After that day, the externals began. Then the semester-end exams arrived like an avalanche.144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNW9xC5Ofk
January became a blur of tension and ticking clocks — PDFs flooding WhatsApp, people panicking over units they hadn’t touched, doubt circling like vultures.144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGaEV7mij8M
It was the busiest I’d ever seen our campus.
And in that chaos, I tried. I gave it what I could.144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpC6X10867
Some nights I stared blankly at notes, hoping something would stick. Some days, I simply trusted intuition, muscle memory, or fate.144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YtXvpSSvO
I did what I could — the rest, I left to whatever force governs unfair results and late realizations.
Then February breezed in, bringing a short, scattered week of holidays. A blink. A breath. And just like that, the second semester began.
Five months.144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyZcOSVuXo
That’s how long the first semester lasted.144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9g9FeYwROl
Five months — that's what the calendar says. But to me, it didn’t feel like months.144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXkfKCFcu7
It felt like moments — raw, unfinished, incomplete. Like scribbles in a notebook I never meant to show anyone.
And then… something shifted.144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQsGzoN7LF
Something in the air.144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYYvg03QHt
Something in her.
Seren.
I don’t remember the exact moment I realized it. Maybe it wasn’t a moment — maybe it was a slow unraveling.144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4j5BC5iOr
Our evening talks behind the buses — stopped.144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQiju8bgg0s
Her presence, once familiar like a hum at the back of my mind — faded.144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8m5hXlSA3j
I kept telling myself it was nothing. Just timing. Just routine.144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftvkQGwNp7
But the truth has a way of finding you… when you least want it.
One day, I was with Simon. Just a regular day.144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUbzUuD12z
And that’s when I saw them.
Her.144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCp8Wi2BEl
Smiling. Laughing. Walking.144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62PrPku6qy
And Ren.
He walked beside her — like he belonged there.
Time slowed.
She approached like everything was normal. Like my world hadn’t cracked open a little.144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0PSbVmJnb
I smiled, because what else could I do?144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5udep96kn
But deep inside, I was quiet. Frozen. Trying to act okay, because that’s what we do, right?
Later that day, I asked her.144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiiWlN933c
“How do you know Ren?”
She said — that,144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJcY04IDfl
“Oh… we met online,”.
Simple. Innocent. Coincidence.
That word hit harder than I expected.144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRtDcHDCd2
Coincidence.
It echoed in my mind, looping like a cruel joke.144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHGYtRcegJ
Because that’s how she and I started too.144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWvtqmxb4T
A coincidence.
Only this time, it wasn’t mine.
And in that moment, I realized something no one prepares you for —144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9uviYXVFG
Sometimes, people slip away. Not because they mean to. Not because of a fight. But because fate hands them a different coincidence.144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHkcwNi31j
A different thread.144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdhQKIUZ8o
And you’re left holding the memory of what could’ve been.
