"In the night sky, you shine so bright,
A moonlit glow, a breathtaking sight.
Your smile reflects the silver glow,
A radiant beauty, with warmth that flows.
Like the moon, you dance in dreams,
Casting spells with your soft, gentle beams.
In your presence, my heart finds its tune,
Forever enchanted by you, my moon."
Kabir
Kabir sat alone in the darkness of his room, the heavy weight of devastation pressing down on him like a suffocating blanket. The soft glow of the moon filtered through the window, casting eerie shadows across the walls as he tried to come to terms with the bitter reality of the evening. It was the 5th anniversary of Danish and Arohi, and they were celebrating in a luxurious hotel, their laughter echoing in his ears like a cruel taunt.
Arohi, the woman he had fallen deeply for, was spending the night with Danish, a fact that tore at Kabir's heart with a pang of sadness that refused to be silenced. His mind flashed back to the first time he had laid eyes on her, her smile like a beacon of light in his dark world. Little did she know the depth of his feelings, the silent yearning that he harbored for her.
Their paths had crossed through Danish, a mutual friend who had unknowingly become the wedge driving them apart. Arohi was oblivious to Kabir's emotions, unaware of the impact she had on him. What she didn't realize was that Kabir had actually met her before Danish introduced them at a party, a chance encounter etched into his memory like a precious gem.
Confiding in Danish about his feelings had been Kabir's fatal mistake. Danish, ever the opportunist, had seized the moment and swiftly made Arohi his girlfriend, using her as a pawn in his twisted game of jealousy. Kabir's shattered heart sank lower as he realized that Danish saw Arohi as nothing more than a means to an end, a tool to stoke the flames of competition between them.
The thought of Arohi's innocence being manipulated by Danish ignited a storm of rage and envy within Kabir. Yet, the fear of hurting her by revealing Danish's true intentions kept him paralyzed, trapped in a web of conflicting emotions that tore at his soul, leaving him feeling helpless and lost in the shadows of his own heart.
With a heavy heart, Kabir decided to seek solace in the warmth of his family downstairs. His mother's eyes held a mixture of worry and love as she gazed upon her son, sensing the unspoken turmoil brewing within him. Despite the comforting embrace of his family, Kabir found himself unable to shake off the weight of emotions that tethered him to thoughts of Arohi and Danish.
As if the universe conspired to further entangle Kabir in the web of emotions, his phone vibrated with Danish's name flashing on the screen. Bracing himself for the impending conversation, Kabir answered the call, the sound of Danish's voice cutting through the silence of the room.
"Hey bro, how are you?" Danish's voice sounded casual, almost too casual for the turmoil raging within Kabir's soul.
"Happy anniversary," he managed to say, the words carrying a weight he couldn't shake off.
"Thanks, man. Well, Arohi was looking divine today. You should have seen her," he continued, his words a dagger piercing Kabir's heart.
The plea in Kabir's voice held a depth of emotion that Danish failed to comprehend.
"Danish, please don't hurt her. She is innocent and loves you," Kabir's words hung in the air, heavy with unspoken truths and unfulfilled desires.
"Come on, man. I'm not hurting her. She's a nice girl, and I think I love her too," Danish's response dripped with uncertainty, a facade crumbling under the weight of his own deceit.
As their conversation came to an abrupt end, Kabir was left alone once more, the room suffocating in the echo of unsaid words and unresolved emotions. The tangled web of love, jealousy, and betrayal enveloped them all, leaving Kabir to wonder about the uncertain future that lay ahead for Arohi, Danish, and himself.
In the depths of the night, Kabir found himself standing at a crossroads, unsure of which path to take. Would he risk revealing the truth and shatter the fragile illusion Arohi held dear? Or would he continue to carry the burden of unrequited love and silent regrets, resigned to a fate dictated by the whims of fate and the tangled web of emotions that ensnared them all?
As the moon cast its gentle glow over the city, Kabir's heart remained heavy with the weight of devastation, his soul adrift in a sea of unspoken truths and unfulfilled desires. Only time would tell what the future held for Arohi, Danish, and himself, their fates intertwined in a dance of love and betrayal that would shape their destinies in ways they could never foresee.
