Story: "Under the Same Roof"

The house was quiet. The rain cast shadows on the walls with the lines streaming down the window. The smell of coffee wafted from the kitchen—that familiar, warm smell. Nephys had woken up early again.

The reason she was staying in the same house as me was simple, really: My mother had gone out of town for a long time. Nephys had come to "keep an eye on things" as her closest friend. But as the days passed, the silence in this house turned into something else.

Nephys was orderly, quiet, always distant. There was a balance in every movement she made—as if she were measuring her emotions. But sometimes… when our fingertips touched as she handed me the coffee, we both held our breath. As if even a simple touch was too much.

One evening, as the rain poured down in buckets, we were sitting in the living room. I pretended to read a book, while she silently gazed out the window. His eyes were deep and pensive.

“Your mother must be proud of you,” he said in a soft voice.

"I don't know," I said. "But... it's good that you're here."

Nephys turned her head. She was silent for a moment.

"I just promised," she said. "That I wouldn't leave you alone."

But at that moment, our eyes met. Contrary to her words, there was something entirely different in her eyes. Something unsaid. A bond that couldn't be put into words.

In that moment, nothing happened between us—just silence. But that silence spoke volumes, more than a thousand words ever could.

Nephys' Feelings (Internal Monologue):

"When I look at him, something I don't want stirs inside me. It's as if the cold walls I've built over the years are cracking one by one.

Yet I shouldn't feel this way about anyone. I'm the one in control. Always. But he... he shatters my entire order with just one glance.

When he speaks, the tone of his voice silences my heart. His smile—damn it—makes me feel weak.

I want to protect him, but I also want to run away from him. Because being with him means facing myself.

Am I in love? No… or maybe yes.

Because every night when I close my eyes, I hear his voice. And in that moment, I realize:

Even a woman like me can miss someone.”
