the best friend

chapter 1

It was a well furnished room, untidied by the mess made by the girl sleeping peacefully in her bed, as it appeared to. Her alarm rang, it gave her a signal that she doesn't have to pretend to sleep anymore. She switched off the alarm and went to her bathroom to freshen up. She came out of her room while packing her books in her backpack. When she was done, she yelled, "Mom college jaa rahi ho!" as she left.

"Areishita! Purvi nahi jaa rahi tere saath? Kya baat hai bade dino se nazar bhi nahi aa rahi."

Hearing the name Purvi, made her freeze where she was standing.

She didn't know how to react, so she ran away from there.

Running from there, didn't save her from the memories she was running from. All the way, she only thought of Purvi, her best friend, who was never gonna leave her, but time played its game and they drifted apart and it seems like they have left each other forever. The flashbacks were playing continuously in her mind.

flashback:ishita was sitting alone in her room again. She always wondered that why nobody could tell when she was actually sad, but everyone thought she was sad when she really wasn't. Purvi had yet again cancelled their another plan. It had been a month like this. Their never-ending phone calls had become of just 15 minutes, that too seldom in a week. She had understood that Purvi has got a new life, where she isn't needed. so, she also backed out and became lonely again. Her bestfriend just says hello to her now. Time really changed them.She noticed Purvi in her classes, she only hung out with her boyfriend Kavin and his friends. They seem to be happy, just like they used to be.

It was lunch time. She sat alone as she opened her diary, her newfound best friend cum therapist. Every page was decorared with roses on the corners. She started pouring her heart out, until her pen fell down. she bent to pick it up, when she heard, "wow, that's really pretty."

she looked up to find a handsome young man smiling at her. She got up and mumbled a small thank you. It seemed like her loneliness had ended until she heard a scream from Kavin, "yaar Dush idhar aa jaldi!"

"aaya! k then, see you later!" said dushyant as he rushed to his best friend as she watched him leave.

"well I think I really should do something for a better luck!" remarked ishita as she got back to her diary, unaware of what was going to happen next.
