_____________
THIRD PERSON

AT HAVELI -

Abhay's words echoed loudly in Maya's mind - "Some nights were left incomplete. It's time to finish them."

Just then, Maya felt Abhay's deep breaths on her neck, a clear sign of how close he had come. Suddenly, Abhay grabbed Maya's waist, spun her around, and pulled her against his chest. Maya's hands landed on his shoulders, and she gazed at him through her tear-filled eyes.

A tear rolled down Maya's cheek, and seeing this, a smile crept across Abhay's lips. He placed his hand on her face, wiping her tears with his thumb, and said, "These tears are going to be your fate. Pain will be inflicted upon you until these tears dry up."

With that, Abhay suddenly pushed Maya away from him, making her fall to the ground, her anklet bells ringing loudly across the courtyard. Maya's heart was filled with pain, immense pain, but she had never begged for forgiveness from Abhay because she knew she couldn't utter a single word, nor would she receive any pardon.

She started sobbing, and as Abhay approached her, circling her as she lay on the ground, he said, "Tonight will be a night of doom. The ruin of my love is about to unfold"

Saying this, Abhay opened a bottle of alcohol from the counter and took a swig. His eyes, filled with hatred and intoxication, were fixed on Maya, and he laughed like a cruel tyrant.

"Tonight is going to be beautiful, right? Don't you agree?" Abhay said as he approached her. He held the bottle in one hand and grabbed Maya's hair with the other, pulling her up brutally, saying, "Aaj yeh tawaayaf mere liye Naachegi."

With that, he roughly released her hair, and she took the bottle to her lips. He then moved towards the music system, picked up the remote, and, after a moment's thought, walked back to Maya, handing her the remote, and said, "Which tune would you like to dance to, you unfaithful woman?"

Maya's heart was shattered into pieces. She took a deep breath, glanced at Abhay with eyes filled with pain and disgrace, and firmly grabbed the remote, wiping her tears away.

Seeing her demeanor, Abhay smiled and, like a king, went to sit on a large cushion nearby.

Moments later, the sound of a song filled the air.....

|Song - Tabah Ho Gaye|

Di nahi dua bhale, Na di kabhi baddua
Na khafa huey na hum, Huey kabhi bewafa

Tears poured down Maya's face, each one a testament to her anguish, as she shattered her dignity before the one she loved. This was the love for whom her very heartbeat existed, and now, she felt less than the dust beneath his feet.

Tum magar bewafa ho gaye, Kyun khafa ho gaye
Ke tumse juda hoke hum, Tabaah ho gaye

Maya's heartache overflowed like an uncontainable flood. Each tear carried the weight of her shattered dreams and unspoken fears. Today, when she needed Abhay's shoulder to lean on and his comforting arms to shield her from the world, it was his words that cut through her like knives.

His cruel remarks, sharp and merciless, left her feeling small and worthless. She could barely lift her eyes to meet his gaze, the humiliation burning through her like acid. The man she once trusted with her deepest vulnerabilities now stood as the source of her deepest pain.
