Chapter 10 - Chapter 10: The Untold Tale

Ritesh and Ananya's marriage marked a new beginning in their lives. Their love grew stronger after marriage. They started dreaming new dreams together and talking about their future. However, their marriage journey was not as easy as they had imagined. Even after crossing social barriers, there were many twists and challenges in life that they had to deal with.

The first few months of their marriage were beautiful. The two enjoyed each other's company. They would go on outings, meet family and friends, and live life to the fullest. Ritesh got busy with his work, and Ananya also started working to take her professional life to new heights. There was stability and balance in their lives now.

But, as is often the case, every happy relationship has its challenges. Ritesh and Ananya were also going to face some unspoken problems, which were going to put their relationship to the real test.

After a few months of marriage, Ritesh's work pressure started increasing. He worked in a big company, where he had to stay in the office till late night continuously. On the other hand, Ananya was also very ambitious about her career. She worked very hard in her new job, but this hard work also demanded time. The professional responsibilities of both of them started increasing, and it started affecting their personal life.

"Ritesh, I have got a big offer," Ananya said softly. "But that means I have to go abroad for a few months. I don't know what to do."

 

Ritesh looked at her seriously. He thought for a while and then said, "Ananya, this is your dream. I have always seen you work hard towards this goal. I will not let you lose it. We have faced distance before, and this time too we will overcome it."

Ananya heaved a sigh of relief, but there was still a question in her heart. Will this distance weaken their relationship further, or will they come out of this challenge stronger?

Finally, Ananya accepted the offer. She and Ritesh decided to face this distance once again, but this time they were more mature than before. They decided that they would keep their relationship alive even during this distance, no matter how much effort they had to put in for it.

On the first day of Ananya's foreign trip, Ritesh came to drop her to the airport. The two said goodbye to each other, but this time there was no uncertainty in their hearts like before. Now they knew that their love was beyond time and distance. They were made for each other, and this distance was just a new test that they would overcome together.

Ritesh said, "No matter how long you stay abroad, our love will remain strong. I will stay here and wait for you to come back, and till then we will not let this distance make us feel it."

Ananya smiled and said, "No place is complete without you, Ritesh. I will return soon, and then we will be together again."

This untold story of Ritesh and Ananya once again proved that true love can overcome all obstacles. Be it society, career, or distance, the love and understanding in their relationship was much bigger than all these challenges. But their story was not over yet. This was just another chapter, which was making them even stronger.

Now they had new dreams, new challenges and new opportunities. Their love was ready to face every difficulty, and that was the real victory of this untold story.

Initially, both of them tried to understand and accept this distance. They knew that career is also important in life, but gradually they started spending less time with each other. There were often nights when Ritesh would come home late, and Ananya would sleep instead of waking him up. This change was slowly creating an unspoken gap between them.

Ritesh and Ananya never felt the need to put their love into words, but now, both of them had questions. Was their love limited to the happy times, or would they be there for each other through these tough times?

One day, Ritesh came home tired and found Ananya too busy with her laptop. The conversations between the two had reduced. They had stopped talking to each other about their problems, and these unspoken words had started to create tension in their relationship.

"Are we changing, Ananya?" asked Ritesh in a low voice, who had been holding this question in his heart till now.

Ananya looked up at him and said, "I am thinking the same thing, Ritesh. Work has taken over our lives so much that we have stopped making time for each other. Is this our future?"

Ritesh took a deep breath and said, "Maybe we should spend some time with each other again like we did in those days."

This conversation brought a new twist to their relationship. They both realized that if they wanted to save their relationship, they had to make time for each other. They decided that they would take out one day in a week to be completely for each other. No matter what, they would not do any work or take up any external responsibilities on that day.

The first "our day" was on Saturday. Ritesh and Ananya planned to go on a short trip, just for a few hours, so that they could spend time with each other again. They decided to go to their favorite place—the same cafe—where they first met. This trip symbolized a new beginning in their relationship.

When they reached the cafe, they both reminisced about the old days. They laughed and recalled the first time they met and how their love slowly blossomed. This time helped them come closer to each other again.

But it was not just a matter of one day. Relationships need time and patience. Ritesh and Ananya understood that just being in love is not enough, but constant efforts are required to maintain that love.

However, despite this effort, some more big changes were about to happen in their lives. One day, Ananya got a very special offer from her office. This offer was to lead a new branch abroad. It was a golden opportunity for her career, but it meant that she would have to stay away from Ritesh for a few months.

Ananya found herself in a dilemma after hearing this news. She did not understand whether to accept this opportunity or give priority to her relationship. She talked to Ritesh about this.
