The Roommate Love Story

Lena remained at the doorstep of a humble loft, delaying. Her heart hustled, not on the grounds that she was anxious about the move — she was utilized to change — but since she was moving in with somebody she hadn’t found in years. Somebody she thought she’d lost for eternity.

A delicate thump reverberated behind her, and she went to see Ethan, his natural smile illuminating the virus evening. His hair was more chaotic than she recalled, and there were little chuckle lines around his eyes. Be that as it may, his grin? That was the very same. The kid she’d once known was still there, covered under the years.

“Lena.” He said her name like it was confidential. The manner in which no one but he could.

“Hello,” she said, driving a grin as she ventured inside. She’d consented to this — moving in together, parting rent, the reasonableness, all things considered, — however presently, in the calm of his condo, the heaviness of the choice felt unique. Genuine.

Ethan shut the entryway behind them and looked around. “I want to believe that you like it. It’s… indeed, little, however comfortable. You recall how I’m with designing,” he kidded.

Lena giggled, the strain in her chest facilitating somewhat. “I’m certain it’s fine.”

It had been a decade since they’d last seen one another. In those days, their companionship had been indivisible. From shared birthday celebrations to secondary school feelings of anguish, they had been each other’s constants. In any case, life had pulled them this way and that. She’d moved away for school. He’d remained at home, pursuing his fantasies in the city. Gradually, their association had blurred, until the sum total of what they had were old texts and periodic web-based entertainment refreshes.

Presently, they were right here, outsiders professing to be natural once more.

“How about we unload your stuff,” Ethan proposed, ending the quiet. His tone was light, however there was a hidden delay. He was apprehensive as well. “I can take the love seat, on the off chance that you need the bed?”

Lena delayed. She had intended to take the sofa — she would have rather not been in his space like that. Not yet. Not with everything so… incomplete between them.

She shook her head. “No, it’s fine. You take the bed. I’m utilized to the love seat.”

The two of them went quiet as they began unloading, moving boxes, and squeezing bits of their lives into the little condo. Ethan put a couple of books on the rack, and Lena coordinated the kitchen. Sometimes, their eyes met, yet all at once neither said a lot. The old commonality was there, yet so was the heaviness of the relative multitude of things inferred.

At last, after what felt like hours, the two of them imploded onto the sofa, depleted. Lena could hear Ethan’s tranquil breath close to her, and briefly, the previous felt like it had been eradicated. This was them, back together.

“So,” Ethan ended the quiet, “how’s life been? Everything OK?”

Lena squinted, shocked by the straightforwardness of his inquiry. “No doubt, I mean, it’s… it’s been great. Just… a ton of changes. Work, companions, moving back here.”

“Definitely, that’s what I get.” His voice was delicate, smart. “It’s been odd without you around.”

She felt an ache in her chest. “It’s been odd for me as well.”

The two of them went calm once more, the heaviness of their common history drifting in the space between them. There were so many things they could discuss — things that had occurred while they were separated, things they’d both left inferred — yet neither of them knew where to begin.

Lena moved somewhat, moving in the direction of him. “Ethan, I — ”

“I missed you,” he shouted, then, at that point, in a split second looked humiliated. He ran a hand through his hair, the movement so recognizable it made Lena’s heart hurt.

Her breath trapped in her throat. “I missed you as well,” she murmured.

He looked at her, his eyes serious. “At any point do you wonder… what would’ve occurred on the off chance that we’d remained nearby? On the off chance that we hadn’t become somewhat distracted?”

The inquiry lingered palpably, and Lena felt her heart beat somewhat quicker. Could it be said that he was expressing out loud whatever she thought he was saying?

“Ethan,” she began, however she didn’t know what to say. The fact of the matter was, for a really long time, she’d pondered exactly the same thing. Imagine a scenario in which they hadn’t become separated. Imagine a scenario in which they had remained together, not as companions, but rather as another component.

However, the apprehension about demolishing everything between them, the companionship they’d once shared, had consistently prevented her from saying it.

Ethan appeared to detect her wavering. He inclined nearer, his eyes looking through hers, and without precedent for years, he took a gander at her as a cherished companion, however as somebody who could matter in another manner.

“Lena, we can’t return,” he said delicately. “Be that as it may, perhaps… Once more, we can attempt. At a genuinely new thing. Something else.”

Her heart skirted a thump. Her voice was scarcely a murmur. “Is it true that you are certain?”

Ethan grinned, his demeanor a combination of trust and weakness. “I would rather not simply be your companion once more. I need to be… more. So do assuming that you.”

Lena’s heartbeat hustled. She had no clue about what was in store held, however at that time, sitting on the love seat with him, all that felt right. She’d spent such countless years scared of losing him completely, apprehensive that assuming they made this stride, it would demolish everything. Be that as it may, presently? Presently she understood she would have rather not live in that dread any longer.

She gestured gradually, a grin pulling at her lips. “I assume I need that as well.”

Also, in the calm of that little loft, encompassed by boxes and the remainders of their previous lifestyles, the two of them at last let go of the past — prepared to embrace what the future could bring.
