There is a quote from one of my favourite author that "Life has a way of testing a person's will, either by having nothing happen at all or by having everything happen at once." I am Kanika and this is my story.

It was a cold night, i was sitting alone in a park near my old house, gazing at nothing particular but remembering those old happy times when he was with me, those memories that have always made me smile all these years. It feels like yesterday when we were so young and naïve, we used to sit under this very banayan tree, its funny how this tree has  not changed with time even though it has grown old but us.. we have changed so much... I was thinking about all  the decisions that I had made that lead me here today away from him......

Me and veekay met when we were kids. I remember my family had shifted to delhi next to the kohli's when I was five years old. I was kind of a loner kid because all my friends lived in Ahmedabad and I was so angry at my parents because of them I had to leave my friends. Funnily enough I don't even remember a single one of them now. I went to my new school and there I met Virat. We were in the same class  i still remember the mischief in his eyes and that patent smirk of his when we met for the first time rest is history we were inseparable since then.Even when he was young he was still the most famous boy of our class.  We used to sit in this very park for ours doing all sorts of weird activities. I think we were eight when he fell in love with this game that became his passion and life CRICKET.

When we were kids I used to watch him play gully cricket for hours; my parents had got me a doctor set on my eighth birthday. Whenever veekay got hurt while playing I used to come and act like I am a doctor and he is my patient, all the guys used to laugh even our parents found it funny but to us it was the most realistic thing at that time.

Time passed and he became more and more passionate about his game, he switched school so that he could spend more time practicing at the academy, I remember not eating for a whole day and blackmailing my parents so that they could switch my school as well; I liked being in his company after all he was my best friend. I would have done anything for him. 

Since veekay became busy with practice and stuff, I thought he would just forget about me but every night he would climb up my window and we would talk. While we were in our teenage years everyone in school used to tease us that there is something fishy between us. I dont know when i started to  like being teased by his name and then i realised that  I was irrevocable and completely in love with my best friend.  But i knew that my best friend being  an idiot; brainless idiot would never realise. It was me who  was proved an idiot  that day and i was heartbroken would be an understatement......

THIS IS MY FIRST ATTEMPT AT WRITING, I M TRYING MY BEST TO MAKE IT EXPRESSIVE AND INTERESTING... FORGIVE ME IF THERE ARE SOME MISTAKES.. xoxo
