"You said you don't hate me. So, can't we start a new chapter?" she said trembling, her eyes filled with hope.
He laughed loudly. "Aliya Emdad are you a stupid or just pretending to be. Listen to me carefully. Yes I don't hate you. Actually I feel...

With a heavy heart, I pulled back from the kiss, feeling the weight of the moment settle deep within me. I placed a gentle kiss on her forehead, letting it linger as if trying to leave a last piece of myself with her.
With a shaky hand, I wiped the tears from her cheeks, my thumb brushing softly against her skin. "Don't cry anymore," I whispered, my voice barely holding together as my throat tightened. "Do anything... but cry."
It took everything in me to pull away, knowing this might be the last time I'd feel her warmth so close.
Without waiting or looking at her anymore I turned to leave. Because I knew if I stayed here for a few seconds I might change my decision.
When I got back to the street I looked up at her window, watching as the light dimly illuminated her figure standing there, a silhouette against the thin curtain. She hadn't moved, frozen like I was, both of us trapped in that lingering ache. It tore me up, knowing she was just a few steps away yet inevitably out of reach.
After looking at her for another few minutes I turned to go away. Her face, her touch, her smile imprinted on my brain like a tattoo. As I took each step away from her, I felt like I was leaving a part of my soul that I may never get back. And I knew that I'll always be incomplete without that part of my soul- My All.
But this is the best I can do for her. Peace- the only thing she ever asked for me and I'm going to give it to her even if it costs me everything.
When I reached home defeated, my body gave up along with my heart. Stumbled I reached our room where I have the best moments of my life. Her laughter still echoed every corner of the room as a cruel reminder that she is gone.
My hand instinctively caressed over our bed. The bed in which she was in my arms.
I collapsed on the bed where her scent still lingered. I lied there clutching her pillow as if it was her and murmured, "All...my love". My throat tightened as the force to accept the reality. "Will I be able to live without you?" a lone tear escaped my eyes.... ______________________________
I was jolted awake by the ringing of my phone. Sarah was calling. When did I fall asleep? I'd been awake all night, drowning in heartbreak.
Why would she be calling this early?
Was she okay?
I picked up, her voice coming through soft, almost a whisper.
"Bhai... I need to discuss something."
"What happened, Saru? Where are you?"
"Um... I'm at 'Meridian,' the restaurant near my apartment. I just landed about an hour ago."
