Chapter 14: The Heart Always Knows
Meera had spent her whole life second-guessing her emotions.
She analyzed, over analyzed, and convinced herself that love was a trap—a beautiful, painful trap that only ended in heartbreak.
But now, for the first time, she wasn’t thinking.
She was feeling.
And it hurt.
The absence of Aarav felt like a gaping hole in her chest, an ache that wouldn’t go away no matter how much she tried to ignore it.

One evening, she found herself standing outside their café.
The place where everything had changed.
Her heart pounded as she pushed open the door, her eyes scanning the crowd.
He wasn’t there.
Of course, he wasn’t.
Why would he be?
She sighed, feeling foolish, and turned to leave.
But just as she reached the door, she froze.
Because there he was.
Aarav.
Walking in, looking just as devastatingly handsome as ever, but different.
Colder.
His eyes met hers, and for a second, something flickered in them—something unreadable.
Then, just like that, he walked past her.
Like she was a stranger.
Like she meant nothing.
Meera felt the sting of it deep in her chest.
She turned, watching him take a seat at the far end of the café.
He didn’t even glance at her.
And suddenly, she realized—this was what it felt like to lose him.
To truly lose him.
And she couldn’t let that happen.
Not anymore.
