Why can't you both just give eachother a chance?

Atleast ek chance toh do.

"Stop it!" I murmured, with my eyes closed, trying to curb my overthinking brain and sleep for the Nth time.

Chance.

Chance.

Chance.

"Ughh!" I huffed, opening my eyes and sitting up on my bed. A wave of agitation swarming my mind.

"Why can't Daadi's words get out of my mind?" I exclaimed, in frustration, cradling my face in my hands.

Tonight is probably one of the worst nights of my life. Neither am I able to sleep, nor am I able to calm my perturbed mind. Daadi's words have been resonating in my mind ever since we had that conversation, and I've been losing my mind thenceforth.

Chance.

She wants us to give our relationship a chance, a relationship that was forced upon us, a relationship whose pious connotation holds no meaning to us. The reason behind staying married to Naina was to keep her safe from her manipulative father and betraying ex, and now, that reason is no longer relevant.

Why can't you both just give eachother a chance?

Daadi's words reverberated in my mind one more time, stirring a wave of confusion once again.

The 'chance' that Daadi has mentioned multiple times, holds the capability of not only changing our lives forever, but also our friendship. A friendship that I cherish more than my life, a friendship that if ever gets tainted, would break my heart into a million pieces.

Both of you have adapted to this concept, just to avoid creating any sort of drama in your friendship.

"Ughh! Not again!" I exclaimed, massaging my temple.

Daadi's words have literally messed up my head. Every thought that comes into my mind, ends up getting defaced by her words. It's like she had a counter for all my thoughts in that conversation, and now, all my ifs and buts are being counteracted by her.

I heaved a deep sigh and shifted backwards on my bed, leaning my head on to the backrest.

"Why is everything so complicated in our lives, Naina?" I asked, closing my eyes.

From a third person's point of view, I understand what Daadi meant and can also understand why she said it, but the vulnerability of the suggestion makes it extremely complicated.

I don't believe in giving up on relationships either. I hate the idea of walking away, and that's probably the reason why I entertained Misha's deception for months. But this time, things are different. The trepidation of messing our bond is enwreathing my heart. I'm so terrified of the negative possibilities this 'chance' chaperones that I don't really have the guts to persevere this relationship.
