She listened quietly, her eyes full of emotion, and then gently said, "Raj, I care for you deeply, but my heart belongs to someone else." Raj was heartbroken but asked, "Who is it?"

Prem, ever the peacemaker, stepped in to remind them that love was never meant to break bonds but to strengthen them.
