Prologue

Scene-1

The rain poured down relentlessly, mirroring the turmoil in Ekaansh's heart as he chased after Aarushi.

She walked ahead, her shoulders slumped, each step taking her further away from him.

"Ruh, please!" he cried out, his voice cracking with desperation.

"Don't do this. Don't leave me!"

Aarushi stopped but didn't turn around. Her fists clenched at her sides, knuckles white.

"I have to, Aksh," she replied, her voice barely a whisper above the pattering rain.

"We both knew this day would come."

Ekaansh caught up to her, grasping her arm and turning her to face him. His eyes, brimming with tears, searched her face.

"But why now? We can work this out. We always have!"

She looked up at him, her own eyes glistening. The raindrops mingled with her tears, streaming down her cheeks.

"No, not this time. I can't keep living a lie, Aksh. It's killing me inside."

"A lie?" he echoed, his face contorting in pain.

"Was everything we shared a lie to you? The laughter, the dreams, the promises?"

Aarushi shook her head vehemently.

"No, never! But the truth is......" But she stopped in between

Ekaansh's grip on her arm loosened.

"I'll come with you," he whispered.

"Wherever you want to go, I'll follow."

She cupped his face, a sad smile tugging at her lips.

"You know you can't. I won't let you sacrifice your dreams for me."

"But you're my dream, Ruh!" Ekaansh cried out, his voice echoing in the empty street.

"Without you, none of it matters!"

Aarushi took a step back, her hand falling away.

"I'm sorry, Aksh. I truly am. But I have to do this. For myself." She turned away, her steps quickening.

Ekaansh fell to his knees, his body wracked with sobs.

"Ruh!" he called out one last time.

"Please... don't go!"

But she didn't look back. Her figure faded into the curtain of rain, leaving Ekaansh alone with his shattered heart.

Scene-2

"We're getting married"

The words struck Aarushi like a thunderbolt. She stood frozen, watching Ekaansh's arm possessively around Akansha's waist.

His eyes, once filled with love for her, now seemed emotionless. Aarushi's heart shattered into a million pieces.

"Congratulations," she managed to whisper, her voice trembling.

A single tear rolled down her cheek, then another. She quickly wiped them away, not wanting to spoil their moment.

Scene-3

"What are you doing?" I whispered, my heart racing as he leaned in closer.

"What am I doing?" He asked innocently, his warm breath caressing my cheek.

His face was just an inch away from mine, his hazel eyes searching mine with an intensity that made my knees weak.

"Aksh, we... we shouldn't," I stammered, trying to back away, but my body betrayed me, yearning for his touch.

He cupped my face gently.

"Tell me to stop, Ruh" he murmured, his voice low and husky.

"Tell me you don't want this."

I opened my mouth to protest, but no words came. Instead, I found myself pulling him closer.

"I can't," I breathed.

And then his lips met mine, and the world faded away.
