“I wasn't healing… I was just pretending.” (FULL 1 MIN)

SITUATION (4–5 lines):

Hallway me achanak milne ka moment hai.
Ladki kehti hai, “Tum to theek lag rahe ho.”
Ladka ek weak smile deta hai, phir nazar hata leta hai.
Andar bohot dard dabba hua hai.
Woh finally pretend na karne ka faisla karta hai.

1-MIN MONOLOGUE:

Tumne kaha na,
“tum to theek lag rahe ho”…
par sach to yeh hai—
I wasn’t healing… I was just pretending.

Main logon ke saamne hasta tha,
kaam me busy rehta tha,
stories post karta tha…
par andar se main wahi tha—
ussi dard me atka hua
jahan tumne mujhe chhoda tha.

Healing ka matlab hota hai aage badhna,
par main to wohi lamha baar baar jee raha tha.
Main raat me ro kar soya hoon,
subah face dhokar smile lagayi hai,
taaki duniya ko lage main strong hoon.

Par strong banana aur strong hona
dono alag cheezein hain.
Main theek nahi tha…
main bas thak gaya tha dikhane me
ki main theek hoon.

Aaj tumhare saamne sach bol raha hoon—
main kabhi heal nahi hua…
maine bas acting ki,
taaki kisi ko pata na chale
ki mera dil abhi bhi wahi pada hai
jahan tumne tod diya tha.
