother, my dreams, my innocence"
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgaZppXocg
Akash tried to speak, but she raised a hand to stop him.
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdK3onZrVZY
“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.”
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCwUCZuwbF
Then she stepped back.
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNti3iFwhq
“I don’t need a partner who remembers me after the storm. I need someone who would’ve stood with me in the rain.”
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJ9aEcDWCY
Akash stood frozen, heart sinking as he watched her walk away.
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyaM1peQ3Y
His voice cracked as he called out after her,
“So… you never wanted to be with me? Not even once?”
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqGAEMaICd
Sanvi paused mid-step. She didn’t turn around.
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38iCPsaW5n
Her voice was calm, cold, and unshaken.
“Never.”
512Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KNJLTfvCd
Then she walked away — her back straight, her silence louder than any goodbye — leaving Akash standing in the glow of lights.
