This is where stuff starts truly deviating from the show and the characters start becoming a bit OOC. I'm basing this a bit more on how reality goes and not how it was portrayed in the show.
Why? Why now Rey?' Her eyes closed, she tried to pull free, but with a sudden yank of his hand, he was standing, and she, in his arms, staring into the eyes she had fallen in love with.
"Please Taani. I was wrong. Please forgive me. Sweetheart, please look at me. One chance Taani. Please give me, give us another chance? I'll change. I'll quit dance. I'll join dad's business if that's what your uncle wishes. He hates dancers, right? I won't dance anymore. Please hear me out just once Taani. Just once?" The tremor in his voice told her so much. He always was shit at hiding his emotions from her.
His words fueled her, spurred her to utter the words that had been revolving in her head. "There is no us Rey. There never was. There was just you and your friends. I was just the girl they hung out with because my brother was the dance team co-captain and then because I was your girlfriend. You were my first love, Rey. But I was never yours. Your first love has always been dance. And try as I may, I can never replace that in your heart. There was never an us because for that you have to listen to me, to understand me as well. Have you ever listened to me? You say I have always misunderstood you, but have you ever tried to understand me? Please don't do this Rey, don't act like you care." Her knees crumbled beneath her and she would have fallen if not for his grip on her arms, keeping her steady.
Taking in a deep breath, she brought her arms up, slowly pushing his hands from her arms. "There's no use talking about all this Rey. Please dry off. I'll go get something warm for you and you can wait out the storm in the guestroom or Swayam's room."
"Taani-"
"No Rey. You did what you had to do. You said what you had to and ended everything. We have nothing to talk about." She relocated to the kitchen, leaving him behind in her room.
His words to Sharon and to her on that day ran through her head as her hands mechanically went through the motions. She'd overheard the conversation with Sharon unintentionally, but that didn't mean her heart broke into any fewer pieces when it finally happened
"She irritates me! I'm tolerating her only because she is Swayam's sister. If she wasn't my best friend's sister, I would've left her a long time ago. What do I do now Sharon? She's got marriage stuck in her head. She never shuts up about it! She's so selfish! I think I need a break from her. But I can't say anything to her. If I open my mouth, she'll go running to her brother. And Swayam's not just a friend for me, he's practically my brother. And I don't want to take a gamble on our relationship. But I can't stomach her any longer! What do I do Sharon? You tell me." Rey vented out his frustration to Sharon in the Rehearsal Hall.
"Taani, look. You're a really nice girl. But I feel like as long as we've been together, you've lost your drive. You've lost all sense of yourself and now you're just waiting to settle down with me. I think this is it for us."
Here you go, Rey. This is who I've become. This is who you've turned me into. Someone who focuses on their career. Someone who expects nothing from anyone. A girl who had her rose-colored glasses removed. Was it just a game? Was it all a game for you? Break up with Taani and then try to get her back by saying that the break-up was a planned thing to give me a push towards being ambitious.'
