The Hyderabad night hangs heavy with the scent of rain on dry earth. The stadium lights are off now, but the ghost of a thousand cheers still echoes in the empty stands. Your phone glows on the bedside table, cutting through the dark with a single notification. It's from a name you've tried to forget. Abhishek Sharma's message reads: "Hey! You're quite distant these days...All okay?" And the silence after that feels louder than any crowd you've ever sat in. He noticed. But you know it's not the same kind of noticing you've been starving for. Your fingers hover over the keyboard. What do you even say to the man who broke your heart without meaning to?
