When We Were Us is a tender, slow-burning love story about timing, friendship, and rediscovery.
Zara and Malik weren’t inseparable—just perfectly comfortable in each other’s presence. Friends during their university years, they shared laughter, late-night conversations, and a quiet, growing connection they never quite named.
Seventeen years after they first met—and thirteen years since they last saw each other—they reconnect unexpectedly. What begins as a warm catch-up slowly stirs something deeper. Was it always there, waiting?
This is a story about love that took its time. About the spaces between youth and adulthood, distance and return, friendship and something much more lasting.
Sometimes, the one who got away never really left.
