"And then he walked away - completely ignoring my existence! Didn't bother greeting me even once the whole time." I huffed in exhaustion after ranting about the whole dawat incident to my best friend.
"Yaar, you are still expecting from him?! See, the only thing that men can do is hurt your feelings. I don't know whether they do it knowingly or unknowingly but how can they not think twice before carrying out their actions? I have rubbed off all hopes from them literally...after that... nevermind. It's just a waste of time digging up the past. But Maha you're such a smart girl, if you are to love someone then just love him with all your heart but expecting from them will only add salt to your wound. There's absolutely no difference between men and statues, they see you, they look at you and the next moment they have the same expression glued on their faces as if they haven't seen you at all." Tahira's voice speaks from the other side of the phone, her tone laced with a tinge of sorrow and anger.
While I agree with most of what she said, I also know all men are definitely not like that. But right now I'm clouded by my disappointment at how Isahaq hadn't bothered to even give me a single sign of acknowledgement that day.
He wasn't bound to greet me though. What was I to him after all? We were just two people who had met a few times due to our mother's being friends.
But the irrational and sensitive part of me refused to see reason.
I could tell Tahira was also suffering due to Ashar's actions. Seeing my friend like this breaks my heart but I know she's strong enough to overcome everything life throws at her.
I know Ashar is the only guy she has ever loved since she was young. But if he couldn't realize her feelings after so many years and kept hurting her again and again, I hope one day she can move on and find someone better.
" You're right. Every time I like someone I eventually end up getting hurt! Having crushes is so annoying. I was doing so well for the last few years , why did I suddenly end up falling for someone yet again? Ugh." I groan in annoyance and massage my throbbing forehead.
" Exactly, that's why I tell you this stuff isn't worth the time. First they talk all nice and sweet- and when you're trapped into their net of love, they discreetly cut the strings out of nowhere, making you fall into despair."
Oh boy- Tahira seems to be in quite a mood right now.
" Yeah. Besides, I forget about my crushes after a few months anyway. This will probably be the same." I contemplate out loud , pacing back and forth in my room.
" You're finally talking sense. Now go and do that assignment -"
I cut her off, " No, I'm still sad. I need to watch some kdramas or simp over anime characters to feel better! Fictional boys never betray."
