The void.
That’s what’s left. Without him, everything feels hollow.
I’m Akansha Puri… The other one. I fell for someone I was never supposed to. And whatever that was—it was enough. Because for a moment, it felt magical. Too good to be true. And like all things too good to be true… it burned me alive.
Loving him didn’t just hurt me—it ruined me from the inside.
I wasn’t always like this. I used to laugh easily. Find joy in little things. Even when life threw sour grapes at me, I smiled. I took it all in—because I believed those bitter moments shaped me. Made me stronger.
And then came the storm. In the form of Kairav Raichand. Or as I called him… Kai.
My Kai.
Now? He has no idea where I am. Which is strange—because he always knew. But maybe even he’s tired. Of juggling two lives. Two truths. The weight of it all.
Still… the urge to call him—it claws at me. But I don’t. I can’t. Because his kids deserve a father they can be proud of. Not one they have to hide from.
You’d think falling in love comes with a choice. But it doesn’t. Yet loving someone doesn’t mean you wreck their world. It means letting go.
Even when it kills you.
I was weak once. Not anymore. I know he needs me to be the strong one. Only then… can he move on. But God, it’s hard.
And in the middle of all this strength, I pretend to have… my heart still aches. He didn’t stop me. Not the way I thought he would. He let me go.
Maybe he needed distance. From the chaos I brought. Maybe he hated himself for loving me. Or maybe… he didn’t. I don’t know. And maybe I never will. Because in this messy, twisted version of love—clarity is rare.
This time, though… I’m not alone. There’s someone beside me. He doesn’t say much. Doesn’t need to. He just stays. Like a shadow that doesn’t disappear. And somehow, his silence holds me together.
As long as he’s here, I know I won’t slip. So I break my own heart. Every single day.
“Why?” he asked.
And I smiled, as I answered him… Because I never learned how to be bitter with Kai. I just… can’t. He gave me so much. He stood by me, stained his name, ruined his image, but taught me everything I know today.
I’ll always owe him for who he made me.
