Chapter 2
Part Two: Who Was He? Riya didn’t move for several minutes. The air around her felt colder, like time itself had paused. Raj had vanished. Right in front of her. She blinked again and again, trying to convince herself she imagined it. Maybe she was hallucinating. Maybe the stress had finally broken her. But her phone was still in her hand. The call was still active. “Raj?” she whispered. No response. Just... silence. And then— click. The call disconnected. That night, Riya didn’t sleep. She kept replaying the moment in her mind. The warmth of his voice, the kindness in his words... and that mysterious smile. The next morning, she went back to the bridge. She searched for cameras. People. Anything. Nothing. But something strange happened. When she reached into her pocket, she found a small, folded paper. It wasn’t hers. She opened it slowly. In neat handwriting, it said: > “You were never alone. You just didn’t look closely enough. – R” Her heart stopped. Tears filled her eyes. Who was Raj? How did he know her name before she said it? And... how did he vanish? Was he real? Or something more?
