Milan ka weather thoda thanda tha… par Anaya ke andar excitement aur pressure dono saath chal rahe the.
Uska naam ab industry me circulate hone laga tha. Interviews. Reels. Mentions. Fashion blogs me features.
Luca har jagah uske saath tha. Professional. Respectful. Par present.
London me Aarav apni company ko international pitch de raha tha. Meetings back-to-back. Investors strict. Competition tough.
Time difference ne unke calls ko routine bana diya tha.
Ek raat—
Anaya ne video call kiya.
"Guess what? My collection is shortlisted for International Spotlight."
Aarav genuinely smile kiya.
"I'm proud of you."
Par call ke beech me hi usko urgent investor call aa gaya.
"Can I call you back?"
Anaya ne haan kaha…
Par wo call kabhi wapas nahi aaya.
Agli subah social media par Anaya aur Luca ki rehearsal picture viral thi.
Caption: "Power Duo of the Season."
London me coffee table par phone rakha tha.
Aarav ne post dekha.
Comments scroll kiye.
Ek comment pe ruk gaya—
"Are they dating?"
Usne phone side me rakha.
Dil me halka sa doubt…
aur thoda sa distance aur badh gaya.
