By Next Valentine

By Ram Bhupathy K

Every day at 1 PM, Raghav walks into Akanksha's cabin with his lunchbox.

No one questions it anymore. Not their friends. Not their colleagues. Not even them.

Because somewhere along the way, it stopped being just lunch. It became routine. Then comfort. Then something they never named.

A quiet kind of closeness built on shared silences, small observations, and moments that didn't ask for attention... but stayed anyway.

Until one day, Akanksha says it like a joke..."Before next Valentine's, you should get committed."

And Raghav says yes.

What he doesn't know is that she didn't say it casually.

Because while he spends a year trying to find someone to love, she spends that same year quietly loving him.

Without telling him. Without stopping him.

Now, with Valentine's Day just around the corner, she has a choice to make.

Tell him the truth...or watch him fall for someone else.

Because sometimes love doesn't need time to grow. It just needs the courage to be seen.

And sometimes...the person you're searching for has been sitting right in front of you all along.
