Prem nervously smiled at Maya as she walked towards him. She had said that she had developed feelings for him the previous night and he hadn't known what to say.

❝ Why are you so anxious today? ❞

She asked in their fifth round.

❝ I- ❞

❝ Is it because of my confession? I'm sorry, you don't have to be awkward because of that entire thing. Those are my feelings and it's okay if you don't reciprocate. Our friendship's more important ❞

Except Prem had also started to fall. Started to imagine about a new world. Started to wonder about the endless possibilities in the universe. But, what stopped him was a fear. A crippling terror that he was bound to lose every person he loved.
