"The Last Message"
Riya never believed in fate… until the messages started.
It began on a rainy evening. Her phone buzzed with a notification from an unknown number:
"Don't take the 7:30 bus tomorrow."
She frowned. Wrong number? She ignored it.
The next day, she almost forgot—but something felt off. Still, she took a later bus instead.
That evening, news spread: the 7:30 bus had met with an accident.
Riya's heart raced.
Over the next few days, more messages came:
"Take an umbrella tomorrow."
"Avoid the shortcut near the old bridge."
"Wear blue on Friday."
Every message turned out to matter.
Confused and curious, she finally replied:
"Who are you?"
A few seconds later:
"Someone who cares about you."
Days turned into weeks. The mysterious sender became part of her life. They never revealed their name, but they knew everything—her favorite songs, her fear of thunderstorms, even the way she overthought small things.
One night, she typed:
"Why are you helping me?"
After a long pause, the reply came:
"Because I love you."
Her heart skipped.
"But… I don't even know you."
"You do. Just not like this."
Riya couldn't sleep that night.
The next morning, she found another message:
"Meet me tomorrow. 5 PM. Old library."
Her hands trembled. This was it.
The next day, she reached the abandoned library. Dust floated in the sunlight. Silence filled the air.
"Hello?" she called.
No answer.
Her phone buzzed.
"Go to the back room."
She hesitated, then walked slowly.
Inside, she found… a photo frame.
It was her… standing beside a boy she didn't remember.
On the back, written in faded ink:
"Riya & Aarav – forever, even if you forget."
Her head started hurting. Memories flickered—laughter, late-night talks, promises…
Then suddenly—
Everything came back.
Aarav.
Her boyfriend.
The accident.
He didn't survive… but she did.
And in the trauma, she had forgotten him completely.
Tears streamed down her face.
Her phone buzzed one last time.
"Now you remember."
"That's all I wanted."
"Take care, Riya."
"I love you. Always."
The number went offline forever.
Riya stood there, crying and smiling at the same time.
Because somehow…
even after death…
he found a way to love her again..
"Some love.... Never leaves...✨
