🌍 "Miles Apart, Hearts Together" Characters: Ava – A passionate wildlife researcher from Canada. Ravi – A talented musician living in India. --- Ava and Ravi met at an international student exchange program in Berlin. She loved how his music spoke more than his words. He admired her courage and compassion for animals. They spent three months exploring the city, sharing dreams, and building a bond stronger than either expected. But when the program ended, they had to return to their homes — 10,000 kilometers apart. Everyone around them warned, “Long-distance never works. You'll drift apart.” But Ava and Ravi believed differently. They decided to give it everything — because what they had felt rare, and rare things are worth the effort. They scheduled calls despite time zone challenges. Sometimes Ravi stayed up late to hear about Ava’s elephant rescue missions. Sometimes Ava woke early to listen to Ravi play her a song he just wrote. On special occasions, they’d mail handwritten letters and small gifts — a feather from Ava’s sanctuary, a bracelet Ravi crafted with her initials. Months turned into years. They faced challenges — missed birthdays, bad internet, moments of loneliness. But they never stopped choosing each other. One day, Ava’s mentor offered her a chance to lead a project in India. Without hesitation, she took it. She didn’t tell Ravi right away — she wanted it to be a surprise. When she arrived in his city, she waited at the park where he often wrote music. As he approached, guitar in hand, she stood under the old banyan tree they had once video-called beneath. He froze. Tears welled in both their eyes. Without a word, Ava whispered, “I kept every promise.” Ravi held her close and replied, “And I kept every song for you.” --- 🌟 story in intro
