The message stared back at me, its weight pressing down on my chest.
“I Like You”
The words looked too easy, too effortless—just like him.
Raj Shekhawat confessed to me last night.
The words played in my mind over and over again, yet I refused to believe them. He was drunk. People say all kinds of things when they aren’t in their senses. It didn’t mean anything.
At least, that’s what I told myself as I buried my face into my pillow that morning.
I refused to text him back.
Not because I was mad or confused—but because I knew better. I had learned my lesson when it came to words spoken under intoxication. They never held weight in the morning.
And Raj? He wasn’t even trying to reach out.
A part of me should have felt relieved, but another part—one I didn't want to acknowledge—felt... disappointed? No. That wasn’t the right word. It was just—after everything, after the way he had looked at me yesterday, after the way he had laughed so effortlessly—it felt odd that he wouldn't at least try to clear things up.
So, I did what I always did. I distracted myself.
I spent the day at the bookshop, organizing shelves, helping customers, and burying myself in unread stories. It was easier to get lost in fiction than to face my own reality. And when the sun went down, I returned home, exhausted but grateful for the numbing effect of a long day.
But as always, sleep didn’t come easy.
Midnight found me scrolling through Instagram, mindlessly flipping through stories when I saw his name—Raj Shekhawat.
I hesitated for a second before tapping on it.
And that’s when my heart sank.
His story wasn’t some random football clip or a late-night selfie. It was a picture of a guy I had never seen before, captioned with a simple, heartbreaking line.
"Rest easy, brother. You will be missed."
A lump formed in my throat. Someone close to him had passed away.
