The Man Behind the Curtain

When she reached home, she sat on her couch, staring at the empty walls. The silence in her apartment seemed deafening. She waked up walked to her room took an old diary of her and opened a marked page It read, "I'm sorry, I miss you. Please come back".

Rossy sat on her bed, lost in thought as she reflected on memories that had long been buried in the depths of her mind. Memories of her best friend Rachael...

It was her first day in collage, Rossy was new to the city, feeling a mix of nerves and anticipation. With no friends to rely on, as Rossy stepped foot onto the college campus, her heart pounded with nervous anticipation. She was apprehensive about starting this new chapter of her life. Amidst the sea of unfamiliar faces, Rossy stood alone. She was new to the city, unaware of the treasures it held.

With a smile that could light up the darkest of nights, Rachel approached Rossy and introduced herself. They instantly connected, like two jigsaw puzzle pieces finding their perfect fit. Rossy found herself something towards Rachel, their paths seem connected very first day of college.

Friendship blossomed effortlessly between the two as they shared laughter, secrets, and dreams in equal measure. Rossy found solace in Rachel's presence, her worries and fears diminishing with every word they exchanged. Rachel, on the other hand, cherished the opportunity to guide and support her newfound friend through the challenges of college life.

As the days turned into months, their bond grew stronger. They discovered shared passions and embarked on countless adventures.

After the first year of college, they were moved to the same hostel room, sealing their friendship in the tightest of embraces.

Late-night conversations filled the room, as they exchanged stories, dreams, and aspirations. They shared laughter and tears, comforting each other through heartbreaks and failures. They were pillars of strength for each other, always there to lend a listening ear or a comforting shoulder to lean on.

They did everything together, and their bond only grew stronger when they moved on. Rossy loved Rachel more than anything in the world, and she couldn't imagine a life without her. But slowly everything started changing.

One day, Rachel met John in her class, and they hit it off immediately. They started spending a lot of time together, and before Rossy knew it, Rachel had fallen in love with John. Rossy tried to be happy for her, but she couldn't help feeling jealous and neglected. Rachel was always with John, and Rossy couldn't get much time with her.

Days turned into weeks, and Rossy's jealousy turned into madness. Even in the nighttime Racheal being busy with chatting with John and Rossy feels more alone.

One night, Rossy couldn't take it anymore. She went to Rachel in library, hoping to talk to her. But when she got there, she saw Rachel and John together, laughing and kissing. Rossy felt like her heart was breaking into a million pieces.

She turned around and walked away, not wanting to see them together anymore. As she walked, she slowly realizes that she has something more feelings towards Rachel than that of friendship....
