Kehte hain, khuda ne iss jahaan mein, sabhi ke liye. Kisi na kisi ko hai banaaya, har kisi ke liye. Tera milna hai, uss rab ka ishaara. Maano mujhko banaya, tere jaise hi kisi ke liye.

They say some things are never meant to happen. That boundaries exist for a reason, and once crossed, nothing is ever the same again. And yet here I am-standing on that very edge. I shouldn't feel this way about him. He's my best friend-the one who knows the ugliest of my secrets and the brightest of my dreams. We've laughed until our stomachs hurt, fought over silly things, and leaned on each other when the world felt too heavy. He's always been my constant, my safe place. So why is my heart betraying me every time he smiles my way? Why do my fingers ache to stay in his, a little longer than they should? It's not just me. I see it in his eyes too. The hesitation, the spark, the way his words stumble when it's just the two of us. He's falling. And worse-he's falling with me. Love, friendship, confusion-they all blur into something I can't name. Something that feels right and wrong at the same time. But then there came a storm. It changed everything. Forever?
