And he was the one...
The one who cared for her when no one else did.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsjyYYNE7d
The one who wiped her tears in silence, when shadows felt heavier than daylight.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyt5sTZ27qQ
The one who stayed hidden... yet closer than anyone.
He was her secret.
A quiet presence in her storm.
At first, they were just children—two small souls running barefoot through meadows, making imaginary kingdoms under trees, laughing at clouds. But childhood fades. And with every passing season, their bond changed. Deeper. Slower. Unspoken.
Not just friendship anymore. Something far more Love.
Each day, Elara had tasks. Many of them. But only one she longed for — fetching water from the old village well. While others saw it as a punishment under the sun’s wrath, she saw it as escape. A way to him.
Even in unbearable heat — when the sky burned and the earth sizzled — she walked. Barefoot. Over cruel rocks. Through unforgiving sand. Her soft feet had turned rough, bruised, marked by pain. But she never complained.
Because he was waiting.
Kael.
A beautiful boy, golden hair wild under the sun, wearing his simple rural clothes — an old shirt and farmer’s shalwar tucked into tall, worn boots. He looked like he belonged to the earth itself. Real. Untouched. Alive.
As she approached, he grinned and said, “You made me wait again.”
She tried to hide the limp in her step. Failed. His gaze dropped to her feet.
"Elara... not again."
"It’s nothing," she whispered. "I’m used to it now."
Without another word, Kael stepped forward, lifted her gently by the hand, and sat her down on the stone wall of the well. He crouched, his warm fingers brushing the dust from her skin.
“You keep walking through fire,” he said softly, “just to see me.”
Tears formed in her eyes, but she didn’t let them fall.
He wasn’t done.
“I have something for you. Close your eyes.”
She obeyed.
Cool water touched her aching feet. Then something soft wrapped around them — shoes. Light, simple, beautiful.
When she opened her eyes, she gasped.
Her feet looked new. Almost enchanted.
“Kael... they’re—”
“Not more beautiful than you,” he finished.
She blushed. “My aunt... she’ll ask where they came from.”
“Tell her you borrowed them from the wind,” he said with a wink.
“I can’t lie.”
“Then don’t. Just smile. Let her wonder.”
As always, he picked up the heavy bucket, carried it beside her. Right before the edge of the forest, where her home came into view, he gently placed it in her hands. As if this were a dance they had always known.
But this day… something felt different.
As they sat one last moment by the well, Kael reached toward her neck — to the simple black thread tied there. The Taweez. Her mother had tied it when she was a child. For protection. For blessing.
“Elara,” he whispered, “this... isn’t just a necklace.”
She frowned. “It’s a charm. A memory.”
“No,” he said, voice barely audible. “It’s a key. One day... it will show you who you really are.”
Something in his tone made the wind pause. Her skin rose in goosebumps. Time felt slower. He knew something she didn’t. And it terrified her... just a little.
Before she could speak, Kael stood. As if he had already said too much.
They walked. Silence between them now full of weight. Mystery.
When they reached the path near her house, he stopped. She turned to look back.
Kael stood by the well. Still. Watching her.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngGL08epXc
