Start-up (The Heart Broken 💔)
A 20 years old smart and good looking guy Rakesh, full of dreams and hopes. He was not the most successful, nor the richest, but his heart beat with pure love. In his college, he had fallen deeply in love with a girl named Nisha. For him, she was the center of his world - the smile that gave meaning to his mornings, the voice that echoed in his heart even in silence.
But their love was not something society wanted to accept. Nisha’s parents never approved of their relationship. To them, Rakesh was just a poor, jobless boy with no future. He could never match the ambitions they carried for their daughter. Still, Rakesh and Nisha believed in their love more than anything else. Against all opposition, with nothing but their hearts tied together, they eloped and got married.
At first, Rakesh thought love would conquer everything. He believed that Nisha would stand by him, no matter what. But reality was cruel. Days turned into weeks, weeks into months, and Rakesh found himself helpless. He had no job, no money, not even enough to buy his wife a simple saree.

Rakesh kept quiet, but inside, every word shattered him. He wanted to scream, to defend himself, but he had no strength left.
And then came the day that destroyed him completely. Nisha, tired of poverty and humiliation, decided to leave. Without a tear in her eyes, she walked away from Rakesh’s life forever. Her parents arranged her marriage with another man— a man with money, stability, and everything Rakesh lacked.
Rakesh begged her not to go. He fell to his knees, tears flooding his face.
“Nisha… I married you because I loved you. You promised to stand by me… how can you leave me now?"
But Nisha didn’t look back. For her, the chapter was closed.
That night, Rakesh sat alone in his small room, drowning in sor
