The story we lost

*Chapter 1: Childhood Bond*

Nidhi and Neel met in Class 6 in the same school. Over the years, their friendship deepened into love. By Class 8, they were in the same section and shared a strong, innocent bond. Both believed they would be together forever.

*Chapter 2: Separation*  

In Class 9, Neel had to transfer to another school due to family reasons. Their meetings became rare — only occasional encounters on the roadside. Believing they would never meet again, both tried to move on with their lives.  

During this period, Nidhi grew close to her tuition teacher.

*Chapter 3: Reunion and Second Chance*  

After two years, Neel returned to Nidhi’s school for further studies. Old emotions resurfaced. Neel proposed to Nidhi once again, and she accepted.  

They spent the next year together, attending the same tuition and supporting each other. In Class 12, they were happy and hopeful about their future.

*Chapter 4: Family Opposition*  

When Nidhi’s parents came to know about her relationship with Neel, who came from a farming background, they strongly disapproved. They arranged her marriage to Nikhil, a railway employee.  

Under immense family pressure, Nidhi was married to Nikhil. Neel was devastated. As the only child in his family, he chose to focus on his responsibilities, took up a job, and decided to close his heart to love.

*Chapter 5: The Revelation and Aftermath*  

After marriage, Nidhi and Nikhil relocated to Kolkata and appeared to live a stable life.  

Later, Neel discovered the truth — Nidhi’s family was unaware of her past relationship with him. The circumstances that led to the marriage were created by Nidhi herself, and she had willingly agreed to it.  

Feeling betrayed, Neel decided to move forward and dedicate himself to his work, vowing never to trust in love again.
