Prompt: “🌿 “When You Looked at Me” (Short Story)
Aarav, a quiet college boy, walks the same road every day.
Across that road, inside a small café, sits Ethan—a calm, mysterious man who always watches the world through the window.
One day, their eyes meet.
After that, it becomes a silent habit.
Aarav walks slower.
Ethan waits longer.
Neither speaks—until a rainy afternoon.
Caught in the rain, Aarav stands helpless… until Ethan appears beside him with an umbrella.
“Come inside,” he says softly.
That small moment changes everything.
They begin meeting every day—sharing tea, quiet smiles, and gentle conversations. Aarav feels something new growing in his heart. Ethan, who was once distant, begins to feel warmth for the first time.
But Ethan is hiding something.
He’s leaving soon.
When Aarav finds out, his heart breaks.
“Was I just temporary?” Aarav asks.
Ethan looks at him, eyes full of emotion.
“No… you were the only thing that felt real.”
On the final day, Ethan stands at the station… билет in hand.
But instead of leaving, he turns back.
Because some feelings… are worth staying for.”
