The morning sun streamed through the window, casting a warm glow on Ria's face. She glanced at her phone, a small smile playing on her lips as she reread John's message. His words were like a balm to her heart, soothing the pain of the distance between them.

As she got ready for school, Ria couldn't shake the feeling of unease. The thought of her family's disapproval hung heavy in the air. She knew they were protective of her, and the idea of her falling for a boy she had only met online was terrifying.

At school, Ria tried to focus on her studies, but her mind kept wandering back to John. She missed his laughter, his gentle touch, and the way he made her feel so special. She longed to be with him, to hold him in her arms and never let go.

That evening, as Ria lay in bed, staring up at the ceiling, she couldn't help but feel a sense of hopelessness. The distance between her and John seemed insurmountable. She knew she had to face the reality of their situation, but her heart wasn't ready to give up on their love.

Just as she was about to drift off to sleep, her phone buzzed. It was a message from John. "I've been thinking about you all day. I miss you more than words can say."

Ria's heart swelled with joy. She replied, "I miss you too. I've been dreaming of the day we can be together."

As she closed her eyes, Ria imagined a future with John. A future filled with laughter, love, and endless possibilities. But she knew that before they could reach that future, they would have to overcome the challenges that lay ahead.
