Mannat: Siddreem|Sumisha|Rosal|

~part 4~

Jannat led me into the room and closed the door behind me.

"So."

"What was so urgent that you locked Roshni out?"

"Oh - she doesn't mind. She's too busy in her Vogue issue."

"Er, okay go ahead."

Jannat smiled slightly and sighed.

"Are there any people you like?"

"Hm, well yes - there was a guy called Sumedh in our class this morning - he was sweet, and...."

"Oh, Sumedh - yeah - he's a real jerk aka my crazy bestie."

"Ahh, nice."

"Well, any more?" Jannat asked, raising her eyebrows.

"Not really."

I saw Jannat click her tongue, like she wanted more.

"Umm, and - are there any guys you fancy?" She asked slowly and curiously.

My lips broke apart slightly and I breathed quickly at this question.

"I like this guy called -"

"Called...."

"No, I just - thought he's nice."

Jannat rolled her eyes.

"I'm your friend right?" She smiled and clasped my hand.

"Called?...." she began.

"He's called Sidd." I nodded.

Her smile seemed to fade into a look of horror.

"No no no! You can't like him!" She cried.

"Why not?" I asked in confusion.

She looked around her and whispered:

"He's Roshni's boyfriend's enemy - Faisal Khan!"

I gasped, putting a hand over my mouth.

Great.

I find a guy and he turns out to be a threat in my relations.

"I don't love him or anything -" I said quickly.

"Okay good. If Roshni found out I don't know what she would do."

As Jannat wandered around Roshni's room, checking out her new perfumes to put on, I just stood still, staring at the ground in depression.

What she had just said melted my hopes that were flying high.

"Anyways - come, let's go to Physics."

"Yeah." I said, pretending to be happy.

I was tangled in this whole friendship thing; I didn't know anyone too well, but somehow I was always inclined to take Jannat and Roshni's side, mainly because Roshni was my room mate and seeing she had so much confidence, it is hard to disagree with her.

All I want is smoothness and tranquility in my relations, I've never been involved in this mass friend fight and if making new relations was going to mean breaking old ones - then, hmm, maybe I would.

That's savage Reem!

"Um, Jannat - "

"Oh - my - Freakin - God."

"What...?" I asked as she opened an envelope and read a letter.

"We've been invited to Tunisha's birthday party!"

"... what's so oh my god in that?"

"She's one of the most popular girls in the college!"

"Oh... Is Roshni coming?"

"Shhhh! Don't tell her we're going!"

"We are?"

"Duh! If Roshni finds out she'll never talk to us again!"

"But why?"

Jannat sighed.

"It's a long story my friend; and when I say long, I mean it."
