It had been a few weeks since Aanya started her new job. She was slowly adjusting to the new city 🏙️ and her fun, crazy roommate group.
"Guys, tomorrow you all have that big client meeting, right?" Riya asked, the serious one of the group.
"Yeah," Aanya replied, sipping her coffee ☕. "Our company just got a new project… and I heard the client's CEO is really young and talented."
"Wow! Then no need to worry," Anika laughed.
Everyone burst out laughing 😄. Aanya laughed too, but somewhere inside, her heart ❤️ suddenly remembered Dev.

That night, all the roommates stayed up late.
K-pop songs were playing, Maggi was cooking, and they were arguing about what to watch on TV. Korean 🇰🇷, Japanese 🇯🇵, Chinese 🇨🇳, Indian 🇮🇳, or Thai 🇹🇭 drama?
No one could decide, until Ananya suggested, "Why not make a group poll?"
Finally, everyone ended up watching The Untamed C drama together. The room filled with laughter and smiles 🙂.
Aanya sat among them, laughing on the outside, but deep down her heart felt heavy.
Sometimes she thought, "Dev, where did you go? I never took you out of my heart ❤️…"

The next day, the office had a different buzz. Everyone was excited—the big contract signing between two companies was happening.
Aanya was arranging her files when her manager suddenly said,
"Aanya, be ready. The client's CEO is coming personally. You'll be giving the presentation."
Her heart ❤️ skipped a beat.

The meeting room door opened.
And walking in was… Dev.
Aanya froze.
Those same calm eyes, that confident walk, that faint smile.
"Dev…?" she whispered inside.
But Dev greeted everyone in a professional tone, as if he didn't recognize her at all.

The presentation began. Somehow, Aanya held herself together.
"Good afternoon, everyone. I'm Aanya… and today I will explain the project details…"
Her voice trembled a little, but she pushed through with courage and explained everything clearly.
Dev kept glancing at her, but his face stayed completely neutral.
When the meeting ended, Dev simply extended his hand.
"Good work, Miss Aanya."
That was all he said… and then he walked away.
Tears welled up in Aanya's eyes 🥺.
One question burned in her heart—
"Did Dev recognize me… or has he truly forgotten me?"
🍁🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂
That night, her roommates teased her.
"Wow Aanya, that CEO was really handsome! Looks like you liked him, huh?"
Aanya just smiled, but her heart ❤️ was screaming with emotions she couldn't say out loud.

🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂
This was the beginning of a new chapter for Aanya and Dev.
But the suspense still lingered—
Had Dev really come back for her?
Or was this just a coincidence?
