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.236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbAYbUL0G3
In my class. Not with a bang — no. With a stillness that pulled me in.236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3HhVDqLoi
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.236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnaA487Gg9i
A twist of fate, or maybe a cruel joke dressed as kindness.236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBzQxaS1S8
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.236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmM1WTfJSU
And somehow… the universe whispered back.236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡID11aCkyOD
And somehow, she became my pair.
I still remember the rush — like every word I knew had vanished.236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZzYIlEk0X
But she broke the silence first.236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9U8LAty5C
Anime. Books. Songs.236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7OH5E6y5r
She read stories I loved.236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3165XqHL3
And she seemed like one.
Both a little introverted, both a little lost in our own worlds.236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FZuwPynUD
But somehow, we found each other in the same chapter.
She smiled when I spoke. I smiled because she listened.236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12h5QqPQwS
Time blurred. The bell rang.236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPu0CwGBrwx
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.236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxch8pvzcPL
Afraid of saying too much.236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizKg8j4UDr
Afraid of being misunderstood.236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubhTjcikON
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.236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VM78JTrEA
Distant. Quiet. But somehow... always there.236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTC9mTI0tD
Not burning bright — just being.236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIUY18rQDw
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.236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1dMbyLB93
Moved classes.236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfpgbRAoTr
Moved… away.236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhTjCE99n8
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?236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxsv5q7R6F
Or was this always the story of a fool who named a girl Seren,236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoj0g7DtP0
and never found the courage to tell her why?
