The bright Abu Dhabi sun gleamed over the crystal-clear water as the family gathered at the beach for an adventurous day of jet skiing. Laughter filled the air as everyone donned their gear and prepared for the thrill of the ride.

Samira, dressed in a sleek, dark green swimsuit, stepped out of the changing area, her loose hair cascading down her back and her eyes sparkling with excitement. She looked graceful yet bold, and without intending to, she captured Ahan's full attention.
He couldn't help but admire how the vibrant she looks, each step she takes in that swimsuit reflects her confidence today.

Ahan tried to shake off his sudden awareness. Focus, he told himself." Just attraction, its just hormones, nothing more".
But no matter how much he reminded himself, his gaze kept drifting back to her, as if caught by a magnetic pull.

They paired up for jet skiing, and as luck would have it, Samira and Ahan were together. She hesitated for a moment as they mounted the jet ski, the thrill of the water mingling with a touch of nervousness.

"Relax, Samira," Ahan said, his voice gentle but firm. "I'm right here."

She nodded, but her heart raced as they glided through the waves. It wasn't long before a sudden jolt in the water sent her off-balance, and she nearly toppled over. Before she could even cry out, Ahan's arm wrapped around her waist, steadying her. She felt his warm breath against her ear as he whispered, "I've got you. You're safe with me."

Everything blurred around Samira..it's just Ahan and herself on the jet-ski board.
The sound of his words, so soft yet reassuring, caused a flurry of emotions within her. His closeness was intoxicating, and she felt her cheeks flush as he held her securely. The moment was brief, but in that instant, nothing else existed but the feeling of his protective grip and the soothing tone of his voice.

He pulled her close as they rode, his hand firm around her waist, guiding them through the waves. Samira's initial nervousness faded, replaced by a strange sense of peace, as if everything she needed was right there with her.

"Enjoying it now?" Ahan murmured softly, close to her ear.

"Yes," she whispered back, a smile spreading on her face. For the first time in a while, she felt truly present, and her heart beat just a little faster.

Ahan's eyes softened, though he kept his expression neutral, not wanting to show the turmoil within him. But he couldn't ignore the gentle tug on his heart. This closeness, her warmth-it felt right, more natural than he'd expected.
He felt good being close to her, he wanted to look at her, keep her close. But something within him stops him from doing so.

As they pulled back onto the shore, he released her, yet something about the moment lingered between them, as if they'd shared something beyond just the thrill of the ride. Samira looked back at Ahan, her expression a mix of wonder and curiosity, mirroring the quiet storm in his own eyes.

Just as she began to turn away, he muttered under his breath, "Not just attraction...its something else."

She looked back at him, as if sensing the unspoken words, but he quickly busied himself with the jet ski, avoiding her gaze. But that moment had already created an unbreakable link-a small spark, subtle yet powerful-that neither of them could brush aside.
As she muttered "I know it's..love maybe..I I don't know about him but..for me it's not attraction, not hormones, not just liking it's way more." And went back to enjoy with the rest of the family members.
