Villain — Chapter 2(ch-2): Shadows of Memory

Villain — Chapter 2(ch-2): Shadows of Memory

The darkness of night was slowly seeping into the room.

Every corner, every wall, every shadow — as if whispering the story of a haunting past.

Harry stood alone, motionless.

His face was calm, but inside him raged a storm — of love, pain, and memories that refused to fade.

Harry’s eyes were closed. He didn’t need anyone to speak — because a voice already echoed in his mind.

That one memory he could never escape —

the boy he once loved more than his own life.

Harry felt as though that memory walked beside him with every step (👣).

In every breath, in every heartbeat — he could still feel him.

The Depth of Memory

When Harry opened his eyes, he was back in that moment.

The boy stood before him — his eyes soft, filled with love, and a faint smile of relief on his lips.

Harry’s arms instinctively reached out, and the boy slowly fell into his embrace.

“You came back…” Harry whispered.

The boy looked exhausted but peaceful. From his trembling lips came the words —

> “I love you… I love you…”

Harry held him tighter, as if afraid that even the air might take him away.

Each breath, every second, every heartbeat was filled with that one emotion —

love, pain, fear of loss, and the fragile relief of reunion.

The Inner Conflict

But deep down, Harry knew — this wasn’t real.

It was only a memory.

He was still alone in the present.

That boy was gone.

And yet, the memory felt so vivid, so painfully real, that every step (👣) he took carried the echo of that love.

Tears welled up in Harry’s eyes, but there was a faint smile on his lips —

a smile mixed with pain, relief, and affection.

The same words echoed again in his head,

> “I love you… I love you…”

And Harry realized — this memory was the most precious thing he had left in his life.

Emotions in Silence

Harry moved slowly across the room.

Every corner, every shadow, every wall reminded him of that love.

In his mind, the scene replayed again and again —

the boy falling into his arms, smiling weakly through exhaustion, whispering softly,

> “I love you…”

Harry whispered to himself,

> “If I lose this memory… will my heart still remember how to beat?”

But somewhere deep within, he already knew the answer.

That memory was now part of his soul —

in his steps (👣), in his breath, in his heartbeat.

The Final Moment of Memory

Harry said softly,

> “You’ll always be with me… whether you’re here or just a shadow in my mind.”

Once more, he saw it —

the boy falling into his arms, smiling faintly with tired eyes, whispering again,

> “I love you… I love you…”

Harry bowed his head and closed his eyes.

Every step (👣) brought him closer to that one memory,

and one question kept echoing in his heart —

> “Who was the boy Harry truly loved?”
