Part – 6
The university doors had finally reopened, and life slowly returned to its routine. Aamir and Shahzadi sat together in the classroom, attending lectures as usual. But something was different now.
The once easy companionship between them had grown strained, almost suffocating. Aamir could feel it in the air — the distance between them was palpable, heavier than ever before. He noticed how Shahzadi’s attention wandered, how she smiled and laughed with other students, as if she had forgotten everything they had shared 😔💔.
Aamir tried to ignore the growing suspicion that gnawed at him, but the truth couldn’t stay hidden for long. He began hearing whispers from classmates — small comments about Shahzadi, her relationships with others, and how she had moved on so quickly 💬.
The realization hit him like a punch to the gut 😣: she had been seeing other people while they were close, while they had shared intimate moments together 💔.
The knowledge that Shahzadi had betrayed him struck Aamir harder than he could have ever imagined 💔. Despite their late-night talks, their moments of closeness, she had never been loyal 💔.
She had carried on affairs with others while pretending to be with him, leading him to believe they were building something real 😞. It hurt, deeply.
All those moments they shared, the intimacy, the kisses, the trust —
had meant nothing to her 💔. She had done the same with other people, just as casually and carelessly 💔.
One afternoon, Aamir couldn’t hold it in any longer 😤. He approached Shahzadi after class, his chest tight with a mix of betrayal and anger 😡. His voice was quiet, but it held a sharp edge.
“Why?” he asked, his eyes searching hers 👀. “Why did you change? Why did you do this?”
Shahzadi glanced at him for a moment, her expression unreadable 😐. “Nothing,” she replied coolly, her voice flat and dismissive, as if their history together meant nothing 💔. She walked away without giving him a proper answer, leaving Aamir standing there, stunned and heartbroken 😔.
Aamir felt as if the ground had been ripped out from under him 😔. She had discarded him without a second thought — and worse, she had never truly cared the way he had 💔. The intimacy they had shared, the trust, it all seemed so trivial now. The lies were now clear, and Aamir couldn’t believe he had been so blind 😞.
In the days that followed, Aamir became a man consumed by his grief 😢 and betrayal. He shut himself off from the world, retreating into his studies 📚. His heart hardened 💔, and he vowed not to let anyone hurt him like that again 🚫.
He buried his emotions under his textbooks, his mind focused entirely on his academic goals 🎯. The world of relationships, of love and betrayal, was no longer something he wanted any part of ❌.
For the next few semesters, Aamir poured all his energy into his studies 📚. He was relentless, determined to be the best 🏆, to prove to himself and everyone around him that he didn’t need anyone to succeed 💪.
He ranked first in every subject, his grades soaring while his social life crumbled 💔. He made no new friends, shut out every attempt at connection, especially with girls 👩. To him, all girls were the same — untrustworthy, manipulative, and unworthy of his time 😤.
Meanwhile, Shahzadi’s situation was a stark contrast 🔄. The carefree girl who once charmed everyone with her beauty and confidence was now struggling to keep up in her classes 🥴.
She had neglected her studies, relying entirely on Aamir to teach her, to help her succeed 📚. Her grades had soared, but it wasn’t because of her own efforts; it was because Aamir had been there every step of the way, explaining concepts, guiding her through every lecture 💡.
But as the truth of her betrayal became clearer, so did her decline ⬇️. Shahzadi was dropped from the university 😞. Her lack of dedication to her studies had caught up with her, and the professors saw through her reliance on Aamir’s help 🙄. She was failing, and now it was too late 😔.
Aamir heard the news quietly, and though a part of him felt something — a small sense of vindication — it was fleeting. He had moved on, focusing solely on his future 🔮, his achievements 🏆, and his own path 🌱. Her fate no longer mattered to him 💔.
He continued to soar academically, becoming more isolated and determined with each passing semester 💪. Shahzadi’s absence didn’t affect him — it only confirmed his belief that people, particularly those he had once trusted, were unreliable 🛑.
In the end, Aamir learned a painful lesson 😔 — that loyalty was something he could no longer expect from others 💔. He didn’t need anyone to succeed, and he certainly didn’t need her 💪. His heart, once open and full of potential for love 💖, was now fortified behind walls of resolve 🧱. All that mattered now was his future. Everything else was just noise 🎶.
“I’ve learned that trust is a fragile thing, easily shattered by betrayal. I used to believe in love, in loyalty, but now I know that only I can shape my future. People come and go, but my ambitions are the only constant. From now on, I’ll trust no one but myself.” – Aamir
