Alone in the dimly lit room, Sidhu sits in silence, his thoughts consumed by memories of happier times. The weight of sadness hangs heavy in the air, casting a somber shadow over his usually cheerful demeanor.
As he stares blankly at the flickering candle on the table before him, lost in the depths of his grief, a gentle knock at the door interrupts him.
Startled out, Sidhu rises from his seat and makes his way to the door, his heart heavy with the weight of unspoken sorrow.
Opening the door, he is greeted by the sight of Krithi,
"Hey, Sidhu. I was in the neighborhood and thought I'd drop by. Is everything okay?" Krithi asks, her voice filled with genuine concern as she steps inside.
Sidhu forces a smile, attempting to mask the turmoil brewing within him. "Hey, Krithi. Yeah, everything's fine," he replies, his voice strained with emotion.
Krithi studies him for a moment, her keen gaze seeing through the facade he tries to maintain. "You don't seem fine, Sidhu.
Is there something on your mind? You know you can always talk to me," she says gently, placing a comforting hand on his shoulder.
Sidhu's resolve crumbles at her words, his emotions bubbling to the surface like a dam breaking loose. With a heavy sigh, he sinks into a nearby chair, his eyes brimming with unshed tears.
"It's Sara," he begins, his voice trembling with emotion as he recounts the story of their love. "We were... we were so happy together, Krithi. She was my everything, my reason for living."
As Sidhu speaks, memories of Sara flood his mind like a tidal wave, each moment etched into his heart with indelible clarity.
"I remember the first time we met," he continues, a wistful smile gracing his lips. "She walked into the room, and it was like time stood still. From that moment on, I knew she was the one."
Krithi listens intently, her heart aching for her friend as he lays bare the depths of his love for Sara.
Sidhu's voice trembles with emotion as he recounts the countless moments they shared together, from their first date to their wedding day. Each memory is a bittersweet reminder of the love they once shared, a love that still burns brightly in his heart.

It was a crisp morning, the sun's golden rays streaming through the curtains as Sidhu and Sara lay entwined in each other's arms, the world outside fading away as they basked in the warmth of their love.
"Sara, wake up, sleepyhead," Sidhu whispered, pressing a gentle kiss to her forehead.
Sara stirred, her eyes fluttering open as she greeted him with a soft smile. "Good morning, my love," she murmured, her voice filled with warmth and affection.
With a contented sigh, Sidhu wrapped her in a tight embrace, savoring the feeling of her in his arms. "I could stay like this forever," he whispered, pressing another kiss to her cheek.
Sara chuckled, her laughter like music to his ears. "As much as I love cuddling with you, we have a busy day ahead," she teased, gently extricating herself from his embrace.
Sidhu pouted playfully, watching as Sara made her way to the kitchen to prepare breakfast. The sound of her humming filled the air, a sweet melody that warmed his heart and filled him with joy.
Joining her in the kitchen, Sidhu wrapped his arms around her waist, resting his chin on her shoulder as they worked together to prepare a simple yet delicious meal.
"Remember our first date?" Sidhu asked, his voice tinged with nostalgia as he recalled the memories of that magical evening.
Sara smiled, her eyes sparkling with fondness as she turned to face him. "How could I forget? You were so nervous, it was adorable," she teased, placing a gentle kiss on his lips.
