A few weeks later, Aarav and I were sitting in my room, studying for our exams, when I realized I was late for my periods. I had been so caught up in our relationship that I hadn't even noticed.

Our love was unexpected, but it was real, and it changed my life forever.

My mother, Jaya, looked at us with a knowing glint in her eye. She had always wanted me to have someone special in my life, and I could sense her happiness.

One day, he came in and asked for my number. "I want to thank you for the best coffee in town," he said, his eyes sparkling.
