Chapter 7 - Chapter 7: Reality Checks

Rohan and Aruna's blissful escape from reality was short-lived. Back in the city, responsibilities awaited.

Over breakfast, Rohan's mother, Nalini, emphasized the importance of their union. "Our families' reputation depends on this alliance."

Aruna's unease returned. Was their love strong enough to withstand societal pressures?

At work, Aruna faced questions from colleagues. "Is it true you're marrying Rohan?"

Aruna hesitated, unsure how to respond.

Rohan, too, faced challenges. His business partner, Vikram, questioned his focus. "Rohan, your mind is elsewhere. Is this relationship affecting your work?"

Rohan reassured Vikram, but doubts crept in.

That evening, Rohan and Aruna met, their concerns palpable.

"Aruna, are we ready for this?" Rohan asked, his brow furrowed.

Aruna took his hand. "We'll face it together. Our love is worth fighting for."

But as they parted ways, uncertainty lingered.

Nalini's words echoed in Aruna's mind: "Our families' reputation depends on this alliance."

Was their love strong enough to overcome external pressures?
