Sara quickly composed herself from what had just happened and got into her car, driving to Shub's apartment. Upon arrival, she found the main door unlocked. Entering, she saw Shub sitting on the sofa with his head down and hands on his forehead.
Approaching Shub, Sara called out, "Shub," placing her hand on his shoulder.
Shub looked up, his eyes were red from crying. Sara knelt before him, cupping his face. Without a word from Shub, Sara understood his anger, pain, and disbelief just by looking into his red eyes.
Sara: "Baby, don't cry. You know I can't bear to see you like this."
Shub (jerking her hands away): "What's left for me except these tears after all the pain you and your family have caused me, Miss Sara Tendulkar?"
Sara (holding Shub's hands): "Baby, please don't speak like this. Give me five minutes, I'll explain everything."
Shub: "There's nothing left to explain, Sara. I've understood everything. Yes, it hurts, hurts so much. But now I have to accept that you're not just any ordinary girl, you're THE GOD OF CRICKET Sachin Tendulkar's daughter, Sara Tendulkar. That's what your father said, right?"
Sara: "No, baby, I'm not just any ordinary girl, but I'm not only Sachin Tendulkar's daughter, Sara Tendulkar; I'm also my prince Shub's Sara. Why can't you understand that?"
Shub: "Sara, don't try to deceive me with these sweet words. You've been doing this for years, and I, like a fool, believed in you and your love. But today, my eyes are open, and now I feel like a clown, realizing that I'm the only one serious in this relationship."
Hearing Shub's accusations, Sara's heart shattered. She withdrew her hands in disbelief.
Sara: "Shub, I can't believe you're talking about me like this. What do you mean, you're the only one serious in this relationship? Don't you know how much I love you, how obsessed and addicted I am to you? Like you said, I'm Sachin Tendulkar's daughter. If I wanted to, I could date any famous personality in India, but I chose to be head over heels for a 19-year-old cricketer whom barely anyone knows. And now, at 24, I'm still head over heels for you, still obsessed."
Shub: "Oh, so you've shown mercy on me by dating me when barely anyone knows me. Well, I don't need your love, I mean your mercy."
Sara: "Shub, I don't mean that. I'm just trying to say that my love for you is real and it has never changed."
Shub: "But I don't have any love left for you in my heart. It's over, Sara. From now on, there's nothing between us. Please just leave."
Hearing this, Sara felt like her world had collapsed. She tried to say something, but Shubman shouted again, "Sara, just leave. If you don't leave now, I don't know what I'll do to myself."
Trying to meet Shubman's eyes, Sara watched as he got up and went into his room, slamming the door in her face.
It was too much for Sara to handle. While she loved Shubman with all her heart, it didn't mean her love should cost her this humiliation, especially when she was trying her best to make things right. Disheartened, Sara left Shub's apartment and went to a place that was very special to both her and Shubman.
Tears streamed down Sara's rosy cheeks. Her vision blurred from the tears as every moment she had spent with Shubman replayed in her mind.
To Be Continued...
Precap: My eyes widened in awe. A rush of enchantment swept through me, captivating my senses. In that moment, I felt as if I had stepped into a fairytale. I can't believe it—I saw a prince!
