Friendship!

The breeze ruffled her hair gently as she sat with her favorite cup of coffee admiring the rain through the window pane. The smell of soil, the new fresh greenery in the atmosphere, the light rain drops lovingly kissing the rose petals in the balcony and the wind which messed up her hair in the most attractive fashion, all had once again opened a gate in her heart which she had been trying to lock since the last two years.
A tear drop rolled down her left cheek unconsciously as she was smiling inhaling the freshness. She was once again going down the memory lane, to those days when she had once fallen in love.
Getting to a medical college after a year of dedicated hard work and contemplation in Kota was big for her. She now wanted to live her college life to the fullest. That's when she met him.. her batchmate and her first friend in college. He made all her little dreams come true. They had bunked countless classes, gone for long walks with unknown destinations, seen sunsets together with fingers entwined.. Walking down the road from friendship to love did not take long. It was her perfect love story. She was living a fairy tale.
The smile on her face faded away as she thought of what had followed.
Those fights, those misunderstandings and the distance that had cropped up between them was not less than a nightmare. Regular meetings turned into rare eye contacts. There were people who didn't want them together and had planned all this, most of which she could never understand. He chose to believe them and distrust her. Her innocent heart broke into pieces when all her efforts of figuring out what happened and attempts to mend it went in vain. She had spent sleepless nights and restless days trying to convince him to share what was going on, to confide in her and take her back.
Her silent tears had now turned into soft sobs as she realized she was still in the same place two years later while he had moved on with the same person who had caused these to happen.
Just then she felt warm comforting hands on her shoulder. "You look cute with pink nose and ears", said her best friend. She could not help but smile when she saw her favorite chocolate! Her anxiety reduced when he hugged her and said, "Your tears are precious".
You don't always need love in life. Sometimes friendship does the needful.
