The sun dipped below the horizon, painting the Parisian sky in shades of crimson and gold. Inside their lavish home, Amaya stood before a full-length mirror, her wedding dress draped elegantly over her arm. The delicate lace and intricate embroidery whispered of dreams and promises, but tonight, they carried a different weight.

Bhavya entered the room, his eyes widening at the sight of Amaya holding the wedding dress she had bought with her own money. Confusion and concern etched across his face. "Amaya, why didn't you use the funds I gave you for the dress? We discussed this, and I wanted to provide for you."

Amaya's gaze turned icy, a flicker of resentment shadowing her features. "I wanted to buy it with my own money, Bhavya babu. I didn't want to rely on your wealth for everything."

Bhavya's voice softened, his brow furrowing with genuine concern. "But Amaya, we are a team. Our love knows no boundaries of wealth or possessions. It hurts me to see you deny the support I wanted to offer."

A wave of bitterness surged through Amaya, igniting a fire within her. "Support? Bhavya babu, don't delude yourself. Your family's wealth is insignificant compared to mine. I come from a lineage of opulence, and your family will always be inferior."

The words hung heavily in the air, their sharpness piercing through Bhavya's heart. He took a step back, his voice trembling with hurt. "Amaya, I never thought of us in those terms. Our love was meant to transcend such superficial differences. I love you for who you are, not for the riches you possess."

Amaya's eyes flashed with anger, tears threatening to spill over. "You say that now, Bhavya babu, but deep down, you know it's true. I ran away from my family to be with you, to leave behind a world of privilege and obligations. And now, all I see is a man who can't understand what it's like to have everything and then willingly give it up."

Her words hung in the air, heavy with regret. The silence that followed was suffocating, filled only with the echoes of shattered love. Amaya turned away, her heart heavy with anguish, and hurriedly made her way out of their home, leaving Bhavya standing there, his soul wounded.

Outside, tears streamed down Amaya's face as she walked aimlessly through the streets of Paris, the weight of her words sinking in. She had let her pain and insecurities cloud her judgment, and now she was left alone with the regret of her hurtful words.
Bhavya, alone in their home, sank to his knees, grappling with the ache in his heart. His love for Amaya remained steadfast, but the wounds inflicted by her words ran deep. He realized that the strength of their love would be tested in this moment of despair.

As the evening unfolded and darkness descended upon Paris, both Amaya and Bhavya carried the weight of their shattered connection. Only time would reveal if their love could weather the storm of hurt and pride, and if they could find a way back to each other's arms.
