Rohan's Solitude: A Starlit Reflection

For two years, Rohan silently loved Aisha, his feelings hidden behind stolen glances and journal entries. When the university shut down, he watched her through minimized lectures and poured his emotions into poetry. During a virtual open mic, he recited a poem about her—unnamed—only to have her response cut off. When the university reopened, Aisha had shifted streams, but fate reunited them for a project. One rainy evening, she clung to him, her heartbeat echoing his longing. At a farewell party, Rohan, mesmerized by Aisha, finally confessed via Instagram—only to be rejected. Heartbroken but supported by friends, he prepared a farewell poem. But when Aisha performed a duet with the junior she loved, Rohan abandoned his words, instead reciting a poem of heartbreak. As the night ended, he sat beneath the stars, wondering—what if he had confessed earlier?
