The days that followed were a whirlwind of stolen glances, whispered conversations, and secret rendezvous. Tavni and Vishnu, bound by their forbidden love, navigated the delicate balance between their hearts and the constraints of their circumstances.

They found solace in the quiet corners of the school library, where they would lose themselves in books, their fingers occasionally brushing against each other, sending shivers down their spines. During lunch breaks, they would exchange cryptic notes, their hearts pounding with anticipation as they awaited each other's response.
One afternoon, as they sat on a bench overlooking the school courtyard, Vishnu pulled out a small notebook.

"I've been writing poems," he confessed, a blush creeping across his cheeks. "I wanted to share one with you."

Tavni's eyes widened with surprise and delight. She eagerly accepted the notebook and began to read. The words flowed effortlessly, capturing the essence of their forbidden love. As she reached the end, she looked up at Vishnu, her eyes filled with tears.

Dil mein chhupti hai, sharmili si nazrein,

Dil ko chu jati hai, teri khamoshi mein.

Teri har ada, har ehsaas,

Ne banaya hai mujhe, tera deewana, tere paas.

Translation:

Hidden within the heart, are shy glances,

My heart is touched by your silence.

Your every gesture, every feeling,

Has made me your lover, forever appealing.

"It's beautiful," she whispered, her voice choked with emotion. "Thank you."

Vishnu smiled. "I'm glad you like it. I wrote it for you."

As the days turned into weeks, their love deepened. They spent countless hours talking on the phone, their voices the only sound breaking the silence of the night. They shared their dreams, their fears, and their hopes for the future.

However, the weight of their secret began to take its toll. They longed to be together openly, to hold hands in public, to introduce each other to their families. But they knew that such a dream was far from reality.

One evening, as they sat on a park bench, the stars twinkling above them, Tavni broke the silence. "I can't do this anymore," she confessed, her voice trembling. "It's too painful."

Vishnu's heart ached. He knew what she was going through. "I know," he said, taking her hand. "But we have to be strong. We have to find a way."

They discussed their options, weighing the pros and cons of each. They could continue their secret relationship, hoping that one day their families would accept them. Or they could end it all, cutting the cord that bound them together.

In the end, they decided to take a leap of faith. They would continue their relationship, but they would also start planning for their future. They would work hard, save money, and one day, they would be able to build a life together, far away from the prying eyes of their families and society.
