The worst mistake

The best friends

Everything was getting better but still Harry knew there was something wrong. And he knew the reason also- it was a person, a person whose career he had just destroyed. That person was his own most probably ex best friend, rahul.

Harry wished that rahul had gone alone on the show or he wouldn't have come with Harry then this wouldn't have happened. Or maybe he would have thought before speaking.

But Harry knew now nothing could change so he tried to call rahul and say sorry but rahul wouldn't pick up. He also tried to send messages but rahul didn't even see one.

Harry was sending messages currently to rahul. He would everyday send messages of sorry at least ten times hoping that one of these days he would reply back. As Harry was sending message, the door opened and mahi bhai had come.

"What are you doing?" He asked seeing harry looking so sad and engrossed in mobile.
"No....nothing" Harry tried to lie as he didn't want to worry mahi bhai that everything wasn't right between him and rahul.

Mahi knew Harry was lying and looking at his face, he realized it was something bad. He had seen enough sadness on Harry's face and he didn't want to see it further so he again asked "Harry stop lying to me, tell me what's wrong?"

Harry couldn't ignore mahi bhai's this tone so he answered "rahul, he's not talking to me. I have tried calling him and texting him but he doesn't pick up or reply."

"Ohh" mahi answered realizing that rahul might be angry because of that show and him getting banned.
"You want to talk to him?" He asked thinking something.

Harry nodded and said "just one time, but he is not ready to even pick up his phone."
"Call him from my phone, that way he will not know who's calling and then you can quickly tell everything to him." Mahi suggested.

"It won't work, i had tried to do that from krunal's phone but rahul didn't pick it up."
"That's because rahul would have understood that you must be with krunal, but if you will call from my phone he might not realize this.

Harry realized that mahi bhai is right and then took his phone from his hands and called rahul.
After a minute of ringing, the phone was finally picked up by rahul.
"Hello mahi bhai" Harry heard Rahul's voice after what seemed like a long time.
"Rahul it's me." Harry said in a low voice.
"Hardik" rahul muttered.
"Why are you calling me from his phone? And i have an important work so bye." Rahul said and was about to cut but Harry said quickly "rahul just listen to me once please.'

Hearing the plea, rahul sighed and then said "if i listen, you will not text me or call me anymore right?"
"Yes, yes" Harry said quickly.
"Okay then what is it?" He asked.
"I know rahul, due to my mistake, you are also getting punished and i just want to say i am so sorry. I know you would never want to forgive me but just know that i am really really sorry and i really regret it."

"Good, is that all?" Rahul asked in a cold tone.
"Ye....yeah" Harry answered not knowing what to say further.
"Okay then good bye and please next time don't try to call me from mahi bhai's or anyone else's phone." He said and cut the call.

Harry gave the phone to mahi bhai and said "i am going out for sometime."
Mahi knew that it must not have gone good and to be honest he wasn't even expecting it to go good but at least they talked to each other one time and hopefully it will be more. He was also aware that Harry needed alone time for now and just nodded and Harry went away.

After rahul had cut the call, ten minutes had passed and rahul couldn't get Harry's sad voice out of his head. It was easier to ignore him when he hadn't even talked once but now rahul had realized that Harry was also sad.
He didn't know what to do, how to know if Harry was alright or not but then a idea came in his mind. He can ask mahi bhai.
At first he hesitated but then decided to call mahi bhai again.

Mahi was thinking about how he could help Harry and rahul to reconcile when Rahul's phone came.
Mahi picked it up and said "hello."

"Is Hardik near you?" Rahul asked.
"No, why do you want to talk to him?"
"No, i want to talk to you. I want to ask you something."
"Yes? What is it?" Mahi asked.
"How's he? Is he alright? everyone is talking to him, right? He's not alone na?" Rahul asked these questions together.

Mahi smiled a little seeing his concern for Harry. "calm down. Everyone's talking to him and he's better than before but of course not completely."

"Why? What happened?"
"His best friend is not talking to him, do you think he will be alright completely?" Mahi asked.
"I want to but i can't." Rahul said "i can't forget what happened. And i know this makes me sound bad and selfish but...." Mahi interrupted him "no rahul it doesn't make you sound selfish or bad, okay? You are angry on him because he did a mistake which might have costed you both your careers, it's understandable. And you can take your time, okay? He will understand. But i just want to say that i know how you are feeling right now. You want to punish him by not talking but you are feeling like you are punishing yourself by not talking to him, right?"

"Exactly" rahul said "what do I do?"
"Maybe just try talking with him properly, because whatever the mistake, rahul best friends can't ever leave each other. If they are true friends they will always need each other, no matter what happens."

Rahul realized that mahi bhai was right and that whatever happened, happened and he knew that he couldn't stay anymore without talking to Harry. "I will call him." Rahul at last said determined.
"Thanks for your help mahi bhai, goodbye."
"Bye" mahi answered and they cut the call.

Mahi sighed in relief as he realized that now Harry and Rahul's relation would also get better. Though it may not become like before in just some time,  but at least they will start from somewhere.

On the other side after rahul had cut the call of mahi bhai, he took a deep breath, calmed himself and dialed Harry's number.
Harry who was sitting in the garden wondering if everything would ever be alright between him and rahul, heard his mobile ring.

He was surprised and got nervous seeing rahul call but quickly picked it up.
"Hello" Rahul's voice came.
"Hi, what happened?" Harry asked surprise clearly evident in his voice.
"Nothing just wanted to talk to you, we have not talked since some time" rahul answered.

Harry smiled at this hopefully.
"It means you have forgiven me?" He asked.
"Do i have any other option? I can't live without your stupidity now can I?" Rahul asked grinning.
"Switch to video call." Harry ordered. And they both switched to video call and started talking to each other on fun topics.

After sometime when rahul had to go for some work and was about to cut the call, Harry said "rah i am sorry once again for whatever happened and i am so glad that you have forgiven me"
"Nah, nah, nah" rahul said "not that easily, i want a big treat when we meet again, with cake and ice cream and everything." He said laughing.

"I will tell this to vi, he will be so happy hearing that you want to eat cake and ice cream" Harry said.
"I dare you to tell him. If you open your mouth, i will tell all your secrets about the parties you love to go to."
"I was just joking" Harry said immediately "i will buy you whatever you ask once we meet and i will not tell anyone."

Rahul just laughed at his stupid but the most wonderful best friend.
"Okay now i have to go, bye."
"Bye" Harry replied and they cut the call.

Harry was now feeling every happy that rahul had also started to talk to him and slowly slowly he felt that his life was now coming back on track. He went to mahi bhai's room happily and the whole day they spend playing video games.
