Almost Forever - Some stories don't end in heartbreak... they end in realization

Aakriti Lakhani believes love should be careful, logical, and safe. An introverted web design intern, she trusts rules more than emotions - because she has seen what love can do when it breaks someone. Aarav enters her life without warning and without fitting into any of those rules. He is distant, confusing, and emotionally unavailable - someone who doesn't offer clarity or promises, yet somehow stays. What begins as hesitation slowly turns into attachment. And before Aakriti realizes it, she starts choosing him over herself. This is not a story about perfect romance or grand confessions. It's about quiet moments, unspoken expectations, and the slow realization that loving someone shouldn't mean losing yourself. When Aakriti and Aarav's paths cross, will Aakriti learn to choose herself in time? Or will loving Aarav cost her the very parts of herself she was trying to protect?
