Chapter 2 - The Unspoken Heart

Aaradhya's friendly nature had always been her charm. She effortlessly made friends with everyone around her, including the new students in school. Rohan, however, couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy every time he saw her laughing and chatting with other guys.

Despite his feelings, Rohan remained calm and composed, not wanting to ruin their relationship by being possessive. But it was getting harder for him to see Aaradhya being so carefree and flirtatious with others. He felt like he was losing her, like she was slipping away from him.

Aaradhya, on the other hand, was oblivious to Rohan's concerns. She enjoyed the attention and affection from her new friends, including two guys who had recently confessed their feelings to her. She didn't take any of them seriously, though, and Rohan was no exception. To her, they were just friends, people she could hang out with and have fun.

One day, while they were studying together, Aaradhya suddenly snapped at Rohan for no reason. "Just leave me alone, okay?" she said, her voice shaking.

Rohan was taken aback but tried to remain calm. "Hey, what's wrong? Did I do something?"

Aaradhya sighed and apologized, "No, I'm just stressed out. Forget it."

But Rohan couldn't forget it. He felt like he was walking on eggshells around her, never knowing when she'd lash out again. He began to wonder if he was just an option for her, someone she could turn to when she felt like it.

As the days went by, Rohan struggled to come to terms with his feelings. He knew he couldn't control Aaradhya's actions, but he couldn't help how he felt. He felt like he was in a constant state of uncertainty, never knowing where he stood with her.

Aaradhya, meanwhile, continued to live in the moment, unaware of the turmoil she was causing in Rohan's heart. She'd apologize and make up with him, only to repeat the same behavior a few days later.

Rohan felt like he was stuck in a cycle, unable to move forward or backward. He knew he needed to talk to Aaradhya about how he felt, but he was scared of losing her completely.

Despite his growing feelings, Rohan didn't confront Aaradhya about her behavior. Instead, he continued to share his thoughts and feelings with her, hoping she would eventually understand his perspective.

Aaradhya, however, didn't change her ways. She kept flirting with other guys, leaving Rohan feeling more and more insecure.

One day, Rohan opened up to Aaradhya about his family struggles. He shared his concerns about his parents' health and his own fears about the future. Aaradhya listened intently, offering empathetic words and comfort.

Rohan felt a sense of relief, thinking that maybe, just maybe, Aaradhya was starting to understand him on a deeper level. But as the days went by, her behavior remained the same.

Rohan couldn't help but wonder if Aaradhya was genuinely interested in him or just enjoyed the attention. He felt like he was stuck in a cycle of emotional highs and lows, never knowing what to expect from her.
