At the end of the semester,146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLeKKtl2Hj
when the books were closed,146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXntRZkHvlX
and the codes had settled into the silence of completion,146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSxC2QSbEj
we were handed something new —146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcZTgaydfC
a task beyond classrooms and labs.
They called it the CSP —146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FqZzxEzvM
Community Service Project.
It was meant to connect us with the world outside —146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3tqIecw2E
to give back, maybe.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcHZMgZwPL
But for me, it felt more like a pause,146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrt6KeBHQBf
a breath before the next rush.
I didn’t choose my team.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tt2PR9kXK
Or maybe, the team chose me.
It was me,146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJk7710DihP
Merry and Bettie — two girls from my class146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupfjV6l3NL
who shared more smiles than words with me,146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMpW9Aydx0
and Harry, my friend —146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSxhn9ORuE
more chaos than calm, but a comfort all the same.
We were a team.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXgyEXA2QY
Somewhat random, but real.
Our project was rooted in Rajahmundry.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPpU8LPyHm
A place far from our usual walls,146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1W4AUi8Ua
where we were to explore farming,146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQPLwKLuhS
to understand flowers, roots, and the earth itself.
It was poetic, in a way.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZPGW5Wpa2
After all, hadn’t this year been about blooming too?
But there she was again.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajqxBIOE4h
Forevermore.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpytVjRxs5
And she had her own project, her own path.
With Ren, of course.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZuhrII1gD
And that girl I met during the festival.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOni4U7YKZR
A few others I didn’t know, but it didn’t matter.
They were a team.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56KAEjx6vv
Separate.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MWBe6qCps
Like two parallel poems written in the same language,146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9XMNryLO3
but never on the same page.
We left the city on the same day,146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckug7HzvSC
as if chasing the same sunrise from two different windows.
She took the bus.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnRsBMiJZ2
I rode a bike.
Same roads, different rhythms.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlCbBnZeBF
That was how it had always been, wasn’t it?
May ended in sweat and soil,146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCrKEWAEPx
laughter echoing in quiet villages,146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpAFJD6Pg8
us pretending to be farmers, observers, volunteers.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZR05Su5qmp
Somewhere in between the heat and haze,146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbK6vKkFBV
we completed what was asked of us.
But more than the project,146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUylwY186Kz
it was the people.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHGwJ9gMg4
The little moments.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEajRJpklj
The jokes, the long walks back from fields.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LMA4BwpnF
Not everything has to be profound.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTY5KYmA1B
Sometimes, simplicity leaves the deepest roots.
And then,146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7VDeC8KtW
came the results.
By late July,146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeR0Oepjw6u
we were handed the truth of our first year.
CGPA: 8.88
Better than I expected.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcKiTEUp9U
Worse than I pretended I didn’t care.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOt44rRMAo
It was a number, yes.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4ta4SjiOb
But also a weight lifted.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBWj5uERDC
A reminder that despite everything —146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dxm4bOYDN
I survived, I coded, I lived.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBC1UWXppbC
And maybe even bloomed a little.
The second year wasn’t knocking.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErjPKov28a
It was already breaking in.
A whole new chapter —146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNesaQNjPO
new faces, maybe some old ones too.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtiJxxbTrU
But more than anything,146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJKkU5VQaF
new choices.
And I...146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvY617K9ssq
was still carrying the echoes of a name I carved softly into my soul.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpB0yfGEb76
