Asha had always kept her previous relationships discreet, knowing they weren't the right fit. However, everything changed when she met you. She no longer hesitated to showcase your relationship publicly. Though she never explicitly labeled herself as your girlfriend, she frequently posted photos of you both on Instagram, spoke about you in interviews, and boldly held your hand in front of paparazzi.

While some insisted you were just friends, others who shipped you together saw the obvious chemistry between you. The rumors finally subsided the day fans caught sight of you sharing a kiss in a bar. Neither you nor Asha felt the need to confirm anything, but the fallout was swift and harsh: Asha lost numerous followers and faced a barrage of hateful comments.

Two days after the revelation, you returned home from work to find Asha sobbing uncontrollably in bed. Her sensitivity to the backlash had deeply wounded her, and seeing her in such anguish pained you deeply.
