It all happened in a blur.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IsjCQa42D
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.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbf6PRu9vlh
A few messages. A few replies. A few misunderstandings.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJltzxS5Lfd
So little, yet somehow, I made them… heavy.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKhSSaT7sx
Weighted them down with emotion I never learned how to express.
That day, we met — face to face.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLUqrugrvI
For once, no phones, no typing bubbles, no delays.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DeIA5tMWL
Just her. And me.
We argued, gently.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOV9mUxzYVn
More like scraping wounds that hadn’t healed.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gLbkHvzZK
I brushed it off — said the words that hurt her weren’t even mine.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZ9HJZvQpE
"That was just something ChatGPT wrote," I mumbled, eyes looking anywhere but her.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JuOSPgATi
It was easier to lie, easier to detach.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIp8lDPBxH
Because admitting I meant every word would mean risking everything.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzN2SthYAY
And I wasn’t ready to lose her.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSN4DlnPZM
Not yet.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntOhrkKG6Z
Not ever.
"I just don’t want to say something you never wanted to hear," I said,133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspU6AlC5uO
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 —133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDA6B2FBgW9
She was staying at college late and needed help carrying her luggage to the bus.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0kS4p2qq2
I agreed.
And then, out of instinct or maybe longing,133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDXFFf30Cd
I turned to Seren.
“Come with me?”
She said yes.
We walked together.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvhWDydTxX
Not like we used to.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklTG7VFY8G
The air was different.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZo3jOU9cU7
But still, she came.
We met the senior, carried the bags.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡheEGEmSOKi
The sun was low. The clouds darker.
As we neared my bus — Bus 495 now, no longer 222 —133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8hpPGTD6U
It began to drizzle.
And without thinking,133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYREtjw3zTu
I handed her a small bag and told her to hold it over her head.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMz1zg6BTO
A stupid gesture, clumsy and warm.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCg1SDvjVM
Something straight out of the kind of slice-of-life drama.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvjTKqSAp8
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.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZx8nzSykN
It was pouring.
Her bus wasn’t beside mine anymore.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSKt3Zirln
It stood at the center of the soaked ground, distant.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauTbDaUeAM
Like her.
We waited under the bus shelter.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqS18mZJPI
Time slowed.
We talked.
Not about the fight. Not about the awkwardness.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK755TBTl75
Just talked.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrmz9aKBro
About things that didn’t hurt.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfY7bh8SG9L
Like we used to.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTu67L25zE
And it felt like maybe — just maybe — the storm could pass.
But the rain didn’t stop.
We looked for an umbrella.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxY51RIWzr
Hoped someone would have one.
Then, through the curtains of rain,133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPup4RML16q
I saw Krish walking to his bus, holding an umbrella like a shield against the world.
Without thinking, I leapt.
Out into the storm.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qdgG58ALH
Through the cold.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHxVioihi8
Feet sinking into mud.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0PjldDgCQ
Each step heavy — but not with water.
I ran after him, waited till he was close to his bus,133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8jLWED0ru
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.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZipBXg2Je
We shared the cover.
And as we are walking towards her bus.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfblDkl4ekx
Our shoulders touched.
For a moment —133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGO7TaLQYmn
A second that felt like eternity —133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhuFxOPTtM
Everything froze.
And I knew.
I wasn’t meant to be the one holding the umbrella.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyfgLiRrwq
I wasn’t meant to be the one by her side.
This was a borrowed moment.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIGnfsSWN0
A borrowed feeling.
And so, I stepped out.
Let the rain welcome me back.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkhL4nk71M
Let it hide the tears that I couldn't let her see.
We walked to her bus together.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1n1c3HxMb
Her — warm, untouched by the storm.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡov2ZnBvTKQ
Me — soaked, alone beneath the sky.
When we reached, she turned and smiled.
I just smiled.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMfkECtXNi
No words.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEJjj31gyz
Just the weight of goodbye unspoken.
And then she stepped onto her bus.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTj5XrbioE
And I turned away.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9OqHrcuZx
And the rain kept falling.
But it wasn’t just rain anymore.
It was the sky grieving with me.
