Dil se dil tak podcast mein aapka swagat hai. Riti apne kamre mein baithi hui thi. Laptop khula tha, lekin uski nazrein screen par nahi, balki khidki ke bahar baraste baarish ko dekh rahi thi. Aaj se kuch haftay pehle hi usne Aditya ko haan kaha tha, ye soch kar ki pyaar ki kahani filmi style mein hi aage badhegi.
But the reality was quite different. The distance between them was as wide as their thoughts. Riddh used to create content late at night, whereas Aditya used to leave for office before sunrise. Their conversation was limited to video calls only, that too late at night.
Riddhika suddenly remembered that old life. That life where watching a new Netflix series and enjoying pizza was her routine. After Aditya came, she had almost left all this. At the same time, a notification came on her phone. This was of Aditya, in which it was written, "Today is the meeting, I will come late. Good night, sweet dreams."
Hrithya tried to smile but the smile didn't reach her face. She knew that Aditya loved her but this love was not fitting in her life. She was feeling lonely. A loneliness that she couldn't even express in words. After a few weeks, Hrithya decided to tell Aditya all this.
She called him and told him that she wanted to meet him. Aditya was happy. He immediately left his office and reached Riddhi's cafe.
They met in a corner of the cafe. Riddhi saw Aditya in her eyes. She was tired but she was happy to see him. Riddhi took a deep breath and took Aditya's hand in her hand. She told him how she was feeling, about the changes in her life and how she was feeling in this relationship.
Aditya was listening to him carefully. Sadness was clearly showing on his face. He loved Riti. But he also knew that Riti was changing his life because of him. For a long time, both of them kept talking. Finally, they made a decision. This decision was not easy. But both knew that this would be better for their relationship.
He decided that they would slowly return to their lives. He knew that video calls would be a means of communication between them. But he also knew that they would have to leave some things for each other. Riddhi decided that she would try to wake up early in the morning by reducing her content creation time.
Whereas Aditya promised that he would definitely video call Hrithik after work, no matter how tired he was. It was not easy for them to make this decision. Both had to change their habits, adjust for each other. But they also realized that love is not just about being together, but also supporting each other.
A few days passed. Riti was trying to wake up early in the morning and work. But she was not used to it. She often woke up late at night. Similarly, Aditya also sometimes forgot to make video calls while working. One night, Riti was editing late at night.
Suddenly, her phone rang. It was Aditya's. It was a video call. Riddhi picked up the call with a little hesitation. Aditya was seen on the screen. He looked tired, but there was a smile on his face. They started talking. Riddhi told him that she is still editing. Aditya asked her to rest a little. But Riddhi said that she has to finish it soon.
Aditya smiled and said, "I will be with you." He opened his laptop and showed him that he was also working on a presentation. They worked together for two hours. The video call was on, but sometimes they got so lost in the work that the conversation would stop. But they didn't find it lonely, but they were getting a strange joy of being together.
Finally, before dawn, Riddhi finished editing. She was tired, but she was satisfied. Aditya had also finished his work. He smiled at Riddhi and said, "Good morning, hard-working content creator." Riddhi also smiled and replied, "Good morning, workaholic builder."
A few weeks passed like this. Riddhi and Aditya were trying to adjust in their lives. They would talk on video call every night, no matter how short the time.
Gradually, a new balance was formed in his life. Riddhi used to wake up early in the morning and do some work. Due to which he didn't have to wake up late at night. Aditya, being a workaholic, would take time to talk to Riddhi. One day, Riddhi told Aditya that she was working on a new project. In which Mumbai's street food culture is to be shown.
Aditya was very happy to hear this. He told Hrithi that he would take her to some places in Mumbai where street food is delicious. Hrithi happily jumped up. She thought that maybe the meaning of love is not to be together but to help each other to fulfill each other's dreams. After a few days, Aditya took Hrithi to some hidden streets of Mumbai.
The street food there was really delicious. They enjoyed different types of dishes and laughed a lot. In the evening, they sat by the sea. Hearing the sound of the waves of the sea, they sat together with each other's shoulders.
Riddhi looked at Aditya and smiled. Aditya, this relationship is not what I thought it would be. But it's good. We are from different worlds, but we support each other.
Aditya took his hand in his own hands. There is no formula for love. These small joys are only in the small adjustments made for each other. We may not be going towards a boring life and bill from the world of social media and chill. But we are writing our own kind of love story.
Hrithi gently pressed his hand and said, "Our love story and this story has just begun. Both of them kept looking at the sea. They didn't know what their future would be like. But they knew for sure that they wanted to give this relationship a chance. Because the path of love is never easy. Especially when you are writing a unique love story like yourself.
The story of Riti and Aditya is still incomplete. This is a story that shows the true love of the world beyond social media likes and filters. In the coming episodes, we will see whether Riti and Aditya will be able to move forward with their unique love story or will the distance between their worlds make them apart. Keep watching the next episode of Dil Se Dil Tak Vid Khushi.
