Heartstrings and Forever Bonds

Silent Bonds

Nikolai's perspective:

Time feels like it's passing in the blink of an eye. It seems like just yesterday my exam results were out, and now I've been promoted to class 8. Three months have already slipped away... broh! Time really flies...

When I'm not around her, it feels like my love for her faded away ages ago. She ignored me, distanced herself from me, so why should I still love her? It seems like my love for her is gone. However, when she's near me, when she touches my hand, hugs me, smiles into my eyes, or acts all clumsy, all those rational thoughts vanish. I find myself falling for her again, and all I want to do is hold her tightly and say, "Oh Bellissma!! I want to embrace you tightly because when I hug you, it feels like I'm in a dream. I fear if I wake up, you'll be gone."

I don't know why, but when I hug her, I sense that she might love me too. And even if she doesn't, I'm willing to accept it. If she does, we might just have to keep our love a secret and leave it at that.
I Don't know why but that what mind say me that she won't be mine never ever or I won't be hers.

Our school organized a picnic to Parco delle Cave in Milan on March 2nd, and our group of friends eagerly booked tickets for the trip. The anticipation was high among us all. However, over the past few months, I couldn't help but notice Natalia and Max behaving oddly. They used to be inseparable, always sitting together, engaged in deep conversations, and sharing every aspect of their lives. But now, their interactions have become strained. We, as a close-knit group, always talked openly with one another, but it's as if they're forcing themselves to communicate. There's an undeniable tension between them, and I'm certain something is amiss in their relationship.

I anticipated a fantastic trip with my friends after years of waiting, but it turned out to be the worst ever. Initially, things seemed fine as we reached the destination on our school bus, bought tickets, and entered. However, Natalia and Anastasia got separated from us, spending the entire day with their mothers. I hoped they'd join us later, but instead, they spent the day together, both crying.

The crying aspect infuriated me. Seriously? Natalia, whom I care about deeply, cried the entire day, and I couldn't be there for her. However, I was torn because both Anastasia and Max are my friends. Max specifically asked me, "Please stay by my side today. Don't go anywhere else. I'm feeling off."

I attempted to inquire about her state, wondering why she seemed so despondent. However, it appeared she preferred solitude, particularly without Anastasia. Consequently, I refrained from disturbing her. Nonetheless, on our way back, I briefly sat beside her. We engaged in a conversation, and I sensed a positive shift in her mood. Her radiant smile, after a prolonged day, was a testament to the impact of our brief exchange.
