The early morning light seeped through the sheer curtains, casting a gentle glow into the room where Priya lay, stirring from her slumber. With a soft yawn, she stretched her limbs, feeling the warmth of the bed enveloping her.

As Priya rose from the comfort of the bed, her gaze wandered to the glass door leading to the balcony, drawn by the subtle movement beyond. With each step, the cool wooden floor beneath her feet provided a stark contrast to the warmth of the blankets she left behind.

Pushing aside the curtains, Priya stepped out onto the balcony, greeted by the crisp morning air that danced around her. There, seated in quiet contemplation, was Ram, his figure illuminated by the soft hues of the rising sun.

With quiet steps, Priya joined him, feeling the coolness of the morning air against her skin. She slid into the space beside him, the warmth of his presence immediately enveloping her. Their eyes met, and in that fleeting moment, a silent understanding passed between them.

Priya reached out, her hand finding its place on Ram's arm, the strength and comfort of his touch grounding her. As she leaned her head against his shoulder, she felt a sense of calm wash over her—a feeling of belonging that she had never experienced before.

Ram turned to her, his eyes soft and tender, a small smile playing on his lips. With a gentle motion, he brushed his lips against her forehead, his touch conveying a depth of affection beyond words. "Good morning," he murmured, his voice barely above a whisper, yet filled with warmth and love.

In that tranquil moment, as they sat together, bathed in the soft light of dawn, Priya felt a sense of peace settle over her. She knew that she was exactly where she was meant to be—in the arms of the man she loved,

As the morning sun continued to rise, casting its warm rays across the balcony, Priya and Ram found themselves engrossed in a heartfelt conversation. Priya's question hung in the air, filled with a sense of curiosity and longing for the future

Now What We Gonna Do Ryan?. She Asked 

With a thoughtful expression, Ram considered her words, the weight of his response evident in his solemn gaze. "What do you want to do?" he echoed, his voice carrying a hint of introspection.

Priya's reply was simple yet profound, spoken with a sincerity that echoed the depth of her feelings. "I want to stay with you," she confessed, her words carrying a sense of vulnerability and longing. "Why don't you come with me to India?"

But Ram's response held a poignant truth, a reflection of the unwavering bond between a mother and her child. "I can't," he admitted, his voice tinged with regret. "I can't leave Mom here. She's all I have, and it's the same for her. She gave me a second life, and for the rest of mine, I'll do whatever I can for her."

Priya's heart swelled with understanding, realizing the depth of Ram's commitment to his mother. Yet, amidst the gravity of his words, there lingered a mystery—a shadow of the past that remained unspoken.

"W-what do you mean by second life?" Priya inquired, her curiosity piqued by the cryptic mention of an accident. Ram's admission only deepened the intrigue, leaving unanswered questions lingering in the air.

"Yeah, I didn't have a chance to tell you, Priya," Ram confessed, his tone tinged with a mixture of uncertainty and resolve. "I had an accident—the mark you saw last night. But don't ask me more. I really don't know how it happened or what I was before that."

Priya's laughter danced through the air, a gentle melody that softened the weight of their conversation. "I won't," she assured him, her eyes filled with understanding and acceptance. "Don't worry."

And in that quiet moment, amidst the backdrop of the waking world, Priya and Ram found comfprt in each other's presence—a bond forged not only by shared experiences but also by the unspoken truths that bound them together.

Ram broke the tranquil atmosphere with a gentle reminder of the passing time. "We can't stay here like this all day, I guess," he remarked, his voice carrying a sense of inevitability.

Priya's response was tinged with reluctance, a hint of sadness creeping into her tone. "Do you want to leave already?" she inquired, her eyes searching his for reassurance.

Ram's reply came with a mixture of regret and determination. "No, I have to go to the office," he explained, his words weighted with the burden of responsibility. "But we can meet in the evening."

The realization of their impending separation weighed heavily on Priya's heart, her thoughts already drifting to the following day. "But, Ryan, I am leaving tomorrow," she protested, her voice tinged with a hint of desperation. "How can you leave me today?"

Ram's expression softened, his gaze meeting hers with unwavering sincerity. "It's urgent, Priya," he explained, his words carrying a sense of urgency. "I gotta go."

In that moment, the conflicting demands of duty and desire hung in the air, a poignant reminder of the complexities of their situation. As Priya grappled with the impending separation, Ram prepared to face the responsibilities that awaited him.

With a glimmer of hope in her eyes, Priya proposed a simple yet meaningful gesture: sharing breakfast together before parting ways. Ram, touched by her suggestion, agreed with a gentle nod, promising to join her after freshening up.

As Ram retreated to the washroom to prepare for the day ahead, Priya seized the opportunity to order their breakfast, her heart swelling with anticipation at the prospect of a final meal together.

With a sense of purpose, Priya deliberated over the menu, selecting her favorite dishes with care. 

In the tender embrace of the breakfast table, Priya and Ram found themselves enveloped in a romantic moment, their connection deepening with each passing glance and shared smile.

As they indulged in their morning meal, their conversation danced between topics, punctuated by laughter and lingering gazes. With each bite, they savored not only the flavors but also the warmth of each other's presence.

Amidst the gentle chatter, Ram's eyes caught sight of a faint chocolate stain at the corner of Priya's lips. Unable to resist the urge, he reached out and gently brushed his thumb across her lips, a tender caress that sent a thrill through both of them.

Their eyes locked in a silent exchange, a wordless understanding passing between them. In that moment, Priya's heart fluttered with anticipation as Ram leaned in, his lips brushing against hers in a sweet and tender kiss.

The taste of chocolate lingered on their lips as they pulled away, a lingering reminder of the intimacy they shared.

Lost in the moment, Priya reached out to gently caress Ram's hand, her touch sending a rush of warmth through his veins. Their eyes met in a silent exchange of understanding, their hearts beating in synchrony as they reveled in the magic of their connection.

In that intimate embrace, amidst the clatter of cutlery and the hum of conversation,their bond forged in the simple moments of shared affection and unspoken love.

With a final, lingering kiss pressed to her forehead, Ram reluctantly pulled away, his heart heavy with the weight of their parting. As he turned to leave, he cast one last glance over his shoulder, imprinting the memory of Priya's radiant smile and the echo of their shared moments onto his soul.

And as the door closed behind him, leaving Priya alone with her thoughts and memories, she couldn't help but carry the warmth of their embrace with her, a silent promise of their love that would endure across the miles until they were reunited once more.
