When Jaipur Fell in Love

Priya folds her arms, leaning against the railing as the cool Jaipur breeze brushes past them. Aryan watches her intently, his usual composed demeanor faltering slightly.

Priya (softly): "You know, sometimes I wonder if I truly belong here... in this world of yours."

Aryan (stepping closer): "You belong wherever you choose to be, Priya. And if it were up to me, I'd want you to stay... always."

Priya (meeting his gaze, hesitant): "Aryan... this isn't easy. You have a legacy to uphold, a family to answer to."

Aryan (gently tucking a strand of hair behind her ear): "And what about my heart, Priya? Doesn't that deserve to be heard too?"

Priya's breath hitches as Aryan's fingers linger for a moment longer than necessary. The unspoken emotions between them crackle like electricity, making the night feel even more alive.
