Today, my world crumbled before my eyes

Today, my world crumbled before my eyes. Vyom left me, and my heart shattered. I yearned to weep, but my tears held no value after Vyom's ultimate sacrifice. Why did you do this, Vyom? Why did you leave me?

"Vyom, please get up! Disprove the doctor's words; rise, Vyom, please!" I begged.

I gazed at Vyom's lifeless body, grasped his cold hands, and shook him, pleading, "Vyom, wake up! Vyom..."

My screams echoed, and I felt as if my heart was being ripped from within.

Just then, I saw Kajal Mom and another woman pulling me away from Vyom's lifeless body. I struggled, "Maa, let me go! Get up Vyom, please! What are you doing?"
My voice was choked, suffocated by anguish.

"What do you want now? You've consumed my son, and still, you have no shame? What kind of girl are you? First, you devoured your parents, and now my son. May God spare anyone from a daughter and wife like you. You're a bad omen, get out of my house! You have no connection to this family." That woman said

My heart shattered from within, my body drained of life. Yet, I mustered the strength to break free and rush to Vyom.

I grasped Vyom's shoulders and pleaded, "Vyom, rise for my sake! How can you leave me like this? Vyom, please!"

But he lay lifeless on the floor, clothed in white.

Kajal Maa and that woman dragged me to the gate, despite my pleas to let me go to Vyom. They pushed me out, and I fell to the floor, hissing in pain. But this agony was nothing compared to the ache in my heart.

The woman's final act cut deepest: she yanked my nuptial chain, scattering its pearls on the ground.

I jolted awake, gasping for breath, tears streaming down my face. This was the worst nightmare of my life.

A sense of foreboding gripped me, as if something was about to go terribly wrong. I threw off the covers and rushed out of the mansion towards the gate. The stormy weather mirrored my turmoil - dark skies, strong winds, and the threat of impending rain.

I struggled to open the gate, but it was locked. That's when the guard appeared, saying..."

"Where are you going, ma'am? It's not safe..." the guard began, but I swiftly pulled out the gun from his pocket and pointed it at him.

"Open the gate, or you'll see what I'm capable of," I warned, my voice trembling.

The guard's eyes widened. "Tarun sir has strictly forbidden you from going out alone," he pleaded.

But I was beyond reason. My anger and desperation consumed me. I didn't know what came over me, but I knew I had to reach Vyom.

In a blind rage, I pulled the trigger, firing a shot into the floor. The guard's eyes darted to the side, and he swiftly unlocked the gate before fleeing to inform Tarun.
