Great post. Really liked Mishti's realization. It was subtle and poignant. Mishti hasn't fully recognized her feelings but I liked how she was overwhelmed that someone can love her to this extent. That concept seems alien to her. There was no anger or frustration that her best friend was in love with her. Its like she knew subconsciously all along that Abir has feelings for her and this painting just brought it to the forefront. Loved the way Mishti said 'Abir' right after the realization sunk in :)
