With You all Pains Turns into Nothing

At Weekend…

The empty boxes of pizza and other fast food and bottles of drinks were scattered on the table and Nisha can be seen sitting on one of the chairs around the dining table holding her head with both of her hands.

Ansha was sitting beside her with her hand on Nisha's back, trying to comfort her and let her digest the news, with a face full of unexpected grievance mix with confusion and expected reaction of Nisha.

"Nisha! 10 minutes are already passed. When are you going to lift up your head?

Just say something."

"SOMETHING!"

Nisha replied, never lifting her head up for even once.

"Are you serious?"

"So, what did you want me to say?" She was sulking but this time she lifts up her head."

"Scold me please." Ansha said to her with her eyes facing south.

"By which right?"

"Only you have this right."

"Then you should have come at once to me. On the very moment you saw him.

I just think you never consider me a friend."

"SMASHHH!!"

Anyone does not know when but when Nisha just finished her sentence, she was hit by an empty pizza box.

"OUCH!" Yes, this was Nisha's cry.

"Have you turn an insane after seeing him after years?"

"Stop your nonsense. I just did that because your melodrama was already too much for me."

"You still love him." Nisha said while pressing her head.

"I think we already discussed that.

I only hate him."

"You can't hide truth from me." She said with a teasing smile.

"Stop this irritating smile of yours, otherwise, now I'll smash your head with a can."

"Then you'll lose a friend who is loyal, caring, understanding, loving, funny, pretty, clever…"

Nisha only stops her list when she sees Ansha is picking up a can.

Then they both burst into laughter.

After a good needed laugh, they were all good again.

"So, uhm, I mean"

"Just say it, Nisha."

"I just think, you should talk to him. Just clear it all out, let your heart be free from all the pain."

"That's not even an option for me. You know."

"Just do this for once."

"No!" she immediately said that.

"OK as you wish. You know, I'll support you in your every decision."

"I know." She smiled.

"And…

About Basel. Are you sure about him? I think you are just taking this decision in a hurry. You just want to get Ahmer out of your heart. That's why you are deciding to give him a chance.

Please Ansha! Don't do this.

I want to see you happy. And this will not make you happy.

You're just pressurizing yourself.

And I'll not let you do this."

"I take this decision after thinking it thorough. I think he is best for me."

Ansha tried to protest.

"I just want you to take more time and think about this again but with a clear mind.

Promise me this?"

"Promise!" She assured her and added.

"You know? I'm blessed to have you in my life. You're always like a guiding star to me."

"Stop buttering me and orders another pizza for me."

"As you say my master." Ansha said while bowing to her and they again erupt into another round of laughter.

Past…

"Hey! Today we have enough time, so, let's go to Arts institute canteen. I'm bored with ours."

One of Ansha's group friend suggested and all agreed.

"Ansha also call Rabeel. She does not even spend time with anymore."

Another one asked Ansha.

"She again went to meet her friend in Business institute. Just leave her. Let's go."

At Arts Canteen…

That canteen was already packed but they find a table to sit together. Just when all were seated, Ansha spotted someone there. But before she can contemplate it, her other friends also spotted Rabeel.

"Is that Rabeel there?!"

All of them looked at her pointed direction.

She was already in this canteen but what was more shocking to them is that she was sitting with a boy in a romantic way. They were holding hands and Rabeel was feeding him fries.

They all were shocked as Rabeel told them that she is always meeting a female friend of whom they all know.

"Who is this boy?" Someone asked.

"Ansha did you know about this?"

Ansha just move her head as a no.

"I think, just ignore them and orders our food. We can ask Rabeel later, but we cannot eat later."

They all agreed.

After sometime, Rabeel and the boy get up to leave. At that time when she was about to move past them, she noticed all of them. With Ansha, she also had an eye contact.

Ansha then ignored her and focused on her food.

Rabeel was shocked to see them but she quickly makes her way out of the canteen with that boy.

Next day…

In morning when Ansha was going to enter into department, Nisha's voice reached her.

"Hey Ansha! How are you? We are meeting after days."

First time in a while she genuinely meets her and finds no annoyance in her.

"Yes! We all are packed with our schedules."

"Yeah right!

So, see you soon.

"Sure. Bye!"

As soon as Nisha leaves, in her vision came Rabeel.

She is avoiding her from yesterday after that canteen incident.

She was about to go but Rabeel holds her hand.

"Just listen to me please once. I was about to tell you all about it soon."

"You call me best friend and not even trust on this matter. I think that you will first tell me when you will finally find your soulmate but you just consider me an outsider.

I don't want to talk to you." She said trying to free her hand from her hold.

"You just go with that boy."

"I want you to meet him."

"I won't."

"I want to tell you all about this matter. Just come with me." She pulls her towards the canteen.

"I said I don't want to." This time Ansha freed her hand from her grasp.

They both look at each other with grievance.

"We will talk later. Just give me some space and time for now." Ansha said that and enters into the department.
