Scene 1: A Train Journey – The First Encounter
Scene 1: A Train Journey – The First Encounter
Harsh and Harshita first met on a train, traveling to their respective cities. He glanced at her from across the seat, their eyes locking for a fraction of a second before both looked away—nervous, hesitant.
She clutched her book tightly; he adjusted his wristwatch—neither daring to speak, yet feeling the pull of an invisible thread.
A sudden jolt made her lose balance; instinctively, Harsh reached out to steady her. Their fingers brushed—an electric moment neither acknowledged. Society, parents, and expectations loomed over them like a shadow.
The train stopped. She left, without a word. A missed connection. A ride incomplete.

Years later, they found themselves at the same college orientation. Harshita, now bolder, laughed when she saw him struggling with his files.
"You are still nervous around strangers?" she teased.
This time, Harsh smiled back. "Not anymore."
A friendship sparked. They became inseparable—studying late nights, sharing chai in the rain, challenging each other in debates. But love? No. Not yet.
Because they knew—caste. Family. Society. Expectations. These words had been drilled into them since childhood. They couldn't afford to dream.

College ended. Life pulled them into the chaos of work, deadlines, and ambitions.
By some twist of fate, they ended up in the same office, working on the same project.
But this time, the weight of reality was heavier.
Office whispers started. "They spend too much time together." "But their families won’t allow it, right?"
Harsh and Harshita never spoke about love, but it was always there. In the way he waited for her coffee before grabbing his. In the way she remembered his allergies when ordering food. In the way their eyes searched for each other in meetings.
Yet, fear won.
She got a marriage proposal. Her family was waiting for an answer.
Harsh watched her from across the conference table, his fingers tapping the file nervously. He wanted to speak. But love had never been safe.
"What if she says no?" "What if we risk everything and lose?"
And so, he stayed silent.

Scene 4: The Ferris Wheel – Love’s Final Test
One evening, after an office party, they found themselves at a fairground.
A giant Ferris wheel loomed ahead, blinking against the night sky. She dragged him into it—laughing, reckless, free. One last ride.
As the wheel ascended, their city shrank beneath them. It was just the two of them now—no society, no expectations, no barriers.
Harshita exhaled. "It’s beautiful, isn’t it?"
Harsh didn’t reply. His heart raced—not from the height, but from the unspoken truth between them.
As the wheel reached its peak, she turned to him. "Do you ever think about what we could have been?"
His fingers tightened around the railing. "Every single day."
Silence.
Then, for the first time, he asked, "What if we take the risk?"
She stared at him.
The wheel jerked, starting its descent. It was now or never.
She took his hand. "Then we ride."
🎢 Ending: Love’s Not Safe, But It’s Worth the Ride
That night, fear lost.
Love isn’t about guarantees. It’s about choosing to ride, even when the road is uncertain.
The Ferris wheel touched the ground. Harsh and Harshita stepped out together.
Because love? Love is a ride. Just close your eyes.
