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.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIWPwogp0Z
In my class. Not with a bang — no. With a stillness that pulled me in.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeURIY9xGu1
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.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCmOjHSxAd
A twist of fate, or maybe a cruel joke dressed as kindness.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijB13pCDEA
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.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMnu6PSVYn
And somehow… the universe whispered back.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmyHKKhBGR
And somehow, she became my pair.
I still remember the rush — like every word I knew had vanished.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGbvWj4eby
But she broke the silence first.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxxTCrDFPt
Anime. Books. Songs.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMYFjxdhc6
She read stories I loved.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrjhk0Wb17
And she seemed like one.
Both a little introverted, both a little lost in our own worlds.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SWbxm0UDu
But somehow, we found each other in the same chapter.
She smiled when I spoke. I smiled because she listened.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jv6szGEWA
Time blurred. The bell rang.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6jV7E7Xt0
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.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fRfXiNSnz
Afraid of saying too much.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CliDQtem8
Afraid of being misunderstood.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3Bue4jDQW
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.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBSmaHhNs6
Distant. Quiet. But somehow... always there.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZR8EJFthFW
Not burning bright — just being.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Hq3JaKc0J
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.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMBY8TJjMB
Moved classes.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8exYHuVji
Moved… away.119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3vh7Q5rdE
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?119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZkjm6UxNj
Or was this always the story of a fool who named a girl Seren,119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOzH2qUolj
and never found the courage to tell her why?
