The Once Enchanted is a poignant journey through silent love, quiet prayers, and the ache of letting go. When two souls briefly cross paths, one remains captivated by the other in silence, holding onto a connection that could never fully bloom. Set against the backdrop of everyday office life, one girl finds herself drawn to someone she barely knows. A stolen glance, a shy wave, a birthday confession that changes everything — and yet, time and circumstances seem determined to keep them apart.

What began as simple admiration slowly morphs into a tangled web of feelings she can no longer ignore. She never meant to fall for him. But when he becomes everything her heart notices, it becomes impossible to pretend the feelings aren’t there.

But timing isn’t always kind. And sometimes, love isn't enough — even when it's never fully realized.

In The Once Enchanted, experience the bittersweet beauty of a love that was never returned, the heartache of unspoken words, and the fragile dance between holding on and letting go. Through raw letters, tender confessions, and the deep longing of what could have been, this is a story about the quietest loves that echo the loudest.

Who is the "once enchanted"? Who is the person at the center of a love that never got the chance to fully unfold? The answers are buried between each word, and you may find yourself wishing for what you can never have — just as the characters do.

Step into a world where the quietest hearts speak the loudest.

This story is not just mine — it is the result of countless moments of reflection, growth, and quiet understanding. Writing it has been an emotional journey, and I want to take a moment to acknowledge the people and experiences that made this possible.


First and foremost, to those who have loved quietly, silently, from afar — this story is for you. You are the unsung heroes of your own hearts, and I hope that in these words, you find a piece of your own truth. Thank you for inspiring me to share this journey, to uncover the beauty in unspoken love.


To my readers, thank you for embracing this story and letting it live within you. Your support and kindness have made all the difference. Your ability to feel, to connect, to understand — even in the silences — is something I will always cherish.


To the people who taught me the value of letting go, and to those who helped me understand that love doesn't always need to be spoken to be real: your lessons have shaped this story in ways words cannot fully express. Thank you for showing me that sometimes, the greatest love is the one that quietly lingers in the heart.


And finally, to the moon, the stars, and the quiet corners of the universe that hold all of our unspoken prayers — thank you for reminding me that even the things left unsaid are part of the story. For every quiet prayer, every tear, and every wish made to the sky, this story exists because of you.
