Maybe it's underrated

"Soulmates are not found Naina, they're made. We accept each others flaws and make the most perfect yet imperfect version out of it"

 

" Naina?!, You really think that I'm supposed to accept your nonsense philosophy ha?" 

"Such ironic name you have"

Naina replied

"Well, we should agree to the disagree, Arjun" " not everything is supposed to make sense no".

Naina are Arjun, the typical friends who could have been the best potential lovers of the campus. They had this little argument over "their idea of love"

Well everyone is entitled to their opinion but the heated banter was a result of Arjun's famous unconfessed crush over Naina.

He loved the girl, she knew. They both knew but nobody would say anything regarding that. Arjun was fed up but the friendship was keeping him together

"You never agree with me and that's ok" Naina uttered in a passive sense.

Arjun had this rubble inside his throat, he was feeling baggy and wanted to shut his emotions 

But he didn't

He brought the topic out of nowhere and continued

"Soulmates are not made, Naina. We don't find the perfect match lying around in the endless possibilities. We don't play with luck in this. We grow with our significant other and make our soulmates, we fight, disagree, laugh, cry and make the imperfect version of ourselves that we call soulmates"

"It's not like that Naina, it's not a simple word but not so complex either"

The shaky voice of Arjun gave Naina goosebumps, she was surprised. Not because Arjun spoke something he believed but because he was meaning it 

Word by word

Arjun burst with another monologue this time with a glare in his eyes from the lights beside him.

He teared up but was in control.

His voice was trembling but he collected the courage to speak out 

"Why don't you see me trying, Naina. It's like you almost ignore my efforts. 

Do you think love is overrated and everything else is shitty just because some guy treated you harshly??

This is your resilience??"

He gulped the dry voice and said further

"I don't know if you this see this or not but I love you Naina

Not because the earth said so, not because our time matches, not because I think what our future can be like

It's my reflex Naina, I see you and it's just there. I cannot explain to you the imagination I have but I just love this whole idea of me having you"

*Naina started tearing up, she knew but the intensity surprised her

*It's the same as being received with the only flower of your garden. She had it since the start but never acknowledged its beauty

Arjun burst with his final words

" I wanted to hide this, the scenario of me losing you scares me the most than me not having you"

You said it best Naina, you called it.

We should just agree to disagree

Arjun wiped his final tears and faded in the background.

Naina stood shocked with her cheeks red in sorrow.

Maybe it's because love is overrated or maybe sometimes it's just maybe. 

Oh to be young and feel the keen sting of love.
