A slow burn romance between two school desk mates who part ways for high school and unite after college......
Will they uncloak their feelings and make themselves heard???
It was the last day of college. Everyone around me were anxious about the examination. But my mind was blank. I looked at my friends, who were flipping the pages of the textbook, trying to remember topics and giggling in - between. I was never lucky in finding friendships before. A friendship that felt so lively, safe, that prioritised eachother's happiness and comfort. I was in the love with the fact that i found such beautiful, selfless people in my life and wondering why our college life has to end this fast.
The exam got over and it was time to bid farewell. Nobody came with the idea of making new friends in college but now we were crying our hearts out. This was the best kind of friendships that was fierce where we aggressively believed in each other , defended each other and thought the other deserved the world. That was our renewable source of power and happiness.
'Diya! I know you are moving to a different city for higher studies, but doesn't mean you can forget us'
I didn't know what made Lia to say this but she definitely knew this bond is gonna last forever.
We all moved away with a heavy heart filled with happiness and sorrow, knowing we got a lifetime family to rely on who always only wish for our happiness.

On the way back home, all i could think was the beautiful memories we created in the three years of college. In the midst of traffic, honking sounds, in the warm sun, around hundreds of strangers and pollution all i could think was a way to be with them again , to sing with them again, to laugh with them again and to live with them again.
Days went , by sending reels in social media, by talking through phone, by missing their presence and warmth.
We called ourselves "Locas" meaning crackheads, the apt name that could ever describe us. Missing them made me think of my school days, one of the most beautiful phase in anyone's life.
I was reminiscing my school memories and remembered my desk mate, who played a big role in creating an epic school life memories.
I wondered where and how is he now, does he has someone in his life, would he remember me?
And my friends pushed me to talk to him or at least say a hi in the instagram.
With thousands of questions and doubts, i sent a 'Hi'. It was more than an hour since i sent the message but there was no response from him. But since he was a med student i convinced myself to be little more patient.
Then came a response, 'Hey!'
I felt the heaviness in my chest and happiness in my heart, something that i could never explain with words.
Cyril, was my mid-school crush and my desk mate, who had all magical powers to make my heart race and mind go crazy!!!!!
