Intro Table of Contents Top sponsors Comments (3)

Every morning, the city moves in a hurry—

people rushing, buses arriving late,

days repeating themselves without pause.

And somewhere between those ordinary hours,

two strangers begin to notice each other.

They don’t talk much.

They don’t ask names or share reasons.

Yet silence starts to feel familiar,

and brief moments begin to matter.

A glance held for a second too long.

An accidental touch in a crowded space.

A presence that slowly becomes comforting.

This is a story of quiet connections,

of emotions that grow without being spoken,

and of how something meaningful can exist

without ever asking for certainty.
