Prologue

Today, finally, after a lot of hesitation and encouragement from everyone, I've decided to share what's truly in my heart. So yes, today I'll finally tell him how I feel.

But how do I say it? Is it weird that someone wants to keep a person so close, who loves them more than anything?

I asked all my soul-sisters, and as soon as I brought it up, one of them playfully hit me and said, "Don't overthink, stupid! Just say what's in your heart-he's your childhood friend, he's not going to judge you."

When I asked how to confess, my female WhatsApp group literally exploded with excitement. Everyone said, "It's okay,". They kept excitedly sharing one idea after another about how I could express myself, but none of those words truly reflected what was in my heart. I just wanted that when I talked to him about my feelings, he would genuinely feel every word I said. That's why I didn't want to do anything extra - I just wanted to say the words that came straight from my heart. but those weren't my words. So I'm trying to express my feelings in my own way.

I have fallen in love but don't have the courage to tell him.when people get addicted to something and try to quit but can't they often end up doing irrational things.i am in the same situation now.but this addiction is to a person whom I think about day and night.

I can't keep everything inside me anymore. Today, I'm going to tell him how I truly feel. Whatever his reaction may be, at least I'll be clear with myself. But I've seen it in his eyes-maybe he loves me as much as I love him, he just can't say it because of timing and fear. But it's okay. Today, I will tell him. Not with anything extra-just with the feelings that come straight from my heart. I'll let him know what's been on my mind.

I don't know what love really is, but when I see you, I forget everything. Just thinking about you makes me smile, and I don't even need to try to blush-your words bring a natural blush to my face. It feels like a thousand butterflies are flying around, and I'm lost in a lush green forest.

Every little flirt of yours feels like a step closer to gathering the courage to tell you how I feel. I've fallen deeply in love with his, bro, but now I realize that within this love, I feel suffocated. I've never felt this way before-you are slowly melting my stone-like heart with your speaking skills. Even the protective shield I built around myself, promising never to depend on anyone, has been shattered because of you.

When I shared my feelings, they were all just stunned. My best friend mira came to me and said, "Since when did you fall in love so deeply? This isn't just a confession-every bit of your emotion is reflected in it."

Encouraged by them, I got fully ready-wearing a white and pink anarkali, with my hair down and a little curled at the front, and those peacock earrings he had bought me from the fair. I wore my favorite bangles too.

But the moment I reached the park, all my excitement vanished in an instant.

Not every story gets a perfect ending, but the memories they leave behind are always beautiful.
