Chapter 1: The First Glance
She was a simple and innocent girl who had nothing to do with the complicated world outside.
Her happiness lived in small things — spending time with her family, laughing with her friends, and caring for everyone around her.
Love was never something she thought about.
She had never felt her heart beat for someone… until one day.
It was a normal evening. She had gone to the market with her family and was busy buying things when suddenly, her eyes stopped at someone.
A boy.
He looked calm, handsome, and a little older than her — maybe two or three years.
For the first time in her life, she found herself staring at a boy longer than usual.
Something felt different.
She didn't understand that feeling, so she ignored it and soon forgot about him.
But fate had other plans.
A week later, she was returning home from school, sitting in an auto with her friend, talking and looking around casually.
Suddenly, her eyes fell on a bike behind the auto.
Her heart skipped a beat.
It was him.
The same boy she had seen in the market.
For the first time, her heartbeat grew faster for someone.
The boy slowed his bike and started following the auto.
Their eyes met.
He gave her a calm, gentle smile.
She felt nervous and quickly turned her face away, pretending to look somewhere else.
But that small moment stayed in her mind forever.
Was it just a coincidence… or the beginning of something she never expected?
