Aaliya was always the kind of girl who had her priorities straight. In a world where her classmates giggled over crushes and exchanged fleeting romances, she stood apart-grounded, determined, and immune to distractions. Love was a word she rarely entertained, and the playful advances of her peers were nothing more than background noise to her.
In the classroom, she commanded respect with her sharp wit and unwavering focus. One such day, while she playfully drew a parrot on the blackboard, a boy's teasing voice interrupted her peace. She brushed him off, as she did with anyone who dared cross her boundaries. To Aaliya, such moments were trivial, unworthy of her time.
But life has a way of threading connections in the most unexpected ways. When she joined a new coaching class to catch up with her studies, she locked eyes with a boy whose gaze lingered a little too long. His eyes weren't playful or mocking-they carried something deeper, something unspoken. He watched her as if he already knew her, as if her presence answered a question he had never dared to ask aloud.
Aaliya didn't dwell on it. For her, he was just another face in a crowded room. But little did she know, that single shared moment would plant a seed of something extraordinary-something she wasn't yet ready to name.
This is not just a story of love. It is a tale of timing, resilience, and the quiet moments that shape the paths of two hearts destined to collide.
