📖 Chapter 3: The Forced Choice 💔
Riya’s life was slowly turning into something she never imagined 😞
One day, after school, she was talking to someone she liked…
a simple, innocent conversation 💬
She didn’t even understand what “relationship” really meant.
She only did what others were doing.
“I thought it was normal…” she whispered to herself.
But that small moment changed everything 💔
Her younger cousin saw her talking…
and from that day, nothing remained the same.
At first, it was just warnings.
Then slowly… it became pressure.
“You can’t talk to him anymore,” her cousin said coldly.
“You have to do what I say.”
Riya felt confused 😟
“Why? What did I do wrong?” she asked softly.
But instead of an answer… she got a threat.
“If you don’t listen to me,”
“I will tell everyone about you…” 💔
Those words shook her completely.
Riya’s heart started racing 💥
Fear slowly took over her mind.
She tried to stay strong.
“I didn’t do anything wrong…” she said to herself.
But the fear of being exposed…
the fear of losing everything…
was too heavy 😢
Then came the worst part.
Her cousin forced her to choose someone else…
someone she didn’t like… someone she didn’t want 💔
“You will be in a relationship with him,”
“Or I will tell everyone everything.”
Riya’s hands were shaking.
Tears rolled down her cheeks 😢
“I don’t want this…” she whispered.
But no one was there to listen.
In the end… she gave up.
Not because she wanted to…
but because she was forced to 💔
