Chapter 15
One evening, Arjun met Nandini near the same lake where they often talked.
The sunset painted the sky orange and gold.
"I couldn't have done this without you," he said.
Nandini laughed softly. "You did the hard work."
Arjun hesitated, then spoke honestly,
"When everything was uncertain, you believed in me. Somewhere along the way… you became my strength."
Nandini looked down, smiling.
"I was waiting for you to realize that."
That evening, friendship quietly turned into love.
Neither needed grand promises. Their dreams were already connected.
