17 capítulos Em andamento MaduroIn a conservative South Indian college, a 27-year-old lecturer and a 19-year-old student from a traditional family navigate a forbidden love.
Their journey is filled with romance, jealousy, passion, and anger as they battle societal norms and their own emotions, leading to moments of intense connection and heart-wrenching conflicts.
Their eyes met, and the world around them seemed to fade. For a moment, it was just the two of them, the music, and the unspoken connection between them.
"Sir, this is..." she began, but he cut her off.
"Arjun," he said softly. "Just Arjun tonight."
Her lips parted in surprise, but she nodded. "Okay... Arjun.
"You look beautiful tonight," he murmured, his voice so soft she almost didn't hear him.
Her breath hitched, and she felt her cheeks grow warm. "Thank you... Arjun."
He smiled at her use of his name, and for a moment, they forgot about their surroundings.
As the song ended, there was a brief shuffle on the dance floor as students moved around. In the commotion, someone bumped into Ananya, causing her to lose her balance. Arjun instinctively reached out to steady her, pulling her close.
The sudden movement brought their faces mere inches apart. Before either of them could process what was happening, their lips brushed in a fleeting, accidental kiss.
Time seemed to freeze. Ananya's eyes widened in shock, while Arjun's grip on her waist tightened slightly before he quickly stepped back.
"I... I didn't mean to-" he began, his voice filled with panic.
"It's okay," she interrupted, her face flushed with embarrassment and something she couldn't quite name.
They glanced around, relieved to see that no one had noticed the incident.
"Maybe we should... step outside for some fresh air," Arjun suggested, his composure barely intact.
Ananya nodded, following him out to the garden area, where the cool night air helped calm their racing hearts.
