Ayzal's patience snapped as she poked him hard in the chest. "What have I done to deserve this?" Her voice shook with a mix of anger and hurt. He stayed silent, his eyes avoiding hers, hands stuffed in his pockets. She yanked him closer, her breath hot against his face. "I need to know why you have been shutting me out. For months, I have felt invisible to you. Don't I mean anything?" Her tears began to flow freely, and she wiped them away with frustration. "If it is too hard for you to be with me, then just say it. I can't keep living like this, feeling abandoned. Please, if you don't want me, let me go." With a final, sorrowful push, she stepped back. --- In the heart of a timeless romance, two souls were bound by a sacred promise, destined to be together forever. Yet, fate had other plans. One soul, once vibrant and full of love, now wanders through an endless void, aching for its missing half. The other, left shattered and heartbroken, mourns the loss of the one who completed his world. Their story, entwined by fate and love, becomes a poignant testament to the eternal bond they share-a bond that defies time and distance, and promises a reunion that will heal their broken hearts and restore their shared eternity.
