A Long Way ..
In a rural college where classrooms remain locked most of the year and open only during examinations, two strangers cross paths in the most ordinary way—yet something extraordinary begins. He is a disciplined boy with 92%, focused on shaping his future. She is a brilliant girl with 96%, confident, graceful, and unaware of the quiet storm she is about to create in someone’s heart.
Their first interaction is barely a moment: she taps on his desk during the exam, asking him to pass something to the student beside him. No name, no introduction, no eye contact—just a simple exchange. But destiny often enters quietly.
After the exam, he sees her for the first time as she waits for her father. Wearing simple jeans, her presence soft yet striking, she becomes a memory he cannot shake. In her honesty, her intelligence, her effortless elegance, he finds something he didn’t expect—an emotion that feels new, pure, and uninvited.
She sees him only as a classmate, perhaps someday a friend.
But he sees something deeper.
Not obsession. Not fantasy.
Just a growing affection that he keeps to himself, respectful and sincere.
As exams continue and their roll numbers place them side by side, the story unfolds into a journey of unspoken feelings, silent admiration, and the long road between friendship and love. A Long Way captures the beauty of one-sided affection, the courage of staying honest to one’s heart, and the quiet truth that some people change our lives even without knowing it.
This is not a story of dramatic confessions or loud romance.
It is a story of subtle beginnings, long distances, and the hope that sometimes… the longest journeys start with the smallest steps.
