As Lavanya cautiously stepped into their bedroom that night, she felt a heavy sadness in her chest. Varun didn't even glance her way, his back turned as he sat at his desk, absorbed in his own world. She tried talking to him, but he stayed quiet, making her feel ignored and hurt.

Feeling lonely, Lavanya quietly got ready for bed, her heart weighed down by disappointment. As she lay on her side of the bed, she couldn't shake off the deep sadness at how distant they had become. It felt like the love and warmth they once shared had vanished, leaving behind only emptiness.

Throughout the night, they slept without a word, lost in their own thoughts. Even though Lavanya felt guilty for not speaking up, she couldn't bring herself to do it. She was scared of facing more rejection from Varun. As they lay side by side, the silence around them made the gap in their marriage feel even wider, leaving Lavanya feeling more isolated than ever before.
