Not Ours, Yet Ours

The morning sun streamed through the window, casting a golden glow in Ujasha's room. She paced back and forth, her heart racing as she held her phone, replaying the conversation she had just had with her sister, Pariksha.

"Congratulations, didi! You're going to the IMA in January! This is such a big deal!"
"Thanks, Pariksha. I knew I can do it!"
The excitement in her sister's voice faded into the background as a wave of anxiety washed over Ujasha. She had just begun to explore her feelings for Suryansh, and now she was faced with the prospect of leaving him behind.
Ujasha collapsed onto her bed, burying her face in her hands.
"I didn't expect this to happen so soon. We just started... what if he doesn't want to wait for me? What if he ends things?"
The thought struck her like a lightning bolt. Her first love felt so precious, yet it was now entangled in uncertainty. The idea of stepping into a new chapter at the IMA brought a mix of pride and fear, and the weight of leaving Suryansh behind felt unbearable.
Anay enters the room.

"Surprise Gadhi!" He chirped.

"Hey, Ujasha! You okay?" He asked noticing lack of her acknowledgement and face down.

Ujasha looked up, her eyes glistening with unshed tears. Anay was her confidant, always able to sense when something was amiss.

"I got the call, Anay. I'm going to IMA. But I don't know how to tell Suryansh. I don't want to lose him."
Anay sat beside her, placing a comforting hand on her shoulder.
"It's going to be tough, but you need to be honest with him. He deserves to know."
Ujasha nodded, feeling the turmoil within her swirl like a storm.
"But what if he doesn't understand? What if he thinks I'm choosing the academy over him?"
Anay took a deep breath, choosing his words carefully.
"Love is about understanding, Ujasha. If he truly cares for you, he'll want what's best for you. But you need to communicate. Just be open about your feelings."
Ujasha wiped away a stray tear, feeling the weight of Anay's advice settle over her.
After a long silence, she finally spoke.
"You're right. I need to tell him. And if he wants to end things, I'll respect his choice. I can't force him to wait for me."
Anay nodded, impressed by her resolve.
"Just be honest and tell him how you feel. You can do this, Ujasha."
As Ujasha prepared to reach out to Suryansh, her heart thudded in her chest.
"I just hope he understands." She thought to herself.

Suryansh sat alone in his room, the silence pressing down on him. He hadn't picked up Ujasha's calls that day; he needed space to think.
"Why did she call me? What's going on?"
His mind was a jumble of emotions- confusion, sadness, and a lingering sense of fear about the budding relationship.
As Ujasha's name flashed on his screen again, he hesitated before answering, but the anxiety and frustration of the day weighed heavily on him.
"Ujasha, can we talk later? I'm not really in the mood right now."
"Please, Suryansh. It's important."
He heard the urgency in her voice, but something in him felt reluctant.
"I just need some time."
With that, he ended the call abruptly, leaving Ujasha feeling disheartened and alone.

Later that evening, Ujasha finally gathered the courage to send him a message.
"Suryansh, I got a call today. I've been accepted into IMA for January. I need to talk to you about it. Can we meet?"
Her heart raced as she hit send, knowing that this was the moment that could change everything.

The next day, Ujasha waited nervously outside their favorite coffee shop. The sun shone brightly, but it did little to warm the chill of apprehension in her heart. She looked at her phone repeatedly, waiting for Suryansh's arrival.
When he finally appeared, she noticed a mix of emotions etched across his face—sadness, confusion, and something she couldn't quite place.
"Hey...", He greeted.
"Hey, thanks for coming." She said, eyes sticking to the floor.
They exchanged awkward pleasantries, the atmosphere heavy with unspoken words.
"I... I got your message." He began.
Ujasha took a deep breath, her heart pounding.
"I need to explain. I'm going to the IMA, and I understand if you want to end things. I really like you, but I can't ask you to wait for me."
Suryansh's expression shifted, and Ujasha felt a mixture of hope and dread.
"Ujasha, I-"---Suddenly, he turned abruptly, his eyes reflecting a whirlwind of emotions.
"Wait! Please don't go!"
But Suryansh walked away, leaving Ujasha standing there, her heart shattered, and her thoughts swirling with uncertainty.
As she watched him disappear into the distance, Ujasha felt tears prick at the corners of her eyes, her heart heavy with despair.
"What will he say when he comes back? Does he really want to end this?" Ujasha felt her last hope shattering.
The uncertainty loomed over her like a dark cloud, and the silence that followed felt deafening.
