The first time she called his name, she was sixteen.
He was twenty-four.
He looked at her with nothing more than amusement, ruffling her hair like he always did.
"You're just a kid."
She smiled anyway.
Because even then, she knew she loved him.
It wasn't love at first sight.
It was love built over years of waiting by the door whenever he came to visit her brother. Love hidden behind stolen glances, shared laughter, and silent prayers. Love that grew stronger every time he smiled at her... and shattered every time he reminded her she was only his best friend's little sister.
She confessed once.
He rejected her.
She confessed again.
He rejected her again.
Again.
And again.
Each rejection carved another crack into her heart until there was nothing left to hold on to except the hope that one day... he would choose her.
He never did.
So one morning, she left.
No goodbye.
No explanation.
Only silence.

Three years later...
She returned.
Not as the girl who chased after him with stars in her eyes.
But as a woman whose smile no longer reached her eyes.
She no longer waited for him.
No longer loved him openly.
No longer cried where he could see.
And when her family announced her marriage to another man...
She simply nodded.
Because if the man she had loved all her life could never fight for her...
Why should she keep waiting?
But fate has a cruel way of testing hearts.
The moment he saw another man standing beside her...
He finally realized the truth he had buried for years.
He had never rejected her because he didn't love her.
He rejected her because loving her felt wrong.
She was eight years younger.
She was his best friend's little sister.
He thought staying away would protect everyone.
Instead...
He lost the only woman he had ever loved.
Now, with her wedding day drawing closer, he has only one choice.
Watch her become someone else's...
Or become the reason the wedding never happens.
Because some stories aren't meant to end with goodbye.
They are simply...
