In the dimly lit room, the words hung heavy in the air, laden with betrayal and hurt. Sarah's voice trembled as she struggled to contain her emotions."You think it's funny, but it's not. That hurts a lot, actually," she whispered, her eyes brimming with tears.Jake's expression softened, regret washing over his features. "I didn't mean it. And it was just a game. We didn't want to hurt you. In case we have hurt you, we are sorry."But Sarah's heart remained unconsoled. "Do you think your apology can make my heart happy? If you think so, then you're wrong. You have no right to play with others' feelings."Jake sighed, frustration evident in his voice. "Dude, it was just a game. Why are you taking it seriously?"But Sarah's pain ran deeper than mere words could convey. "To you, it was a game, not for me. If you knew that it was a game, then why did you come so close to me? Why did you spend your days and nights with me? Why?"The room fell silent as Jake hesitated, his gaze shifting away. And then, in a moment of painful clarity, he confessed, "The bet was to make you fall in love with me, so I had to do all these sorts of things."Sarah's world shattered as the truth sank in. "What?! Just for a bet, for a game, you played with my heart?"Jake's silence spoke volumes as Sarah's tears fell freely, mingling with the shattered remnants of her trust and innocence.In the end, amidst the ruins of their once-promising connection, Sarah walked away, leaving behind the echoes of her broken heart and the bitter taste of betrayal. And as Jake stood alone in the darkness, haunted by the consequences of his actions, he realized too late the cost of playing with fire.
