A week has passed since the tour. 🚌School is back to its old routine—classes 📚, mischief 😜, spicy jhalmuri at the canteen 🌶️🍲, and loud last bench gossip 🗣️.
Ohona still doesn't talk much 🤫—but she doesn't sit alone anymore.Sometimes, she's seen in the library 📖, standing beside someone, quietly looking through books 📚👀.
Tanid, though, still watches from a distance 👀💭—thinking only he sees her.But actually, there's another pair of eyes on him too... Safia. 👁️🗨️✨
🌧️ One rainy day, during a break between classes…Everyone is running to the canteen, laughing and shouting 🏃♂️🏃♀️☔🍟.
Ohona is sitting alone in the corridor—glass half full of water 💧, scribbling something in her notebook ✍️📒.
Tanid is debating hard with himself—Should I go? Should I not? 😖🌀But before he can move… Safia walks over. 🚶♀️✨
Safia: "Mind if I sit with you...?" 😊Ohona: (Startled at first 😳, then nods gently) "Hmm." 🙃
They sit in silence for a moment... then Safia asks:Safia: "So... what do you think of our No Pera Family?" 🧡👨👩👧👦Ohona: (pauses, thinks 🤔) "Strange… but fun." 😅🎈Safia: "We're all kind of strange." 😌💫
🌆 Later that afternoon, as usual, the group gathers behind the school building for their daily adda 🪑🎉.
But today, there's a soft buzz among them—Will Ohona come? 🤨💬Justin, of course, places his bet:Justin: "She won't show up today either. Just watch!" 🙄💸Ayan: "You clown 🤡, she just needs time. Try being human, you'd get it. 😤"
And then… they see her—Ohona, slowly walking their way. 🚶♀️🌸Tanid smiles quietly 😌—says nothing, just shifts a little to make room. 🪑❤️
Ohona comes and sits—right in the middle of the group.And next to Tanid. 🫢💞
Tanid blushes just a bit ☺️, but doesn't say anything.📌 In her eyes today, there's no distance—only a soft tiredness 💤 and a calm trust 🌙🤍.Looking around at the "No Pera Family," it's like Ohona has found her own little space. 🌻🏠
Tanid, glancing sideways, thinks:"Maybe I'm still not someone close to her. But today, she chose to sit here… and that's enough." 🌈✨
