I Still Choose You.

I Still Choose You

He was never meant to be hers.

Mohamed Zayaan-quiet, controlled, untouchable. The kind of man who felt everything but showed nothing.

Ariya-soft, expressive, lost in colors and emotions she couldn't hide.

They met through their best friends.
They fell in love through silence.

It was never loud. Never obvious.
Just stolen glances, almost-confessions... and feelings that grew in the spaces between words.

Until everything fell apart.

One mistake.
One misunderstanding.
One moment that turned love into distance.

And distance into something colder.

Now they're no longer the same people who once found comfort in each other.
Now, they're strangers.
Maybe even enemies.

But some love doesn't disappear.

It lingers.
In the way he still looks at her when she isn't watching.
In the way her heart still chooses him... even when it shouldn't.

And when fate pulls them back together in a city full of memories, they're forced to face the truth they tried to run from:

You can walk away.
You can pretend.
You can break each other into pieces-

...but in the end,

I still choose you.
