Ye soch kar chhor aaya hun'n usko jaun,
Wo itni pyaari hai ki mere saath buri lagegi ...

The clock on the mantelpiece ticked relentlessly, its steady rhythm punctuating the tense silence in the living room.

Outside, the last rays of the setting sun painted the sky in hues of orange and pink, casting long shadows that stretched across the floor.

Ruhanika sat on the edge of the sofa, her fingers nervously tracing the embroidered pattern of her dress. She had rehearsed the words a hundred times in her mind, preparing herself for this moment of reckoning.

Today, she would finally lay bare her heart to the man she loved.

Across from her, Ranvijay remained stoic, his face a mask of unreadable emotions. In his hands, he held a crisp envelope—the contents of which would change their lives forever.

"Mujhe tumse kuch kehna hai," Ruhanika began hesitantly, her voice barely above a whisper.

She watched as Ranvijay's eyes flickered towards her, briefly acknowledging her presence.

But before she could continue, Ranvijay interrupted with a calmness that belied the turmoil within him. "Ruhanika, there's something I need to give you before you say something." His voice was steady, devoid of the warmth and tenderness she had once known so well.

Confusion clouded Ruhanika's face as she watched him slide the envelope across the dining table towards her. With trembling hands, she took it, her heart sinking as she recognized the official seal embossed on its corner.

"Ye kya hai?" she asked, her voice trembling with a mixture of fear and disbelief. Her fingers fumbled as she tore open the envelope, withdrawing the documents that would dissolve the very foundation of their unexpected marriage.

Ranvijay's gaze remained fixed on her face, his expression unreadable as he watched her read the words that spelled out their upcoming separation.

The weight of his decision hung heavy in the air, suffocating the fragile hope that had blossomed in Ruhanika's heart for their marriage.

Tears welled up in Ruhanika's eyes as she looked up at him, her voice cracking with emotion. "Ranvijay, You are kidding right?! Tum mazak kar rahe ho na? she asked hesitantly.

But Ranvijay remained resolute, his jaw clenched with a determination but what he said next shattered her heart. " Tum itna shock kyu ho rahi ho Ruh? You do know that our marriage was just for the sake of appearance. Well never mind, just sign the papers and you can leave the house tomorrow morning.

And with those final words, he turned away to leave but Ruhanika's next sentence stopped him...

Ranvijay... Aaj ke baad mujhe apni shakal mat dikhana... Tumahari Ruh Aaj se mar gyi hai tumhare liye.

Ruhanika replied harshly.

love that slipped through her fingers in the cruel hands of timing and fate.

As dusk descended upon their once-happy home, Ruhanika crumpled the divorce papers in her hands, the ink blurred by tears that blurred the lines between love and loss.
