The week after the competition was a whirlwind of emotions for Virat and Ashmit. Despite not winning, their shared experience had strengthened their bond, yet the unspoken words between them hung heavily in the air. Virat often caught himself stealing glances at Ashmit, who seemed more determined than ever, her focus now shifting toward preparing for their upcoming exams.
As the days passed, Virat felt the weight of his feelings intensify. He longed to tell Ashmit how much she meant to him, yet each time he opened his mouth, the words were swallowed by his fears. He found solace in their study sessions after school, where they would sit side by side, surrounded by textbooks and notes, the silence often punctuated by laughter and the occasional shared snack. Each moment spent together felt like a step closer, yet the distance of unspoken words loomed larger.
