Something has changed

Oops! This image does not follow our content guidelines. To continue publishing, please remove it or upload a different image.

Something has changed .. not in the wrong way but neither in right way .
I want to clam my heart down but it doesn't , not even a little bit .

And on the top of the list my cheeks..which is now pink by blushing so hard .

It's strange.
How one small thing-one simple gift-can make you feel everything you've tried so hard not to.

I shouldn't be thinking about him like this. Kyuki vo mera dost hai , right?
Not after everything I've been through.
Not after what love did to me last time.

But tonight, something changed.
And I can't pretend I didn't feel it.
Even if I pretend when I look myself in the mirror the proof is written on my face .

He invited us to his party . I went there just because mahi forced me . And I thought it was okay . Cause ghar pe pade rehke bhi kuch fayda nahi hai .

when I walked in, my eyes searched for him anyway.

And when I saw him smile at me across the room, something inside me softened-just a little. Just enough to scare me.

He hugged me like he meant it. Like I wasn't just another guest, but someone he'd been waiting for. And that's dangerous, isn't it?
Dangerous enough to warn me to take a step back .
When someone makes you feel wanted without even saying the words.

I stayed near him all night.
He didn't push. He never does.
He's the quiet kind of safe-the kind that doesn't ask questions you're not ready to answer. The kind that makes you feel seen without being exposed.

Cause he always like this ? No !!
The Rishi i know he never been this sweet towards a girl .

And yes maybe he act like this cause I'm his friend , right?

And maybe that's why I found myself alone with him in his kitchen , the noise of the party fading behind the kitchen like it wasn't important anymore.

He pulled out a tiny box from his black coat ,
Said:

"I got you something."

And I froze

He handed me the box .

Inside the box was a necklace.
A simple silver moon.
Delicate. Honest. Thoughtful in the way only he could be.

"It reminded me of you," he said.

And for a second, I didn't know what to do with that. Nobody has give me something so special so I can keep it with me other than my family.
How do you hold something gentle when you've only known sharp edges?

Still... I asked him to put it on me.

I don't know why. Maybe I wanted to see if I could let someone close again , and yes I let him . Maybe I wanted to believe that not everyone wants to hurt me , he never did .
