The End.

I mean does a friendship ever end? Is it really that easy?

I got my answer by experiencing the end.

It was right after we wrote our IELTS exam and I was praying for him to get a good score but God didn't hear me this time. But on the day of our exam we had left off on a very bad note and then we didn't speak until the results came out.

I got 8 points and he received a 6.5. He called me and told me his grade I told him mine. And we spoke for a while like strangers. After that we didn't talk for almost a month. His birthday was the next day and I texted him asking if he would mind if I wished him on his birthday. He was like it would be good if you did I guess.

I did wish him the next day and that's it, we didn't talk for over a month again. The pain was getting unbearable slowly. It was a slow ache. It started in the depths of my heart and started slowly spreading through my whole body. I would text him and he would see the text and not text me back. Questions came to my mind like where did I go wrong? What did I do wrong? He never replied to anything. The pain got so unbearable inside me that I enjoyed physical pain because that told me I was not going numb. That I could still feel. That I am still alive.

A few days later I sent Hepsi the evidence of my pain and she being my best friend forwarded it to Akshay. Akshay did respond to her saying I'll talk to her and sort it out.

He did end up calling me.

"Hello?"I said slowly.

"Hello Shalini. Can I speak to you now?" Akshay said.

"Yeah. Go ahead?" I said clutching my phone tight in my hand.

"What's your problem?" he asked me.

"Nothing." I said in a monotone.

"Then why do I have your friend sending pictures and all that shit? You were fine right for the past two months when we didn't talk? What happened all of a sudden?" He was pissed.

"Who told you I was fine? You didn't bother checking up on me!" I said raising my voice.

"Ok. I have a lot of things going on in my life and can't deal with all this ok? I really regret ever meeting you. Why do you have to be so immature and childish? And why is that bitch Hepsi coming in between us?" Oh no, he didn't just say that.

"Don't talk about my friend like that."

"I thought I would speak to you in a while, but whatever chances you had you are just ruining them even more. I don't understand why are your friends involving between us. This is the reason I told you I wouldn't come with you and your friends. If I wouldn't have come they wouldn't know me and wouldn't have the right to ask me any questions."

"How can you say that? You just suddenly stopped talking to me. I don't even know why?" Akki was not making any sense to me.

"You don't know? I didn't think you were so dumb. I stopped talking to you cause you are immature, childish and stupid. Stop acting in front of me. Yeah we fought, can't you just sit calm about it. Why do you have to tell it to everyone and make a scene?" It was like I didn't know this person, the way he was talking to me.

"When talking to her, if I am sad, of course it will come out right?" I said trying to make him understand.

"Okay. But why is she sending me pictures and shit?"

"Whatever I did it wasn't because of you. Don't judge me over it." I said getting defensive.

"Please stop acting like a child. You are sad about something it's your problem. Why am I being involved by your friends?"
