"Uhmm, honestly, I don't know how to confess to you, Ankita," I said, my heart pounding in my chest.
The room was sparsely decorated with yellow balloons, her favorite color. It all happened so fast that I couldn't make it perfect. I hoped she would appreciate the effort.
"What is it, Aryan?" she asked, her eyes wandering around the room.
I gathered my courage and looked straight into her eyes. "I love you, Ankita," I confessed sincerely.
Her body stiffened at my words, and she looked at me with numb eyes.
I gave a small smile and continued, "I myself don't know how and when it happened, but I started falling for you, Ankita. I realize that I can't live with-"

She was looking at me with teary eyes."Ankita," I murmured in shock.

My entire body froze, and my eyes blurred with tears. I took a step back, the painful lump in my throat making it hard to speak.
