Selfish Desires

    Chapter 5.  

At Singapore,

Arvind leaned back in his chair, sipping on his coffee as he reminisced with his business partner Ashok about days gone by.

They laughed and shared stories of the times when Ashok's family lived in India, and how close Kavya and Ashok's son Akhil were as childhood friends.

"Do you remember how inseparable Kavya and Akhil were?" Arvind chuckled, a hint of nostalgia in his eyes.

Ashok nodded, a smile tugging at the corners of his lips. "Yes, they were like two peas in a pod. Always getting into mischief together."

As they continued to talk, Arvind's mind wandered to a thought that had been niggling at the back of his mind. "You know, Ashok, I can't help but think that Akhil would be a great match for Kavya. They have such a strong bond from their childhood days."

Ashok raised an eyebrow, intrigued by the suggestion. "Hmm, that's an interesting idea. They do get along so well, don't they? It might be worth considering.akhil is wealthy and handling business, Kavya too beautiful.. their social status matched well"

Arvind nodded, a faint smile on his face as he imagined the possibility of Akhil and Kavya finding happiness together. As business partners turned friends, they both knew that sometimes the best matches were the ones that were right in front of you all along.

Kavya stood on the balcony, the fading sun painting the sky in hues of orange and pink. The city’s skyline stretched out before her, the twinkling lights emerging as the day turned into night. It was a breathtaking sight, one that never failed to captivate her.

Arjun appeared beside her, his hands tucked into his pockets as he took in the view. "Quite a sight, isn't it?" he remarked, his voice soft and filled with wonder.

Kavya turned to him, a smile tugging at the corners of her lips. "It's amazing. I could stay out here forever," she replied, her eyes glinting with admiration.

"Then stay here with me" Arjun nodded, his gaze lingering on her before he spoke again. Kavya surprisingly looks at her her heart breathing fast.

"How about we take a walk around the neighborhood? There's a lovely park nearby that looks even more enchanting at night," he suggested, a spark of excitement in his eyes.

Kavya's heart skipped a beat at the offer. "I would love that," she said, her voice filled with anticipation.

As they descended the stairs and stepped out into the cool evening air, Kavya couldn't help but feel a sense of contentment. The streets were quiet, the only sound being their footsteps on the pavement as they strolled along.

Arjun pointed out the different landmarks, sharing stories and memories that made Kavya feel like she was getting to know him on a deeper level. Their laughter filled the air, a connection forming between them that felt natural and easy.

As they reached the park,   a soft glow over the lush greenery, Arjun took Kavya's hand in his. Their fingers intertwined, sending a warmth through her that she couldn’t ignore.

"This is one of my favorite places," Arjun said, his gaze locked with hers. "And now, it's one of my favorite memories too."

Kavya felt her heart swell with emotion, grateful for this moment and the budding relationship she shared with Arjun. As they continued their walk..
