Broken Heart Photo

Back in 2012, the streets of Kolkata were alive with colors, crowded markets, the beats of dhak drums, and happy faces enjoying Durga Puja. The city had its own charm — from narrow lanes to lively addas (casual group chats) under tea stalls. In the middle of all this noise and celebration, lived a quiet, shy boy named Suman.

Suman was your typical high-schooler, full of dreams but with a head always buried in his new phone. 📱 It was his first ever mobile — a small, simple device that let him listen to songs, chat with friends, and sneak peeks at Facebook. Back then, it was like holding a magic box in your hand!

🎶 The Best Friend Days: Raju & The New World of Internet

Suman’s partner in crime was Raju, his childhood buddy. They did everything together — playing cricket, downloading mushy Bollywood love songs 🎶, and giggling over silly Facebook posts. Back then, the internet was a new playground for them, and they’d stay glued to their phones till midnight.

But as always, life comes with a twist. 📖📚

When exam results came, both boys had to face a tough truth — their marks weren’t great. Suman’s family decided to move him to a different school, while Raju stayed behind. It was heartbreaking, like a part of him was left in that old classroom. 😢

💖 A New School, A New Crush

In his new school, Suman met Sukla — a bubbly, lively girl with a laugh that could light up a room. 🌸 She was kind, full of cheer, and loved helping others. Suman noticed her on his very first day and instantly liked her.

But being the shy, quiet boy he was, he never found the courage to say hello. Instead, he’d peek from behind his books or secretly glance at her while pretending to check the notice board. 😳
📖 The Teacher Who Believed in Him

Not everything was gloomy though. Suman got lucky with a kind, encouraging teacher named Shyamal Sir. Seeing potential in the quiet boy, he told him:

👉 “You can do great things, if you just believe in yourself.”

These words hit home. It was like someone switched on a little light inside his heart. Slowly, Suman started studying harder, leaving behind endless phone chats and Facebook scrolling.

👬 A New Best Friend: Santu

While school kept him busy, Suman also found a new friend in Santu. They became inseparable — sharing food during lunch breaks, cracking jokes in class, and preparing for their big board exams together.

When results came, Suman surprised everyone by scoring a brilliant 85%! 🎉 Sadly, Santu didn’t do as well, and their paths split again. Suman went on to college to study political science, while Santu had to stay back.

💓 Sangita: The College Crush

College was an exciting new world. New books, new friends, and of course — new stories. That’s where Suman met Sangita. She was loud, fearless, and had a spark in her eyes. She carried a heartbreak of her own, but something about Suman’s gentle nature made them good friends. 🌸

They’d talk about books, politics, and life over cups of chai at the canteen. Sangita liked how simple and kind Suman was, but she often thought he was too dreamy, too lost in his own world of poetry and thoughts.

And while neither of them ever confessed their feelings, it was clear there was a tiny spark between them.

👫 Sabir: A Friend Who Listened

Suman’s best buddy in college was Sabir — a warm, understanding boy who became the brother he never had. Whenever Suman felt confused about his growing affection for Sangita, Sabir was there to listen. They’d share notes, bunk boring lectures, and talk about life under shady trees on campus. 🌳

But life had other plans. Sangita struggled with academics and eventually dropped out of college. The day she left, Suman felt a quiet ache in his heart. He missed her laughter in the corridors, her playful scolding, and the way she tilted her head while thinking.

🎓 Moving On & Flying Far

Suman stayed focused on his studies. His hard work paid off, and his excellent grades opened doors for him — doors that led him far, far away.

He got a scholarship and moved to the United States for higher studies. 🌍✈️ It was a new world filled with new faces, cultures, and experiences. He made new friends, built a career, and slowly made a home in the foreign land.

💕 Finding New Love

In the U.S., life blessed him again. He met Anna — a cheerful, kind-hearted girl with a love for books, travel, and late-night talks. They fell in love, got married 💍, and built a cozy little world together. Sunday mornings were spent making pancakes, winters were for snow fights, and summers for long road trips. 🚗✨

Suman was happy, truly happy.

🌙 Late Night Memories

But sometimes, in the quiet of the night, when the snow would fall gently outside the window, memories of Sangita would come visiting.

He’d remember her loud laugh bouncing through college halls, the way she tucked her hair behind her ear when she blushed, and her sharp wit in debates.

He wondered — What if I had told her I loved her? Would she have said it back? Where is she now? Does she remember me?

And even though he loved Anna with all his heart, a small corner of his soul hummed a gentle, peaceful song for Sangita. 🎶💔

🌸 A Life Lesson from Kolkata’s Quiet Boy

Suman’s story teaches us something precious. Some people — no matter how long it’s been or where life takes us — stay in our hearts forever. Not because we didn’t move on, but because some memories are too beautiful to forget.

They aren’t obstacles; they’re like old songs you hum on rainy days, or old love letters you find in a dusty box. They’re part of the journey.
