Conversations Between two bestie
The house had grown quiet after Abhimanyu and Siddharth left.
Afternoon sunlight spilled across the living room.
Naina and Sanjana both sat by the window, viewing the view and sipping their drinks....
Sanjana watched her for a long moment.
Then smiled.
“You’re thinking about bhai and the media headlines.”
Naina looked up at once.
“I am not.”
Sanjana laughed.
“You deny too quickly.”
She moved closer and curled beside her on the chair...
Sanjana spoke softly.
“Can I ask you something honestly?”
Naina quipped, "Do you really think, you need permission to ask me anything Sanju"!
She raised her brow mischievously...
“Hmm.”
“Are you still angry with him…”
The question landed too directly.
Naina’s looked at her bestie concerned look..
Sanjana put her arm around her shoulder and hugged her quietly...she understood she had touched the wound.
After a long silence, Naina finally said...
“It isn’t simple.”
“It never is,” Sanjana replied.
Naina looked away.
“We all think love fixes everything.”
“But some things…” her voice thinned,
“…break trust.”
Sanjana didn’t interrupt.
She let Naina speak.
“He hurt me.
“And when trust cracks…”
She shook her head.
“…you don’t know if stepping back means safety or surrender.”
Sanjana reached for her hand.
“But you still love him.”
Naina gave her a soft smile
"Of course, I do"!
Sanjana smiled sadly.
“I knew it.”
Naina looked at her and whispered
“Love was never the problem.”
The words surprised even her.
Sanjana squeezed her hand.
“Then what is?”
Naina took a breath.
“What if I go back…”
“…and he hurts me the same way again?”
That was the real fear.
Not anger.Fear.
Sanjana leaned closer.
“Then what about all the media headlines, will it effect your and bhai relationship in anyway "! Sanjana interrogated
Naina gave Sanjana a calm, reassuring smile and gently held her hand.
