A Love Story With Flaws

It was a winter evening. The sky was lightly cloudy and the gusts of cold wind were causing a slight prick in the face every little time. The streets of the city were bustling, as if someone was returning home after settling their daily chores.

Sitting in the corner of a park in the midst of this same crowd, Arav's face was streaked with deep thought. He put his hands in the pockets of the jacket to protect him from the cold, but his eyes were fixed in one direction.

A little away from there was a girl sitting - Sia. She was sitting on a bench, lost in herself, and there was a strange discomfort in her eyes.

Aarav and Sia met a few months ago in this park.

Aarav, who belonged to a middle class family, always wanted to do something big in life. She had set foot in the big city, looking for a job. Sia, on the other hand, the most beloved daughter in her home, was everyone's lady. But there was an incompleteness in her eyes, as if she was looking for another world.

When they first got their eyes on that day, they both felt that it might be the beginning of a deeper relationship. Aarav saw something in Sia's eyes that was like forgetting all the pain of her life. There was a sense of belonging in Sia's smile, which was taking Aarav away from all his troubles.

Today, when the two were sitting opposite each other, there was a strange restlessness in their hearts. Sia looked gently at Aarav and said, " Aarav, don't you think our life should have been something different?"

Aarav mused on her for a moment, saying, " maybe... But life doesn't always go according to us, Sia."There was a slight pain in her voice, which was not hidden from Sia.

"But should love also be so difficult?"Sia had tears in her eyes.

Arav remained silent for a few moments. He had no answer to Sia's question. He loved it, he loved it, he loved it. But why his life was not so easy, no one had an answer.

Both remained silent for a long time. The wind had started to get cold, but their words were not getting cold. Sia took Aarav's hand and said, " You remember when we first met?

Everything looked so good. It was as if all our troubles would end in one stroke. But now it seems that every day new trouble arises in front of us."

Arav grabbed Sia's hand tightly, as if he wanted to say that she was with him, no matter what happened. But inside he also knew that life had only hurt him so far. There was love, but there was pain along with that love.

They were married for six months. Only a few days after the wedding, Aarav lost his job. What was a little saving, too, was slowly ending.

Financial hardship had added to the silence and tension in their relationship. Sia's family was against this marriage, and now every trouble in her marriage was being blamed on SIA.

There was a strange conflict in Aarav and Sia's relationship. The two loved each other desperately, but the situation had put them at a juncture where even their love could not save them.
