Five years and a plot twist

I have secretly liked this girl for almost 5 years now. We were never best friends or anything. we would just talk occasionally, mostly on random occasions of common interests.

But somehow, year after year, we became a little closer and more comfortable with each other. Not dramatically, just naturally. And honestly, I started feeling like maybe there was something worth hoping for.

I never told her how I felt.

Then this year, completely out of nowhere, she tied a Rakhi on me.

It was 2 weeks after rakshabandhan.

She has absolutely no idea how I feel, and now I genuinely don't know what I'm supposed to do.

I have stopped messaging her or seeing her photos on social media, so that I can stop think of her. But here I am defeated.

Any ways that actually works to come out of this??
