Life with my best friends

Chapter - 9 The bond

Jannat: So when I was in 11th grade, there was this guy in my class. I sort of had a crush on him. I mean, nothing serious it was just some random teenage puppy love. And the weirdest thing about this was that Siddharth always tried to pull his leg. I don't really know why but he used to play pranks on him, annoy him and do all kinds of things to irritate him. 

Anushka: Did Siddharth know about your crush?

Jannat: Yeah obviously. I think he was the first person I told this to. He used to irritate the guy becuz I had a crush on him.

Anushka: Oh God, why would he do that? 

Jannat(smiles): Insecurity

Anushka: Insecure of what? Whoa back up, did Siddharth like you?

Jannat: Luv please, let's not get crazy here. He kinda felt that if at all the guy I had a crush on would respond to my feelings, then I would technically not be able to spend time with him any longer. 

Anushka: And he told you this?

Jannat: No, I assumed this would be the reason since I know exactly how his brain functions.

Anushka: Well it seems to me more like he liked you, and he didn't want you liking your crush 

Jannat: I guess I never thought of it that way but I don't really think that's true

Anushka(shrugs): Anyhoo, where is this Siddharth?

Jannat: I'm pretty sure he went to see if Avneet was doing fine

Anushka: Yeah might be. I'll just call him and ask.

Just then, a knock was heard on the door, and 

Jannat: Come in!

In walked a handsome young guy in his early 20s. He had the most beautiful eyes, an exact replica of Siddharth's eyes. 

Guy(bends down to hug her): Jaan kaisi ho tum?

Jannat(excitedly): Abhi bhaiyaaaaaaa! 

Abhishek: How long is this plaster gonna stay?

Jannat: About a week

Abhishek: Oh damn. Make sure you take care of yourself hun. Anushka how's you?

Anushka(fist bumps him): Great! How about you?

Abhishek: I'm fine too. Guys I need to get going now but I'll keep visiting you okay? Take care and get well soon.

Jannat: Byeeeeeeeee

Jannat's POV: Abhishek bhaiya has always been my elder brother. I mean he is Siddharth's brother by birth. But I like to call him mine. He has always been there for me whenever I needed emotional support. And since my dad passed away when I was little, I looked up to Abhi bhaiya. He cared for me like I was his real sister and loved me like anything. Its a great thing that he goes to our college. 

Siddharth walks in through the door cluttering Jannat's thoughts. 

Sidd: Anushka chal. We have a class now

Anushka waved at me before walking through the door that Siddharth held open for her. He smiled at me before closing the door silently. I miss my dad too much every day. I hope he is watching me from up there. I always wonder what it would have been like if my dad was here with me today. Well, everything I am today, I owe to my lovely mother. She means the world to me. And not to mention Ayaan of course. He is my little brother. I do feel lonely without the father daughter bond but I always thought of Siddharth's dad as mine too. So like I said, we are one huge family. He calls my mom as mumma and when we were little, we used to take care of Ayaan together. Words would fall short if I had to describe the amazing memories I have made with Siddharth over the years. We used to go to swimming classes together but then I dropped out soon because staying in the water made me prone to cold like anything. We played cricket on Saturday mornings, have had tons of sleepovers, celebrated each other's birthdays, gone to the school award ceremonies together, we even went on late night drives together. Have you wondered why I don't have a nickname for him when he calls me Jaan? Well you know how there are some things that can't be described or given a name? That's Siddharth for me. He means a lot more than my dil and jaan (insert some more fancy words here) to me. Okay, let's not get carried away. Right, so I have never said this to him. I don't know why. But I didn't. Maybe the time has come. Or maybe it hasn't. And honestly, seeing Siddharth walk away from me would hurt worse than a break up for me. That's who he is. That's how amazing he is. I want to hold on to him forever. That's what makes me sad. I am so very dependent on him that if some day something happened and if he left me then I might end up in depression. I fear that this will happen. So I try to show like dude you are not that important for me. But he is. He is so much more than important. His family is so much more than important. I lost someone dear to me, but at the same time I got people whom I love very much. I don't wanna let go..
