The days that followed were a storm of emotions. Leila tried to distance herself, fearing theconsequences of their love, but Arman was persistent. He refused to let the fear of judgment standin the way of what he knew was real.
Their love became a secret, shared only in the quiet moments of the bookstore or during their stolenwalks. The world outside seemed oblivious, yet both knew that this fragile peace couldn't lastforever.Leila's fears began to consume her.
She had lived long enough to know the pain of losing love, andthe thought of seeing Arman suffer because of her was unbearable. One evening, she decided to endtheir affair, believing it was the best for both of them."Arman," she whispered, her voice breaking, "this has to stop. We're from different worlds, andwhat we have... it can't last."
But Arman wouldn't let go. He took her hands, his eyes pleading. "Leila, love doesn't follow rules.It doesn't care about age or the past. I love you, and I'm willing to fight for us, no matter what theworld thinks."Leila's resolve crumbled in the face of his love. She had never known a love so pure, so willing todefy the world. And so, they decided to face whatever came their way, together.
Poetry:
"In the battle of hearts, where fear resides,
Love stands firm, where courage abides.
In every tear, in every fight,
They find their way, in love's pure light."
