Chapter 2 - Love in an unknown city

On a rainy evening, Ariba stood by the roadside, watching the unfamiliar city lights blur through the falling rain. Everything felt strange—the people, the noise, the loneliness.

She had just moved here to chase her dreams, but deep inside, she felt completely lost.

Suddenly, a car stopped right in front of her.

"Can't you walk properly?" the driver said in an annoyed tone.

Ariba looked up, slightly scared but also irritated. "Maybe you should learn how to drive carefully!"

The boy rolled his eyes. "Unbelievable."

"Excuse me?" she replied, crossing her arms.

That was their first meeting—unexpected, awkward, and filled with irritation.

His name was Rayan.

Days passed, and somehow, they kept running into each other. At a café, at the university, even on quiet streets. Every meeting started with arguments, but slowly, those arguments turned into conversations… and those conversations into something neither of them expected.

Rayan was not as rude as he seemed. Behind his cold attitude was someone who cared deeply, someone who had been hurt before.

And Ariba—she brought light into his world.

But love is never simple.

One misunderstanding changed everything.

A silence grew between them.

And one day, Ariba left… without saying goodbye.

Rayan stood alone in the same rainy street where they first met, realizing too late that he had lost the one person who truly understood him.

But sometimes, love deserves a second chance…
