A Beautiful Love Story Is a Trap
Introduction
Their love story begins like magic—but turns into a trap as Mira uncovers a lie that shakes their foundation. Riyan's emotional wounds turn their romance into obsession, forcing Mira to walk away for her own peace. But love returns—this time, honest and slow. Together, they rebuild something real from the ashes of something broken.
Shall we make chat story with it
Riyan
Hey… I know we only met yesterday.
But I can’t stop thinking about that coffee spill 😅
Mira
I told you. I don’t do “meet-cutes.”
It was a mistake. Move on.
Riyan
Or fate? 👀
What if the universe is trying to say something?
Mira
The universe has better things to do.
Goodnight, Riyan.
Riyan
You didn’t answer my question.
Dinner tomorrow?
Mira
(to herself):
Why is he making me smile?
I don’t even like smiling.
Mira had always believed that love was nothing more than a beautiful distraction—a myth wrapped in flowers, promises, and pain.
Her world was made of deadlines, coffee-fueled nights, and the quiet comfort of books that didn’t lie. While her friends dreamed of roses and rings, she focused on job interviews, save goals, and getting promoted before 30
To her, love was chaos. And Mira hated chaos
Chapter 1 The Girl Who Didn't Believe in Love
Mira didn’t believe in love.
Not the movie kind. Not the Instagram kind.
To her, love was chaos—and she hated chaos.
She believed in job interviews, Excel sheets, and coffee strong enough to burn.
Another rushed morning.
Coffee spilled. White shirt ruined.
(Typical.)
She darted into the elevator, hoping no one noticed.
Just before the doors closed…
Ding.
A tall guy stepped in. Rolled-up sleeves. Calm smile.
Their eyes met.
Riyan
I’m Riyan. New consultant.
Just names. Just elevator small talk.
She didn’t expect to see him again.
But the universe—
(the one she didn’t believe in)
—had other plans.
He showed up again.
At the cafeteria.
Riyan
No sugar, right?
I overheard you cursing your coffee yesterday 😄
He was... everywhere.
Hallways. Meetings. Break rooms.
Never loud. Never too much.
Just present.
Like he was waiting for her to notice.
One stressful meeting later—
Riyan
(holds out a KitKat)
For surviving the war 🫡
Mira
(staring)
You’re very persistent.
Riyan
Only when I see something worth the effort 😉
Her heart fluttered.
(Ugh. That again.)
She told herself it was nothing.
[He’s just being friendly. You’re just tired.]
But deep inside...
A crack had formed in her perfectly built walls.
And that...
was how it started.
Chapter 2 Love, the Unexpected Guest
Mira was used to being invisible—
by choice.
But Riyan…
He had a way of gently standing where her walls used to be.
Riyan
You always eat lunch alone?
Riyan
Mind if I bring chaos to your quiet? 😏
Mira
I thought you were a consultant, not a comedian.
He laughed.
Not loud. Not fake.
Warm.
And somehow, that warmth lingered longer than it should have.
Riyan
I don’t mean to bother you.
Riyan
Because I like being around you.
Even when you glare at me like I owe you rent 😅
She wanted to roll her eyes.
But the corner of her lips betrayed her.
(A smile. A real one.
Ugh. Dangerous.)
The days passed.
And Riyan… stayed.
Mira
I Brought mine today.
Riyan
Yeah, but yours is boring.
I added caramel. Thought you needed sweetness in your life 😉
He didn’t rush.
Didn’t push.
He just… showed up.
Again. And again.
Riyan
You know, you have this look when you're thinking hard—
Like you’re solving a murder case in your head.
Mira
Maybe I am.
Maybe it’s yours 😑
Riyan
Ah. That’s my girl.
I mean… my colleague. Right. Totally professional. 😬
[Why does he make me laugh like this?]
[Why do I feel lighter when he’s around?]
She hated how soft her chest felt when he was near.
Hated how she didn’t really hate it.
Narrator:
Love wasn’t part of the plan.
But it had a funny way of sneaking in...
Disguised as a friend
With a caramel coffee and crooked smile.
