Before we knew

They were childhood best friends, partners-in-crime, and each other's worst nightmare on some days. Growing up side by side, Shubman and Anya were inseparable-bickering over the smallest things, daring each other into reckless adventures, and somehow always finding their way back to each other.

But time has a way of changing things.

Teenage years brought distance. Adulthood made them strangers. The once-familiar footsteps outside the window stopped. The childhood dares faded into silence. And the promises they never realized they made? Forgotten.

Now, fate brings them back together-not as kids who shared ice cream and cricket bats, but as two people who are supposed to work side by side. The comfort of the past clashes with the awkwardness of the present. The teasing is hesitant, the conversations feel heavier, and underneath it all is something unspoken.

Something that has always been there.

Love, before they knew what it was.
