Sometimes, love stories begin long before two people even realise it. 

Back in school, they existed in the same universe without ever truly colliding. She knew him only as “that notorious boy,"  the one teachers constantly complained about, the one always pulling pranks, making noise, and somehow turning every ordinary day into a story.  Ashu moved through school like a storm, while she remained untouched by the chaos he carried with him. 

​

Years passed, classrooms disappeared, uniforms turned into memories, and life quietly moved on. Then, out of nowhere, a simple reconnection changed everything. Conversations that began casually soon became addictive  effortless late-night talks, teasing banter, and a comfort that neither of them expected to find in someone so familiar yet entirely new.

​

She discovered there was far more to him than the mischievous reputation he once carried. Beneath the humour and restlessness was someone deeply caring, fiercely loyal, and unexpectedly soft in all the right places. And for Ashu, the girl who had once blended into the background slowly became the centre of his world. 

​

Maybe their story never needed a school-time romance. Maybe it was always meant to happen later — when they had grown enough to recognise that sometimes, the right person has been somewhere in your story all along.
