CRYSTAL'S P.O.V:

It has been more than a week since Ednil came to our place. This is the first time he didn't visit us for so long. Since I got married a few months ago, I noticed that he visits us at least thrice a week or sometimes every day. I can understand. Alicia is his childhood friend and neighbour. The sudden death of her mom left her devastated. Her distanced relatives stayed with her for four to five days and then she was left alone as her father left his mom for another woman when Alicia was only two years old and never returned. Ednil took a leave from his work for ten days at the time of her mom's death. Even after a month, he's always there with her in his free time. Sometimes she stays at his place and sometimes he stays at her place but he never leaves her alone. I always doubted if their friendship is limited to friends or is it more than that? I think I got my answer, at Alicia's mom's funeral. Ednil was crying the whole time as well as consoling Alicia. That was the first day I saw him crying and that was the first day he didn't laugh even once. Leave aside laughing he didn't even smile. He had a sad expression which clearly stated that he was feeling every feeling of Alicia and this can happen only in love. I know this as I too feel Kayon's pain seeing him in pain and I feel happy seeing Kayon happy.

Today I want to spend some time with Ednil. As a happy go lucky type of person, he can easily brighten up any person's mood instantly. I need him to change my mood because last week I'm feeling like crying all the time. Sometimes I get emotional without any reason. I don't know what has happened to me but I'm sure something is wrong with me. I even fought with Kayon for silly reasons but he didn't even scold me once nor did he raise his voice. He is caring for me too much. Sometimes I feel nauseous too. I need Ednil to freshen up my mood. So I decided to call him and I did.

"Hello princess, how are you?" Ednil asked receiving my call but his usual cheerful voice sounded off.

"I... I..." Before completing my statement I broke down.

"Hey is everything alright princess?" He asked concerned.

"Ednil can we meet today? Please." I asked.

"Anything for you princess." He replied.

"I miss you Ednil," I said.

"Me too princess. But as I couldn't leave Alicia alone I couldn't come there these days." He said.

"You can bring Alicia with you today. It'll be good for her to go out even for a little while. Constant crying and keeping herself locked in the four walls of her house will leave her depressed." I said.

"Ok, let's meet at the bar tonight. Maybe a few drinks will help to ease her pain for a while." He replied.

"That sounds good," I said.

"And yeah don't invite that stone-hearted, emotionless, jerkhead, etc husband of yours." He teased me.

"Shut up Ednil. I judged his character wrong at first but now I know he is a sweet, loving and caring person. There isn't any need for you to taunt me." I replied.

"Isn't your husband a total mood spoiler, a party pooper? Even if he sees anyone looking at you, he'll start fighting then and there and I'm not in a good mood to handle him." He said.

"You must know it that now he doesn't have any reason to get jealous or angry as he knows that I love him. And yeah I'll make sure he comes along no matter you like it or not." Saying so I disconnected the call but not before hearing Ednil chuckle.

At the bar...

"Hey, Ed isn't there any nasty comment in that filthy mouth of yours today?" Kayon asked Ednil.

"Not today Kay," Ednil replied.

I elbowed Kayon and in return, he only shrugged. Later on, he dragged me toward the dance floor and we started to dance. While dancing I waved towards Ednil and Alicia to join us but they nodded their head and denied. Since the time we came I, Ednil and Kayon tried to cheer up Alicia but eventually, we failed. I doubt if it's only her mom's death or if there's something else.

"Hey love what are you thinking?" Kayons voice near my ears drew me out of my thoughts.

"Nothing," I replied.

"It seems your mind is wandering somewhere else. Let's go towards our besties." Saying so Kayon pulled me towards Ednil and Alicia. Upon reaching there I saw Alicia wasn't there. The feeling of nausea returned and I excused myself and went towards the washroom. I heard someone crying and on entering, I saw Alicia crying. Seeing me she wiped her tears immediately. After emptying my stomach I saw her standing outside, probably waiting for me.

"Hey, dear is everything alright?" I asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine." She replied not looking me in the eye and I knew she's lying.

"No Alicia I know you are suffering emotionally due to your mom's death but I feel there is something more behind your tears. If you feel comfortable you can share it with me as sharing lessen our pain. I may not be your best friend but I'll try to be one." I said and she immediately hugged me and started crying again. I caressed her back to comfort her.

"Cryst... Crystal... I... I..." Stopping her in the middle I said, "let's go home and talk, come." I then pulled her towards our men as people passing by looked at us with a curious glance. Reaching towards Kayon and Ednil I asked them to take us home. Looking at Alicia, Kayon gave me a questioning look and I motioned my hand in action to convey the message that I'll explain it later on. Alicia and I sat in Ednil's car at the back seat and Kayon followed us in his car. Thank God he didn't protest as I didn't want to leave Alicia alone in such a state. She needed a girl this time to share her feeling and I'm glad that I'm there for her.

Upon reaching Ednil's place I went to Alicia's house with her and Kayon stayed at Ednil's place with him.
