"Why do you make these paper flowers?" He asked, looking at her through the mirror.
"They don't wither like the real ones." She replied, aligning the entire bunch of paper flowers.
"But they don't have the fragranc...

"...but I was hurt that the one person I love didn't believe in me enough to come to me and tell me the truth."
Wait, what?
Love?
LOVE?
She is drunk! She even kissed you that time. She doesn't mean it.
Come on!
"You love me?"
I couldn't believe my ears, not when things weren't very kind to me from the very beginning.
"That's not a secret." She had this slightest scoff in her voice.
"You never said it."
Fuck! I...Damn! I hurt her too much.
It was not intentional, you know it!
"I always tried to show it. But you never understood it. You are not as difficult to love as you think, Asastyasa!" Her arms came around my neck.
I am not difficult? Seriously?
The stitches!!!!!
"But you have no idea how much it took me to fall in love! I am not Ishika. She at least believed in romance and love. I had convinced myself that I don't believe in it. I convinced myself that it's a concept for books and movies because I didn't want to let baba go. I didn't want him to feel he was left alone. He had lost everything very early in his life. So the tiny part of me that hoped for that fairy tale love, I buried it so deep that I forgot it ever existed. And then, you entered my life. I was able to tell you the secrets I never told myself." She tried to be closer to me, her lips near my jaw.
"Don't tell Ishika, but you're my best friend. She'll get upset." She put her head on my shoulder.
"Then you ruined everything. I understood that one simple lie is exceptionally able to shake the trust you have built. You don't have to worry about me being with other men, seriously. You have ruined love for me, there is no way I am going to trust anybody else now. And I don't sleep around for fun. I couldn't do it then, won't do it now." She sniffled. I could literally listen to my heart breaking down in millions of pieces as she finished talking.
What the fuck have I done?
Her breathing got even, and she fell asleep. Even though she was right here, with me, on me, I couldn't find it in me to just sleep. I was restless. I guess guilty as well.
I ruined a lot more than what I thought. I believed telling her this would be painful for her, but I never knew that...
'I always tried to show it.'
I thought it was just in the heat of the moment. Always.
