"Are you sure that you want to do this? The heart, which used to beat for you once upon a time, will break if she learns this and the eyes, which held love at the very mention of you, will turn into ambers of hatred. Do you think she can take this, Vivaan?" questioned Sucheta, eying her son lost in the bittersweet memories; those which were ruthlessly snatched from her. From the best of friends to the most passionate of lovers, they had been together through every thick and thin. While he vowed to accompany her till her very last step like he did on her very first step, she promised to love him with all that she has, till death do them part. Until, an unfortunate event separates the childhood sweethearts and scars the souls of the soulmates. ________________________________________ "I don't love her in the way she seeks or she does," exclaimed Vivaan, causing Vrinda's anticipating smile to fade into a heartbroken frown. She stood amidst two warring families, hoping for support from childhood best friend who had won her heart, only to be spurned away in the most shattering way possible. His reluctance to reciprocate her amour caused her father's word to lose respect and her to lose respect in her father's eyes. He had been the ray of hope in every tumultuous situation, her guiding light, but alas, destiny decided to throw her into the vortex of darkness; away from her beloved, torn away by guilt for letting her family down and withered by the sheer weight of the situation. "Why, Vivaan? Why did you break every promise made to me, when I needed you the most?" she whispered to herself, hoping to find an answer to thousands of questions running in her mind. ____________________________________
