🧠 **Unknown Mind: Viyan’s Diary – Part 17: The Truth She Hid**
After remembering…
I couldn’t sleep.
I needed to find her again —
**truly** this time.
But all I had… was a clue.
A name.
A bookstore from our college memories.
And then, behind the last shelf…
I found it.
**Yalini’s diary.**
Left there. As if waiting.
---
The pages were soft.
The ink faint.
But every word felt loud.
**Entry – One week after Viyan disappeared:**
> “He’s gone.
> I saw it in his eyes.
> He’s breathing, walking, existing…
> but Viyan is not there.”
---
**Entry – The day before she left the city:**
> “I thought I was his light.
> But maybe… he didn’t want to be seen.”
> “I wrote a story about us.
> But in mine, he remembers me before the end.”
---
The pages carried pain.
Not anger.
But love — wrapped in silence.
She had noticed everything.
My withdrawal.
My fake smiles.
My fear.
But she never left bitter.
---
**Final Entry – Untitled:**
> “If he ever finds this,
> tell him I didn’t wait because I was weak.
> I waited…
> because what we had was strong.”
---
I held her diary close.
And for the first time in years,
I whispered her name without fear.
> “Yalini… I’m coming back.
> Not to start over.
> But to finally say what I never did.”
