Her heart carried a secret heavier than the world itself, a secret she couldn't share with anyone, not even her best friend Meghna.

It all began on the first day of tenth grade when Ayesha met Aarush Raichand, the boy who made her heart dance with just a smile. He was like a prince from a fairy tale, with eyes that sparkled like stars in the night sky.

But fate had a funny way of playing tricks, and before Ayesha could even gather the courage to tell Aarush how she felt, he fell in love with Meghna.

And just like that, Ayesha's dreams shattered like glass, leaving her to watch from the sidelines as her best friend and the boy she loved became inseparable.

Despite the ache in her heart, Ayesha knew she had to let them be happy together. So she buried her feelings deep inside, pretending to be okay with being just a friend.

But then, tragedy struck, and Meghna was gone, leaving Aarush behind to mourn the love of his life. And in the midst of his grief, Ayesha found herself drawn to him in ways she couldn't explain. She became his confidante, his rock, and eventually, his wife.

But....

They were just friends..

Yet, even as she stood by his side, Ayesha couldn't shake the guilt that gnawed at her heart. She was living a life built on secrets and unspoken desires, torn between her loyalty to Meghna and the love she held for Aarush.

He found his solace in her...
But only as a friend...

Ayesha was his the moment she saw him...but he was never to call hers...

Like she said - what should I do with a heart that beats for a love I can never call mine ?
