The weeks that followed were like a dream. Anushka and Kabir became inseparable, spending every moment they could together. From study sessions to sports practices, they were each other's biggest supporters. Kabir, with his quiet strength and patience, helped Anushka through her careless moments, while Anushka's bubbly personality brought out a side of Kabir that few people ever saw.
Even Rahul, who had once been Anushka's biggest enemy, noticed the change. Though their rivalry still existed, it had softened. Anushka no longer saw Rahul as a crush but as a friend—a small, albeit annoying, part of her life. Kabir never showed any signs of jealousy, trusting Anushka completely.
Suhani, too, was by Anushka's side, teasing her about Kabir but always cheering her on. Their friendship remained intact, and Anushka was grateful for the love and understanding they had for each other.
One afternoon, as they walked hand-in-hand through the school gardens, Anushka glanced up at Kabir, her heart filled with warmth.
"So," she said playfully, "what's next for us, Mr. Second Topper of the class?"
Kabir smirked, giving her a sideways glance. "Well, Miss Topper of Biology, I was thinking we could rule the world."
Anushka laughed, leaning into him as they walked. "Sounds like a plan."
Together, they had faced misunderstandings, unspoken feelings, and the challenges of teenage love. But now, they were stronger than ever, ready to face whatever came next.
And for the first time in a long time, Anushka knew she was exactly where she was meant to be—by Kabir's side.
