Between heartbeats: A Love found, A Love lost

𝐏𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐯𝐢 𝐒𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐡 -

It began with a simple birthday wish sent through an Instagram story reply, like countless others. But this one felt different... it was playful and light.

Sometimes, the smallest sparks light the biggest fires.

A thank you and feigned complaint turned into a smiley. A smiley turned into a light hearted conversation. And before they knew it, they were talking about their school, their teachers, sharing secrets and laughing together without any worry.

Two strangers, unaware of each other's existence until that moment, found their paths quietly crossing - not on a busy street, not in a grand setting, but in the soft glow of a phone screen. They were senior and junior, passed out from the same school, belonged to the same city but never crossed paths before... never had any conversation before. It was purely unexpected.

It wasn't loud, it wasn't dramatic.
It was quiet - like destiny whispering,

"𝑻𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒊𝒔 𝒉𝒐𝒘 𝒊𝒕 𝒃𝒆𝒈𝒊𝒏𝒔."
