Chapter 1                             The first meeting

A girl who appears to be around 18 is in a bar on a rainy night.

It appears to be her first time entering a bar and even drinking.

She can become intoxicated with just one glass of wine.

Her name is Akshara.

She is the daughter of Ayden, a successful businessman in his mid-40s who maintains a very private life and who is completely devoted to his daughter.

The rest is meaningless to him.

His daughter is the reason he is alive and the reason he lives.

Also in the bar, enjoying his drink, is a young-looking man in his early 20s.

He has a beer in his hand.

Leo is the name of the boy.

He is the sole descendant of a well-known businessman, and in a few years, he will take over the business.

The fact that the young male can control his drinking while the young girl cannot is the only distinction in their drinking habits.

In addition, they also exhibit similar signs of sadness and heartbreak.

They are seated next to one another.

I'm not sure if she wanted to talk to Leo because of the drink or because of Leo.

She formally introduced herself to him, and he did the same.

Can I tell you a story, she asks?

Leo, who is typically aloof and unconcerned with his surroundings, seemed to be intrigued by her tale.

He expresses interest in her by nodding.

Then she asks him, "Do you believe that love endures forever?

I understand that he has devoted his entire life to looking after me and has never shown interest in other women, but how is it possible for him to consider sharing our lives with someone else?

Was his first love already forgotten by him?

He is perplexed, wondering about whom she is speaking.

She appears to be 18 years old and talks of taking care of herself for all of eternity.

Then he comes to the conclusion that she might be talking about a childhood friend who now appears to have a girlfriend and is drinking because she is heartbroken.

I don't know much about eternal love, but what are your thoughts about it?" he replies.

Leo style, a question for a question.

"Well, for me, love is eternity, love is for eternity, forever is love, and eternity is for love," she responds after giving it some thought.

Love is truth; it is both a sparkling diamond and a smoldering coal.

Well, what I really want to say is that love is both a dream and a nightmare.

One should be able to cherish the thrones as well; one who just wishes for flowers does not deserve it.

Even if they hurt, they are present and have a purpose.

Her answers are quite detailed for her age.

They pour themselves another glass of alcohol.

At this point, Leo is also becoming intoxicated, and Akshara is fully wasted.

Leo decides that it would not be a good idea to leave her there because she is wasted and takes her with him.

They are currently in Leo's room.

She is placed in his bed.

He is unsure now that he has taken her into a room whether he is a safer place for her than a bar or not.

He takes a chilly bath and scans the area.

He sips ice water.

He notices her suitcase and searches through it to learn more about her, but all he could find were university admissions paperwork and brochures.

The DNR University's business faculty is renowned throughout the nation.

He exits the room after writing her a message.

When Akshara awakens the following morning, it is already 9:00.

She is pretty terrified by the fact that she drank too much and woke up in a stranger's room the next morning.

She looks about the room, at her clothes, and at herself.

Everything appears typical.

She exhales with relief.

She tried to recall her memories but was unsuccessful.

She already feels depressed, so she doesn't have time to regret or mourn what happened last night.

She is healthy overall, so she doesn't give last night any thought.

She notices a letter on a nightstand that reads, "Life is lovely even when there is some pain and suffering, and if someone is happy with someone, don't you think they deserve their pleasure, even if that happiness is not with us or in our presence? You are too young to be heartbroken.

It's nice to meet you, and please don't think I'm bugging you, but before doing something like last night, think about your safety.

Akshara, I look forward to meeting you soon ".

The note makes her happy.

It seemed ridiculous to her that she would decide to leave her home and move to another city for her studies as a result of her father forgetting about her and meeting someone else.

Even though she will be upset that her father is falling in love with someone other than her mother, she now wants to bring happiness back into her father's life.

She is content, and for her as well, her father's happiness comes before her own. She was sad because her father will soon replace her mother as her only memory of her deceased mother, but she wasn't furious because he would have another woman and family with her.
