Destiny Of Love

2

The night was still young, but Karishma's mind raced with a storm of emotions. As she sat at her desk, the soft glow of the lamp casting a warm light across the pages before her, she found herself unable to focus on the medical textbook open in front of her. Her thoughts kept drifting to the one person who had captured her heart - her best friend, Haseena.

Karishma had always admired Haseena's unwavering determination, her sharp intellect, and her kind, compassionate nature. They had been inseparable since their first year at college, bonding over their shared passion for learning and their dreams of making a difference in the world. But over time, Karishma's feelings had deepened, evolving into a profound and all-consuming love that she dared not express.

Letting out a heavy sigh, Karishma pushed the textbook aside and reached for a blank sheet of paper. Her fingers trembled slightly as she picked up her pen, the nib poised to spill her heart's deepest secrets onto the page. Taking a deep breath, she began to write.

Love hurts ? I suppose most people confuse this things. That's not love that hurts, it's the expectations that hurt. But you know what, I am ruining myself by being in love with someone who don't have same feelings for me. The way you look at me, the way you smile at me, so perfect so fine. But the thought that keeps me up at night is...will you ever be mine ? I have wrote I don't know how many things about you, Eerytime I look at at you my heart beats a little faster, my smile becomes little genuine and my heaft flutters just by one sight of you. Being your best friend has been a true blessing, but it has also been a constant source of both joy and anguish. I cherish the moments we share, the laughter we exchange, and the dreams we discuss. Yet, there is a part of me that aches to be more than just a friend to you, to hold you in my arms and pour my heart out to you. I know the risks of revealing my feelings, the fear of jeopardizing our precious friendship. But the weight of keeping this secret has become too much to bear. I can no longer ignore the longing in my heart, the desire to be with you in a way that goes beyond the boundaries of our platonic bond. Haseena, you are the light that guides me, the one who inspires me to reach for the stars. You have become an integral part of my life, and the thought of losing you terrifies me. But I cannot go on hiding my true feelings, not when every moment with you fills me with a love so profound, it threatens to consume me. I know that by sharing this, I may risk everything we've built together. But I would rather take that chance than continue living with the regret of never having told you how I truly feel. You deserve to know the depths of my affection, the way my heart beats for you with every passing moment.Whether you choose to reciprocate my feelings or not, please know that you will forever hold a special place in my heart. You are my best friend, my confidante, my source of strength. And if that is all I can ever be to you, then I will cherish that with every fiber of my being. Those pretty eyes I will dedicate a line of my favourite song for you. 

Aankhein teri, kitni haseen...

Ke inka aashiq main ban gaya hoon.

Mujhko basaale in mein tu 

This is my favourite song because the day we met, this song was playing somewhere and it has been 5 years, this is still my favourite song and I'm still in love with you. 

Karishma read and reread the words she had poured onto the page, tears welling in her eyes. It was a risk, a leap of faith that could either bring her the greatest joy or the most devastating heartbreak. But she knew she could no longer keep this secret locked away, not when it threatened to consume her every waking moment.

Folding the letter carefully, Karishma placed it in an envelope and sealed it shut. Karishma looked at her diary she wrote last night. She came home after fest and Pushpaji has already gone to sleep, Karishma came in her bedroom, looked into the mirror and tears came out of her eyes. The pain in her heart was unbeafable. 

"Oh god, Why did you sent me this if you knew it will hurt me ?" Karishma said. 

As Karishma crawled into bed, the soft moonlight filtering through the curtains, she allowed her thoughts to drift back to Haseena. The way her eyes crinkled when she smiled, the sound of her laughter that could brighten even the gloomiest of days, the warmth of her embrace – these were the memories that Karishma held onto, the ones that gave her the strength to take this leap.

She pulled out her dairy, plub on her earphones and played Maula Mere Maula and starting writing. She didn't slept all night. She wrote. She cried. She studied. 

Closing her eyes, Karishma whispered a silent prayer, her heart pounding with a mix of fear and hope. Whatever the outcome, she knew that her love for Haseena would remain steadfast, a beacon in the darkness that threatened to engulf her. With that final thought, Karishma drifted off to sleep, the first rays of dawn peeking through the window.

And it has been 6 AM and the latter was sleeping, as the college starts from 9 AM, she could sleep for 2.5 hours more. 

It has been 8:30 now. Pushpaji came into her room and nodded in disbelief. 

"Karu...uth, college ka time ho gaya hai" pushpaji said

"Are Maa, sone do n" Karizhma mumbled under her sleep. 

"Nahi, uth warna paani daal dungi" Pushpaji threatened her.

Karishma wakes up and ran into the washroom leaving a laughing pushpaji behind. 

As Karishma made her way to the college campus, the familiar sights and sounds did little to calm her nerves. Her heart raced with each passing moment, her gaze constantly searching for Haseena's familiar face. 

Finally, as she approached their usual meeting spot, Karishma spotted her best friend, her breath catching in her throat at the sight of her.

"Haseena!" Karishma called out, her voice barely above a whisper.

Haseena turned, her face lighting up with a warm smile. "Krishu! I was just about to head to class. Are you ready?"

Karishma nodded, her mouth suddenly dry. "Y-yes, but before we go, there's something I need to talk to you about."

Haseena's brow furrowed in concern. "Krishu sab theek hai n,  Is everything alright?" 

Karishma took a deep breath, her fingers clutching the envelope in her bag. "Hu...Humare paas kuch hai tumhaare liye."
