"I need time," she said, her words weighing heavily on his heart.
"Time? I've been waiting for more than ten years, Snowave," he replied, stepping closer to her.
"I need some space. Can I go now?" she asked hesitantly.
His expression darkened as he whispered, "That's all you ever do, Snowave. Running away from me."
Her voice trembled, but her resolve remained firm. "I need clarity. Stop keeping me in this endless wait. I'm tired, snowave. I have a life too," he said, his frustration evident.
Her next words pierced him like a dagger. "I've already told you I don't love you. Why can't you understand? I'm not keeping you waiting. Go find someone else and get married. Stop blaming me for your suffering. My parents are pressuring me too. Let me live in peace, Kabir. I will never love you."
Each word she spoke felt like a blade carving through his chest, leaving him breathless. Yet, despite the agony, he couldn't let her go.
He dropped to his knees, his voice breaking. "I'm sorry, Snowave. I'm so sorry. Please, take your time. I'll wait. I promise I'll wait. But please... don't leave me, don't say like this I beg you"

And that is their story-or perhaps only his.
He loved her more deeply than he even understood, a love that had consumed him since he was too young to grasp its meaning. His eyes were always drawn to her, and only her.
But Snowave... his snowave
She was the cherished princess of her family, carefree and shielded from the harsher realities of life. She was too young, too innocent, to understand the depth of his feelings.
Yet, behind her carefree demeanor lay a hidden pain. Something had happened in her life, something that left her too scared to love anyone, convinced she didn't deserve love herself.
What had happened to his little girl? His Snowave?
