Sometimes love doesn’t fail because it isn’t strong enough.

Sometimes it fails because the world is louder than the heart.

They meet accidentally.

A message. A reply. A conversation that was never meant to matter.

But little by little, words turn into comfort, comfort into attachment, and attachment into deep love, consuming, and dangerously real.

Yet destiny is rarely kind to love that grows quietly.

Family. Culture. Society. Circumstances.

All stand between what they feel and what they are allowed to choose.

You’ve heard the saying-

When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.

But what if the love of your life gives you lemons?

Can love still survive the bitterness?

Almost is a story of connection, longing, and mature emotions.

Of love that is powerful—but maybe not powerful enough to win against everything else.
