Some Feelings Don't Knock

Some feelings don't arrive with noise.
They don't knock, don't ask, don't wait for permission.

They slip in quietly-
between casual conversations, shared smiles, and moments that meant nothing... until they meant everything.

Aayushman never noticed when Anya stopped being just the neighbor.
Maybe it was the way she listened a little longer,
or how her presence began to feel like comfort he never knew he needed.

Anya, on the other hand, tried to ignore it.
Because some lines aren't meant to be crossed.
Some emotions are easier left unnamed.

But feelings don't follow rules.
And hearts... don't always understand boundaries.

Sometimes, all it takes is one misunderstanding
to turn something beautiful
into something painfully complicated.

And sometimes-
love begins exactly where it shouldn't.
