Destiny

Chapter 9: Unspoken Desires

As Reena settled into her new apartment and embraced her fresh start, Rehaan remained steadfast in his commitment to helping her gain the confidence she deserved. His initial motivation had been to assist her in capturing Rohail's attention, but with each passing day, his intentions evolved, and his own emotions became increasingly entangled in the process.

Rehaan spent countless hours with Reena, helping her navigate her new surroundings and offering support in various aspects of her life. He accompanied her to work, listened to her dreams, and provided unwavering encouragement. He couldn't help but admire her resilience, strength, and newfound confidence, which had blossomed after the makeover.

The more time he spent with her, the more he grew to appreciate her company. He admired her kindness, her intelligence, and her ability to find beauty in the world even after facing adversity. Rehaan discovered that he was no longer just trying to make Rohail notice her; he was falling for Reena himself.

However, Rehaan knew that Reena's heart already belonged to Rohail. He had seen the way she looked at him, the longing in her eyes whenever Rohail entered the room. He couldn't bear to break her heart or jeopardize the friendship they had built.

So, he concealed his feelings, burying them deep within himself. He continued to support Reena, to be the friend she needed during this difficult period of her life. Rehaan's affection for her remained hidden, locked away in a place where it wouldn't disrupt the fragile equilibrium they had established.

Reena, unaware of Rehaan's growing affection, continued to confide in him about her feelings for Rohail. She talked about her dreams, her hopes, and the little moments she had shared with Rohail, even though her affection for him was unreciprocated.

Rehaan listened intently, offering comfort and encouragement as he masked his own unspoken desires. He knew that he couldn't let his emotions get in the way of Reena's happiness, no matter how deeply he had fallen for her.

As days turned into weeks, Rehaan's love for Reena remained a silent, unspoken secret, locked away in the chambers of his heart. He would continue to support her, even if it meant watching her love another. For Rehaan, her happiness was paramount, even if it came at the cost of his own unspoken love.

Rehaan stood in front of his mirror, staring at his reflection. He looked tired and worn down. He hadn't slept well in weeks. His mind was constantly racing, thinking about Reena and Rohail.

He knew that he should be happy for Reena. She was finally confessing her feelings to the man she loved. But he couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy. He was the one who had been there for her when she needed him. He was the one who had helped her to pick up the pieces of her life after she had been disowned by her family.

He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He knew that he couldn't let his feelings for Reena ruin their friendship. He needed to learn to cope with his feelings in a healthy way.

He walked over to his bed and sat down. He closed his eyes and tried to focus on his breathing. He imagined that he was in a peaceful forest, surrounded by trees and wildflowers. He could feel the warm sun on his skin and the cool breeze in his hair.

He took a deep breath of the fresh air and imagined that he was releasing all of his negative emotions. He felt his anger and jealousy start to melt away.

When he opened his eyes, he felt much calmer and more relaxed. He knew that he would never be able to forget his feelings for Reena, but he had to learn to live with them. He had to find a way to be happy for her, even if it meant that he couldn't be with her himself.

He stood up and walked over to his bookshelf. He picked up a book on meditation and opened it to a page on mindfulness. He sat down on the couch and began to read.

He read about the importance of being present in the moment and accepting your thoughts and feelings without judgment. He realized that this was exactly what he needed to do. He needed to learn to accept his feelings for Reena without letting them control him.

He closed the book and took a deep breath. He felt more at peace than he had in weeks. He knew that it would take time to heal, but he was determined to move on. He was determined to be happy for Reena, even if it meant that he couldn't be with her himself.

The next day

Rehaan woke up feeling refreshed and energized. He had slept well for the first time in weeks. He got out of bed and went to the bathroom to brush his teeth and wash his face.

He looked at his reflection in the mirror and smiled. He looked like a new man. He was finally ready to move on from his feelings for Reena.

He got dressed and went to the kitchen to make breakfast. He decided to make himself a smoothie. He blended together some bananas, berries, and yogurt. He took a sip and smiled. It was delicious.

He finished his smoothie and cleaned up the kitchen. Then he went to the living room and turned on the TV. He put on a documentary about the natural world.

He watched the documentary for a while, and he started to feel calm and relaxed. He loved learning about the natural world. It reminded him of his childhood, when he would spend hours exploring the forest near his home.

He watched the documentary for the rest of the morning. When it was finished, he felt refreshed and energized. He was ready to start his day.

He got up and walked to the door. He took a deep breath and opened it. He was ready to face the world.
