Behind Her Eyes

It began like all tragedies do - quietlyNot with screams. Not with blood.But with love.Arman saw Meher in the old university library on a warm spring afternoon. sunlight splling through tall windows and gathering in pools across the marble floor. She stood near the history shelves, a book tucked beneath one arms, strands of dark hair falling loose around her face as she searched for something."Mughal architecture?" Arman asked, pretending coincidence.Meher glanced at him briefly before smiling. "You too?"That smile changed everything.Years later, Arman would try to remember the exact sound of her laughter from that afternoon. He would sit awake in darkness, desperate to hold onto it - the softness of it, the warmth, before memory twisted it into something else entirely.Back then, though, life had seemed impossibly simple.They fell in love slowly, the way rain gathers before a storm. Shared cups of tea became long evening walks. Long walks became whispered promises beneath st

The Poison of Small Things

The rain stayed for days.Not violent storms. Not dramatic thunder. Just endless rain. The kind that settles quietly over a town and slowly changes everything beneath it. The roads softened first.Then the sky disappeared.Then the silence inside the house began to change. Arman noticed it gradually, At first, he blamed exhaustion. Work had been demanding lately. The long drives between towns, the endless paperwork, the pressure of keeping up with bills and responsibilities - all of it followed him home now like a second shadow.Still, home had always felt safe before. Warm. But lately, something inside it felt slightly off. Not broken. Just... different.Meher forgetting conversations halfway through. Leaving cabinet doors open. Burning food she normally cooked perfectly.One evening, Arman returned home to find the kettle boiling violently over the stove while Meher stood near the back window staring outside. The kitchen smelled faintly burnt.“Meher.”No response.He ste

What Love Became

By morning, the rain had stopped.But something inside the house had changed forever.The silence no longer felt peaceful. It pressed against the walls like breath trapped inside a coffin. Even Zara seemed to sense it, moving quietly through rooms with wide, uncertain eyes.Meher barely came downstairs. When she did, her face looked pale and hollow, shadows bruising the skin beneath her eyes. She avoided looking directly at Arman, and when their gazes accidentally met, something unreadable flickered across her expression.Fear. Or guilt.Arman no longer knew the difference. And somehow, that frightened him most of all.The days stretched painfully after Zara’s homework confession.Meher tried speaking several times.“Arman, please…”“We should talk…”“You’re misunderstanding—”But every word sounded distant to him now, muffled beneath the roaring inside his own head.At work, he found himself staring blankly at reports he could no longer process. Numbers blurred together meaninglessly

Beneath The Trees

Days after the storm, the town still smelled damp and rotten.Rainwater clung stubbornly to the earth, turning roads into dark streaks of mud while moisture settled deep into walls, furniture, and skin alike. The forest surrounding the town looked darker somehow, swollen with moisture and silence. Even the air inside the house carried the stale heaviness of wet wood and closed rooms.For a while, the lie survived. People believed Meher had run away. The town whispered about shame in lowered voices - about affairs, broken marriages, women who abandoned their families for other men. In a place so small, scandal traveled faster than sympathy.Arman let them believe it. It was easier that way. Easier than the truth buried beneath the forest.The first few days after Meher’s disappearance passed in a blur of numbness and exhaustion.Neighbors began arriving almost immediately.Women from nearby houses brought covered dishes and soft voices into the home that no longer sounded like itself.

When Grief Learns to Speak

The rain returned again that evening.Not loudly.Not with violent thunder or screaming wind.Just soft endless rain drifting across the town in silver sheets while darkness settled slowly through the forest beyond the house. The trees swayed gently beneath the storm, their branches moving like shadows whispering to one another in the dark.By the time Arman reached home, exhaustion had settled so deeply into his body it no longer felt physical.It felt permanent.His hands trembled slightly while unlocking the front door. His eyes burned from sleeplessness. Every muscle in his body ached beneath the weight of too many nights spent awake listening for sounds he prayed were imaginary.The house greeted him with silence. A lamp glowed softly near the living room couch. Zara’s small shoes sat neatly beside the doorway. Somewhere deeper inside the house, a clock ticked slowly through the dark.For several long moments, Arman remained standing in the kitchen listening to rain move through
