Abhira sat on the cold floor, hugging herself. Tears wouldn't stop. Her heart felt like it had been ripped apart.

Armaan's words echoed in her ears again and again.

"Cheater... dhokebaaz... sirf ek jhooth..."

She covered her ears, shaking her head.

"Nahi... nahi... aisa nahi hai..." she whispered, sobbing harder.

She had tried. She was trying to move on. But everything was ruined. Again. Just like four months ago.

Everything was snatched from her again.

She looked at the sindoor in her maang, her mangalsutra around her neck.

Armaan had forced her to say she was his.

But was she? Was she anyone's anymore?

She clutched her chest, gasping for breath.

Why did it always happen to her?

Why does people always break her?

She closed her eyes, tears falling non-stop. There was no one to wipe them.

Abhira slowly stood up, her legs shaking.

She walked to the mirror, her breath uneven.

Her red, swollen eyes stared back at her. Her face was pale, lifeless.

She saw the sindoor-a small red line in her maang.

Her hands trembled as she touched it. This was Armaan's name.

Her eyes lowered to her neck. The beautiful mangalsutra rested against her skin.

Armaan's name... his mark... his promise.

Her fingers traced the black and gold beads.

Tears fell onto her trembling hands. She clutched the mangalsutra tightly, pressing it to her chest.

"Armaan..." she whispered through her sobs.

She kissed the pendant, her tears wetting it.

"Please, Armaan..." she whispered, her voice breaking.

Her fingers clutched the mangalsutra tighter.

"Don't leave me..." her sobs grew louder.

She fell to her knees, shaking.

"I lost my first love..." she cried.

Her heart ached at the memory.

"Rohit ko kho diya maine... us pyaar ko bacha nahi payi..."

She gasped for air, her chest hurting.

"Ab tum bhi ja rahe ho?" her voice cracked.

She held her wrist, gripping the pendant he had given her.

"Main toot jaungi, Armaan..." her tears wouldn't stop.

"Main phir se khud ko nahi jod paungi..."

Her fingers dug into her skin, pain filling her body.

"Kyun hamesha mere saath hi hota hai? Sab kyun mujhe chod ke chale jaate hain? Main buri hoon kya? Main pyaar ke layak nahi hoon?"

Her lips trembled, her vision blurred.

"Tum jaa rahe ho na?" she whispered.

She touched her sindoor again, her fingers shaking.

"Toh yeh sab kya tha, Armaan? Tumne mujhe apna naam diya... Tumne mujhe apna kaha...Par ab mujhe akela chod rahe ho?"
