It was the annual school festival — the kind that filled every corridor with laughter, music, and the fragrance of new memories. Diva stood near the art stall, her friends chatting beside her, but her eyes were fixed elsewhere.
There he was — Ishnu, wearing a white dhuti and a yellow punjabi. The sunlight caught on the edge of his smile, and for the first time, Diva’s heart forgot its rhythm. Everything else blurred — the crowd, the chatter, the chaos — all she could see was him.
That day, she didn’t talk to him. She didn’t even try. But something inside her changed quietly, like a soft light flickering to life.
---
In the days that followed, Diva began noticing him everywhere — walking across the ground, laughing with his friends, standing near the school gate. She never spoke, but she started writing.
Tiny folded notes — full of words she couldn’t say aloud:
“You looked beautiful that day.”
“Your smile makes my mornings brighter.”
“If only you could see how I see you.”
She slipped those notes secretly into his bag when no one was watching — during recess, after class, before the bell rang. He never knew who left them. And she never signed her name.
---
Two years passed. People came and went, crushes bloomed and faded — but not hers. Diva never fell for anyone else. Her love wasn’t loud; it was patient, quiet, and loyal.
She even made fake IDs online, just to talk to him — not to deceive, but to stay close somehow. She wanted to know what made him smile, what songs he liked, what dreams he had. He never guessed it was her behind those messages.
Every night, she’d check his last seen, write messages she’d never send, and whisper his name into her pillow like a prayer.

She always wanted to ba a scientist but when she gets to know that Ishnu loves biology and wants to be a doctor she copied him too , she left maths and started working hard to be a doctor only to stay closer to Ishnu !!
When school ended, she thought she’d finally tell him. But courage always came a moment too late. She watched him walk away with his friends after the farewell, his laughter echoing in the corridor — and she knew, some loves are meant to stay as beautiful secrets.

Years later :- She is now a doctor but not a happy one when she asks herself "Do u wanted to be a doctor ? Are you living a happy life now ??"
The answer is always NO , destiny made her like that ,, Now she has an amazing fiancé and a beautiful partner in her life but why she still miss her school crush ??!
Why She still celebrating Ishnu's birthday secretly with her friends ? Why she gives treat to her friends on every achievents of Ishnu ?? Why she still smiles when she remembers him ??!!
Clearly there's No answers ,,

ishnu left but he will always remain closer to someone's heart ,to someone's 11:11 wish !
But things are little different now That girl Diva trying to find peace ,trying to find happiness on someone's hug ,someone's lap
Because sometimes, love doesn’t need to be returned to be real.
Sometimes, just feeling it is enough.

(I wish Diva's life was a perfect fairy tale , no its surely not but its almost a fairy tale !!)
