12. Supernova

Supernova - a cosmic explosion of love.

-

Reaching the sandy shore, Anda kicked off her shoes. The cool sand felt like a welcome relief under her feet. 

She sighed, the weight of the night beginning to lift slightly.

"Let's walk along the water," she suggested and Atom nodded silently. 

They strolled along the shoreline. The sound of the ocean seemed to wash away some of Anda's stress, each step bringing a little more clarity. Atom stayed close to her, never leaving her side.

Finally reaching a quiet spot away from the noise of the event, Anda sat down on the sand, her back against a smooth rock.

Anda pulled her knees to her chest as she gazed out at the horizon. Atom settled beside her, their shoulders brushing lightly.

"I just... I needed to get away from all that. From her. From everything," Anda confessed, her heart heavy.

Feeling overwhelmed, Anda rested her head on Atom's shoulder, seeking comfort in her presence. 

Then, Atom wrapped an arm around Anda's shoulder, offering her silent support as they gazed out at the ocean.

"I thought she was the one," Anda continued, her voice trembling slightly. "But I was wrong. And now I don't know what to do."

Atom listened attentively, her heart aching for her friend's pain. Without a word, she pulled Anda closer, offering her silent support.

"I'm sorry, Anda," Atom said softly, placing a comforting hand on her shoulder. "It must be very difficult for you. You trusted her and she failed you."

Anda let out a shaky breath, the tension in her chest easing just a bit.

"It is a lot to me... I gave her everything, Atom. I trusted her completely. And now... now I feel like a fool."

"You're not a fool," Atom retorted, her voice firm yet gentle. "You loved her with all your heart. That's not something to be ashamed of. It's something to be proud of!"

Anda closed her eyes, savoring the warmth of Atom's words.

"But what do I do now? How do I move on from this?"

Atom took a moment to gather her thoughts, her eyes fixed on the horizon.

"You take it one day at a time, Anda. It's not going to be easy, but you have to believe that things will get better. And you have friends who care about you, who will be there for you every step of the way."

Anda looked up at Atom, her eyes shimmering with tears.

"I don't know what I'd do without you."

Atom smiled softly, brushing a tear from Anda's cheek.

"You'll never have to find out, because I'm not going anywhere."

They sat there in silence for a while, the only sounds being the gentle lapping of the waves and their synchronized breathing.

The tranquility of the beach plus Atom's warm embrace seemed to seep into Anda's soul, providing her with a sense of peace she hadn't felt in a long time.

Atom took her hand off Anda's shoulder and ran it through Anda's hair, running her fingers slowly through the soft strands of hair.

"Do you remember that time we built a sandcastle in Pattaya?" Atom suddenly asked, a faint smile playing on her lips as she remembered the summer trip they went together with their families. "We were so proud of it, and then the tide came in and washed it all away."
