Samyra x Riyan

"Who am I to you, Samyra?" he asked, his voice low, trembling, as his hands gently gripped my arms. His eyes searched mine with a desperation that shattered something inside me.

A single tear escaped before I could stop it. I looked away, my heart aching with all the words I had buried for too long. I stepped back, gently pushing him, not to reject him, but to find my breath.

Then I closed my eyes, let the storm inside me settle... and opened them again.

With quiet resolve, I stepped closer and wrapped my arms around him tightly, as if I could hold time still.

"You are my wish, Riyan," I whispered against his shoulder. "Yes... you are the wish I once believed would remain forever unfulfilled. But you're not just my incomplete dream, you're my second chance. My miracle. My gift from God."

I slowly stepped back, my hands lingering on his chest before I met his gaze again.

"What should I say to you? What do I even call you?" I said, voice trembling. "My wish? My second chance? My blessing? I don't know. All I know is this, Mr. Riyan Sehgal... you are precious to me. So damn precious. You are the one I cherish beyond everything else in this world."

I cupped his face in my palms, my thumbs brushing his cheeks like a prayer.

"You have no idea," I said softly, fiercely, "how long I've waited to say this. So don't you dare interrupt me."

Then, without hesitation, I took a step back and slowly sank to my knees, the weight of my emotions pulling me down in the most sacred surrender.

"I love you, Riyan," I breathed, looking up at him. "I love you with everything I have. I love you, my Mr. Mesmerizing Eyes. I've loved you since the very first day we met, even before I knew what love truly meant. Seven years have passed, and still, my heart beats for you like it did on day one."

And without a word, he knelt beside me, his arms wrapping around me in an embrace so soft, so certain, it felt like a promise made in silence.

Ahaan x Mrunal

"Why me? Why is it always me, Mrunal? Why me? Am I that bad? Do I not deserve to be loved? First, it was my parents, and now it's Samyra. Why am I the one who is always left heartbroken? Why didn't they choose me?" He said in anger while punching the wall, leaving Mrunal stunned in place.

She said it was him. Only him from the start... From the start, my foot. Where was he during these seven years? Where was he when she lost her parents? When she was broken. When she had nightmares. When she was suffering from panic attacks. Where the hell was he? He wasn't here. He never was.

It was me. I was the one who was there with her, by her side, all these years. Can't she see? Is she blind or what? Can't she see that it was me who was with her all these years, not that Riyan?

"I loved her with all my heart, Mrunal. I love her so much. I can't bear to see her with anyone else. I have to do something. I cannot lose her. She is my Sunflower. She is mine. No one can take her away from me. I am not going to let this happen. I will not just sit and watch my love walk away with someone else. No, I will not," Ahaan said, dropping to his knees, sobbing and crying.

Mrunal also knelt down, hugged him, and said, "I will not tell you to stop crying. I will not say that you have to be strong. I won't because I know. I know how you are feeling right now. I know better than anyone. But Ahaan, remember, you once told me that we can't force anyone to love us back, right? Similarly, we can't claim something that doesn't belong to us.

Samyra doesn't belong to you, Ahaan.

She belongs to him. She loves him, and she will always choose him, no matter what."
