Kritika's pov :-

Next day,

As I woke up my phone beeps, I checked it was Arjun "I will pick you up after your college disposal. "

Huh... Did I read right .

He wants to meet did anything happen.

A bunch of possibilities roams in my mind.

I get ready for college

Lagta hai Aranya aaj bhi college nhi jayegi.

After college,

I saw a wine red Porsche in front of me yeah it is Arjun.

He opened a car door for me,

"Arjun where are you taking me. "

"Um.. It's a secret. "

Author's pov :-

After sometimes,

Arjun led Kritika through the wrought-iron gates of a secluded private garden.

"Kritika, from the moment I met you, I knew you were the one," Arjun said, his voice trembling.

He pulled out a small box, revealing a stunning diamond ring.

"Will you marry me?" Arjun asked.

Tears welled up in Kritika's eyes.

"Arjun, I..." she whispered.

"What's wrong?" Arjun's smile faded.

Kritika took a deep breath.

"I have a heart condition, Arjun. A congenital defect. It's progressing... I don't want to burden you."

Arjun's expression changed from shock to concern.

"What does it mean?" he asked gently.

"I may need a transplant soon. My future's uncertain," Kritika replied, voice barely above a whisper.

Arjun's face fell.

"I don't care about burdens, Kritika. I care about you," he said, his voice cracking.

Kritika's tears flowed freely.

"I love you, Arjun. But I won't marry you. I won't let you sacrifice your life for me."

Arjun's eyes pleaded.

"Don't say that. We'll face this together. We'll find the best doctors, the best treatment."

Kritika's resolve hardened.

"No, Arjun. I've made up my mind. I'll always cherish our memories, but I must let you go."

Arjun's face contorted in anguish as he closed the ring box.

"I'll always love you, Kritika."

Kritika smiled weakly.

"I'll always love you too."

Ananya, exhausted from a long day of college, sinks into a plush cafe chair.

She orders a soothing latte, letting out a contented sigh.

As a science student, her mind is always buzzing with formulas and theories.

This cafe is her sanctuary.

Ananya's thoughts drift to her crush, Abhay.

She's admired him from afar, but hasn't mustered the courage to approach.
