The next day, I was trying to distract myself from the heavy weight of yesterday's revelations by organizing some research notes when my phone buzzed. I glanced at the screen and saw Sofia's name. A sense of dread settled over me as I picked up the call.
"Hey, Sofia," I greeted, trying to keep my voice steady.
"Hezlin," she said, her voice trembling slightly. "I have some news, and it's... it's not easy to say."
My heart skipped a beat. "What is it???"
"It's Zade," she began, and I felt my stomach drop. "He's leaving... permanently!!!. He's moving to California."
For a moment, I couldn't speak. The words echoed in my mind, each one a sharp stab to my heart. "He's leavinggg??" I finally whispered, my voice cracking. "Why???"
"He thinks it's for the best," Sofia explained softly. "He's going to pursue his degree there with Liam."
I felt my heartache with an intensity I hadn't thought possible. Tears streamed down my face as I struggled to breathe. "Why didn't he tell me?" I managed to choke out.
"He didn't want to hurt you more than he already has," Sofia said gently. "He thought it would be easier this way."
Easierrr????? Nothing about this was easyyy. The pain was unbearable, the thought of Zade leaving, possibly forever, was too much to bear. I felt like I was drowning in sorrow, my chest tight with the weight of it all.
"Thanks for telling me, Sofia," I said, trying to keep my voice steady despite the tears. "I need to go."

I hung up and sat on my bed, clutching my pillow as sobs wracked my body. It felt like my heart was being torn apart, piece by piece. The man I loved, the man who had been a part of my soul, was leaving. The reality of it was suffocating. I know I wanted space but himm leavingggg mee even without telling me ..... made my heart ache.
Days passed in a blur of tears and pain. My grandma was recovering well, and she encouraged me to return to my studies, but my mind was a fog of heartbreak. My research had come to a standstill, and I hadn't been studying properly because of everything that had happened. But now, with Zade gone, I knew I had to find a way to move on. I needed to finish my doctorate and lead a normal life, just like others.
With a lot of determination, I finally decided to pick up the pieces and move on.
