Rauf and Samavia were both in their final year of university, pursuing their respective degrees in different fields. Rauf was studying to become a software engineer, while Samavia was on her way to becoming a doctor. They had never spoken to each other before, but Rauf had seen her around campus and heard about her from his cousin, who happened to be in the same class as Samavia.

At first, Rauf wasn't particularly interested in Samavia. He thought she was just like any other girl he had seen around campus - pretty but not particularly noteworthy. Samavia, on the other hand, didn't have much of an opinion of Rauf either. She had heard about him from her friends but never really paid much attention to him.

It wasn't until Rauf's cousin started asking him about Samavia that he began to take notice. His cousin and Samavia were good friends, and he was curious to know more about her. Eventually, his curiosity got the better of him, and he decided to strike up a conversation with her.

Their first few conversations were awkward and stilted. They didn't have much in common, and it was hard for them to find things to talk about. However, as they started to spend more time together, they began to discover that they actually had a lot in common.

Despite their initial disinterest in each other, Rauf and Samavia found themselves drawn to each other. They started spending more and more time together, talking about everything from their studies to their hobbies and interests. Before long, they became inseparable.

One day, as they were walking back from the library, Samavia took Rauf's hand and looked into his eyes. "I know this might sound crazy," she said, "but I really like you. I don't know when it happened, but I've realized that I want to be with you."

Rauf was taken aback. He had never thought of Samavia in that way before, but now that she had said it, he realized that he felt the same way. "I feel the same way," he said, smiling at her. "I would love to be with you."

From that moment on, Rauf and Samavia were a couple. They went on dates, spent time together, and talked about their hopes and dreams for the future. They were happy together, and it seemed like nothing could come between them.

However, things started to change when Samavia's parents began to put pressure on her to focus more on her studies and less on her relationship with Rauf. They wanted her to be a good Muslim and a good daughter, and they believed that being in a relationship was distracting her from her goals.

Samavia was torn. She loved Rauf and wanted to be with him, but she also wanted to be a good daughter and a good Muslim. She didn't know what to do, and the stress started to take a toll on her.

One day, she sat down with Rauf and told him everything. She told him about the pressure she was under and how she was struggling to balance her relationship with her studies and her faith.

Rauf listened patiently, understanding the difficult position that Samavia was in. He loved her and wanted her to be happy, but he also knew that her family and her faith were important to her.

In the end, they both decided that it would be best to end their relationship. It was a difficult decision, but they both knew that it was the right thing to do. They remained friends, but it was never quite the same as it had been before.

Years later, when they ran into each other at a friend's wedding, they both felt a pang of sadness at what might have been. However, they also knew that they had
