Life had become a quiet loop.Zayan came, smiled, laughed, and left.Aliya watched him from a distance — every single day.He smiled sometimes.Maybe even glanced her way once or twice.And each time, her heart whispered:“Am I just a moment to him?Or do I live somewhere in his heart too?”Aliya wrote in her diary every night.But the words weren’t soft anymore.They were filled with questions…And silence.She wanted to speak.She wanted to tell him everything.But she was scared.Scared of what?Maybe... if she said the truth, it would all fall apart.Maybe Zayan would go even farther away.One day, Farah asked her casually:“Aliya, have you ever fallen for someone?”Aliya froze.Then smiled and replied:“No… I just like writing.”But that night, her diary knew the truth:“If writing was just a hobby…why is his name on every page?”Everything in class felt the same.Farhan’s silly jokes, Miss’s gentle voice,Zayan’s laughter echoing like a song...But inside Aliya — everything had changed.Every moment she wondered:“Will I ever tell him?”“Or will my feelings die quietly between diary pages?”She wrote a letter.Then tore it.Wrote again.This time… she kept it hidden between pages.💌 “If only I could tell you…”I see you laugh,I see you live...But you never see me.I stand behind you, around you...But never next to you.I have so much to say…But I won’t.Because deep down… I was never yours to begin with.That night, she closed her diary.And for the first time, she realized —even writing can’t ease the pain.The next day, Zayan walked over.He asked her for notes.Just like any normal classmate would.But for Aliya… it felt like something she had always imagined.Zayan:“Aliya, can I borrow yesterday’s notes?”She nodded and gave them.Their eyes met.For a second — silence said everything.Zayan noticed something in her eyes.But he said nothing.That night, she wrote:“He said nothing…But his eyes spoke softly.And I said nothing too…Because maybe, I never will.”Aliya’s world was still spinning around one name.And in that world — there was love.But no confession.Only silence…and things she could never say.To Be Continued…“I loved you in all the ways I couldn’t say…And you passed by… in all the ways you didn’t see.”.
