Maya was perplexed by Zan’s inexplicable behavior. Whenever Zan was with his friends, he would become impolite to her and would even insult her if he saw her talking to any other guy. Despite this, Maya believed that these actions were merely signs of love, and she thought that Zan was incapable of expressing his emotions properly.
Anil, a friend of Maya’s, attempted to persuade her that this was not how a healthy relationship should function, but Maya was not willing to accept it.
One evening, when Zan had been drinking, he burnt Maya’s arm with a cigarette butt. Maya had requested that he not drink excessively and think about his future, but Zan had become increasingly reliant on alcohol.
Strangely, Zan never seemed to remember any of his abusive actions toward Maya in the morning. Maya contemplated leaving Zan due to the escalating toxicity of their relationship, but whenever she attempted to do so, Zan would become exceedingly sweet, causing Maya to have a change of heart.
Furthermore, Maya had overlooked two critical concerns. Zan was financially dependent on her, and her income was being depleted as a result. Furthermore, Maya’s work was being impacted.
Pooja, one of Maya’s closest friends, expressed her dismay at Maya’s situation. Pooja believed that Zan was taking advantage of Maya for sex and money, and she urged Maya to reconsider her relationship.
Maya was hesitant to acknowledge the truth behind Pooja’s statement, claiming that Zan was merely stressed out because of his business issues and depended on her. She was unaware of how much her mental health was being harmed.
Five days later, something occurred that completely shattered Maya.
