At 3 PM, Aditi finished her classes and headed to her part-time job. She was juggling her studies and earning for her family.

As she began her work, she noticed someone entering the cafe. Despite recognizing the person, she decided to focus on her tasks.

However, her attention was drawn to two people sitting in a corner, holding hands. She knew who they were.

She struggled to hold back her tears, thinking it was just her imagination or some unrealistic scenario she was creating. While working, she overheard someone ordering two cappuccinos and a milk cake.

She recognized the person but kept her head down, wearing a mask and a cap to conceal her face. She wasn't prepared for this encounter and believed it to be a product of her overthinking.

When she asked for his number for billing purposes and heard it starting with a '9,' her heart raced. She prayed she was wrong. But when the number was complete, she knew she was right. She slowly removed her mask, tears streaming down her face. She couldn't hold back any longer. She handed over the bill and whispered, "Thank you."

She saw the love of her life, with whom she had spent a whole eight years, holding another girl's hand. While Aditi had been planning their future and working hard to convince their parents, this sight shattered her.As Aditi completed her work and prepared to leave the cafe, she managed to give him a smile, though her tears persisted.

Then, a voice called out, "Aditi, please stop." It was Dhruv.

"I'm sorry for what I did," he confessed.

Aditi replied with a heavy heart, "It's okay, Dhruv." She turned to leave.

But Dhruv pleaded again, "Aditi, I am sorry. Please forgive me." He desperately tried to convince her, but Aditi was already shattered.

Through her tears, she looked at him and said, "Dhruv, you can't change your mistake, not after what you've done."

In the end, Aditi's words were a painful truth: "Knowing that you don't love me anymore doesn't hurt as much as realizing that you were just playing with my heart."
