The transition from high school to college was a difficult one for both Aarav and Amira. They were in different fields, studying different things, and though they tried to stay close, the distance between them seemed to grow. Aarav found himself more and more drawn to his new friends, while Amira focused on her studies, immersing herself in her own world.

It wasn't long before Aarav began dating someone—someone who, in the beginning, seemed to check all the boxes. But no matter how perfect she seemed, there was always a part of him that felt incomplete. Every time he was with her, his thoughts would wander to Amira, to the way she laughed at his jokes or the way she would just sit quietly, absorbing the world around her. He couldn't understand why, but Amira was always on his mind.

One evening, Aarav and Amira found themselves alone on the college campus, walking side by side as the sun set behind them. He noticed how beautiful she looked in the soft evening light, her hair flowing gently in the breeze. There was a strange tension in the air between them, but neither dared to address it. They had been best friends for so long, and the thought of anything changing seemed too much to bear.
