The camera drifts away from Barfi and Miko in the library ๐ฅ
Slow. Careful. Respectful.
Their heads bend over books ๐
Pens move quietly โ๏ธ
Breathing syncs without them noticing ๐ฎโ๐จ
The hallway slides past ๐ซ
Footsteps echo faintly ๐ฃ
Sound fades.
The stairs descend โฌ๏ธ
Light warms ๐ค๏ธ
Air opens.
The college garden appears ๐ณ
Leaves glow green ๐
Sunlight rests softly on everything ๐
A boy and a girl sit beneath a flowering tree ๐ธ
Close. Not touching. Yet.
They speak in low voices ๐คซ
Words gentle. Measured.
The boy leans in a little โก๏ธ
The girl tucks her hair back behind her ear ๐โโ๏ธ
Nervous habit.
A breeze passes ๐
Not cold.
Not warm.
Encouraging.
She laughs ๐
Soft. Brief. Sweet.
Her phone slips ๐ฑโฌ๏ธ
It lands between them.
Both reach at the same time โโ
Their fingers touch ๐ค
Everything pauses โธ๏ธ
Heartbeat loud ๐
Breath caught ๐ฎ
Her eyes widen ๐ณ
Color rises to her cheeks ๐ธ
He swallows ๐ถ
Words disappear.
Their fingers stay.
Not gripping โ
Not pulling away โ
Just there ๐ค
Time thins โณ
Perfect.
๐ STOMP ๐ฅ
The world collapses.
A massive shoe slams down ๐จ
Pain explodes โก
The boy screams ๐ซ
The girl gasps ๐
Magic dies instantly ๐
Standing over themโ
Pablo Chokobar ๐
Second year ๐
Walking disaster ๐ฅ
Noise in human form ๐ข
He looks down.
No guilt ๐
"Move," he says.
"You're blocking the bench."
Anger sparks ๐ฅ
"You crushed our hands!" the boy snaps ๐ก
Pablo shrugs ๐คท
"Good. Builds character."
The girl hisses ๐
"Idiot."
Pablo walks off ๐ถ
Unbothered.
Untouched.
Everyone hates him ๐
Teachers curse him silently ๐ค
Students scatter ๐ซ
Chaos in uniform ๐ช๏ธ
Today, he hums ๐ถ
Mood light.
Because he has a goal ๐ฏ
A dream ๐ญ
A girl ๐ธ
Miko.
Angel of the campus ๐
Untouchable.
Desired.
He spots her through the library window ๐
Heart spikes ๐
Smile spreads ๐
Thenโ
It stops โ๏ธ
Barfi is there.
Sitting beside her ๐
Quiet.
Focused.
Heads close ๐ฅ
Voices low ๐คซ
Miko smiles at Barfi ๐
Something inside Pablo snaps ๐
Fists clench โ
Breath sharpens ๐ฅ
The breeze turns hot ๐ก๏ธ
"Whoโฆ"
"the hellโฆ"
"is that guy?" ๐ก
A new enemy is born โ๏ธ
Pablo marches across campus ๐
Heavy. Direct.
Students move aside ๐ถโโ๏ธ
Whispers follow ๐ฃ๏ธ
"Love mode againโฆ"
"Which girl now?"
"God help her." ๐
He hears nothing ๐ซ
Inside the libraryโ
Miko explains something ๐ง
Barfi frowns ๐ค
Leans closer โก๏ธ
She tilts her head playfully ๐
Whispers hints.
Pablo's thoughts ignite ๐ฃ
"That guyโฆ"
"THAT guyโฆ"
"is stealing my future wife." ๐
Knuckles crack ๐ฅ
"Time to introduce myself."
Barfi scratches his head ๐
"Mikoโฆ are you sure this works?"
She nods ๐
"You always skip this step."
Confusion ๐ณ
"Every time?"
She leans closer โก๏ธ
"Yes. Every time."
Embarrassment hits ๐
"O-Ohโฆ"
Her gaze stays ๐
Too long โณ
Her fingers brush his wrist ๐ค
Passing a pen โ๏ธ
Barfi doesn't notice ๐ถ
She does ๐ณ
Color blooms in her ears ๐ธ
"Your watchโฆ" she murmurs โ
"It looks good."
Barfi smiles simply ๐
"My brother gave it."
She nods ๐
Glad.
Something has shifted ๐
๐ฅ SLAM
Pablo's hand hits the table โ
"BARFI!"
"I CHALLENGE YOU!"
Barfi barely looks up ๐
"For what? Spelling bee?"
Snickers ripple ๐
"BOXING MATCH!"
"FOR MIKO!"
"No." โ
"You scared!?"
"Yes," Barfi says politely ๐
Insult thrown ๐
"Thank you," returned calmly ๐
Pablo cracks ๐
"If you don't fightโ
you're not a man."
Barfi puts his pen down โ๏ธ
"I am a man who studies."
"Now leave."
Miko's voice cuts sharp ๐ฅ
"Go away."
Pablo storms out ๐ค
Room exhales ๐ฎโ๐จ
Outsideโ
Barfi hums softly ๐ถ
Mind light.
Thenโ
He stops โ๏ธ
His bicycle ๐ฒ
Pink ribbons ๐
Basket crushed ๐งบ
Bent. Broken.
Pablo stands over it ๐
Laughing ๐
"Your girly cycle broke?"
Barfi doesn't move ๐ถ
Pablo kicks it ๐
"Oops."
Something trembles inside Barfi ๐
"It looked stupid," Pablo sneers.
"Just like you."
Breathing deepens ๐ค
"Your brother must be an idiotโ"
โก SNAP โก
Years of pain detonate ๐ฅ
No warning โ
No thought โ
Movement.
Every hunger ๐ฝ๏ธ
Every insult ๐ฃ๏ธ
Every night alone ๐
Every fear ๐ฐ
Every quiet gift ๐
Explodes.
Barfi grabs Pablo's collar โ
Voice shakes ๐ก
"You can insult me."
"Call me weak."
"Call me poor."
Pablo panics ๐จ
Barfi lifts him ๐ช
"But you don't touchโ"
"my family's gift."
Punch ๐ฅ
Another ๐ฅ
Another ๐ฅ
Wild. Burning. Empty ๐ฅ๐ณ๏ธ
Students scream ๐ฑ
No one moves ๐ง
The gentle boy is gone โ
Tears fall ๐ข
Unnoticed.
"Miko-san!" someone shouts ๐ข
She runs ๐โโ๏ธ
Stops dead โ๏ธ
Barfi on top of Pablo
Fists red ๐ฉธ
Eyes hollow ๐๏ธ
Pablo sobbing ๐ญ
"Barfi-sanโฆ?"
No response ๐ซ
Miko steps closer ๐ค
Voice shaking ๐ฐ
"It's okay now."
Her hand touches his back โ
Barfi freezes ๐ง
Breath slows ๐ฎโ๐จ
Fists loosen โโก๏ธโ
He looks at her ๐
No fear.
Only worry ๐ค
He looks at his hands ๐๏ธ
And for the first timeโ
Barfi feels something new ๐ฑ
Not rage.
Not shame.
Control.
