"Hurting someone when you're injured doesn't reduce your pain ."

" He is really into you ." Lara, Kabir's old colleague said as soon as I stepped in.

" Stop joking lara, I'm tired. " I whined.

" I'm serious. " She said again focusing on her laptop.

" Oh yes and you'll now say that consider him, right? " I said scoffing and throwing my bag on the sofa which was besider her.

" Definitely, no. " She chuckled.

" Then why do you bring this on every time? " I asked her annoyingly.

" You need to get explained all the time. " She said as she kept her laptop aside and asked me to sit beside her.

" Listen, Kabir likes you. And that's visible. But what matters is who you like. So better clear what you feel, don't let him have unnecessary hopes. It's good for you as well as him. " She explained me but still it increased the complications.

" Elaborate. " I said as she took a deep breath.

" Do you feel anything for him ? Do you feel like you need him in your life ? Do you feel like you look at him in more than friends way ? " She asked me few questions.

And as I knew all answers had negative answers.
" Every question has same answer and that is no. I've seen him as a friend and not more than that and I would never ever think of him like that. " I cleared what I felt.

" And one more thing to be explained .  He doesn't feel like that. We are JUST friends. " I stood up and dashed in my bedroom.

" Oh well , I'm hundred percent sure that you are gonna have hard time ahead. " She yelled from behind.

" Why does she think like that? " I questioned myself who gives her chance to explain this everytime  .

" You are not listening to me! " Amma raised her voice.

" A-Amma.... I am..... I can't. " I looked down .
" You're being more dumb than she is." She raised her voice more.

" Please, calm down. Y-you're Already a patient of blood pressure. Listen to me this one time. " I sat down near her.

Her figure was settled on sofa. And I was sitting on the floor near her. It was very late that I wondered why she wasn't sleeping and thinking about this matter.

" Why don't you listen to me? Find her, explain everything to her and keep her here. " Her soft voice eventually raised up some tears in my eyes.

" I-I can't. I don't deserve her neither She does want to be with me. It would be again that forced rights of me on her . " I shamefully looked down revising the deeds I did.

" That time was different. She has everyone who was unknown to your efforts and was trying to help her. This time you can explain it to her. We both will try. We can take your mother for your help . " She tried to console me while herher hand caressed my hairs.

" I understand all your efforts for your daughter but it's clear that she doesn't want me and she's with the person whom she wants. " I said as I got up and decided to turn off this subject.

" And what if she's forced there too ? " Amma asked me while stopping me.

" She's not ....... For sure. " My tears were indicating agony.
I quickly went in my room and locked it.
