The decision to be together wasn't easy, but it was the only one that made sense. Aanya and Meera couldn't ignore their feelings any longer. Despite the rumors, the pressure from their families, and the scrutiny they faced from the outside world, they chose to fight for each other. But love wasn't enough to make everything perfect.

Their relationship was tested at every turn. Aanya's parents, still reeling from the viral video, were distant and cold whenever she called. Her mother's disapproval hung over every conversation, and her father barely spoke to her at all. It was a weight that Aanya carried every day, the fear that she was losing her family because of her love for Meera.

Meera, too, faced her own challenges. Her friends, though supportive in their way, didn't fully understand the depth of her feelings for Aanya. They made jokes, treated the situation lightly, and Meera often felt like she was caught between two worlds—her carefree life with her friends and the intense, complicated love she shared with Aanya.

There were arguments, misunderstandings, moments where Aanya thought it might be easier to walk away. But every time they fought, every time the tension between them reached its breaking point, they found their way back to each other. Because no matter how hard it was, no matter how much they struggled, the love between them was undeniable.

One evening, after a particularly difficult day, Aanya and Meera sat together on the roof of Aanya's apartment building, the city lights glowing softly in the distance. Aanya leaned her head on Meera's shoulder, feeling the warmth of her body, the steady rhythm of her breathing.

"Do you think we'll ever stop fighting?" Aanya asked quietly, her voice tinged with exhaustion.

Meera was silent for a moment, then she shook her head. "No," she said with a small smile. "But maybe that's okay. Maybe we're supposed to fight sometimes. As long as we keep finding our way back to each other."

Aanya looked up at her, her heart swelling with love and gratitude. "I'm always going to find my way back to you."

Meera's smile softened, and she leaned down to kiss Aanya's forehead, her lips lingering for a moment. "And I'll always be here, waiting."
