Every morning, Zara entered the classroom early.She would sit near the window, bring out her books, and place one extra pen on the desk beside her.Nobody was allowed to sit there.“That seat is free,” her friend, Nneka, said one day.Zara smiled softly. “No, it is taken.”“Taken by who?”Zara looked at the empty chair.“By someone who promised he would come back.”For three months, the chair remained empty.Students changed seats. Teachers changed. The rain came and went. But Zara still kept the seat beside her.Then one afternoon, their class teacher called Zara outside.She held an old envelope in her hand.“This was found in the school office,” the teacher said quietly. “It was meant for you.”Zara opened it with shaking hands.Inside was a letter from Jayden.Zara, I am sorry I left without saying goodbye. My family moved suddenly because my father was sick. I wanted to call you, but I was scared you would hate me.Please don’t wait for me forever.Zara read the last line again.Then she looked through the classroom window at the empty seat beside her.For the first time, she removed the extra pen.But she did not throw it away.
