What is the different between Friends and Romance?

 Friends and Romance

Nahid, Bristy, and Nupur have been inseparable friends since high school, each bringing unique bond characteristics. Nahid was steadfast, reliable, and always supportive. Bristy was a vivacious, free-spirited girl who attracted people to her. Nupur is the embodiment of kindness, compassion, and truthfulness, which makes her beautiful, and truly unforgettable. Quieter and more introspective, they both had a way of understanding deeply.

Friends and Romance

As they grow older, the dynamic between them changes. The belief in simplicity and relaxed friendship they grew up with becomes more complicated over time as hidden feelings and aspirations emerge.

As the saying goes, ghee and fire should never be kept together. Things started happening during their college years-

One summer evening, the three of them gathered on Bishti's roof, where they often chatted. The sun dipped to the west casting a warm, orange glow, and the air filled with the scent of jasmine. They sit together and reminisce about old times, share their hopes for the future, and laugh at trivia. But later that evening something changed between them, which was not supposed to happen between them. As if they had eaten a forbidden fruit.

Friends and Romance

Bristy, leaning towards Nahid, suddenly revealed to her the shyness she had hidden in her heart for a long time. Their playful banter turns into a kiss - tentative at first, but then more passionate, as if feelings that have been hidden for years are slowly blooming like flower petals. Nupur watched, confused, and moved aside as if to give them a chance, but felt a pang in her heart, but she couldn't tell if it was jealousy or something else.

After that day, Bristy and Nahid become close, and their relationship turns into a whirlwind romance. They share their secret passions and their plans and dreams for being together in the future. But they never separated Nupur from their chat. She was always there, joining them for coffee, study sessions, and weekend trips. They have always been a trio, but time does not stand still, Nupur gradually feels like an outsider.

Months passed, and the tension between Nupur and Nahid grew which Bishti did not know. But neither of them can understand what shyness is. Then Nupur could not do it for Bishti, which is already hidden in her mind for Nahid, or did not do it because she thought that the bond of friendship would be lost. But she kept her feelings a secret, not wanting to betray Bristy. But one rainy night, when Bristy was visiting the family, Nupur and Nahid found themselves alone in the old cafe they frequented.

Suddenly the awkwardness between them is gone, they can't tell if it's because Bishti isn't present but they're at ease again. Among themselves, they discuss life, the past, and the strange changes in their friendship. The rain gets heavier, and lightning strikes Nupur like a fairy who has suddenly appeared. Their own little world is turned upside down. Before anyone else could think, Nahid reached out, and Nupur responded as if she had already been prepared, their lips meeting in a kiss that was equal parts longing and guilt. They spend the night together, tangled in the sheets, and their behavior will change everything. Their association seems as if they have been planning it for ages.

The next morning, Nahid regretfully could not forgive himself. But what has to happen has happened, and now there is nothing to do. Bishti came back and did not see Nahid anywhere for some time. Nahid doesn't know why, but seeing Bishti, she feels guilty. He confesses his guilt and innocence to Bishti. Bishti's heart breaks. His world is plunged into darkness. He has come out to another planet as if this world is not the one he has always known. He feels completely alone and helpless.

She feels betrayed by the two people she trusted the most and is deeply hurt. Later, the three friends drift apart, each dealing with their feelings in private. There is no contact with anyone. This is a solo game.

Years passed. After graduation, Bristy moves away to pursue a career in a distant city, forgetting everything and devoting himself to work to bury his pain.

The artist Nupur, wracked with guilt and drowning, seeks to survive by taking refuge in Nupur's art, finding solace in painting the landscape of their hometown.

Nahid remains, but he is a shadow of his former self, bearing the burden of what he has done. He can't concentrate on anything anymore.

Despite the silence, neither of them really made any advances towards anyone. They are mutual friends and have never shown any interest in anyone other than keeping tabs on each other from afar on social media.

Their lives moved on, but there was always a sense of unfulfilled desire, a longing for what was lost.

One spring day, a mutual friend invites them to a wedding in their hometown. Reluctantly, they agreed, feeling the reunion would be full of unresolved emotions. The wedding was held in a beautiful countryside, surrounded by flowers.

It was there that Bristy, Nahid, and Nupur first saw each other after many years. They awkwardly shared smiles as if not smiling would look socially awkward and exchanged polite words. But there was an air of unspoken words between them killing the gap they were feeling.

That night, after the feast, they gathered around a bonfire, much as they had gathered on Bristy's roof. The memory began to repeat itself like the dead leaves of a tree sprouting new leaves. As the fire burns, they begin to talk - really talk - about the past, their mistakes and the friendly love that once connected them. Bristy finally let out the pain she was in with sobs like torrential rain, her tears mingling with the warmth of the fire. Nahid apologized again, his voice softening with emotion, hoping to regain his former friendship. His pressing pain hurt everyone. Everyone understood his broken heart. And Nupur also admits that she lost herself after everything fell apart.

At that moment, they realized that their love for each other hadn't really faded; It just changed form. Bristi, finding a sense of peace, forgives them. Nahid and Nupur finally allow themselves to admit their feelings for each other without guilt.

Still, the reunion wasn't about rekindling an old flame but about figuring out how each of them could find their own happiness. Bishti sees Nahid and Nupur's bond and wishes them well. He tries to dream new dreams by floating the current of sorrow in the sea of ​​happiness. Nahid and Nupur, recalling their past smooties, now openly and honestly decide to materialize the long-hidden feelings in their hearts.

They remain close to Bristy, albeit in a new way.

The three of them form a friendship again, respecting and honoring each other's wishes and the love that once entwined their lives.

As they watched the sunrise together that last morning, there was a sense that they had finally found what they had been searching for all those years — peace, forgiveness and a love that had changed but never truly disappeared.

After the wedding, the lives of the three of them became intertwined once again, but it was not easy. A thin cloth of pain was wrapped around the heart. Reunions, promises made, betrayals and heartbreaks couldn't erase the scars that were etched inside their minds. Although Bristy has forgiven Nahid and Nupur, everything falls apart at times as she finds herself overwhelmed by the memories of those summer evenings and the dreams and plans she had with Nahid. He would look at them together and not have a searing pain in his chest, not reminding him of the time when he had been a part of that warmth. How does that happen? Is love so easy to forget?

But this time, instead of running away from her past, betrayal, and heartbreaking pain, Bristy faces her feelings. She pours her emotions, the unspoken words of her heart that she couldn't tell anyone, into poetry, turning her pain into words that she shares with a small online community. Along with becoming a fan or follower of her poetry, she began to heal through the connections she made by exchanging information with others who had experienced the same heartache as her. Many benefited from listening to his various instructive examples and did not forget to thank him. It is like sharing your pain and suffering with each other. In addition to peace of mind, you can quickly bring yourself back to reality.

Nupur also struggles with her own guilt.

Even when she and Nahid did not hesitate to show their love in front of everyone, she often asked herself if she really deserved this happiness. Is she the only one entitled to this love? No, someone else's love she took away? In moments of doubt, she retreats to her art studio, drawing memories of their past – the way the sunlight plays on Bristi's face, or the sweet beauty of Bishti as they hang out on the rooftop, content to see it wash over her canvas. Nahid tried to reassure himself, but his image stood as a rival for battle. The injury he inflicted on both Bristi and Nupur. Breaking the bonds of friendship and dividing himself between two people, be it willingly or unwillingly, would have happened. This situation does not happen today if he doesn't get in touch with Bishti first. He could have restrained himself!

A sudden opportunity arises during a weekend trip that they all take part in together - an attempt to revive their old tradition of exploring the countryside. They travel to a remote lakeside cabin, where they get to be alone with their thoughts and each other.

The landscape was beautiful, the pine trees swaying gently in the breeze and the lake sparkling like a mirror under the autumn sun. It is an environment created only to understand oneself. Floating gently on the lap of the cloud and whispering to yourself.

The first night, they sat by the fire outside the cabin, wrapped in blankets, their faces burning in the flickering flames. Bristy, speaking with her voice steady—talked about how much she hated both of them after finding out about Naheed and Nupur's relationship, and how long it took her to calm down that anger. Nupur, with tears in her eyes, admits that she often thinks that if she didn't have a soft spot for Nahid or if she had been honest about her relationship with Bishti, their friendship would have survived.

Sensing the importance of their words, Nahid listened attentively in silence. He knew there was nothing he could say that would change their past, but he promised them both that he would never be indifferent to their hearts again. Don't do anything to ruin their friendship. He stepped forward, took both of their hands in his, and for the first time in years, they felt the strength of the bond they once shared, one that would last a lifetime.

Bristy leaned back and looked at the stars. No matter how deep the sky is, the stars still have their presence. She could feel that she no longer felt like an outsider watching a love story unfold without him. She realizes that her negative attitude towards Nahid and Nupur has changed, becoming more resilient and self-aware towards them. For the first time in years, a deep calm settled over her.

In the months that followed, the three of them began living their lives anew. Nupur and Nahid moved into a small apartment together, which was filled with their artwork and collected books. Their relationship, with the insecurities and doubts they faced while still bound by memories of past mistakes, has deepened.

They learn to find joy in small moments like cooking breakfast on a Sunday morning, reading by the window on a rainy afternoon exploring new corners of the city hand in hand, looking at the stars in the night sky and discussing their future relationship, etc.

Gradually, their love transcends the boundaries of friendship and begins to feel like a secret they have to hide.

Meanwhile, Bristi reinvented himself for new poems. Surrenders himself within the lines of poetry. She joins a local poetry group, where she meets someone who admires her for everything she does. His name is Ian—a gentle, thoughtful man who admires her emotional strength and creativity. Their relationship begins slowly. In fact, Bishti takes time. Little by little she was sharing the parts of her heart with Aayan that she once reserved for Nahid, she told herself.

Although Bishti's bond with Ayaan was getting deeper and deeper, her bond with Nahid and Nupar did not wane at all. Ayaan's heart was whispering to Bishti's heart, creating a new path for them to walk. The path will never end. The three friends would often meet up for dinner or hike in the mountains on weekends, never realizing that a new chapter in their relationship had begun, no one could tell that something sinister had happened between them a few days ago. They would laugh and reminisce about their old times, discussing among themselves any incident that had happened in their lives. As before, there was no anger, outrage or distress between them. As if nothing had happened.

On a cold winter evening, when the city streets are dusted with snow, Nahid surprises Nupur with a proposal. As they walked through a park they frequented, where the trees were decorated with twinkling lights like stars. Nahid gets down on one knee and holds out a ring to Nupur and promises how deeply he will spend every moment with her till his last breath.

Naheed also says "Nupur, you are the light that guided me in my darkest hour, and even though I don't deserve your love, I promise to cherish it for the rest of my life. Will you marry me?"

Nupur's eyes filled with tears, but these tears were tears of joy. “Yes,” she said, her voice a little deeper than a whisper, and they embraced each other deeply in the snow.

They give their good news to Bishti first. He embraces both of them with his wide and genuine smile and promises to help Nupur in every way including marriage planning. Ayaan stands by Bishti's side, supporting her in welcoming this new chapter in her friends' lives.

The wedding was held in a small and intimate setting. It was held in the same lakeside cabin where they spent time with each other in a pleasant atmosphere. Bristy and Ayaan stood next to Nupur and Nahid as they exchanged vows, the sun setting over the lake in a golden and pink glow, creating a unique sight. Crying and laughing, making promises and sharing memories, it was like winning a battle and regaining the kingdom with the princess. Bristie read a poem she had written for the occasion, revealing moments that captured the tangled threads of love and friendship that had brought them together over the years.

While Nupur and Naheed were enjoying their first dance as a married couple, Bristy gave Ayan's hand a gentle tap on her shoulder and a

Gives a smile. She realizes that she has found a new kind of love - one that embraces both her past and her future.

The three friends remain close, building a new life where they can respectfully convey their history to future generations. Bristy and Ian also eventually marry. The four of them would often gather at the lakeside cabin to reminisce and make new memories.

Years later, they are seen standing together on the same roof where they were seen in their school days. Now linked by the old but still invisible thread that has always bound them. The lights of the city twinkle below and they lift their glasses from their eyes as if to toast a love that has grown and transformed over time.

Nupur leans into Nahid, feeling the warmth of his arms around her. Bristy lays her head on Ian's shoulder and whispers peace into his heart. As they laugh under the dark night sky, they know they have found something rare and precious - a love that has weathered storms, endured separation, and, ultimately, led them to a place of lasting friendship and understanding.
