The first hello
On a rainy afternoon in a small bookshop, Amina reached for the same novel Zayan had just picked up. He let her have the book. She offered him chai. The rain lasted an hour; the conversation lasted four.
Lahore / SpringOn a rainy afternoon in a small bookshop, Amina reached for the same novel Zayan had just picked up. He let her have the book. She offered him chai. The rain lasted an hour; the conversation lasted four.

Under the old trees where they had walked so many evenings, Zayan asked one question. Amina answered before he finished.
“Home became less of a place
and more of a person.”
