Extremely Slow love

Naina asked with tense eyes, "Say something."

Lalita put on sunglasses and said, "Let's bunk classes tomorrow and meet for coffee, alright? I'll let you know the place."

Naina said angrily, "Lalita, you're crazy. My life is in a mess, and you're worried about coffee."

Lalita smiled and said, " you can't handle what I want to say, then do what I say."

"Alright, but you have to confirm tomorrow for sure, or our friendship will be in danger."

"Threats? Were you a serial killer before?" 

Naina controlled her anger and said, "You are so irritating...damn it."

Naina noticed that Teena looked quite sad, and Teena seemed to be lost in thought when she looked at some random boy, not knowing what to do. Just then, Aahan came to talk to Naina about the lines.

"These lines are a bit..."

Aahan was thinking why Naina was looking at Teena, Teena? It seemed like she was looking at the same boy she loved, Jay, Lalita's ex-boyfriend and the college rockstar.

Aahan went to Teena, and Naina noticed him. She was about to ask Aahan something, but Aahan went and hugged Teena.

"What are you doing here, babe?" Teena was shocked.

 "What happened?" 

Aahan said loudly so Jay could hear. Jay turned around, always carrying his guitar, with lots of tattoos on his hands. Jay looked at Aahan.

Jay thought to himself, "I didn't know there were some cute boys here too. What an adorable couple they are."

Upon hearing this, Naina left in anger, and Lalita followed after her.

Jay said to Teena, "Hi, I'm Jay. I need a couple for something, can you both come? Just normal dancing, and I'll sing on stage."

Teena showed no interest and said, "I'm Teena. Nah."

Teena thought to herself, "Who is this cartoon? Is he a human or a tattoo shop?"

Aahan held Teena's hand and said, "Yes, we love too. Of course, we are a couple."

Teena, controlling her anger, pushed Aahan aside and said, "Come on, I have something important to do."

Aahan gave a dirty look, took Teena's hand, and moved aside.

Jay said, "Enjoy, guys."

Jay took a deep breath and thought, "It's so hot."

When Meera came from the office, in the evening, she asked Aahan, "What was that?"

"Aahan, not here, mom will overhear, let's talk somewhere else."

Aahan and Meera sat in the garden outside the building, looking at the orange-colored sky.

"It looks so beautiful, Naina used to say... sorry, go on."

"If you love her so much, why did you break up, duffer?"

(Aahan's eyes were moist, but he didn't shed a tear) "Because she loves someone else."

"Wait, what? Naina cheated?" Meera said in shock, as if she couldn't believe it.

"So, we'll never talk about this again, I'm not going to tell who it is."

"Are you sure? Did you see any video? Did someone lie to you?"

"No, nobody told me anything."

Aahan stood up and left, then Naina was coming towards the garden. Aahan saw Naina, but Naina looked away. Naina's eyes showed anger, and there were thousands of questions in them. Then Naina looked at Meera. Meera was wearing a black suit, as if she was coming from a business meeting.
