Naina gently touched Boddo's arm, snapping her out of her deep thoughts. Boddo blinked and looked up, her eyes filled with sadness and confusion.
"Oh, Naina. You're here? Sorry, I didn't even notice when you got here," Boddo said, her voice filled with melancholy.
Naina nodded understandingly. "It's okay, Boddo. I could tell something was bothering you. What happened? Is it because of the argument Kamal had with my brother, yesterday?." "It's not just the argument," Boddo admitted. "Kamal has been acting differently around me lately, and what he did yesterday when he saw me standing with Khalid, is difficult to understand. And he accused me of betraying him and stormed off in anger. You saw what he did, yesterday."
Naina listened attentively, her expression a mix of concern and understanding. Naina also wished that Boddo has noticed her brother attention but deep inside her she believes there still time, the game has just started. She reached out and held Boddo's hand, offering support. 
"Boddo, I know this is hard for you to accept, but sometimes love can arise unexpectedly, even between close family members. Kamal's behavior towards you lately, his protectiveness and the way he's been looking out for you, it might be because he has developed romantic feelings for you."
Boddo looked at Naina, her eyes wide with disbelief. Her heart is beating very fast, closing her both eyes quickly she took her hands from Naina. It took her some sec to finally compose herself.  "Naina, that can't be true. Kamal has always been like a brother to me. I can't imagine him being in love with me." She said gently while she opens her eyes in Naina's. She's still struggling with her heart.
' How can I tell you it can never be? That I'm married also to his younger brother Da...' Naina sighed, distracting Boddo's thought. Understanding the confusion and disbelief in Boddo's reaction. "I know it's difficult to accept, Boddo. But emotions are complex, and sometimes our hearts lead us into unexpected directions. You have known Kamal your whole life, and perhaps he started to see you in a different light recently. It doesn't mean you have to reciprocate those feelings, but it's important to consider the possibility."
Boddo shook her head, tears welling up in her eyes. "But Naina, I don't feel that way about Kamal. I can't imagine him as anything more than a cousin and a brother figure in my life." Boddo wants to speak more but the bell rings. Naina smiled at her friend Boddo, " let's go!." She said helping her picked her belongings.

Kamal was busy driving on the empty road filled with anger and regret meeting Haydar today as he sees it a waste of time. Kamal's hands tightened on the steering wheel as his phone continued to ring, displaying the name "Little Baby." He knew it was Minal, his former love interest who had left him to be with his brother Datti in the US. He was still hurt and angry about the betrayal, and their relationship had been strained ever since.
Reluctantly, Kamal answered the call, but he remained silent, unsure of what to say or how to react. The line crackled with anticipation until finally, he heard Minal's voice on the other end.
" Big brother?" Minal said tentatively. "Is that you?" She asked again.
Kamal took a deep breath, steeling himself. "Yes, it's me," he replied, his voice laced with a mixture of bitterness and curiosity. "What do you want?"
There was a brief pause before Minal responded. "I... I wanted to talk to you,   brother. And you might not like what I am going to say to you. So, can I?."
