Forever! Together!

Chapter 5 : Friendship Phase 1

No. No. No love. No affection. No relationship. Friendship is okay. Relationship sucks.

Hahaha.... Well these type of thoughts crossed Aryan's mind each time he saw a beautiful girl around, and mostly after his breakup. Yes, an immature relationship where Aryan was immature and his girlfriend too. But now he was glad that his eyes were opened by that mistake and was even more happy to move on. And now so, he didn't want any damn relationships, as he wanted to become an asset for his aspiring parents, not a misfortune for them!

"No, I won't propose her. C'mon, I said I don't want any relationship.", Aryan said sternly.

"Oh, thank god! Now I will have a chance to propose her. Hehehehe...", Maddy said again in his same flirty tone.

Aryan sinply stared sternly and just said a thing, "Dare you do that and you're gone."

Maddy got shut up and still smiled.

"Hello guys. Good morning.", Aisha entered the class after getting out of bus in the morning. Aisha and Aryan were noth seating together since a week, and just the presence of Aisha besides him made Aryan happy. It was the best feeling.

"Hi Aisha, good morning."

"Hey dude, listen. Can you please help me in doing that Maths sums which mam gave yesterday? Please, or otherwise mam will punish me! Please, please!", Aisha requested Aryan.

"Oh, why not! Sure Aisha anytime.", Aryan said happily.

Aryan helped with Aisha's Maths sums and did everything very accurately.

"Wow, Aryan. You did it all so fast. Thank you soo sooo much."

"Hehe... Your welcome. By the way, can I ask a question to you?", Aryan asked somewhat hesitatingly.

"Yes yes why not? Ask for sure!"

"Ummm..... are we friends?", Aryan asked in a slow tone.

"What? Hahahahaha.... you are funny Aryan. Ofcourse we are friends.", Aisha said laughing at Aryan, as such Aryan had asked her a stupid question.
But Aryan was serious as he wanted to know what relation Aisha shared with him.

"And infact you know", Aisha continued, "you are the only one friend till now in this new school who understands me, helps me, a well wisher to me, no one has yet seen me as a friend. Not even that "drama queen" girls. I don't know why, but it is different here. I make friends very easily at any new place, but here they aren't friendly with an outsider."

"I had many friends in my last school in Delhi. Then here I shifted to Jaipur."

"But why did you shift here?"

"Dad has a tranferable job. We have changed places a lot, from Kanpur to Shimla to Delhi and then here. It's hectic sometimes."

"Yeah, I know."

"And so as don't ask stupid questions now. You are my only friend in NEBS. And Aryan, you are a very cool guy, talented, I ever wanted to meet this type of guy - the one who is always friendly with everyone, cool dude types, entertaining everyone, and ofcourse caring for a friend like me."

"I also wanted a friend like this, who understands me. I am glad we are friends then!"

"So, cheers to our friendship!", Aisha said cheerfully.

"Cheers", Aryan had a big grin on his face.

This is how everything started, everything began to seem like lovely to Aryan where he did not had such a bond earlier.

Post three months...
Their half yearly exams had finished. Aisha had made lot of friends and ofcourse Aryan was a friend to every group of guys and girls. But, both of them always enjoyed the company of each others, the talks they did in class and laughed heavily, the looks that sometimes met coincidently, and were so adorable. The gossips about everything in corridors, and making all others envy. All of them, even the seniors saw them as mere girlfriend and boyfriend.... But this idea never ever crossed Aisha and Aryan's mind.

Friendship is more beautiful than Love. And ofcourse, every relation starts with FRIENDSHIP!
