The Mystery of the Last Message
It was 12:47 a.m. The lights in the room were off, and Arian lay on his bed, staring at his phone. Outside, November’s cold wind tapped softly against the windowpane. Most people were asleep at this hour. But Arian couldn’t sleep.

A Reply Seven Years Late..
A Promising Message All of it started with a message I never expected to get a response to. I was a teenager in the summer of 2016 and had dreams and feelings in my heart that were too heavy to handle. Nashrah was a girl who not only stood out from the crowd but also made the entire world disappear with her smile. We went to the same coaching facility. My words were always caught in my throat as I admired her from a distance. I typed a message one evening while my hands were shaking and my heart was racing. "Assalamu Alaikum. I just wanted to say that you inspire me. I hope this doesn't seem strange. I sent it. No response came. That day not. That week not. Certainly not that year. While life moved on, something remained. The Importance of Silence I never again communicated. I thought to myself that maybe she didn't see it. She might not have been interested. Or, it could be that it was never meant to be. I got out of high school, started college, and got caught up in the whirlwind of life. But every now and then, I'd scroll back to that old conversation, that one message I hadn't read, which served as a subtle reminder that courage doesn't always bring closure. I never held her responsible for it. Instead, I silently conveyed my best wishes to her wherever she was. A New Message, a Day of Rain July 2023. After seven years As I went through old DMs to get rid of the past, the rain brushed against my window. In connection with the same unanswered message, her name reappeared once more. After smiling and shaking my head, I moved to archive it. The unthinkable happened next. A brand-new message surfaced. Towards her. "We salute Allah. I sincerely regret not responding earlier; I simply did not know what to say. I couldn't believe it as I stared at the screen. She had answered. Seven years later. Observations, not Rejections Some silences are pauses waiting for the right time, not rejections. We started chatting. The conversations were kind, straightforward, and open. She talked about things I didn't think she would: her problems, the pressures she had to deal with, how long she had been away from social media and how she didn't think she was worthy of kind words back then. One of her words stuck with me forever: "I read your email. I simply wasn't prepared. However, I kept it with me throughout the years. Sometimes, what we think has been forgotten just sits there waiting to happen. A Relationship Without Labels We no longer define what we have today. We're just here to talk, connect, and heal. I have no idea where this road will lead. Perhaps it's friendship. It might be more than that. Or perhaps it's merely a kind gesture of closure. However, one thing is certain: not all messages left unanswered are lost. Life occasionally responds, albeit slightly late. Final Thoughts: The Art of Timing There is more to this tale than just love. The quiet mystery of human connection, timing, and patience are at the heart of it. This should serve as a reminder to anyone who has ever sent a message and waited in silence: some connections take years to develop. However, when they do, they arrive precisely on time.

The Heart That Never Left: A Dog’s Unfading Love
A House Too Quiet When my father passed, the world seemed to pause. My mother, seeking solace, moved to a quiet corner of Oregon, where the pines whispered and the skies stretched wide.

Whispers from the Dark Drift
In the year 2142, Earth was no longer the center of civilization. Humanity had spread across the solar system, building domed cities on Mars, mining colonies on Jupiter’s moons, and floating research stations in the orbit of Saturn. But in all that advancement, something deeply human was lost — the hunger for wonder.
