FELL FOR AN AMERICAN GREEK GOD

Aaron, a dedicated high-ranking bomb squad officer in the American Navy stationed in Bahrain, crossed paths with Purvi, an Indian chartered accountant working at Deloitte. Their initial encounter during Aaron's morning jog he met a girl struggling to jog.
Aaron's eyebrows shot up as he noticed the troubled look on Purvi's face. He took a step closer, tilting his head slightly to convey curiosity. "Are you okay?" he inquired; his tone was gentle.
Purvi, a bit startled by the sudden attention from a stranger, looked up with a mixture of surprise and vulnerability. Her shoulders hunched slightly as she responded, "Not until I lose my excess 50-pound weight." Her eyes revealed a hint of insecurity.
Aaron, understanding the sensitivity of the situation, softened his expression, offering a reassuring smile. He maintained a respectful distance but conveyed empathy through his body language. "Don't be hard on yourself," he said in a soothing tone, attempting to provide comfort to the stranger he had just met. "You will do it." Aaron's encouraging words ignited her determination.
Over the course of several days, their chance meetings along their jogging route evolved into intentional rendezvous. Aaron became her fitness mentor, and they spent more time together.
One day, when Purvi visited Aaron's lavish home, she inquired about his job, discovering his esteemed position in the Navy. Aaron, at just 30 years old, had reached a position typically attained at 45 due to his exceptional service in Afghanistan.
Purvi looked around Aaron's house in awe, her eyes lighting up with admiration. "Your house is amazing. What do you do at your job?" she inquired.
Aaron leaned back, a sense of pride evident in his posture and facial expression. "I'm the top bomb squad officer," he stated confidently. "My work in Afghanistan accelerated my career."
They spent more time with each other, and he did things with her which he had never done with any other woman like cooking together, reading a book watching a movie lying on her lap. He himself felt strange how effortless it was with her without the constant need to impress her. That's when he realized she was more than a friend.
Aaron's voice quivered with emotion as he leaned in closer, his eyes locked onto Purvi's. "I think I am falling in love with you," he confessed.
Purvi's cheeks flushed, and she met Aaron's gaze with a soft, affectionate smile. "The feeling is mutual, and I am equally guilty," she admitted, her eyes sparkling with affection and a hint of playfulness.
In a tender moment, Aaron, known for his rugged exterior, revealed his softer side to Purvi. As their love deepened, he treated her with utmost care and affection, just like a delicate butterfly landing gently on a flower. His touch was gentle, loving, and filled with a deep connection that transcended their physical bond. Despite his past experiences with other partners, Purvi's innocence and pure affection had a profound impact on Aaron's military heart.
On that intimate night, they decided to take their relationship to a new level. It was a moment of trust and vulnerability. Aaron, who had been with many before, approached the situation with a newfound tenderness. He made love to her innocent soul, ensuring that the experience was a beautiful and unforgettable one for Purvi as she gave her virginity to the American on a silver platter.
Despite Aaron's initial decision to forgo a family because of his risky job, he found himself envisioning a future with Purvi. They began to act like a typical couple, and he ended up purchasing an engagement ring. However, fate intervened as he met with a minor accident, fracturing his leg on his way home.
Witnessing Purvi's extreme distress at his injury, Aaron realized the vulnerability of their relationship. He knew he couldn't stay with her, fearing she'd suffer deeply if anything happened to him on the job.
Aaron's brow furrowed as he struggled to find the right words. "I was thinking about us," he began, his eyes filled with love and concern. "I love you, but I love my job equally, and I am torn between both. I don't want to put you through pain if something happens to me."
Purvi's heart sank upon hearing Aaron's words, but she knew she had to protect him from her own feelings of hurt and disappointment. With a forced smile, she replied, "My parents found a groom for me. It's for the best, and I know what you felt for me was not serious." Her eyes betrayed a hint of sadness and regret, but her expression remained composed, concealing her true emotions.
She said that when she knew exactly what he felt for her. Aaron reluctantly accepted this, making love one last time before parting ways.
Purvi returned to India, and Aaron embarked on a mission related to the Israel-Palestine conflict. Two months later, she called him to reveal her pregnancy but decided not to divulge further information, knowing he was in a war zone. Her parents banished her because of her pregnancy.
Days after her call, Aaron had a near-death experience, prompting him to re-evaluate his choices. All he could think about in that hospital bed was her. He decided to screw every rational thinking and go back to her. He attempted to visit India but encountered visa difficulties due to his military status.
After several months of unsuccessful attempts, he made a heartfelt video seeking the people of India's help to locate Purvi, showing her picture as she has blocked him everywhere and he is not sure about her marital status yet.
Several Indian military personnel reached out to Aaron, expressing their understanding of his dilemma. They recognized the tough choices that military personnel like Aaron face, torn between their dedication to duty and the potential heartbreak which can bring to their loved ones due to the inherent risks of their dangerous job descriptions. They helped him to trace her location and he found she was admitted to the hospital. Aaron finally rushes to the hospital where Purvi was in labor.
Aaron's voice quivered with emotion as he stood by Purvi's side in the hospital room, holding her hand tightly. "I'm here, Purvi," he reassured her, his eyes reflecting his deep affection and concern.
The doctors allowed Aaron to be present during the birth, recognizing the significance of his presence to Purvi, who had no other family members around. Purvi later gave birth to a baby boy, and when the doctor inquired about the father's name for the birth certificate, Purvi asked, “Do you have a middle name, or is it just Aaron Porter?"
As the nurse handed the baby to Aaron, the uncanny resemblance between the baby and Aaron was striking, as if he were an exact copy of his father. This moment served as a powerful reminder of the love they had shared, a love strong enough to create a new life that embodied their connection.
Overwhelmed with emotion, Aaron understood that Purvi had waited for him, even though he hadn't promised to return. She confessed, “I was never getting married. I couldn't stop the Israel-Palestine war, but I can stop the war inside your head. I love you so much that I couldn't see you getting torn between your beloved and your job."
Aaron, deeply moved, declared, "I'll quit my job for you."
Purvi shook her head gently, her eyes filled with love and determination. "No, I will stay strong. Let America be your first love; just make me your second love."
Aaron smiled, his heart full of love and gratitude. "America lost its first position a long time back. You are my first love, America will be second, maybe third after my sweet little chubby boy."
He kisses her and the baby promising they are going to be a family forever. Through perseverance and Aaron's efforts to convince her parents, they tied the knot, and they lived happily ever after, a testament to the power of love and dedication.
