Ravi always chose the last bench in class—not because he wasn’t interested, but because it gave him a view of the world that no one else
seemed to notice. From back there, he observed everything: the patterns in people’s behavior, the moments between moments.
One day, in the middle of the semester, a girl sat beside him. Without asking. She wore a charcoal-black coat and carried a sketchbook filled
with strange, beautiful drawings. Her name was Tara.
They didn’t talk at first. But every day, she came, sat silently, and sketched. Curious, Ravi peeked once and saw a drawing of a bird—wings
spread, tangled in a barbed wire.
From that day on, they began to talk in fragments—through sketches, notes, sometimes just glances. They became friends, maybe more, bound
by their quietness.
She left behind a single page on the desk. It was a drawing of two people on a last bench, surrounded by flying birds—no wires, no cages.
Ravi smiled. She had set her freedom free. And somewhere, in a sketchbook of his own, he began drawing too.
