Chapter 15: The Day He Left

Sanya walked into class, expecting to see him there.

Expecting his usual smirk.

Expecting his teasing remarks.

Expecting him.

But his seat?

Empty.

She frowned, glancing around.

Maybe he was late. Maybe he was—

“Did you hear?” someone whispered behind her.

“Rudra Malhotra left. His family moved overnight.”

Sanya’s heart stopped.

What?

No. That wasn’t possible.

He wouldn’t just—

Leave.

---

Denial Feels a Lot Like Drowning

She spent the entire day in a daze.

She didn’t believe it.

Rudra wasn’t gone. He couldn’t be.

She kept checking the classroom door.

She kept waiting.

But he never came.

And when the final bell rang, reality hit her like a train.

He was really gone.

Without a word.

Without a reason.

Without… her.

The Silence That Screamed the Loudest

Days passed.

Then weeks.

Sanya didn’t talk about it.

Didn’t ask.

Didn’t acknowledge the ache in her chest.

But at night, when the world was quiet––

She found herself staring at her phone.

At their last messages.

At the one she never sent.

Sanya: "Why did you leave?"

But she never hit send.

Because what was the point?

There was no one left to read it.
