"Prity, forget everything which happened between us, forget me. Delete everything and don't try to contact me ever. Don't show your face to me again," she hurried off from her seat, making my heart clench.

"And listen, I will marry a man only. Not a woman, not you, Prity Sharma," she said, wiping off her remaining tears, and rushed out from the place.
