"Did you ever love me?" she asked, completely drunk, her eyes shimmering with tears as if pearls were sparkling in an ocean. Her voice carried a pain, a sorrow so deep, it felt as though her very soul was slipping away.
I gazed into her eyes, not knowing what this feeling was-whether it was pain or something deeper, something that made my heart ache. I could almost hear my own heart asking, Why, Rudra? Why did you do this? Why have you never allowed yourself to feel anyone's pain?
She asked the same question again, but before she could finish, she rested her head on my chest, closed her eyes, and then I gently picked her up in my arms and carried her toward my car.
