His voice was full of cautious pleading as he watched my expression for any sign of hope. It was the same way I used to look at him—like a stray dog on the side of the road, begging for a glance. I pulled my hand away without hesitation, my movement cold and distant. "I don't love you anymore. Eight years is a long time; it's more than enough to kill every bit of love I had for you. It's over." I tried to say it with as much dignity as I could. But Rolf only cried harder.

“Goodbye.” “Goodbye, Adrian.” “Thank you.” The old man looked toward Lily. “You surprised me the most.” She grinned. “I get that a lot.” He laughed warmly. Then— Like morning mist touched by sunlight— He faded away. Not into darkness. Not into light. Simply… into peace. No one chased after him. No one called his name. Some farewells didn’t need words. Elaine slipped her hand into Adrian’s. He intertwined their fingers without hesitation. Outside the hospital window, the rain had stopped.

The year Daniel went broke, I swallowed every last drop of pride.  I took a job as a dancer at a shady nightclub just to pay off his debts. We lived in a forty-dollar-a-night basement room, surviving on stale energy bars and tap water.  I became the laughingstock of everyone we used to know. Eight years later, he pulled off the ultimate comeback and clawed his way back to the top. His very first move?  Bringing his high school sweetheart, Mia, straight into our home. At his victory party, in front of a room packed with people, he laid down three rules for me. "First, keep your distance in public. Mia’s a total germaphobe. "Second, Mia is sensitive. From now on, tell people yo

Even the gifts—I'd get some cheap nine-ninety-nine mug she'd find on Amazon. Ryan would get limited-edition sneakers and designer hoodies she'd handpicked for him. I never used to care. But that doesn't mean I'm okay with them treating me like a fool. I stood there, letting my thoughts churn. Claire reached the corner, then suddenly turned back and waved at me. "Go on home, Enzo." "I'll call you when we land." Ryan shot me a smug grin and patted my shoulder. "Don't worry, man. I'll take good care of your wife!"

“I’ll miss you Clover..” “And I’ll come see you twice every week, I’ll make sure of that..” “I’ll be looking forward to those visits… safe travel my friend..” I bid her farewell and stood by the exit, watching her back disappear into the night.

Everyone around them gave cheeky smiles looking at the couples playing with each other. "Okay, now Pay up your sisters and take your wives home with you", Then came the time for bidaai (farewell ceremony). Abhi was holding Sara who held Rocher, standing beside Ava as she cried hugging her mom and dad. "We are just 10 minutes away baby. Come home every day. We will visit too", Ava nodded.

Now that the contract has expired, the time has come to let you be happy with the woman you love. I ask for your forgiveness for having been a hindrance in your life; the time has come to leave, and I will quietly step out of your life because I couldn’t bring myself to say goodbye. I never wanted anything but your love, so I waive any compensation. Take care of yourself; from the bottom of my heart, I wish you much happiness. God bless you, Goodbye, Elizabeth

“As ready as I’ll ever be.” I looked back one last time at Levi and Bea, who stood just outside the house, their faces reflecting a mixture of pride and sorrow. Bea wiped a tear from her cheek, giving me a small wave, while Levi simply watched, his eyes filled with everything he couldn’t say. “Goodbye,” I said softly, though it felt like the words were torn from me. And with one last, lingering glance, I turned and walked away, feeling the weight of home pull at me with every step.

She hummed to Adam along with her tears. “Goodbye, Bill Sky. It seemed our fate was not destined for each other. Even our fate refused us to be together. Heaven knew I wanted to fight against my fate to be with you but it seemed my fate was so powerful. Please take care of our son Adam. My heart is with you.” She muttered her last farewell to Bill while her tears were flowing non-stopped. Before the soil touched her neck, gunshots were heard around.
