The Flower Cart Confession

Riya loved stopping at the flower cart near her office. One morning, she noticed a note tucked into her usual bunch of lilies:

“You make this street brighter. —A Secret Admirer”

For weeks, more notes followed — sweet words hidden among petals.

Curious, Riya waited one evening and saw Aryan — the quiet vendor’s son — shyly watching her from afar.

“You?” she smiled, walking up to him.

Aryan blushed. “I… I just wanted to tell you… your smile makes my day.”

Riya chuckled, taking the flowers. “Then I’ll keep smiling… if you keep writing.”
