Chapter 7: A Spark of RomanceAs Raj and Jona continued to evade Rock's goons, they found themselves growing closer with each passing moment. Despite Jona's confession about James, Raj couldn't help but feel a strong connection to her.One evening, as they hid out in a small, secluded garden, Raj turned to Jona with a curious expression."Hey, can I ask you something?" Raj said, his voice low and gentle.Jona nodded, her eyes sparkling with curiosity."Do you still have feelings for James?" Raj asked, his heart pounding in his chest.Jona's expression softened, and she looked away, her voice barely above a whisper."I care about James deeply, but...I don't know if I still have romantic feelings for him. Being apart from him for so long has made me realize that my feelings for him may have changed."Raj's heart skipped a beat as he processed Jona's words. Could it be that she was starting to develop feelings for him instead?As if sensing his gaze, Jona turned to Raj, her eyes locking onto his. For a moment, they just stared at each other, the tension between them palpable.Then, without thinking, Raj reached out and gently brushed a strand of hair behind Jona's ear. The touch sent shivers down her spine, and she leaned in, her lips inches from Raj's.Their lips met in a soft, gentle kiss, the spark of romance between them igniting into a flame. As they pulled away, gasping for air, Raj knew that he had fallen deeply in love with Jona.But little did they know, their love was forbidden, and Rock would stop at nothing to keep them apart.
