Stanz
Wellknown Ace
Every night at exactly 11:11, Rohan received a message from an unknown number.
“I miss you. I hope you're happy, even without me.”
He always replied, “Who are you?”
But the person never answered.
After three months, Rohan finally texted, “Please tell me your name. I think I'm falling in love with you.”
This time, the reply came immediately.
“You already loved me once.”
The next day, he met a girl named Anaya at a café. She was wearing a blue dress and holding a book. The moment she saw him, tears filled her eyes.
“Do you know me?” Rohan asked.
She shook her head and smiled sadly. “Not anymore.”
Confused, he sat beside her. They talked for hours, and for the first time in years, Rohan felt as if someone understood his soul.
Before leaving, Anaya gave him a photograph.
It showed Rohan standing beside a girl in a blue dress. On the back, someone had written:
“Our last picture, before you forgot me.”
Rohan's hands began to tremble.
“Who is she?”
Anaya whispered, “Me.”
Then she told him the truth.
Two years earlier, they had been deeply in love. On the night Rohan planned to propose, they had a terrible accident. Anaya survived, but Rohan suffered a brain injury that erased every memory of their relationship.
His family had moved him away to help him recover.
Anaya had never stopped loving him.
She had found his number again and started messaging him, hoping that somehow, his heart might remember what his mind could not.
Rohan looked at her, tears rolling down his face.
“I'm sorry,” he whispered. “I don't remember loving you.”
Anaya stood up.
“That's okay. I didn't come here to make you remember. I came to see if you were happy.”
She turned to leave.
Suddenly, Rohan grabbed her hand.
He didn't know her name from the past. He didn't remember their first kiss or their promises.
But he knew one thing.
He didn't want her to leave.
“Can I fall in love with you again?” he asked.
Anaya smiled through her tears.
And then came the twist.
She gently placed a second photograph in his hand.
It was dated just three days earlier.
In it, Rohan was standing outside a hospital, holding hands with another woman.
On the back were five words:
“You forgot me. But you married her.”
Anaya let go of his hand.
And for the first time, Rohan realized that forgetting someone wasn't always the cruelest thing that could happen.
Sometimes, the cruelest thing was remembering that you had once promised forever to two different hearts.
