It all happened in a blur.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBZVvNL3A2
A single evening, stitched together with words I didn’t mean, silences I couldn’t break, and a downpour I’ll never forget.
It started with something small.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLd4C3PHke
A few messages. A few replies. A few misunderstandings.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq46yhUGsOE
So little, yet somehow, I made them… heavy.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJ4nUpTqwq
Weighted them down with emotion I never learned how to express.
That day, we met — face to face.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0r2PVSSGJy
For once, no phones, no typing bubbles, no delays.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWsSTeJVal
Just her. And me.
We argued, gently.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxG2jsqJJWI
More like scraping wounds that hadn’t healed.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUMuwkbR1u
I brushed it off — said the words that hurt her weren’t even mine.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpsCfESQWd
"That was just something ChatGPT wrote," I mumbled, eyes looking anywhere but her.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgv899cZHCQ
It was easier to lie, easier to detach.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPuktan6rG
Because admitting I meant every word would mean risking everything.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfv9CLZDFol
And I wasn’t ready to lose her.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nRIlyptuj
Not yet.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPEqIIc6Sg
Not ever.
"I just don’t want to say something you never wanted to hear," I said,53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcvDpySJ0J
But the truth was, I never even got to say what I really felt.
Then came something… unexpected.
A senior from my bus asked for a favor —53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiI74EJidOH
She was staying at college late and needed help carrying her luggage to the bus.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLp3z4BT6Pi
I agreed.
And then, out of instinct or maybe longing,53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4oC7UaecY
I turned to Seren.
“Come with me?”
She said yes.
We walked together.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCcLDqXxwI
Not like we used to.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaMCovQ57d
The air was different.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9513LKOTBJ
But still, she came.
We met the senior, carried the bags.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOPLyxIuyw
The sun was low. The clouds darker.
As we neared my bus — Bus 495 now, no longer 222 —53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2R0MYziWe9
It began to drizzle.
And without thinking,53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxug5b5gzPa
I handed her a small bag and told her to hold it over her head.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1J6UveatZK
A stupid gesture, clumsy and warm.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMS2D7ZTvS8
Something straight out of the kind of slice-of-life drama.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AT7yEJ2ub
And suddenly — I realized what I had done.
I was acting like I still had a place beside her.
I turned and ran to the bus, flushed with shame.
She followed. Quiet laughter in her steps.
By the time we reached the bus, the rain wasn’t gentle anymore.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOJpp9jQUv
It was pouring.
Her bus wasn’t beside mine anymore.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeaHN8GAJP7
It stood at the center of the soaked ground, distant.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzV9Fh6yYf
Like her.
We waited under the bus shelter.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMREZWVbDMW
Time slowed.
We talked.
Not about the fight. Not about the awkwardness.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPudHmTLmT
Just talked.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NRlgbU4hc
About things that didn’t hurt.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FtTiuWjSZ
Like we used to.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1NRTxCBzf
And it felt like maybe — just maybe — the storm could pass.
But the rain didn’t stop.
We looked for an umbrella.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApCZqm75bk
Hoped someone would have one.
Then, through the curtains of rain,53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlNKPDp7ki
I saw Krish walking to his bus, holding an umbrella like a shield against the world.
Without thinking, I leapt.
Out into the storm.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvAECPsUiY
Through the cold.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6p9w2lJZT
Feet sinking into mud.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9txkBvGZtM
Each step heavy — but not with water.
I ran after him, waited till he was close to his bus,53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtmlt93wTu
Asked — no, pleaded — and grabbed the umbrella.
Then I ran back.
Drenched. Shivering. But somehow… relieved.
I handed her the umbrella.
She stepped forward, close.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xaZd4FPIG
We shared the cover.
And as we are walking towards her bus.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNftpi7p7bL
Our shoulders touched.
For a moment —53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1O0zDe1Im
A second that felt like eternity —53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJV8vV6UTGl
Everything froze.
And I knew.
I wasn’t meant to be the one holding the umbrella.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZC2JNzg3Ao
I wasn’t meant to be the one by her side.
This was a borrowed moment.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1tpGGG56D
A borrowed feeling.
And so, I stepped out.
Let the rain welcome me back.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzv2Tp7k8s
Let it hide the tears that I couldn't let her see.
We walked to her bus together.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKPwDeYSri
Her — warm, untouched by the storm.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLzc3GIyC1
Me — soaked, alone beneath the sky.
When we reached, she turned and smiled.
I just smiled.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvOLW3WpPD
No words.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyghWUc6PMB
Just the weight of goodbye unspoken.
And then she stepped onto her bus.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4vHalk4Ld
And I turned away.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PP74jXcHw
And the rain kept falling.
But it wasn’t just rain anymore.
It was the sky grieving with me.
