Ronnie returned to work feeling calm for the first time in months. He met a new coworker, Nina, who had just joined his team. Her laughter reminded him of his old girlfriend, Samira, but more calm, genuine, and lively.

Ronnie returned to work with renewed vigor and enthusiasm and greeted all his friends. Ronnie had fully embraced the gardener's words: "If a dead tree can come back to life, why can't I keep going? I have to keep trying," and this effort was destined to add color to his new life.

Everyone was happy with his return, that he had finally overcome his sorrow. His new colleague, Nina, introduced herself and asked Ronnie for help, and Rohini agreed.

Their visits gradually increased, and they began chatting, having coffee together, lunching, and discussing office matters. Both of them gradually began to open up to each other. Ronnie liked Nina's demeanor. She was a lively, cheerful girl. But Ronnie held back from this new relationship, fearing the trauma he had already endured. He couldn't imagine reliving it.

But destiny had other plans. He was repeatedly drawn to her. Ronnie loved talking to her and spending time with her. It brought peace to his heart, and so did Nina. Nina deliberately sought excuses to spend time with Ronnie. They had grown comfortable with each other and spoke freely.

The strongest aspect of their relationship was that they understood each other and respected each other's feelings. Yet, Ronnie restrained himself, fearing that expressing his feelings might ruin their friendship. Nina knew a little about his past; her office colleagues had told her, so she knew he would never confess his love. One day, while they were having coffee, they met. The evening was pleasant, and Nina confessed her love.

Ronnie remained silent for a while, wondering if someone was playing a prank on him again, if someone was playing with his emotions. Nina understood the underlying sentiments, and she said, "Ronnie, you can take as much time as you want. But I just want to tell you, don't let your past dominate your present." Upon hearing this, Ronnie looked at Nina with surprise.

Nina looked Ronnie in the eyes and said, "I know about Sameera, and I also know how much you loved her, like a mad woman." Hearing this, Ronnie bowed his head, tears welling up in his eyes.

Nina placed her hand on Ronnie's hand and said, "If a bad person comes into our lives, we should consider them a bad dream and forget them." Life doesn't stop without someone. If someone betrays us, we should remove that one bad moment from our lives.

And start afresh. Maybe our destiny has a better one, and immense happiness is waiting to welcome us. Nina's loving and emotional support brought tears to Ronnie's eyes. He, too, loved her, but was hesitant to express it. But as he got up to leave, Nina said, "Ronnie, I'll wait for your answer."

Ronnie said nothing, and they continued walking together. An unspoken peace prevailed between them. But this peace wasn't one of fear; it was one of restlessness; Ronnie was in a turmoil of thoughts. He dropped Nina off at her house and returned to his own.

Ronnie had been very restless the entire night, but as they say, every morning brings new joy. Ronnie called Neena and invited her to a park. He arrived with chocolates, gifts, and a rose. He arrived 10 minutes early, but Ronnie was so restless that even those 10 minutes were making him very anxious.

Each moment was becoming heavy for him, his eyes fixed on the gate. As soon as Neena arrived, he smiled, knelt down, offered the rose to Neela, and said, "Will you marry me?" He confessed his love to her, and they promised to spend their entire lives together. Their love was selfless, emotional, and without any deceit.
