WHERE MONSTERS FALL IN LOVE Episode 1

A tall building

in the centre of city stood like a crown

And inside a girl barely 22 sitting on her chair doing her work like a queen a warrior who survived in worst

sitting on her lether chair files papers neatly settle down looking at files

lazy author

ignore other things

the night was too deep to black

but she was working like she didn't get tired

it was 11:30 already

she stood up

looked at the night city dream called city

her eyes emotionless frozen eyes like they never move

then she said

to herself looking at the dark sky

Tripti Malhotra

“The same fucking tiring day... again.”❄

Her voice was quiet, bitter, like a whisper to the walls that never answered.

Tripti Malhotra

“I should go back,” *she muttered, grabbing her coat.* "But then paused."❄

Tripti Malhotra

“Back? For what? No one’s waiting for me.”❄

Tripti Malhotra

“But still... I have to go ❄.”Her eyes lingered on the empty desk, the untouched second cup of coffee she poured out of habit.

Her heels echoed as she walked out of the glass cabin, lights dimmed across the floor.

She stepped into the elevator alone. The screen flashed “Parking -2.” Everyone else had left at 8. It was 11:39

She said to herself,

Tripti Malhotra

“I’m alone. No one’s here. Of course not— they have families."❄

Tripti Malhotra

"Their families will be waiting for them.”❄

she sat in her car

She started driving her car. The city lights blurred through the windshield as the rain began to fall—soft, hesitant, like it was afraid to disturb her silence.

Tripti’s POV

Tripti Malhotra

"It’s not like I don’t have a family. I do. ❄ Mom. Dad. My aunt. My cousin brother, my cousin sister… and the two little ones—my baby sister and brother."❄

Tripti Malhotra

"I have everyone." ❄

Tripti Malhotra

"But still... Why does it feel like I’m the only one left in a world full of people? Hah." ❄

Tripti Malhotra

What am I even saying? I don’t have feelings.❄
