Well, it's simple. Anika Trivedi decided to let things go by writing what had happened a year ago; at Career Camps.
Filled with various feelings, all negative, she tries to keep distracting herself by staying busy. But when lockdown happens, she fi...
As soon as my anger dissipated, I felt slightly guilty. I couldn't keep doing this to my friends. They are always there for me, and yet I feel all I do is let them down. Constantly. They were grieving too, but they didn't create fuss. Instead, they always were there for me. Again, self-hate consumed me. The air felt suffocated as no one spoke. Tension was too heavy for me to bear, so I decided to leave.
But before I could even turn around the corner, Akash gently said, "Wait. Don't go. I know you are grieving and you blame yourself. But you got to stop blaming us or pushing us aside. We are trying as much as we can, but you have to let us in too." I nodded, tears brimming in my eyes. They were right. I didn't deserve such good friends. I softly murmured a small sorry. That sorry reduced the tension that filled air.
After a few seconds of less awkward silence, Adeela cleared her throat loudly. My emotions were much better, and the ringing in my ears had stopped. She began, "So, I was saying that San--she couldn't have written this letter. Because, firstly, she hates philosophy books. And secondly she doesn't forgive someone easily. There is no way she would forgive Anika for leaving her in a lurch so easily--"
I couldn't hear the rest of her words. As soon as she realized her mistake, she looked at me. Horror dawned on her face, and she quickly blurted, "I am so sorry. I didn't mean it that way. It was just I wanted to say that she holds grudges. I am so sorry." She kept repeating it over and over again.
But the trigger had been pulled off. Whatever hope was left, also left me. I panicked to keep my emotions under control, but I couldn't. Before I could even tell her it's okay, the world started spinning and black spots danced in front of my vision. I fainted.
