The first time I saw her, I felt something shift inside me.
She sat alone on a park bench, watching the autumn leaves swirl around her feet. Her eyes held a sadness I couldn't place, but something about her felt… familiar.
I hesitated before approaching. "Mind if I sit?"
She looked up, startled, then smiled—a soft, melancholic curve of her lips. "Of course."
I sat beside her, feeling an odd sense of déjà vu. "Have we met before?"
She laughed lightly. "You ask as if you know the answer."
I frowned. There was something in her voice, something distant yet intimate. "I don't know. But I feel like I should."
She turned to face me fully, her gaze searching mine. "My name is Aanya."
Aanya. The name echoed in my mind, stirring something deep inside me. A memory just out of reach.
"I'm Rohan," I said, my voice uncertain.
She nodded, her fingers gripping the hem of her sweater. "Do you remember me, Rohan?"
A sharp pain shot through my head. Flashes of laughter, stolen glances, whispered promises. A girl with the same deep brown eyes. A love once held close.
"I... I don't know," I whispered, gripping my temples.
Her smile faltered, but she reached out, her touch gentle against my hand. "It's okay. You don't have to force it."
Tears pricked my eyes. "Who are you to me, Aanya?"
She inhaled shakily. "I was your everything. And you were mine."
My heart clenched. "What happened?"
"You had an accident," she said softly. "You forgot me. But I never forgot you."
A lump formed in my throat. "Why didn’t you remind me?"
She gave me a sad smile. "Because I wanted you to find me on your own."
I looked at her—really looked at her. And for the first time, I felt it. The love I had lost. The love waiting patiently for me to remember.
And maybe, just maybe, I would.
As Rohan stared into Aanya’s eyes, something inside him stirred—an ache, a longing, a forgotten promise. His fingers tightened around hers, and for a moment, the world felt still.
“I want to remember,” he whispered.
Aanya’s breath hitched. “Then let’s start again.”
She stood, extending her hand toward him, just as she had years ago. And this time, without hesitation, Rohan took it.
Maybe love, even when forgotten, never truly fades. Maybe, just maybe, this was their second chance.
The Beginning.
My Forgotten Love – A New Beginning
Rohan took Aanya’s hand, a strange warmth spreading through him. He didn’t remember everything, but something deep inside told him he could trust her.
“Where do we start?” he asked, his voice uncertain but hopeful.
Aanya smiled through her tears. “Let’s start with a walk.”
They strolled through the park, the crisp autumn air wrapping around them. She pointed out small things—a bench where they once sat for hours, a café where he used to steal bites from her plate, a bookstore where he bought her favorite novels.
Each place felt familiar, like a song he once knew but had forgotten the lyrics to.
At the café, she ordered his usual—a black coffee with a hint of cinnamon. He took a sip and froze.
“Why does this taste like home?” he murmured.
Aanya chuckled. “Because it is. You always said this was the taste of warmth on cold days.”
Memories flickered at the edges of his mind—a rainy afternoon, her laughter echoing, his fingers brushing against hers over a shared cup. He squeezed his eyes shut, trying to grasp the fading images.
Aanya reached across the table and took his hand. “Don’t force it, Rohan. Just feel.”
And he did.
Days turned into weeks. They revisited old places, relived old traditions, and created new ones. With every moment, pieces of his past stitched themselves back together.
One evening, as they watched the sunset from their favorite rooftop, it finally happened.
Flashes of laughter. Midnight drives. His arms wrapped around her as she cried. A promise whispered under the stars.
“I will always find my way back to you.”
His breath caught. He turned to Aanya, his voice trembling.
“I remember.”
Tears spilled down her cheeks. “You do?”
Instead of answering, he pulled her into his arms, holding her the way he once did, the way he was always meant to.
Love had found its way back.
This time, he wouldn’t forget.
The true beginning.
Not the end—because true love has no ending.
Only a forever.
