An Incomplete emotional Love Story.
An Incomplete emotional Love Story
---
Introduction:
Every love story has an end, but some stories remain incomplete – not because love fades away, but because life takes a turn where hearts break, yet love never dies. This is one such story of two people whose love was deep, true, and timeless... yet, incomplete.

The Beginning…
It all started on a busy street in Delhi, on the first day of college. Aarav saw Ananya for the first time — simple, graceful, and with eyes that seemed to hide a thousand unsaid emotions. He didn’t know then that this meeting would change his life forever.
The initial days passed casually — group projects, casual jokes, and awkward conversations. But slowly, something began to grow. Ananya, who was once shy and quiet, started opening up to Aarav. And Aarav, the joker of the class, found himself falling for her sincerity and silence.

The Confession…
On a chilly winter morning in their third semester, while sitting alone in the college canteen, Aarav finally said it:
"Ananya, I think I’m falling in love with you."
Ananya looked down for a few seconds. Her eyes welled up, but a soft smile appeared on her face. After a pause, she whispered, "I think I’ve gotten used to you too... maybe this is love."
From that day forward, their world changed. They shared everything — from morning texts to late-night calls. Dreams were built together — of a small house, weekend road trips, and growing old by each other’s side.

The Turn of Time…
Four years passed quickly. Now came the time for jobs and real life. Aarav got a great offer in Mumbai, and Ananya was placed in Kolkata. Distance arrived, but their love stayed strong — or so they thought.
The initial months of long-distance were filled with excitement — video calls, plans to meet, hopes of a future together. But slowly, things began to shift. The calls became less frequent, replies started getting delayed, and conversations turned shorter.
And then, one evening, Ananya said something that shattered everything:
"Aarav… my parents are fixing my marriage. I tried saying no, but I can’t go against them. My father’s health isn’t good... and he just wants to see me settled."
Aarav was speechless.
"What about us?" he asked, his voice trembling.
Ananya broke into tears, "I tried... I really did. But I can’t let them suffer because of my decisions."

The Goodbye…
Ananya got married. Aarav wasn’t invited. He didn’t expect to be.
He stopped visiting the old places they once hung out at. He deleted their pictures, but not from his heart. Friends told him to move on — that he deserved better, that time heals everything.
But how do you forget someone who was once your whole world?
Every song reminded him of her, every winter breeze whispered her name. He was a man alive on the outside, but hollow inside.

Years Later…
Five years passed.
Aarav became a successful software engineer. He had everything — money, respect, freedom — but not peace. He never married. Every girl he met reminded him of what he had lost.
One evening, his phone rang. An unknown number. He picked it up.
"Hello... Aarav? It’s me, Ananya."
His heart stopped. Her voice still had that same softness, that familiar ache.
"How are you?" she asked.
"I don’t know... still breathing," he replied, trying to sound normal.
She was quiet for a moment, then said, "I’m divorced now. That marriage... it was never real. I tried, but my heart never left you."
Aarav couldn’t speak. His hands trembled.
"I know I’m late, Aarav," she said, her voice cracking. "But I just wanted to know... do I still have a place in your heart?"

The Unfinished Ending…
Aarav took a deep breath.
"Yes, the place is still there... untouched. But the heart that held it is tired now, Ananya. It doesn’t have the strength to wait anymore."
There was silence. Not the kind that comes from anger or regret — but one that holds years of unspoken love, pain, and acceptance.
Tears rolled down both their cheeks — in two different cities, but from the same wound.

Conclusion:
Some love stories don’t end with a "happily ever after". They end with silence, memories, and the quiet pain of knowing it could’ve been different.
Aarav and Ananya’s story wasn’t a failure. It was love in its purest form — selfless, real, and eternal. They didn’t fight the world; they just bowed down to the circumstances.
Not every story is meant to reach its destination. Some are written only to remind us that love isn’t always about possession — sometimes, it’s about letting go.
And maybe, just maybe, the most beautiful love stories... are the ones that remain unfinished.
