Relocation ke second month me tough week aaya.
Time difference, workload, missed calls.
Ek raat Anaya almost bol deti —
"Shayad ye mistake thi…"
Par usne call kiya instead of overthinking.
Aarav ne seedha kaha —
"Strong hona matlab struggle na hona nahi.
Strong hona matlab struggle ke baad bhi choose karna."
Weekend pe Aarav ne surprise visit plan ki.
Airport pe milte hi koi dramatic hug nahi.
Bas ek silent relief.
Anaya ne dheere se kaha —
"Direction yaad hai?"
Aarav muskuraya —
"Compass tum ho."
