Late at night, I decided to broach a topic with Aryan. "Hey, I've been thinking. What if we take our relationship to the next level?"
Aryan, intrigued, responded, "The next level? Like marriage?"
I chuckled, "No, not that fast. I was actually thinking about a live-in relationship. It's a big step, I know, but it could be interesting. Plus, considering your parents are in Lucknow, it might work out."
Aryan, considering the proposal, said, "Hmm, a live-in. That could save us a lot of money, and I'm up for it."
I smiled, "Great! So, is that a yes then?"
Aryan laughed, "Absolutely. Who'd say no to an offer like this? I'll start shifting my stuff tomorrow. Love you, bae. Good night." The warmth of a virtual kiss followed.
As we embarked on this new phase, the prospect of living together added a layer of excitement to our relationship. The night held promises of change and shared experiences.
Next morning he called me "Hey, Although I sent all my stuff to your house but what will your parents think about us."
I replied "Oh relax Aryan. My parents a way more modern. Ok bye meet you at the office."
Aryan responded "Ok. Bye."
Smiling to myself, I contemplated, "Yes, this is going to be a lot of fun. It's the best way to deal with your enemies, as the proverb says, 'Keep your enemies closer than your friends.'"Little did Aryan know, this decision wasn't just about our relationship; it was a strategic move in the intricate game of life and relationships. As the day unfolded, there was a sense of both excitement and strategic planning in the air. The pieces were in motion, and the players were ready for the next move in this complex game.
