When We Were Young

Priya 21, is a dreamer with her eyes set on the future. Her passion for journalism burns brighter than anything else, and she's determined to make a name for herself. Delhi is where her future lies, and she's not afraid to leave everything behind to follow her dreams.

Reyansh is 22, carefree, and full of life. He's never been the one to plan for tomorrow, living in the now and enjoying every moment. Unlike Priya, who knows exactly what she wants, Reyansh is still figuring out his place in the world. But one thing has always been clear to him-Priya is everything.

Reyansh: "Why, Priya? Why now?"

Priya: "Because I can't do this anymore, Reyansh. I can't keep pretending everything is okay when it's not."

Reyansh: "So, you're just going to leave me like this? After everything?"

Priya: "I never wanted to, but we're falling apart, and I can't hold on to something that's already breaking."

Reyansh: "So that's it? You're just going to walk away?"

Priya: "I never wanted to hurt you, but staying would only hurt us more."

Reyansh: "You think this is easy for me? That it doesn't break me too?"

Priya: (voice shaking) "I know, but it's worse to keep hurting each other, Reyansh."

Reyansh: (pauses, voice softens) "So, we're done? Just like that?"

Priya: "I don't want to say goodbye, but I have to... for both of us."

Reyansh: (a tear slips out)"I never thought I'd hear you say that."

Priya: (her voice cracks) "I never thought I'd have to say it either... but it's the only way."
