In the cold confines of the airport waiting room, Priya found herself engulfed by a restless solitude. Despite her exhaustion, sleep eluded her, slipping through her grasp like grains of sand. Her mind, consumed by a whirlwind of conflicting emotions, refused to find respite.

As the night stretched on, Priya's thoughts drifted to the wedding ceremony she had chosen to miss. Imagining the joyous union between Ram and Lisa, she couldn't help but feel a pang of bitterness gnawing at her heart. She longed to share in their happiness, to revel in the warmth of their love, yet a sense of desolation engulfed her instead.

With each passing hour, the weight of her decision pressed down upon her, casting a shadow over her restless mind. Despite her best efforts to quell the turmoil within, an overwhelming sense of regret lingered, casting a pall over the dimly lit waiting room. As the first light of dawn began to filter through the windows, Priya remained lost in her thoughts, grappling with the bittersweet ache of what might have been.

As Priya made her way through the narrow aisle of the aircraft, her mind still weighed down by the events of the night. She longed for a moment of solitude, a chance to escape the suffocating grip of her thoughts.

Approaching the washroom, Priya's hopes for a moment of respite soared, only to come crashing down when she saw the "occupied" sign illuminated. With a heavy sigh, she resigned herself to wait, leaning against the nearby wall as she stole glances at her fellow passengers bustling about the cabin.

The rhythmic hum of the plane's engines provided a backdrop to Priya's restless thoughts, each passing moment stretching out before her like an eternity. Despite the confines of the aircraft, she felt a profound sense of isolation, a feeling of being adrift in an unfamiliar sea.

As she waited, Priya's mind drifted back to the events that had led her here, the echoes of past conversations and fleeting moments haunting her thoughts. Lost in her reverie, she barely noticed when the washroom door finally opened, the occupant emerging with a polite nod.

With a murmured "thank you," Priya stepped forward, eager to escape into the small sanctuary of the washroom, if only for a fleeting moment.

As Priya reached out to close the washroom door, a sudden commotion behind her startled her senses. Before she could react, the door was thrust open, and Ram barged into the confined space, his presence filling the room with an unexpected intensity.

Caught off guard by his sudden intrusion, Priya found herself at a loss for words, her mind reeling with a mixture of shock and confusion. She stood frozen in place, her eyes wide with disbelief as Ram closed the door behind him, cutting off any chance of escape.

In the cramped confines of the washroom, the air crackled with tension, each breath heavy with unspoken emotions. Priya's heart pounded in her chest, the sound echoing in her ears as she struggled to make sense of the situation.

Ram's gaze bore into hers, intense and searching, as if seeking answers to questions left unspoken. Despite her best efforts, Priya found herself unable to tear her gaze away, caught in the gravity of his presence.

 Surprised arent you ? Ram said 

Ram's words hung in the air, thick with tension, as Priya struggled to process the sudden turn of events. Her mind raced, trying to make sense of his cryptic statement, but the pieces refused to fall into place.

"How... why... what is happening?" Priya's voice trembled with confusion, her eyes searching his for answers she feared she wouldn't find.

Ram let out a heavy sigh, the weight of his words palpable in the charged atmosphere. "Because of you," he confessed, his voice tinged with resignation. "You always give me trouble, Priya. Ever since I met you..."
