Chapter 3: Concerns and Warnings
Ashaas's friends and family had always been supportive of her relationship with Neel. But lately, they had started to notice a change in her behavior. She was spending all her time thinking about Neel, talking about Neel, and dreaming about Neel.
Her friends would try to talk to her about other things, but Ashaas would always find a way to steer the conversation back to Neel. Her family would try to warn her about the dangers of obsession, but Ashaas wouldn't listen.
One day, Ashaas's best friend, Riya, decided to sit her down and have a talk with her. "Ashaas, I'm worried about you," Riya said, her voice filled with concern. "You're spending too much time thinking about Neel. You're neglecting your studies, your friends, and your family. Is everything okay?"
Ashaas looked at Riya, feeling a sense of defensiveness. "Everything is fine," she said. "I just really love Neel, that's all."
Riya sighed. "Ashaas, I know you love Neel, but you have to be careful. You can't let your love for him consume you. You have to maintain a balance in your life."
Ashaas nodded, feeling a sense of understanding. She knew that Riya was right. She had to be careful not to let her love for Neel overwhelm her.
But as she walked away from Riya, Ashaas couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. Was she really in control of her emotions, or was her love for Neel controlling her?
She thought back to all the times she had cancelled plans with her friends to spend time with Neel. She thought about all the nights she had stayed up late, thinking about Neel and wondering what he was doing.
Ashaas felt a pang of guilt as she realized that she had been neglecting the people who cared about her the most. She knew that she had to make a change, but she didn't know where to start.
As she pondered this question, Ashaas's phone buzzed with a text from Neel. "Hey, beautiful," he wrote. "I miss you. Can't wait to see you tonight."
Ashaas's heart skipped a beat as she read the message. She couldn't wait to see Neel tonight, to hold him close and tell him how much she loved him.
But as she walked to her next class, Ashaas couldn't shake off the feeling that something was off. Was her love for Neel healthy, or was it unhealthy?
She didn't know the answer to this question, but she was determined to find out. She knew that she had to be careful, that she had to make sure that her love for Neel wasn't consuming her.
As she sat in class, Ashaas couldn't help but think about Neel. She wondered what he was doing, who he was with, and what he was thinking.
She felt a pang of jealousy as she thought about all the other girls who might be interested in Neel. She knew that she had no right to feel this way, but she couldn't help it.
Ashaas took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down. She knew that she had to trust Neel, that she had to believe that he loved her and only her.
But as she looked around the classroom, Ashaas couldn't help but feel a sense of uncertainty. Was she really in control of her emotions, or was her love for Neel controlling her?
She didn't know the answer to this question, but she was determined to find out. She knew that she had to be careful, that she had to make sure that her love for Neel wasn't consuming her.
As the class came to a close, Ashaas felt a sense of relief wash over her. She knew that she had a long day ahead of her, but she was ready to face it.
She packed up her things and headed out of the classroom, her heart filled with a mix of emotions. She was excited to see Neel tonight, but she was also scared.
Scared of what might happen if she lost control of her emotions. Scared of what might happen if Neel didn't feel the same way.
As she walked across campus, Ashaas felt
