When you smile #2I know, we're like two travelers who met on the same winding path and walked a few miles together. Now, it's time for our paths to diverge, yours leading towards the warm embrace of the sun, and perhaps mine into the chilling embrace of the night. Yet, deep down, I hold onto a glimmer of hope, wishing for that morning to dawn on my path, and for the sun to smile upon me once more.***Months have slipped away like sand through Dev's fingers, and Raj has become a distant star in the vast expanse of Dev's sky.Every time Dev looks at Raj, he finds himself yearning for the warmth of connection, the kind that once radiated between him and Raj like a radiant nebula.

What if he turned out to be just like them? What if he was another nightmare waiting to happen? I wanted so badly to approach him, to be near him, to feel that gentle touch I longed for, but my fear held me back. It was as if an invisible chain tied me to my feet, making it impossible to move forward.I couldn't help, I was slowly falling for him, despite my best efforts. But I couldn't allow myself to love someone. Love? It felt like a distant star in a pitch-black sky, beautiful yet impossibly out of reach.I wished I could just let go, to allow myself the chance to be happy, but some scars run too deep to be healed by one smile, right?…
