ऐसा क्यूँ कर हुआ
जानू ना मैं जानू ना
हो दिल संभल जा ज़रा
फिर मोहब्बत करने चला है

She slammed the door in my face.

I asked for it, didn't I?

I begged for it.

I told her to ignore me, to forget I existed. But watching her walk away, watching that door slam shut... It's not what I thought it would feel like.

She hates me now.

I can feel it.

I can feel how much she's grown to despise me, how every part of her wants to erase me from her life.

And I asked for it.

I went to my room and collapsed onto the bed, burying my face in the pillow. I didn't want to think about her.

I closed my eyes and let the weight of everything pull me into sleep.

I woke up early, like I always do, the weight of the night still pressing against my chest, but I pushed it aside.

I'd learned to make the mornings my own, to start the day before my mind could catch up with all the things I wanted to forget.

My feet hit the pavement, and I let my mind wander while my body worked on autopilot.

Running wasn't about escaping; it was about finding some kind of control in the chaos.

After an hour of grueling workout, I returned to my room, drenched in sweat.

I moved mechanically, like everything was a checklist. Take a shower, get dressed, go through the motions.

I stepped into the bathroom, letting the hot water rush over me, the steam clouding my thoughts.

But something felt... off.
