Scene:1

Authors pov:

She hurried through the bustling airport, her heart pounding with anticipation. Today was the day she would finally confess her feelings to her best friend, the one she had loved since childhood.

But as she rounded the corner, she saw him standing there, her eyes brightened with happiness and smiling widely seeing him but soon the smile vanished from her lips because he was not alone .....but with another girl, a look of love in his eyes before she could understand anything he kissed her on her lips......

Her heart sank, the words of her confession dying on her lips. Tears welled up in her eyes as she watched her dreams crumble, standing there in the midst of a love she could never have and totally heartbroken.....

The world around her seemed to fade away, and she felt numb, standing in the same spot with a broken heart, tears streaming down her cheeks. She couldn't comprehend what to do next. Seeing the one she loved with another girl shattered her. At that moment, she decided she would never confess her feelings, choosing instead to hide her love deep inside her heart.

Her heart shattered as she watched them together, her eyes burning with unshed tears. The sight of him laughing, so effortlessly happy with her—his girlfriend—was more than she could handle. A wave of heartbreak swept over her, the pain so sharp it almost stole her breath. She tried to hold back the tears, but they slipped down her cheeks despite her efforts to stay composed.

It was as if the world around her had frozen. The air felt thick, and her legs felt like lead. She turned to walk away, to escape the moment, but before she could even take a step, his voice cut through the stillness.

“Priyu” he called, his voice sounding both familiar and strange, filled with surprise and warmth.

She froze, her heart racing. She hadn’t expected him to see her, to know she was there. Slowly, she turned around, wiping the tears from her cheeks before he could see and with a forces smile she turned around. But he had already spotted her, and the moment their eyes met, something shifted.

His face softened, and his smile faltered. The carefree joy he had shared with his girlfriend vanished in an instant, replaced by concern. “What’s wrong?” he asked, stepping closer to her.

She opened her mouth to respond, but no words came out. The lump in her throat was too big, and her heart too heavy. She could feel her walls crumbling, the overwhelming emotions flooding her all at once. Seeing him with someone else had been too much to bear. But she couldn’t let him see how broken she was.

“I… I was just leaving,” she said quietly, trying to pull herself together. "I came here to pick u up but I didn't want to interrupt."

He took another step forward, his brow furrowed in confusion. “Interrupt? You could never interrupt.” He looked at her, searching her face as if trying to understand what was happening.

Before she could stop herself, the words came spilling out. "I saw you with her... your girlfriend. I didn’t want to make things awkward."

His expression shifted, as if he hadn’t fully realized the weight of the situation. He glanced back at his girlfriend, who had now noticed the exchange between them with not so good expression on seeing them together, he quickly turned his attention back to her.

“I didn’t want you to feel like this,” he said, his voice quieter now, more serious. “She’s... she’s important to me... I love her but so are you. Always have been.....My bestfriend"

"So... you’re with someone now, huh?" She asked, trying to mask the tightness in her voice.

He hesitated, the truth of his situation settling between them. "Yeah. I am. It’s... complicated."

Her heart sank, but she smiled, even though the pain of those words hit harder than she’d expected. They were best friends. They had been through everything together. But now? What would happen next?
