Prologue
Some Feelings Never Fade
My name is Om, and I am currently pursuing my college education. But whenever I look back at my life, my thoughts often return to the days when I was in ninth grade.
I was young back then, still learning to understand my emotions. I didn't know much about love, nor did I understand how deeply a person could become a part of your thoughts without ever becoming yours.
I only knew that sometimes, a single moment could stay with you for years.
For me, that moment began with a girl named Deepika.
I never imagined that an ordinary day at tuition would become the beginning of a story I would carry in my heart for so long. It was a story filled with little conversations, nervous glances, beautiful memories, unspoken feelings, and a confession that never received the answer I had once hoped for.
This isn't a story about blaming anyone for what happened. It's simply a story about my feelings, the memories I cherished, and a girl who became an unforgettable part of my life.
Because sometimes, not every story is about two people falling in love.
Sometimes, it's about one person discovering what love means to them.
And sometimes, some feelings never fade.
