To live, love and grieve with your best friends is the greatest blessing.
Keerthana the brat felt this when she was pinned against the Pub wall by her brother's best friend and the only guy she hated
"And what is this called?" She asked him
"Someth...

"Ahhhh how long will it take" Aishwarya grumbled as she slipped down the chair and pushed a hand of chips into her mouth when she felt someone hitting her head
"Shei! Don't hit or touch my hair you idiot " she whispered getting back to the chair grabbing her handbag fished out her tiffin box and passing it to her colleague Mukesh who sat next to her.
Mukesh and her joined together as an intern at the company and since then they have had a friendly relationship.
"Hey, machaaaa! You brought home-cooked food?" Mukesh asked kinda shocked and excited
"Why fear when Aishwarya is here!" she told proudly lifting her imaginary collars
"Aye chooo sweet!" Mukesh said as he pulled her cheeks and Aishwarya slapped his shoulders
They were currently in a boring retirement program of their manager! Aishwarya was kinda thankful that he is leaving not cause he was a bad man but then this manager of hers would always look at her when she is doing the most random shit in the world example; trying to push an entire sandwich into a mouth in a go or trying to highlight daisy cause she was important. So now that he is finally out! She might try to highlight Daisy again or push the sandwich into her mouth again.
"As we are heading to the end of the program! We finally have our new manager who is replacing our old manager soon!" Said the host of the show
Aishwarya now again went down the chair pushing a handful of chips into her mouth.
"Sike man! The guy looks hawt!" Said Mukesh
"Why are you gay???" She asked still under the chair with her mouth full of chips
"Hey stupid! Look up he looks hot!" Said Mukesh
Aishwarya knew they could never be a man as gorgeous as her Vikram! His face, his scent and oh that eyes of his.
Sighing she slid back to her chair wanting to see the man who Mukesh found hot! And when she did!
She felt herself choking on the chips in her mouth! There stood Madan in a formal purple shirt and black pants in the place of the new manager looking and smiling at everyone! His face did not hold the cruel cunning smirk now it was replaced but a gentle yet genuine smile.
The entire hall turned towards Aishwarya as she started coughing loudly! Unable to compose herself she walked out from the hall still coughing while Mukesh ran behind her patting her head.
"Drink this! Calm down calm down" Mukesh said passing her a water bottle
Drinking the water aishu could feel herself getting back to those times! How a pair of eyes used to hold jealousy watching her just talk with this Madan.
No........No! She can't let this happen again! Not when she was smiling again now! She won't let anyone from that college enter her life again except for her girls.
Things were easy as she, Mukesh and a few of her colleagues are getting a transfer to their branch in Mysore! Aishu knew she did not have to deal with Madan at least for now.
"Aishwarya?!" A familiar voice called her and she felt herself gulping down the lumps in her Throat along with her fears, slowly turning back she saw Madan looking at her worried and she hated this.
Worries, tears and pain! Why did she see all these so often nowadays
Madan looked so manly! Properly trimmed beard and fresh haircut and brights shirt and pants and now Aishwarya looked down to herself! A light faded pink Kurtha and a messy bun! She did look good she knew it but the happiness she had in dressing up! They felt lost and now when she saw people she envied it.

"You remember me?" He asked and she nodded
"You here in IT flew? He asked again
"Dis...disconnected BBA and took up BCA as my major," she said feeling the insecurities in her return.
She was a year held back from others and those 6 months when she stayed home trying to figure out her life was something she would never talk out loud.
"Oh, I get it! Right see you around aishu" Madan said and took his leave noticing her silence and uncomfortable posture.
********
Here in the Train Vikram sat scrolling his phone! He was all set to leave for Delhi as he had taken an order for a birthday party of a child and he was there along with his baking team.
A fee hears ago! He was on a train like this with a bunch of people who loved him and he loved them but now as he looked around it was just him.
He missed everything and everyone! He knew he fucked up but when he sat and thought about the consequences back then! It was just him getting messed up so Vikram moved things boldly but lil did he knew that his entire friends would be pulled by this shit.
He pulled up his phone and texted in their group chat! The boys stayed in touch but were unable to meet but calls and texts stayed just like the girls
The conversation started and Vikram ended up telling them how much he missed them the girls and the boys started talking about how good it would be if they could meet the girls again and Vikram immediately said yes so did Aravind!
"I just saw Keerthana last night," Arjun said while Dev remained quiet in the group.
Aravind and Arjun were not in a talking term which was a minus in the group so since they were online together it made them less awkward! They quickly ended the convo.
