I Never Meant This

Asha Patel doesn't believe in fate. She believes in choices, independence, and staying in control of her life. Love, in her opinion, is unpredictable and rarely lasts.

Morris Kendi believes in even less.

After a past relationship left him guarded, he keeps people at a safe distance, focusing on his work and avoiding anything that looks like emotional attachment.

Yet somehow, life keeps bringing them back together.

A random meeting at a coffee shop.
A missed train that forces them to share a ride.
A party where they discover they know the same people.
Moments that seem too perfectly timed to be accidents.

At first, they laugh it off as coincidence.

But the more their paths cross, the harder it becomes to ignore the strange pull drawing them toward each other. What begins as chance encounters slowly grows into late conversations, shared secrets, and a connection neither of them expected.

Neither Asha nor Morris planned for this.

Neither of them meant to fall in love.

But sometimes the universe has its own plans.

And sometimes, the people we keep running into are the ones we were always meant to find.
