Eventually, they made the decision to engage in a friendship with benefits, seeking comfort and companionship in each other's arms.

Days turned into weeks, and weeks into months. Maya and Nelson cherished their time together, exploring both the physical and emotional aspects of their relationship. They laughed, shared secrets, and built a bond that went beyond the boundaries of a casual affair.

However, amidst the blissful moments they shared, Maya began to display signs of declining health. She frequently experienced bouts of exhaustion and unexplained pain. Concerned, she sought medical advice and underwent various tests. The results brought a devastating revelation - Maya was diagnosed with a deadly disease.

Nelson was shocked to his core upon hearing the news. He couldn't bear the thought of losing Maya, the woman who had become such an integral part of his life. However, his heart sank even further when he remembered that his family had already arranged his marriage in Kerala, his home state.

The news of his impending marriage hit him like a ton of bricks. He knew he couldn't simply abandon Maya in her time of need. The dilemma tore at his soul, as he grappled with the conflicting emotions of love, responsibility, and the expectations of his family.

Maya, aware of the predicament Nelson found himself in, saw the pain in his eyes. She loved him enough to want him to find happiness, even if it meant sacrificing her own. She encouraged him to honor his commitment to his family and follow through with his arranged marriage.

Nelson was torn between his love for Maya and his sense of duty towards his family. The weight of his decision pressed upon him, making each passing day more difficult than the last. Ultimately, he made the choice to be honest with his family about his love for Maya and the situation they were facing.

To his surprise, Nelson's family responded with understanding and compassion. They recognized the depth of his feelings and the significance of the bond he shared with Maya. They postponed the arranged marriage, allowing Nelson to be there for Maya in her time of need.

Together, Nelson and Maya faced the challenges that lay ahead. Nelson supported Maya throughout her treatment, attending doctor's appointments, holding her hand during difficult days, and providing unwavering love and encouragement. Their relationship deepened even further as they fought the battle against Maya's illness together.

Over time, Maya's health improved, and she emerged victorious against the disease that had threatened to take her life. Nelson and Maya's bond had only grown stronger through the trials they faced. Their friendship with benefits had transformed into a profound love that could not be denied.

In the end, Maya's recovery brought joy and relief to both of them. Nelson realized that life was too unpredictable to ignore his own happiness and the love he shared with Maya. He made the decision to follow his heart and choose a life with her, despite the expectations of society and his family.
