I wasn’t looking for love.
Not then.
Not at the beginning of a new life in BTech, when everything felt so loud and unfamiliar.
But then… there she was.228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAhiJQVKMf
In my class. Not with a bang — no. With a stillness that pulled me in.228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrKRl08zfH
Her eyes weren’t just eyes — they were answers I hadn’t known I was asking for. The way she carried herself, unaware of the spell she cast…
She wasn’t trying to be seen. That’s probably why I couldn’t look away.
And then — something close to a miracle.228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MFuzwaKQD
A twist of fate, or maybe a cruel joke dressed as kindness.228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBH30V2eyR
Our English teacher split the class into boy-girl pairs for an icebreaker — apparently to help us “communicate better”.
A task I would’ve laughed at on any other day. But that day, I whispered a prayer.228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LsA5sgi2D
And somehow… the universe whispered back.228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SdIHLqgo0
And somehow, she became my pair.
I still remember the rush — like every word I knew had vanished.228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSjrh8JXqq
But she broke the silence first.228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOk1koG1wn
Anime. Books. Songs.228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZhhNzTBuM
She read stories I loved.228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4Y4K80TNG
And she seemed like one.
Both a little introverted, both a little lost in our own worlds.228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HnOSRWh2E
But somehow, we found each other in the same chapter.
She smiled when I spoke. I smiled because she listened.228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2kKhDCTrN
Time blurred. The bell rang.228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodlOvaxMUU
And just like that — it ended.
And we never spoke again.
But something strange kept happening — our buses, parked side by side every day. Coincidence? Maybe. Or maybe a second chance, parked beside me daily.
Still… I said nothing. Because I was afraid.228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUlXy7CMvp
Afraid of saying too much.228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZTNbOBDD6
Afraid of being misunderstood.228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mwUetC6iR
Afraid of being too much for someone who never asked for me in the first place.
I never even knew her real name. Not then. But I gave her one — quietly, in my own head.
Seren.
It means "star" in a language I don't speak, but somehow understood.
Because that’s what she felt like.228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPobj404w5f
Distant. Quiet. But somehow... always there.228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQsMPWlvmv
Not burning bright — just being.228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kYaR4Mb5K
A kind of calm I wanted to orbit.
She never knew, of course. She never knew she was Seren to me.
I told myself — four years is a long time. I’ll talk to her again. When the time is right. But fate isn’t always patient.
In amidst of all, one day, she changed her branch.228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdzRuTCDc6
Moved classes.228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5yB06HekD
Moved… away.228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEEvAUDSsq
And I was left wondering…
I stood there, not broken — but almost.
“How foolish of me,” I thought.
Waiting for the right time, without ever trying to make it right.
So now I ask— Will our paths cross again?228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2T3aP5owQP
Or was this always the story of a fool who named a girl Seren,228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgPVryZKtl
and never found the courage to tell her why?
