Pain,

Regret,

Betrayal.

Shivalika was feeling the flood of emotions hovering over her. The pain of losing the people she admired the most, More than her parents. Regret for ignoring them when they literally begged them to talk to them just for once, She still remembered how Aditya's Mom used to call her 10 times in a day but ended up getting blocked. Betrayal from her family for hurting her.

She was not angry with them, she was hurt. She was furious with herself. Whatever she is facing now is because of her. Her Past was brutal. And Now she could see her present getting worse. Eight years were not easy for her. She has dealt with trauma, mental breakdown, and depression but she fought with them and won, But this time It was Regret that was killing her. She was already guilty of not telling Aditya the Truth he deserved to know and Now this... Now, She can understand his behaviour when she mentioned about his parents when the met here in the hotel.

You can bear anything but the Regret, Regret is a heavy burden, one that lingers far longer than the pain of any other experience. You can endure hardships, overcome obstacles, and bear the weight of loss, but regret is different. It gnaws at you, reminding you of what could have been, what you should have done, or what you failed to do. Unlike physical pain, which fades over time, regret stays with you, haunting your thoughts and coloring your memories forever.

You can bear anything... disappointment, failure, heartbreak. but regret is the one thing you can't even forget . It's a reminder of you past deeds. Because in the end, it's not the pain of what we've done that haunts us, but the sorrow of what we left undone.

She have decided to meet Aditya, She can't bear this pain anymore. She wants to go and Hug him tightly. She wants to apologise for everything. She wants to tell him everything. Was Shy Pitying him? No! She was Pitying herself, She was Pitying her fate. She loses every person who is close to her heart. First her Best friend who was the reason for her and Aditya's meet. then Aditya, and then his parents.

On The other side, In the morning, the house was filled with the soft murmur of prayers. The family and a few special guests had gathered in the main hall, their heads bowed in reverence. It was a rare moment of unity, where even the usual undercurrents of tension seemed to have momentarily stilled. Aditya stood at the front, his hands folded in respect, his gaze fixed on the floor, though his thoughts were far from the present.

As the priest chanted, the sacred words echoed through the hall, creating a atmosphere that contrasted sharply with the turmoil inside Aditya. His mind drifted back to memories of his parents, the warmth of their love, the guidance they had provided, and the void their absence had left in his life. He maybe less expressive but it wouldn't be enough even if he expressed his love for his Parents. He could almost hear his mother's gentle voice, see his father's reassuring smile, feel the comfort of their presence. But now, standing there alone, he felt the weight of their loss more than ever.

Despite the people around him, despite the rituals being performed, Aditya felt an overwhelming sense of loneliness. It wasn't just the absence of his parents that haunted him—it was the realization that, in many ways, he was isolated even among his own Parents. There was a regret in his heart for this.
