Prithvi stepped out of the room, Tara's words echoing in his mind like a haunting refrain. The weight of her accusation bore down on him, each syllable a dagger piercing his heart.

He struggled to maintain his composure, to suppress the flood of emotions threatening to overwhelm him.

His throat constricted with the effort of holding back the tears that threatened to spill over. He leaned heavily against the nearby pillar, his body trembling with the weight of his anguish.

Every fiber of his being ached with the pain of Tara's betrayal, the depth of her accusation cutting him to the core.

In that moment of vulnerability, Prithvi felt utterly alone, the weight of his burden crushing him beneath its suffocating embrace.

He closed his eyes, willing himself to find the strength to endure, to face the harsh reality that now lay before him. But deep down, he knew that the wounds inflicted by Tara's words would not easily heal, leaving him adrift in a sea of doubt and despair.

Prithvi stood on the terrace, the cool night air enveloping him as he gazed up at the moon, its soft glow casting a tranquil light over the surroundings.

But amidst the serenity of the night, his mind was plagued by memories of the past, haunting echoes of a time he wished he could forget.

He closed his eyes, trying to shut out the memories that threatened to overwhelm him. Yet, like specters emerging from the darkness, they persisted, relentless in their pursuit of his peace.

It was a moment etched in his mind, a memory he couldn't shake no matter how hard he tried. The pain of it cut deep, a wound that refused to heal even after all these years.

With a heavy heart, Prithvi leaned against the railing, his body weighed down by the burden of his past.

In the stillness of the night, he allowed himself to remember, to confront the ghosts that haunted him, hoping that somehow, by facing them head-on, he could find the closure he so desperately sought.
