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.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ACVN6wcSv
In my class. Not with a bang — no. With a stillness that pulled me in.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOJfcOKrUt
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.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJqtxqDkdz
A twist of fate, or maybe a cruel joke dressed as kindness.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvlqGUNorg
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.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuXnQUKTuR
And somehow… the universe whispered back.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ny9BnNIaL
And somehow, she became my pair.
I still remember the rush — like every word I knew had vanished.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9WznVzWgQ
But she broke the silence first.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLgxVQeyHa
Anime. Books. Songs.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TfJIwRY9F
She read stories I loved.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbSVxpPIJV
And she seemed like one.
Both a little introverted, both a little lost in our own worlds.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EzI1bLGNO
But somehow, we found each other in the same chapter.
She smiled when I spoke. I smiled because she listened.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qDXzHX6Nl
Time blurred. The bell rang.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yN6bFIFUU
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.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymOU4s2XAj
Afraid of saying too much.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XAOheMU7H
Afraid of being misunderstood.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnewaPvJiiv
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.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvA6uFnUB6
Distant. Quiet. But somehow... always there.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmzFnusDJv
Not burning bright — just being.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmy6RVYQ2gz
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.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4BaA2gbJH
Moved classes.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBzn8YMkLP
Moved… away.368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhS6aZwNjo
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?368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDRQ80vuqg
Or was this always the story of a fool who named a girl Seren,368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPcI92TX9d
and never found the courage to tell her why?
