The Girl whoSpokeToEmptySpaces :
Mira arrived in town during the monsoon season.
She talked to herself.
Or maybe to the air.
Or maybe to someone only she could see.
People avoided her. Aarav didn't.
He noticed that when she laughed, her eyes stayed sad.
And when she cried, she never made a sound.
They met at the old railway station—
A place where trains still passed, but no one waited anymore.
"You don't talk," Mira said casually, sitting beside him.
"You talk too much," Aarav replied, surprising himself.
It was the first sentence he had spoken in two years.
From that day on, they met every evening.
They didn't talk about love.
They talked about loss.
Mira had lost her brother.
Aarav had lost his father.
Both had lost the ability to believe in endings.
