Story untold

What do i tell a person who is madly in love with someone and he just doesn't care. They are best of friends. They can have a conversation about anything under the sun. They meet, they laugh, they talk like there is nothing between them. From his side...there is nothing. He values her friendship. He needs her advice when he's confused, he needs her to point out that he's stuck up... he never tells her all this though. She loves him. She always did. She's even told him. At one point things worked out. They were happy. He loved her too. And even told her. He suddenly changed. He said he meant it as a friend. He began to ignore her. They were in the same coffee shop where a month ago, she was sick and he was forcing her to drink masala chai while he enjoyed his strawberry milkshake. Now they sit, he staring at the table, she punching away on her mobile phone. Something she never used to do when he was around. They were together, yet apart.
She tried moving on. Tried keeping herself distracted. She tried questioning him he just didn't budge. He was a friend and she had misunderstood. His version. Her version - he said he loved her and also confirmed that he meant every word of it. He also messaged her often saying that he did. All that was sometime ago. He had grown up in a month. She had grown too much into it in month. She left the city. She tried being away thinking that distance and time will heal. His conference brought him to the same city. They met. She tried to keep out the emotions. She did till she was in his presence. The minute he left, she broke down.
They had tried to be friends. He was ok with it. She was trying real hard. Atleast she pretended to. He started ignoring her again, this time for no rhyme or reason. She asked him why. He responded saying she was imagining things. She wasn't. She came back to her hometown. He was ok again. He wasn't ignoring her. He started talking to her properly again. Asked why he had earlier ignored her, he stated that he thought she was falling for him again. Idiot when did she ever fall out of love for you??? She simply laughed it off. Screamed at him and told him to never assume things again. Liar!!!
They still talk. They still laugh.....or atleast he does. They still meet up. Every time he wants a song and can't find its download, he comes back to her even if they are fighting. She spends hours trying to find one song for him. He's happy. She's happy that he's happy. She can't do much anymore other than bury what she feels.
They are friends to the world. In her heart, he will always be hers. And they lived happily ever after... in their own separate lives.
