As madhav was sitting in the bike as usual while waiting for his friends to go to college together, he saw the person he missed the most in the last week walk past him (but he wouldn't accept that, he hate her mind you 😤)

"Oh, here comes the loser who doesn't have the power to back herself up now, where did you disappear after my words last week Madame ?" madhav asked sarcastically.

"You were actually true all along, I am a loser after all It just took my stupid brain long time before I realised it" Lily said in a low voice as she walked past him leaving him speechless,

It didn't make sense at all, Madhav was left staring blankly at her as she went out of sight as he was still trying to process what just happened.

Even though the words may seem mean, he know he never meant anything he said, even though he always say he hates her- somewhere deep down, he knows he actually enjoys bickering with her

It was their kinda langauge, bickering with each other in the worst ways possible which may seem like they are enemies to a stranger looking at them but they both know it's not the case even if they don't accept it.

After the sudden phonecall in the middle of bickering last week, this is the first time madhav met her - but it's not like he was pretending to wait for his friends but truly wanted to see what happened, no it's surely not the case.

He was truly waiting for his friends.

He would have never in the wildest dreams expected her to talk about herself like that -- he wondered where her usually sassy, savage self went

He felt himself sad and stressed even though he still doesn't understand why her change impacted him so much

He wanted to figure out what happened, yes he may hate her, but that doesn't mean you can't worry about your enemy right

He was still thinking about what might have happened as he went to his classroom.

In the afternoon, as he was going to centeen during lunch, he heard a muffled cry from a classroom but what surprised and shocked him at the same time was - the voice felt awfully familiar

He hoped it isn't what he is thinking it is

As he slowly opened the door from where he heard the cry, his heart dropped but at the same time there was immense fury to bury anyone who might have made her like this

There was the person who used to sass him, laugh like a maniac crying while hugging herself by the knees

He stood there uncerainly of whether she would feel comfortable enough for him to come hear - the last thing he would want for her is to panic or feel uncomfortable He slowly went near her and sat down - leaving a good distance but still within arm's reach.

"Do you want to talk about it...?"

She didn't even notice him until then, as she slowly looked up embarrassed of how puffy her eyes looks and how misheveled she looked - but more than that, she was shocked as he was the last person she would expect to be there let alone ask that question.

He suddenly wondered whether it was a wrong move to be there, whether it made her feel more uneasy

But it felt as if she was visibly more relieved he was there

She shaked her head indicating a no while he slowly opened his arms like inviting for a hug

She seemed reluctant but once she did lean into the hug she started trembling in his hold while she cried her eyes out

He sat there for 20 minutes straight holding her and caressing her hair to comfort her

He didn't know what caused this much pain to her, but he did know for sure they are gonna regret it real soon

To anyone looking at them, they must look like a couple regardless of being called enemies less than a day ago - but there was nothing sexual or even romantic about the act

But there was pure love, he finally realised maybe bickering was their love language

People may mistake it for romantic love, but he knew better- he know how romantic love feels like and he do know this isn't romantic love

They have many things to discuss about after this, but for now he know one thing for sure - he has a bestfriend to protect from this world

"ssh, I am here for you, It's okay" 💜
