Arthur was still recovering from the emotional wreckage of his first love. Every day felt like an uphill battle, but with Rojma's support, he started feeling a little more like himself. She was the kind of friend who didn't demand much, never asked for anything in return, but was always there when he needed someone to talk to, or simply someone to sit with in silence.
As the days passed, Arthur began finding solace in his studies again. Though he still found it difficult to concentrate at times, his determination grew stronger with each passing day. Rojma, seeing his efforts, made sure to encourage him without overwhelming him. She helped him with schoolwork, offering little tips and guidance, but most of all, she just kept being his quiet anchor.
Though Arthur had faced judgment and harsh treatment from his teachers, he started to prove to them—and most importantly, to himself—that he was more than what they saw. His classmates, who had once ignored him, now looked at him with newfound respect. Arthur didn't care much for their approval anymore; what mattered most was the progress he was making within himself.
With each test, he pushed himself harder. His grades started to improve, slowly but surely. His teachers began to see a different side of him—the quiet boy who had once been overlooked now excelled quietly, without boasting. In class, he answered questions confidently, and little by little, Arthur's transformation was evident.
The feeling of accomplishment wasn't just about the grades, though. Arthur felt like he was winning back pieces of himself he had lost in the darkness of his heartbreak. It wasn't about being the best student or outperforming others—it was about proving to himself that he could bounce back, stronger than before.
Still, the road wasn't without its bumps. There were times when the pressure felt unbearable, but Arthur knew one thing for sure: He had Rojma by his side, and that made everything more manageable.
