one sided 👀

She'd watched him for three months at the Srivilliputhur temple during evening Bharatanatyam classes. His eyes never wandered from the guru's movements, while hers kept drifting sideways. When PaybookClub started meeting at the community center, she finally gathered courage to sit near him. They discussed Tamil literature, classical arts, their dreams. He laughed at her jokes. Last week, he asked about her favorite dance piece. Their conversation flowed like rivers meeting the sea. Perhaps it was never one-sided after all. Sometimes love waits for the right moment, the right story, the right community to witness two hearts finally turning toward each other.
