Tangled Desires

The first time it happened, it felt like a mistake. A mistake neither of them were ready to admit. They were young-15 and 16-so who could blame them?

Shubman looked at Asvi from across the room. "Yaar, yeh sab humne galti se kiya tha, right?" His words were half-joking, half-serious.

Asvi laughed, though it was empty, as if the laughter was a mask for the emotions she couldn't bring herself to face. "Haan, bilkul. Hum sirf friends the, aur bas..." She paused, her words trailing off as if trying to convince herself. But deep down, she knew it wasn't just a mistake anymore.

Years later...

Shubman was now dating Sara, the daughter of Sachin Tendulkar. His career was soaring, his name known across the world. But every time he held Sara's hand, his thoughts wandered back to Asvi. No matter how much he tried to ignore it, there was something about her that wouldn't let him go.

The story would explore their complicated dynamic, with both of them struggling to keep their emotions in check while the bond they share grows stronger. Shubman's relationship with Sara would serve as a catalyst for both their confusion and jealousy. The Hindi-English mix would reflect their cultural identity and add authenticity to their conversations.
