I was like stunned for a moment because whatever he said was directly telling me that “He was going to sacrifice me for his best friend". And in the heat of the moment, I said yes to X. Time passed, and my relationship with X got worse with time. It was after 1.5 years I broke up with X. And at that time things were still not good between me and KitKat. I rarely talked to him in these 1.5 years. We weren't the same as we were before. And my feelings for him were buried deep inside.
After 6 months of my breakup, I decided to move on, and I found a person with whom I fell for within days. And I am happy with him. I and KitKat were like friends. We rarely talk once in 6 months, and the meeting was like a challenge :D. Twice in 3 years. Yes, that was it. So we were back together as acquaintances.
I am not saying that we were back as old-school awkward friends, we were quite different from then. After my breakup from X, I was broken, and at that time he supported me a lot. He never denied supporting me in tough phases of life, and I also didn't. He had my back, and I had him, but we were “Having a conversation in months” kinda friends.
Last year when the covid happened, we all were stuck in our homes. We were leaving our own life behind, we were virtual. And that's where we started our journey again. Texting. And then made plans to meet. And it happened. We were back together as best friends. You know the time was tough, lockdown, family dramas, away from college, things didn't end so well. We both come from strict families. Strict and disciplined parents, so it was like a pressure on both of us that we used to share, and it felt so relieved. I was in a relationship for three years, so I have that person I can share my pain with. But KitKat was all alone, so I made one for him.
With time, he discovered strong feelings for me, and I discovered some weird attachment to him. Though it felt nice from the inside. He kept saying to me, if I ever get a chance in the future for us to be together, I promise I'll never leave your hand again. But I wasn't okay with that because he already did that once, and that didn't end so well for me. But for keeping his hopes alive, I made sure to keep that yes, we may get together in the future.
For the past 1 year, I talked to a person who wanted me so badly, and apart from denial, I held onto the same string he was holding despite knowing that I was already in a relationship with a person I love. But I just couldn't leave KitKat out of my mind. When we texted each other, I felt different kinds of happiness. When we met, he made me feel as if I was special. “It's just the connection I cannot explain”.
Things got messier for me when I realized that I felt something for him too. He walked into my life and he made a mark. He was just a friend that I genuinely spent time with. We had similar tastes, interests, and values. He was always there when I needed help, stuck by me through mental breakdowns, moments of weakness, and even heartbreak - from others and you.
Come back guys for the last chapter. Will release soon.
