Her Reasons!

Barcelona !

Days passed, and Araac and Karishma's relationship found a more stable rhythm. Though there were brief moments when Araac's anger would flare, he made a conscious effort to control himself, creating a somewhat peaceful coexistence.

One evening, Araac approached Karishma with a sparkle of excitement in his eyes.

"Karishma, main tumhare birthday ke liye ek surprise trip plan kiya hai," he announced, holding out two tickets.

Karishma looked up from her study materials, a hint of worry crossing her face. "Surprise trip? Lekin Araac, humare semester exams hain. Hum kaise ja sakte hain?"

Araac's excitement dimmed slightly, but he remained hopeful. "Main sab manage kar loonga princess. Tum tumhare exams online ho de sakti ho. Main sab arrange kar dunga."

Karishma shook her head, her expression firm. "Nahi, Araac. Exams important hain. Hume yahan rehna hoga aur apne exams pe focus karna hoga."

Araac's temper began to simmer. "Karishma, doo teen din ki baat hai. Main sab kuch set kar doonga. Tum bas mere saath chalo."

Karishma remained adamant. "Araac, please samjho. Exams ke baad hum kahin bhi ja sakte hain. Abhi ke liye hume padhai pe dhyan dena hoga."

Araac's frustration grew, and his voice took on a hard edge. "Ek baar request kar raha hoon, Karishma. Tum chaho toh hum sirf ek din ke liye bhi chal sakte hai."

Karishma met his gaze steadily. "Nahi, Araac. Hum nahi ja sakte, humare liye, humare exams bahut important hain."

For a moment, the room was filled with tense silence. Araac clenched his fists, fighting to keep his anger in check.

Finally, he exhaled sharply, turning away from her. "Theek hai, Karishma. Tumhare exams important hain. Main samajhta hoon."

Karishma watched him, relief and regret mingling in her heart. "Thank you, Araac. Tumhare support ke liye."

Araac nodded curtly, still struggling with his disappointment. "Main tumhare liye itna sab karta hoon, princess. yeh humesha rakhna."

As he left the room, Karishma sighed deeply, hoping they would find a way to balance their priorities and keep their relationship on stable ground.

The next day, Karishma arrived at the university, only to find a notice on the bulletin board that shocked her to the core: her semester exams had been postponed to next month.

The announcement came out of the blue, and a sinking feeling in her stomach told her Araac had something to do with it.

With a mix of frustration and determination, Karishma decided to confront Araac.

She hurried back home, where she found him calmly sipping coffee in the living room, looking entirely too pleased with himself.

"Araac!" she called out, trying to keep her voice steady. "Yeh exams postpone hone ka kya matlab hai? Itne short notice pe yeh kaise ho sakta hai?"

Araac looked up from his coffee, a smug smile playing on his lips. "Oh, tum aa gayi princess? Chalo ab jaldi se Bag pack karlo, hum Barcelona ja rahe hain vacation ke liye."

Karishma's eyes widened in disbelief. "Araac, yeh sab tumne kiya hai na? Tumne mere exams postpone karwaye hain?"

Araac shrugged nonchalantly, his smile never wavering. "Exams toh postpone ho gaye hain, Princess . Ab is baare mein sochne ka kya faida? Better enjoy the vacation."
