All that she needed was FRIENDSHIP 💕

The epilogue

Ahaan didn't give a second thought to their friendship. Meanwhile, he also knew how much Ariba cared about the friendship bond. He would talk to her just like someone does something for time-pass. He wasn't the same person with whom Ariba had spent her time and created memories with. There were many classmates who tried to break this bond but they weren't successful. How quickly life changes, now Ahaan himself wants to get rid of this fascinating friendship.  Finally, Ariba decided to let go the friendship bond she shared with him. This was the most difficult task for her. But she knew that if she didn't his behaviour would continue to hurt her. She no longer wanted to be felt as the only one who was trying to hold on. She realised that no matter how hard you try to hold on to someone, one day they will leave you. The more you try, the more you cry. Sometimes happiness is found in losing people who don't appreciate your presence in their life. ALL THAT SHE NEEDED WAS FRIENDSHIP to lasts forever, it didn't happen. She learnt a great lesson for life. She recognised her self-worth.

Two best friends from two different cities, Time and distance uncovered the reality of their friendship. One took the other for granted. She lost him but gained herself ❤️

Though Ariba fell in love with him, she never confessed it because Ahaan was more like a handsome and charming boy. He was never serious about love and had many admirers. She had also promised her sister that she will not get into a relationship  (Sister had asked Ariba to promise her, because she didn't wanted her sister to get betrayed and focus only on creating a meaningful career) So  Ariba felt that atleast friendship would keep them united forever. As ALL THAT SHE NEEDED WAS FRIENDSHIP. It didn't turn out the way she wanted to. Life had different plans. She finally accepted the fact that some friendships aren't meant to be. She was so much into preserving their friendship that she forgot about her self-worth. She knew that he was just playing with her feelings. But still allowed him to do so. Ariba a soft-hearted, happy girl was turning into a sorrowful girl. She had to take one of the toughest decision of her life. She had to either choose someone who didn't bother about her presence or the blissful girl that she was before.  At the end, she chose herself and placed self-respect above any relationship and lived happily everafter.
On the other hand, Ahaan was not affected by her absence in his life. Ariba walked away from his life and never turned back. Hereafter, She made herself a priority and moved on. 💕 She finally understood that ALL THAT SHE NEEDED WASN'T FRIENDSHIP BUT HERSELF ❤️
