Here's a **broken boy story** for you 💔

### **"He Smiled, But Not Like Before"**
Kabir was the kind of boy who laughed loudly. The kind who made everyone feel safe. He remembered birthdays, sent long good-morning texts, and believed in forever.
Then he met Ananya.
She wasn't perfect. She was stubborn, moody, and overthought everything. But to Kabir, she was home. He loved her quietly but deeply — like a promise he never planned to break.
For two years, he gave her everything. Time. Loyalty. Dreams. He fought the world for her. He ignored red flags because love made him colorblind.
One evening, she said,
*"You're too good for me."*
He laughed and replied,
*"There's no such thing."*
But there was.
A week later, he saw her with someone else. Not just standing. Not just talking. Smiling the way she used to smile at him.
She didn't cheat. She just moved on… before telling him she had.
Kabir didn't cry in front of anyone. Boys don't, right?
He just stopped texting first.
Stopped laughing loudly.
Stopped believing in forever.
At night, he would stare at the ceiling and replay every memory, wondering where he went wrong.
The worst part wasn't losing her.
It was losing the version of himself who believed love was enough.
Now he still smiles.
But not like before.
And the saddest thing?
He still hopes she's happy… even if it destroyed him.
