Story: Love in Silence
Chapter 1: The Silent Boy
The college corridor was full of noise.
Laughter, conversations, footsteps—everything blended together.
Yet, among all that chaos,
the boy sitting near the window
was easy to notice.
His name was Arif.
He didn't talk much.
He didn't want to.
Because whenever he spoke,
people asked questions,
and questions always led to pain.
Sitting by the window,
he stared outside.
The sky was cloudy today—
just like his mind.
At that moment,
she entered the classroom.
Mehjabin.
Her smile felt like
the room suddenly became brighter.
Everyone noticed her,
but she was used to it.
As she walked toward her seat,
her eyes stopped—
right at the boy near the window.
Arif.
An open notebook,
a pen in his hand,
yet not a single word written.
She didn't know why,
but looking at that silent face,
something unfamiliar stirred in her chest.
Just then,
Arif looked up.
Their eyes met.
One second.
Two seconds.
Then Arif looked away.
Mehjabin smiled softly.
She didn't know it yet,
but that silent boy
would one day become
the deepest story of her life.
