"I don't know Naina. I really don't know" Jasmi said with a low and pained voice.
"Jasmi you've got to calm down okay" Naina comforted her. "Did you talked with Vince?" Naina asked with concern.
"No...I really don't know what to talk" Jasmi jerked up to her feet in frustration.
"Does Evan know?" Naina asked carefully just to be sure, while Jasmi shook her head in no affirmatively.
"That day...It was a mistake. Evan and some of his friends were having a graduation party and I joined them for some moment and in curiosity, I taste the wine for the first time and in the next morning I realized that I slept with.... " Her speech trailed for a brief moment like she was looking for the next word to say or maybe the words she was about to say next weighed a ton in her heart.
"We were so cool when we talk in afternoon" She heaves a long deep breath. Jasmi hesitated a bit before she spoke again. "He then confessed to me in that month and I rejected. He went abroad, came back and now his family and him proposed to marry him."
"Maybe he has feelings for you till now. I remember him chasing you wholeheartedly at that time". Naina told her, making Jasmi sigh exasperatedly.
"Umm...At that time my brain had gone awol. I was running away from him and he was chasing me". Worried expression was written all over her face.
"Jasmi, Do you have feelings for him?" Naina cocked her head to the side, curious.
Jasmi pondered for a while. "I don't have...that romantic feelings..." Jasmi stutters, crossed her arms in front of her chest. Then she let out a small sigh, "But I have a good feelings for him. You know! He is a good friend and good brother to me".
Hearing at her words, Naina bit her bottom lip to stifle her laughter.
"Why do you have that smug smile?" Jasmi turned her head to her best friend and narrowed her eyes at her.
"You sure have good feeling for him" Naina clarified, laughing out loud as she found her reaction cute.
"To be honest, I'm not so sure". Jasmi commented, Naina, sighing but nodding at the same time.

Naina and Jasmi spent a long time sharing their stories. Jasmi was totally grateful to Naina for keeping her company tonight and for really trying to cheer her up.
"Evan call you?" Jasmi asked with a bitter smile before falling back on the bed.
"Yes, He is supper worried for you" Naina also laid back on the bed and faced Jasmi and said in a envious voice, "Wish I had a older brother like him".
"But you had your cute younger brother". Jasmi said with her face up against the ceiling. "Right! How's Ronu? It's been a long time that I didn't saw him" Jasmi asked as she sat up on the bed.
"Well... He is all grown up. He has a girlfriend now" Naina chuckle as she also sat up.
"When her sister was spinster!" Jasmi said with a straight face before bursting into laughter.
"Do you want to die!!?" Naina said with dramatic voice making Jasmi laughed more.
"How was your date?" Jasmi asked with a smile tugging the corner of her lips.
"What date..?" Naina asked, blinking her eyes a few times especially with her remembering her last date.
"A lunch date with Ryu Shyam!"
"Did you.... "
Jasmi's mouth opened, about to say something but Naina hit her shoulder instead, further making her laugh.
"I told you it's not a date" Naina said in finality tone.
"Alright! Alright!" Jasmi shook her head as she stifled her laugh at Naina's retort.
