Where the Sky Begins

The first time I met him was nothing short of a cliché. Just like in a scene from a romantic drama, I fell straight into his arms, and the moment my gaze locked with his obsidian eyes, I was utterly lost in them.

There was a rare innocence in his gaze that disarmed me. To me, he seemed breathtaking, so different, so unlike anyone I had ever known.

After that, we kept colliding with each other as if fate itself refused to let us drift apart. I, Kainaat Chauhan, the girl who believed men were nothing more than a thorn in life, somehow found myself drawn to a boy younger than me.

At first, I was only amused by his accommodating nature, the way he said yes to everything. That lack of boundaries seemed almost amusing at first, but as time passed, I realized it wasn't amusing at all.

I couldn't explain why fury rose in me whenever someone used him as a stepping stone. All I knew was that I wanted to protect him, to care for him, to comfort him - to love him.

But was I the right choice? A girl who had run away from her home, hiding from her own family like a criminal simply because she chose freedom.

Was I truly good enough for him? Would it be fair to drag him into my chaos when he already carried enough burdens of his own?

A simple love story of two broken souls who find wholeness together.
