After the Silence

☆
Sana didn’t text him.
Not even a hi
Not out of anger
She just didn’t know what to say to someone who felt so familiar and so far away at the same time.
So she stayed quiet.
Focused on her own group chat.
On the ones who stayed.
Especially Evan.
He had a way of making her days feel lighter.
Like things didn’t always have to be so heavy.
He noticed when she went quiet, but never forced her to speak.
Their chats was simple. Peaceful.
And maybe that’s what made them so special.

But even in the noise of her own world
She hadn’t forgotten Izaan.
Sometimes, she’d scroll through the history of the group chat he added her in.
Not to participate.
Just to look.
✦ — ✦
Everyone was chatting in his native language.
They were loud and free, fighting over games, teasing each other like real life's friends.
Sana understood most of it
She just didn’t fit in.
The group felt like a circle she had never been part of.
✦ — ✦
Maybe she was overthinking.
Maybe not.
But something inside her felt off.
Like she'd been left behind in a story she helped build.
He didn’t even try to explain.
No warning. No check-in.
Just a sudden shift in the air.
✦ — ✦
Two days passed.
And then..
A message.

I just didn’t know what to say after knowing everything like that
Izaan
Izaan
I didn’t mean to hide anything.

Izaan
I’m sorry Sana
୨♡୧
He said her name like he still had the right to.
But Sana was learning to carry herself differently now.
Not with anger..
Just with distance.
She replied softly.
No drama. No pleading.

Sana
Sana
i’m not mad
Sana
Sana
Just needed some air
Sana
Sana
I hope you’re happy, really..
୨♡୧
She didn’t wait for his reply.
She closed the chat and opened Evan’s.
The conversation was already flowing..
Jokes, random thoughts, that safe space they both somehow built.
· · ──── ·𖥸· ──── · ·
Sana leaned into it.
Not to move on.
But to feel normal again.
Because sometimes, healing starts in the most unexpected places.

Just like with me , my unexpected healing person was @Manu (Pikachu ) 📴 .I commented on her post, talked to her in PC, suddenly she came into my life and now she's a crucial part in it. 💚💙

Wait, 😳😲I think I get it. "Evan" is actually loosely based on our Bro Ethan, right?
