How Many Light Years Across Is The Milky Way

"Some connections are written long before two hearts ever meet." Arjun never believed in fate — just another lost soul buried in the noise of textbooks and deadlines. Ayesha was a quiet storm, hiding a fragile heart behind glowing smiles and disappearing messages. They were just two strangers — separated by borders, bound by pixels on a screen. But what starts as casual texts in the dead of night slowly turns into something neither of them can explain. A bond stitched through unseen heartbeats. A love whispered through endless silences. But every heartbeat carries secrets... and some secrets are too heavy to cross the distance. When time begins slipping through Ayesha's fingers, Arjun finds himself caught between holding on or letting go. Will their hearts find each other in the silence — or will destiny write their last message before they ever meet?

The Observer I didn't mean to notice her. But now that I have, I can't look away. I'm drawn to her strength, her sorrow, the way she hopes. The way she looks at him, sleeping, unaware... My cravings aren’t for flesh alone. It’s her essence I hunger for, her spirit. I don’t wish to hurt her—only to taste what makes her whole. I'll keep watching, sharing her silence, feeling her pain. Until I can make her see me. And once she does, I'll help her heal. Not even when she tells me to go. The Observed I can feel his gaze, even from a distance. I should be uncomfortable, but I'm not. There's a comfort in his presence, a solace in his silent support. He doesn't judge my tears, my fears, my desperate pleas. He just watches, understands, and somehow, shares my burden. I can't look away, not when I need him to stay. Not when I want him to come closer. Even as I sit here, holding onto a love that's slipping away, I find myself drawn to the observer.
