They say the most romantic kind of love is the unfinished kind.
The kind that will forever burn and mark your soul.

Shekhar's pov - (Elira's father)

Some of my friends and I are out, they are consuming alcohol and keep forcing me to at least have one peg. But no, I will not drink alcohol. Not because I don't want to, but because I have decided that I'll drink alcohol at my Elira's wedding as a celebration. That will be the best day of my life. I want my Elira's wedding as a blessing for her and us as well. My daughter Elira is my everything, my pride, my honour, my baby.

When she was born, she become my paradise, my little bundle of joy. When the first time she opened her cute eyes, all I could see was my universe. Her first word that she spoke was 'Papa'. She was always a mischievous kid for her Mumma but around me, she always behave sweet and cute. She had literally wrapped me around her tiny little finger. She became my compatriot the moment she was born. And when Yudi was born, I felt complete. He is my heart but Elira, my life. Both are my pride and reason to live.

When my Elira's studies will complete, then I will look for a potential man for her. I just want to make my Elira's future secure.

Author's pov -

(At the Breakfast table)

Reema (Elira's mom) observed the disturbed look of Shekhar "What's wrong? You have become so quiet after meeting your friends. Something happened?"

Elira and Yudi stopped their useless sibling fight and focused on their father.

"Hmm.... You know Michael right? He recently shifted from London to here. He was in so much tension because of his kids. His daughter is having an affair with a guy who lives in London. He recently found out about it, he met the guy but didn't like him you know. So he told his daughter about him, but all she did was accused him of interfering in her private life. She is ready to leave his dad for her so-called boyfriend." Shekhar said disappointingly.

Reema also felt bad "Young kids these days just forget about their boundaries. They don't care about their parents nowadays. They don't care about society and their parents' reputation. So disappointed these kinds of kids are."

"Yea, he was so miserable. He told me never in his imagination also he thought about his daughter would be having an affair behind his back. He was cursing all the daughters in the world you know but I stopped him, saying my Elira is my pride. She can't even think about these things. She would never disappoint me. I trust my baby" Shekhar said proudly.

Reema also smiled at his words and his love. Yudi didn't show it on his face, but he was happy that his dad loves Elira like no other in the world. He also loves her even though she annoys the hell out of him.

Elira's pov -

I felt like Papa's words just sucked my soul from my body. I was feeling so guilty, because I was exactly doing the same thing and now that I got to know my father will be so disappointed with me. And I would rather die than disappoint him.

I remember Papa always bragging about his happiest moment by telling again and again that it was probably when I was born. I feel like crying just by thinking of that moment. I can't make that moment filled with disappointment and misfortune now.

The fingers that held me from the moment I was born and the support that stood by me throughout my life, I can't even think of making Papa miserable by revealing my relationship with Advith.

I need to end this as soon as possible. The mere thought of my relationship has become a source of guilt for me. I was feeling suffocating. I need to breathe, breath for my dad and mom.

I can't be a letdown in their eyes. I would rather die happily.

Author's pov-

In all this chaos of her thoughts, she forgot about the most important person, who is unnecessarily dragged into this mess. She forgot about Advith's feelings and his love. Or maybe she doesn't want to acknowledge it deliberately for now.

Elira knows she was being selfish now or maybe a coward by running away or by cutting off her problems. She is ready to end her relationship with her Advith, who is probably falling too hard for her and his love is becoming his addiction.

"But I can't lose my mom and dad" she thought "It was my papa who taught me to value myself and I can't disrespect him by going against his wishes, it's better I end it sooner".

Elira's pov -

(At Night)

I took out my phone and started going through our chats, our photos, and our recollections. Tears just welling up in my eyes and a few droplets began to slide down my cheeks. It's been a long time since I cried my heart out.

Not after a long time, I felt a huge buzzing sound of my phone in my bed as I struggle to get hold of my tears. It was his call. My hands started to Shiver.

Author's pov -

Elira was crying for him. In all this thing, she ignored Advith's feelings. How is she going to make him understand. He has confessed his love to her just yesterday. It was such a beautiful day yesterday but now it felt like a nightmare.

Breaking his heart is a sin for her and she is ready to be a sinner in this life. This cruel decision of Elira will inevitably hurt him. How will she say goodbye to Advith, it's so damn hard to even think about it.

But after thinking about her father's smiling face, she has made the decision, that will cost her a lot in future.

Elira was crying badly while repeating " Our love is unfinished Advith. I am a coward and selfish but I can't help it. I can't do anything. I hope you will understand me."

The saddest part in life is saying goodbye to someone you wish to spend your lifetime with. It's true, Elira is totally feeling it. She is blaming herself for all this.

But she has a fear,

Fear of facing Advith,

Fear of his reaction,

Also,

Fear of unhappiness.

After breaking his heart like this, will she ever be able to feel happy during this lifetime. She doubts it.
