Manvi’S P.O.V

I always wake up late even though I sleep early; this is the biggest problem when it comes to early birds. “Manvi lunch is ready” called mom. I hopped out of my bed and head towards my closet; I took a quick shower and dry up myself; I wear the most incredible experiment style of mine (I also used to design dresses). “Manvi? Lunch is ready for the nth time” shouted mom.

Wait? What? Lunch? Oh my! I really woke up late.

I need to go to the mall to buy stuff for next week trip. Did Virat receive my letter? Ugh! So what if he did received it! He’ll never respond to it anyway. When I’m still in my day dream my younger sister surprised me…

“Big Sister, big sister, big sister” called my little sister. “What? Why in a hurry my little princess? I know that I’m late so don’t be surprised!” I teased and laughed at her. “No! I have some kind of good & bad news” she said. “Oh? So you’re now a reporter?” I chuckled. “Hey! Seriously and I don’t know if you’ll be happy or mad or whatever!” she said while catching her breathe. “Well, that’s quiet intriguing; well then, tell me” I smiled. “But first don’t be surprised! Ok?” she warned. “Ok!” I quickly answered. “Virat is on downstairs waiting for you” she said nervously. HUH?! Virat? What the hell is he doing here? “Ah! Okay” I said. “So you’re not mad or whatever?” she asked. “Nope? I’ll go downstairs in a minute” I bid. She just walked out and left. I thought I will be happy if he’ll come back but I felt hatred and a little bit mad.

I quickly ran downstairs and say “hi” to Virat’s mom. I saw Virat smiling at me but I just ignore him. I really don’t know what’s happening to me. I noticed a girl sitting on the couch and smiling at me. Who the hell is she? I don’t recognize her, Well I don’t care. “Hey Manvi, you’re so tall now and you’re beautiful than before. The last time I saw you, you’re shorter than me” complimented by Virat’s mom. I smile just a sign of response. “Well she’s a grown up now” said mom. “Where’s Dad?” I asked. “He’s in his office honey with Virat’s father, they we’re talking about something very important” mom answered. “Hey shorty, we’ll I guess I can’t call you that pet name anymore; Now you’ve grown tall but unfortunately not taller than me” teased Virat. I just put a fake smile and ignored him, I head to the kitchen to grab some drinks and left them in the living room.

Virat’s P.O.V

I felt guilty and hurt when she ignored me. Yeah! It’s my fault but I don’t want to end our friendship. NOT THIS DAY, NOT THIS TIME, NOT IN MY LIFETIME. “What happen between you two?” asked Maya. I was shocked when she asked it to me; I mean I didn’t expect it. “Hmmm… nothing, she just misses me. That’s all, right aunty?” I asked Manvi’s mom. “Yeah! Manvi was like Virat’s sister, they always spend their time together” answered Manvi’s mom. “But that thing was change since the day you left her. Big sister is a loner! She doesn’t want to talk to other people anymore” yelled by a girl just about 4 years younger than me. “Well, well, well! Nia? You’ve grown now” said mom. “Nia? You mean baby Ninny?” I asked. “Yes Virat, she’s the baby girl you used to borrow like a toy HAHAHAHAHA!” Manvi’s mom laughed. “I’m not a baby anymore, and I would prefer to call me Nia rather than Ninny” Nia shouted with a pout, so cute. She must be really angry for her sister, which in the other hand makes me happy because I thought that since the day I left there’ll be no one protecting Manvi. We heard footsteps from the hallway and glad to see Manvi. She’s more beautiful now, with a perfect body and a height of like 5ft6, a perfect brown hair that makes her more attractive. She’s so incredible, I might fall for her. WAIT? WHAT DID I JUST say? NO WAY! She’s my best friend and nothing more.

“Honey, why don’t you talk to Virat and Maya while I, Nia and Virat’s mom will go to the alfresco to prepare the table” her mom said. I heard Manvi groaned but soon walked towards us. “Whatever you say mom!” she responded. “Great honey, see you in a bit” her mom bid. My mom, Virat’s mom and Nia head quickly to the alfresco. 

Manvi ’S P.O.V
Shit! I’m so not getting over with this! Why is he here? I hate him! He really ruined my day!
“So you’re Manvi?” asked the girl, if I remember her name was Maya. She’s about two years younger than me. She’s tall, white skin with matching baby blue eyes, owns a perfect curly hair that just fit to her. “Haven’t you heard? Or is it not the obvious?” I replied. Now! Where are my manners? But whatever I don’t need to explain myself to anybody.

“Uhh! Hey look girls! Ahm… Maya she’s Manvi and Manvi she’s Maya my girlfriend” Introduced Virat. Wait what did he say? Maya was his girlfriend? I’m so not his best friend anymore. “Well, nice to meet you Manvi. Virat talks so much about you. How…” I cut her off. “Really? 
But I guess I need to say sorry of whosoever are you; your boyfriend didn’t tell HIS USED TO BE BEST FRIEND that he already got a girlfriend” I answered. “Manvi…” Virat wanted to say something when suddenly my little sister shouted. “Lunch is ready” we all nodded and walk to the alfresco. I let them walked first so now I was behind them! Is this really the role of a used to be best friend or friend? Shit! This is the best horrible day ever!

Virat’S P.O.V

As we arrived at the alfresco we quickly take a sit; and as I concluded Manvi will be sitting next to me and Maya will be sitting next to Nia. In fact, this will be a great opportunity to talk to her again when suddenly… “Nia, why you’re not sitting beside me?” asked Manvi. “Honey dear, don’t you remember that those chairs where named after the two of you?” said Manvi’s mom. “I also heard that too, Virat told me that it was the sign of your friendship” smiled mom. “You two we’re really great best friends” said Maya. “Ugh? Excuse me? USED TO BE BEST FRIENDS and F.Y.I we’re not that great!” said Manvi. Damn! Manvi will never embarrass me, well not ‘til today. “Yeah, I mean it’s all in the past and look we’ve grown now; we’re not kids anymore” I smile. “Well, great now Maya you mind if we’ll switch places?” Manvi asked sarcastically. She’s so horrible, upset! Crazy! Ugh! She’s ruining everything! “No not at all” Maya replied. “Excellent!” Manvi smirked. 

We eat lunch happily except Manvi; I mean she used to laugh but when I will start the conversation again she’ll ignore me. SHIT! I miss my best friend, she’s so near yet I can’t even hug her or even hold her.
