After that day, the externals began. Then the semester-end exams arrived like an avalanche.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqFLnRvfuz
January became a blur of tension and ticking clocks — PDFs flooding WhatsApp, people panicking over units they hadn’t touched, doubt circling like vultures.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVlX3ZrRRI
It was the busiest I’d ever seen our campus.
And in that chaos, I tried. I gave it what I could.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FUY0XxgCJ
Some nights I stared blankly at notes, hoping something would stick. Some days, I simply trusted intuition, muscle memory, or fate.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡteKjWVcYf3
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.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKD8lYWvQM
That’s how long the first semester lasted.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NgrRaCxap
Five months — that's what the calendar says. But to me, it didn’t feel like months.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgt3uLqOZ0
It felt like moments — raw, unfinished, incomplete. Like scribbles in a notebook I never meant to show anyone.
And then… something shifted.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQh8OQvIVKt
Something in the air.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTh4vhPKDFY
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.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHq8WAnIlBq
Our evening talks behind the buses — stopped.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZc24H8gVb6
Her presence, once familiar like a hum at the back of my mind — faded.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMj1HCvEW0Z
I kept telling myself it was nothing. Just timing. Just routine.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH52jmbGNyU
But the truth has a way of finding you… when you least want it.
One day, I was with Simon. Just a regular day.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZ6wOUDkDL
And that’s when I saw them.
Her.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQrpaPagz8
Smiling. Laughing. Walking.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CuK095hlg
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.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpQTtYJXtk
I smiled, because what else could I do?148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzg6scrJQos
But deep inside, I was quiet. Frozen. Trying to act okay, because that’s what we do, right?
Later that day, I asked her.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLS5uSOc4mo
“How do you know Ren?”
She said — that,148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprfbyHgF0Y
“Oh… we met online,”.
Simple. Innocent. Coincidence.
That word hit harder than I expected.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZF0aNYZmt
Coincidence.
It echoed in my mind, looping like a cruel joke.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZl2g3HCpM
Because that’s how she and I started too.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uTjBJUpMa
A coincidence.
Only this time, it wasn’t mine.
And in that moment, I realized something no one prepares you for —148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnxi1TAV3h
Sometimes, people slip away. Not because they mean to. Not because of a fight. But because fate hands them a different coincidence.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzrUwmk7s9
A different thread.148Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YuW0ce7No
And you’re left holding the memory of what could’ve been.
