"hwcstory-03"
Dear Steemians, I hope everyone is well. I am well too. Today I have come to participate in the "hwcstory-03" competition running in the Hindhowell community. Many thanks to dear moderator @sur-riti sir for organizing a beautiful competition. So let's start.
The night is growing quieter and quieter. With her eyes focused on the ceiling, Ruhi lies on the bed. Despite her want to repeatedly pick up the phone that is kept in a room corner, she is managing her emotions. It is almost two in the morning, but there is no message.
It has been two years since her relationship with Aaraf. So much laughter, so much pride, so many moments of love! But recently their conversations have decreased. Where they used to talk for hours, now there is dry conversation, "How are you?" "I am fine. "Hmm, you" along with nothing else.
Ruhi's mind is telling her that something has changed. That previous warmth and love is no longer there. But she doesn't want to believe it. Maybe Arif is busy, maybe he can't give time due to work pressure. But tonight's silence is bothering him.
Finally, Ruhi gives in to her worries and picks up the phone. She opens the chatbox not once, not twice, but about twenty times, but there are no new messages. He dares to send a text, did you fall asleep?
Minutes pass, no reply. Ruhi knows that these days Arif doesn't wake up at night, but once he used to stay up at night to talk to her!
Suddenly the phone vibrates. Ruhi's chest tightens. She quickly looks at the screen. But it's not a message, it's a notification of Arif's new post on Instagram.
Ruhi quickly opens Instagram and sees a picture, the caption says, "The beginning of a new life" and Arif holding a girl's hand next to him.
Ruhi's whole body goes numb. Tears silently fall from her eyes. She never imagined that betrayal would come so silently and mess up her life. The wait was over, but a truth came to light that shattered her.
Ruhi put down the phone and stood near the window. It was late at night outside, all around was silent. Yet inside her, a storm was raging. Her hair was flying in the wind, but she stood still.
Her chest felt empty, but suddenly it felt like the person she had been waiting for all this time had long since left, only she didn't realize it. Tonight was a difficult night, but what about tomorrow? Maybe with the new sunrise, a new Ruhi would be born. Maybe one day this difficulty would be just a piece of the past. Ruhi took a deep breath. The wait was over, now it was her turn to start a new journey.
