NOTHING

You're My Best Friend!

NAINA'S POV

Why!! 

And I realized, I was ready to tell him everything.

"Because I fell in love with someone, for whom love wasn't priority" I mumbled and he looked at me.

"I was in high school. And... He was my senior . Sahil Arora" I started

"We were literally from enemy houses. The elite knights vs the Elite Stars. I was the vice captain of stars and he was the captain of knights. We knew each other since two years but you know never even talked because of the groups. Though, I knew he didn't have problem with me. I knew it since the day, I joined the group. Because he spoke to me softly. My whole group used to say me that I should become captain because the fights would stop since he... He had a soft corner for me. But, I never wanted to get into all this. In 12th, I was going home and my two wheeler broke in the middle. He saw that and stopped his bike asking me if he could help. Normally a boy would've given ride... He too asked for it but when I denied, he told me to walk after him and he took my two wheeler to near by garage and told the mechanic to prepare it urgently. That was time, when we talked for first time nicely" I said and he nodded.

"After that day.. I don't know when, we both started to leave school together and join each other in morning in mid ways. There was a spark between us and you know if spark collides... Either it produces light or it makes everything go black. For me, I thought it was light. I started to see him with different view. I used to notice small things about him. And the thing was, he too did the same. We started spending lot of time together. And eventually we fall in love. We were in first year of college though our college were different. But the problem was, for me we were the priority but for him, everything except us was priority. We were dating but I was the one who used to call, who used to plan things. It was my birthday. He promised that we'll be together for a good time. But then he had some urgent work and he had to leave. I asked him that he could stay least today. That was just the gift I wanted from him but he had to leave. So he left! Next day, I didn't call him. It went for two days... Then a week... Then a month. He never called or messaged. And I realized, it was just me who was in love! It was me who was making it work. May be.. He loved me but love was never a priority for him." I whispered as a small tear left my eye.

"After two months, he met me at a seminar and he told me that why didn't I ever contacted him back. And I asked, he could've done the same. That's when he said, he loved me but he has things which are more important then this all. And then I saw, he was already with someone else. Moved on without even thinking it necessary for even a closure. That was the day I totally realized, I fell for a wrong guy! And I left from there without a word. And you know, I was broken, I was hurt but I didn't regret my wholesomeness in that relationship. But I knew, he didn't deserve me. " I sighed

"After that, I distanced myself a bit from people. I was already an introvert and trusting people after this was bit tough. And moreover I was happy with those two three people in my life. I never wanted to repeat the same thing ever" I told

"How did you... Move past that" Arjun asked after a bit of silence

"Because I knew, I deserve better. I deserve the same ferocity of love which I give. Nothing less. And I ain't going to settle down for less ever now" I said and he nodded.

"You're very strong Naina. Very strong" He mumbled and I nodded when he wiped my tears.

"You're a cry baby too." He mumbled and I chuckled.

After a while Arjun sighed.

"Guess we've a bad luck in dating " He joked and I chuckled denying.

"I don't know. But I don't have bad luck in friends " I said and he raised his brow.
