I am bored...
Kidding! I have loads of work to do 😣.

After reading this chapter definitions of love will become a more step clear.

•Avinash•

I looked at myself in the mirror for the last time and left the washroom. Coming out, I started taking deep breaths trying to divert my mind from the memories and words.

I was concentrating on my breaths when someone poked me from the side. I looked over and saw Naisha looking at me grinning.

I returned her a small smile massaging my forehead and asked "What happened?"

Hearing no response I looked over where she was standing and saw her fidgeting with her fingers.

"Huh? What happened, yaar?" I asked, concerned to which she shook her head looking down.

What am I supposed to do?

I remembered, Mihu has said to me once, To always look into the eyes of a nervous person to decrease his/her nervousness.

"Naisha, what happened? Look at me." I said, to which Naisha slowly lifted her head up. "Now tell what happened?"

"Avi-Avinash... Hash this is difficult!" She mumbled while I looked at her puzzled. "Tell baba, Do you need any help?"

I saw Naisha shaking her head. "Okay.. Take deep breaths and then tell me!"

She nodded her head and started taking deep breaths while I looked at her in concern and confused. What has happened to her?

"Avinash listen! Okay?" Naishu said while looking at me to which I nodded my head for her to continue.

"AvinashIlikeyouiknowitissosoonbutifiamconfusedwhyilikeyou.. uff.. it'sdifficult." Naishu said and I looked at her confused.

"You what? Can you say again?" I asked her to which she looked down and said "Avinash I like you." which made me freeze.

"Avinash, like turns to love. You wait and watch. This likeness will be boundless."

"I don't believe in that Mihu. Like and Love are way too different, Right?"

"Duffo! You liked music and now you love it. How is it possible if likeness doesn't turn to love!"

"Okay ma'am. I got that! Liking is a way to love..."

"Oh god! Why is My Super Singer, Super Confused Singer? He gets points so late."

.

Can it be possible? The same likeness love Mihu said to me.. Is Naishu talking about that?

I was busy thinking about it when Naisha shook me. I looked at her, she must be talking about friendship liking. Because I remember how hell nervous Mihu was when she said that she likes-

"Huh? Avinash god! Say something." Naisha complained while I opened my mouth and closed it, being confused on what to say.

"Naishu, I like you too, like a friend. The way you do." I replied and she looked at me with wide eyes, I told her the truth then why is she shocked?

"You li.. Like me.. Ju..just as a fr...friend?" She asked me amd I nodded. Her eyes turned glassy seeing me. Shit! She really like me, not as a friend.

"I am so-" I was stopped by Naisha when she said "Sorry Avinash, but I don't like you just as a friend.. It's much more than that.. Sorry."

I looked at her shocked, not knowing what to do as she cried beside me while placing her hands on her face.

"How can I like someone Naishu? When I myself hate, the emotion of love." I thought sadly.

"No need to be sorry. We can't control our likeness over someone, can we?" I asked her to which she shook her head looking down.

"Naishu, look at me." I said stubbornly and she looked at me. "Sorry but I don't like you.. And to be true I can never do.. I hate the name of love and I won't ever love someone."

She wiped her eyes and smiled at me then said,"Still let me try for once. Try to believe in love once, please for me."

I shook my head and looked down. Looking at the floor I whispered "I can't, I never can." You won't understand how it feels losing your special star in the name of love, I wanted to add but reframed myself.

"Try to get over the feelings.. Because it won't take you anywhere." I said curtly and left the cafe.

•Naisha•

"Try to get over the feelings.. Because if won't take you anywhere."

Avi said and left the cafe, just like this. While I stood here thinking if I was too fast to like him? Or was my bluntness the reason he said that?

He said he can't love me because he doesn't believe in it. But why so? Why can't he try? Just one chance is what I asked for. And why did he said I like him as a friend? Wasn't my likeness and fondness visible to him like my friends saw it.

I felt my head banging with so many thoughts which I can't control. I wanted someone to talk to me. But with whom can I? Priya? Will she understand my feelings or will she support him? Or my friends?

Ugh! Why it is so difficult for me. For once in life after college days I tried to like someone and that person also didn't think for a second before rejecting me, But do I deserve it?

Feeling confused and tense, I left the cafe after messaging Priya about my departure.

•Priya•

'Sorry, but I am going home.'

I looked at Naisha's message for minutes to comprehend why she said that? What did he say about her proposal? He likes her too?

My mind was flooded with negative thoughts making it difficult for me to think and the crowd was too much to handle that's why I went outside the cafe to breathe in fresh air but I still can't think.

Everything was good till half an hour and suddenly, Naisha told me she likes Avinash. To say I was shocked, would be an understatement, but somehow I knew they both would end up together and this likeness towards each other by Naisha and Avinash was bound to happen.

But it still hurts, I just can't see him with someone and I can't do anything because that someone is my best friend. My fate always puts me in unwanted paths. This time I don't have an option too.

I can't even fight! With whom will I fight for love? My best friend? Who always helped me the best way she could and was there for me?

I don't understand for which mistake god is punishing me so much. Is Loving someone is also a crime in his eyes?
Why can't I have my own story of love? A story where I will have the person I like.

Suddenly, I started feeling numb and suffocated from inside and adding to problems by head started to ache as well.

Priya.. Slow breaths!
Slow breaths!
Slow breaths!

I said to myself and after 10 minutes, I was finally calm.

Feeling visibly relaxed I looked around and saw that the roads were less crowded as it was just 8pm. I rubbed my palms and took my phone to call a cab.

When the cab came, I ordered the driver to drive to my peace point.. Where I go to rarely and only when I'm way too tensed.

I know Mihu part is confusing.. But if you will read it I think you might will get some clue.
