13 years & us

Some stories are fiction.
Some are confession.
This one is both.

13 Years & Us is a love story told in pieces-half memory, half imagination.
And only I know how much of it actually happened.

Her name is Imaan.
His is Haris.
They met in Montessori.
Lost each other.
And years later, fate threw them back together-when Imaan had already remembered him a hundred times, and Haris hadn't remembered her once.

He called her "baby" and "behen" in the same week.
Flirted with others.
Ran to her only when it hurt.
And she?
She was the one who waited-for something more than friendship, but less than a maybe.

So I wrote it.
Every kiss we never had.
Every love story we never lived.
Every version where he finally chose me.

There's Asim, the ex who broke her.
Riva, the girl he once loved.
Laiba, the one he talked to when Imaan was sitting right there.

This isn't just her story.
You'll hear from all of them.
Because sometimes, the only way to tell the truth... is through fiction.

13 Years & Us
Half reality.
Half delusion.
All heartbreak.

He never knew. So I wrote the version where he did.
