Stay with me

"I hate you..."
8-year-old Siya spoke those words with a fire so fierce, eyes blazing with the kind of animosity only children can muster. She glared at 10-year-old Kabir, her tiny fists clenched in pure fury.

"I hate you too, fatty!" Kabir retorted with a grin, tugging at her cheek playfully. He could never stand her, yet couldn't seem to leave her alone.

"I never want to see you again... I hate you, Kabir..."
19-year-old Siya stood her ground, her gaze colder than ever, as 21-year-old Kabir found himself caught in the web of his own growing feelings.

"But why not give me a chance?" Kabir asked, his voice tinged with desperation as he reached for her hand, pulling her towards him. But Siya only recoiled, her hatred still burning deep.

"Why did you do this to me, Kabir? You ruined my life..."
At 24, Siya's voice cracked with pain, the years of bitterness and heartache building up to this breaking point.

"I hate you so much, Siya. I want to see you suffer," Kabir's voice was a dark storm, his heart drowning in confusion and fury. He said it, but did he mean it?

"Please, Kabir... accept me," Siya's voice was raw, pleading for a future they never imagined.

"It's too late, Siya..." Kabir sighed heavily, signing the divorce papers with finality. His soul screamed as he prepared to leave everything behind, including the love he refused to admit.

"Stay with me..." Siya's words were a quiet plea, her fingers clutching his elbow desperately.

Kabir turned, his eyes locking with hers for one last time-before he pulled away, leaving her grip behind, and walked out of her life, his heart shattered in the process.
