"I remember something," Tanvir said suddenly.
Tanzila looked up.
"What?"
"A moment."
"What moment?"
He stepped closer.
Slowly.
Carefully.
"You smiling."
Silence.
Tanzila's eyes softened.
"That's it?" she whispered.
"It felt… important."
She let out a quiet, broken laugh.
"It was."
Tanvir stared at her.
Trying to understand.
Trying to feel.
But all he found was…
Absence.
