Malamig  ang  simoy  ng  hangin  na  tumatama  sa  makinis  na  balat  ni  Atarah. Sumasabay  naman  sa kanyang  hakbang  ang  pagsayaw  ng  alon  sa  dagat. Papalubog  na  ang  kulay  dugong  araw  nang maisipan  niyang  maglakad-lakad  sa  dalampasigan. Nakangiti  niyang  pinagmasdan  ang  bawat  pares  ng  taong  kanyang  nadadaanan. Kinikilig  siya  sa  isipang  romantiko  ang  oras  na  iyon  para  sa  mga  magkasintahan. 

'One  day, I'll be  watching  sunset  with  the  love  of  my life. At pagmamasdan  ko  ang  bituin  sa  kalangitan  habang nakahiga  sa  dalampasigan.' Napangiti  siya  sa  imahinasyong nabubuo  ng  kanyang  isipan. 

Nagpatuloy  siya  sa  paglalakad  habang  bitbit  ang  kanyang tsinelas. Binaybay  niya  ang  dalampasigan  habang  walang tigil  ang  paghabol  ng  alon  sa  kanya. Sa  di  kalayuan  ay naabot  ng  kanyang  tanaw  ang  magkasintahang  umiindak  kasabay  ang  musika  na  dala  ng  kalikasan.

"I  will  love  you  forever  Stacey." Narinig  niyang  wika  ng lalaki  dito. Kinilig  pa  siya  nang  makitang  hinalikan  ng lalaki  ang  noo  ng  babae  at  niyakap  ito  ng  mahigpit. Muling  dumako  ang  kanyang  tingin  sa  payapang  dagat  na ngayon  ay  binalot  na  ng  dilim. Ilang  segundo  din  siyang nakatayo  bago  naisipang  umupo  sa  dalampasigan  at  tumingin sa  langit.

"I  will  write  my  own  love  story  and  I  will  make  it lasts  forever." Nakangiti  niyang  wika.

My Ex - Crush by thefadedwhite
92 parts Ongoing
"I wish I had never met you!" Deepika's voice echoed across the classroom, each word a dagger to my heart. "Excellent! At least we finally agree on something!" I fired back, even as a tear betrayed the storm of emotions within me. With those final, stinging words, Deepika stormed out, leaving a heavy silence in her wake. The classroom felt like a graveyard, and I stood there, rooted to the spot, desperately wishing I could chase after her and demand the truth. Maybe letting her go was the right choice. Perhaps this is meant to be my unfinished love story, a tale of what-ifs and almosts... ✨ No Deepika. This can't be his bike. Not Arjun's. But I couldn't deny what I saw-the familiar brown Royal Enfield, now twisted and crushed. My heart hammered as I circled around, hoping, praying it wasn't true, until my gaze landed on the number plate: TN56 0809. Arjun's bike. Deepika! Stop imagining things! Arjun would be fine! I felt the world shift, the noise around me blurring into a single, deafening hum. Ambulance and police sirens echoed, and a stranger's voice broke through: "Two boys. Spot dead. College students." I clutched my chest, gasping for air as reality slammed into me. "Arjun..." I whispered, barely holding myself together. Tears stung my face as I sank beside the wreck. "No, Please, No!" My voice cracked as the weight of regret settled in, suffocating me. ✨ Ex-Crush: More than just a crush, but a little less than love. ✨ Arjun and Deepika were hopelessly in love-only they never realized it. Will they find their way to each other, or will their love story remain forever unfinished? ✨ Join Arjun and Deepika on a journey back to those dreamy college days-days where every moment felt eternal, love was unspoken yet ever present, where friendship bloomed like wildflowers, offering a sanctuary from the harsh winds of reality. Come, wander with them through the corridors of college days, where the echoes of laughter still linger.
