After the incident with the Instagram post, Nirvaan needed some space to sort through his thoughts and emotions. He didn't speak to Ruhani for a week, using the time to reflect on their relationship and the challenges they were facing. Meanwhile, Ruhani grew increasingly anxious and distraught over the silence. She missed him and feared that her actions had irreparably damaged their relationship.
One evening, overwhelmed by her emotions, Ruhani decided to call Nirvaan. Her voice was shaky as she spoke, tears evident in her words.
Ruhani (on the phone):
"Nirvaan, please... can we talk? I can't stand this silence anymore. I'm so sorry for everything..."But before she could finish, Nirvaan cut the call. His abruptness made her anxiety spike, and she began to cry harder, feeling helpless and alone. She couldn't understand why he was shutting her out completely.
As she sat on her bed, sobbing, the doorbell rang. Startled, she wiped her tears and went to answer it. To her surprise, it was Nirvaan. His face was calm, but his eyes were filled with concern. Without a word, he stepped inside and wrapped his arms around her in a comforting embrace. Ruhani melted into his arms, feeling a wave of relief wash over her.
After a few moments, Nirvaan gently pulled back and looked into her eyes. He led her to the couch, where they both sat down. Taking a deep breath, he began to speak, his tone calm and steady.
Nirvaan:
"Ruhani, I'm sorry for not talking to you for the past week. I needed some time to think and process everything. But seeing you like this, I couldn't stay away any longer."Ruhani sniffled, trying to compose herself. "I thought you were done with me," she whispered, her voice shaky.
Nirvaan shook his head. "No, I'm not done with you. But we need to talk about a few things, and I need you to really listen, okay?"
Ruhani nodded, wiping her eyes.
Nirvaan:
"Ruhani, you're an amazing person. You're talented, kind, and caring. But sometimes, you let your insecurities get the best of you. I understand that everyone has their moments, but you can't let them control your life or our relationship."He paused, taking her hand in his. "I want you to be confident in yourself, in what you do. You're an incredible fashion designer with a great future ahead of you. Focus on that, on your strengths and passions. Don't let doubts and low self-esteem hold you back."
Ruhani looked down, tears still glistening in her eyes. "It's just... hard sometimes. Seeing you with other women, the way people talk about you... it makes me feel insecure."
Nirvaan nodded, understanding her perspective. "I get that, and I want you to know that I'm here for you. But you need to trust me and, more importantly, trust yourself. I'm with you because I want to be with you, not anyone else. But I can't constantly reassure you of that; you need to believe it yourself."
He squeezed her hand gently. "Ruhani, you need to find that confidence within. Focus on the things that make you happy, the things you're good at. Don't compare yourself to others. You're unique, and that's what makes you special."
Ruhani looked up at him, her eyes filled with a mixture of sadness and hope. "I... I'll try. I know I need to work on myself. It's just... I care about you so much, and I don't want to lose you."
Nirvaan smiled softly. "You won't lose me, Ruhani. But we need to have a healthy relationship based on trust and mutual respect. We both have our lives and careers, and we need to support each other in that. Let's work on this together, okay?"
Ruhani nodded, a small smile forming on her lips. "Okay. Thank you, Nirvaan, for being patient with me. I'll do my best."
They sat there for a while longer, talking and reassuring each other. Nirvaan's words had a calming effect on Ruhani, helping her see things more clearly. She knew it wouldn't be easy, but she was determined to work on her insecurities and build a stronger foundation for their relationship.
As Nirvaan left that evening, they both felt a sense of renewed hope. It was a difficult conversation, but a necessary one. They understood that relationships required effort, understanding, and compromise. With a commitment to support each other and address their challenges, they were ready to move forward, one step at a time.

Nirvaan's Support and Ruhani's Journey------
Seeing Ruhani struggle with her insecurities and anxiety was difficult for Nirvaan. He cared deeply for her and wanted to see her thrive, not just for their relationship but for her own well-being. During one of their conversations, Nirvaan gently suggested, "Ruhani, I think it might help if you tried therapy. You've been having these anxiety episodes, and talking to someone could really make a difference. I'll go with you if you want; you're not alone in this."
Ruhani looked hesitant but eventually nodded. "Okay, Nirvaan. I'll give it a try if you think it will help."
True to his word, Nirvaan accompanied Ruhani to all her therapy sessions. He sat in the waiting room, offering his silent support and being there for her afterward to talk through her thoughts and feelings. His encouragement never wavered, and he made sure she knew she could lean on him. It was a challenging time, but Nirvaan's presence provided a steady anchor for Ruhani.
During her fashion shows, Nirvaan would call her before and after, offering words of encouragement. "You've got this, Ruhani. You're amazing at what you do. Just go out there and shine." His support meant the world to her, and she felt more confident knowing he believed in her. He also made sure to surprise her with her favorite strawberry cakes, a small gesture that always lifted her mood and made her feel cherished.
Ruhani's love for Nirvaan deepened. She was madly in love with him, appreciating the way he stood by her side and supported her through everything. His kindness and thoughtfulness made her feel special and loved. However, for Nirvaan, these gestures were expressions of care he would extend to anyone he loved. It was his nature to be supportive and kind to those close to him.
While Nirvaan did feel a strong connection with Ruhani, he realized that his feelings were rooted in friendship and concern. He genuinely cared for her well-being and wanted to see her happy, but he didn't feel the romantic spark that Ruhani did. For him, these acts of kindness and support were natural expressions of his affection for a friend, not necessarily a romantic partner.
As they continued spending time together, Nirvaan found himself at a crossroads. He valued Ruhani's friendship and enjoyed her company, but he couldn't ignore the fact that his feelings for her weren't as deep as hers for him. He knew that at some point, he would need to address this with her, but for now, he focused on being there for her, helping her through her anxiety and supporting her career.
In the meantime, Ruhani was grateful for Nirvaan's presence in her life. His support made her feel more confident and capable, and she continued to work on herself, both personally and professionally. The journey wasn't easy, but with Nirvaan by her side, she felt she could overcome any challenge.
