TWO AND A HALF YEARS LATER

Maha's POV


Soft rays of golden light streamed through my window as I lay on my bed. My graduation cap and gown were tossed to the side while I scrolled through my phone after a tiring yet eventful day. After years of hard work and countless sleepless, tear-filled nights spent drowning in assignments and classes, I had officially graduated from university. Time seemed to have flown by in the blink of an eye, and before I knew it, I was already 24.

After the long-awaited ceremony and bidding farewell to my friends and teachers, my family took me to one of the most luxurious restaurants in the city for lunch. The day had been filled with well wishes and congratulations, mixed with laughter and the relief of not having to attend any more classes for a while.

I hummed along to the the song playing in the speaker placed on my bedside table as I read a post from one of my favorite writers,

"Some people profoundly impact our lives, leaving an indelible mark on our hearts and shaping who we become. Their presence can feel destined, and the memories created together are often treasured. Yet, despite the depth of connection and affection, life sometimes charts different courses for us, leading us away from each other.

Sometimes, soulmates meet at a time in their lives when their journeys diverge or when external factors make a lasting partnership impractical. Personal growth and evolving life circumstances can alter their dynamics but though circumstances may change, the impact of those we care about remains a part of us, woven into the fabric of who we are. Their influence lingers, reminding us that love and connection are not confined by physical presence, but continue to exist in the echoes of our hearts.

Even when paths diverge, the significance of those relationships endures. We remember these individuals with fondness and gratitude, understanding that their role in our lives was essential, even if not permanent.  It manifests in cherished memories, the lessons learned, and the enduring respect we hold for each other."

An empty feeling took over my heart as I read the words which reminded me of a certain someone. 

Sighing, I scrolled down to a reel from a Chinese Drama I had recently watched, where the second male lead was talking to the female lead who was in a sour mood after not being in contact with the guy she liked, "Both of you have reached the phase of the cooling period when two people are apart.You'd talk on the phone everyday in the beginning. 

But it would take about a month or two at the most before you start treating each other coldly. You become strangers who don't know how to start a conversation anymore."
