"Friendship is born at the moment when one man says to another "What! You too? I thought that no one but myself." — C.S. Lewis

Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art.... It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things which give value to survival. Friendship in simple words is a relationship you have with your chosen family. Friends are the sisters and brothers we never had, and are by our side through life’s ups and downs.

Friendship is the hardest thing in the world to explain. It’s not something you learn in school. But if you haven’t learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven’t learned anything. Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born.

FAB5's JAM ROOM
Mukti, Alya and Dhruv were there. They had also heard Cabir's announcement. They were laughing their hearts out hearing him. More than that they could imagine how Manik's reaction will be.

They were well aware that Manik will burg in any moment and search for Cabir. May be that's why he is not around.

As they thought, they heard the door flung open and Manik Malhotra walked in. He was fumming in anger. His eyes were spitting fire.

Mukti, Alya and Dhruv wanted to laugh but they controlled themes.

"Manik, what happened? Why're you so angry?" Mukti moved in front of him chuckling in mind.

Manik threw a glare to them. "Where is that joker?" He uttered gritting his teeth trying to suppress his anger.

"Cabir?" Alya asked with an innocent face. "Why? Why're you looking for him? What did he do?"

Manik's eyes shot open. He looked at all of them in disbelief. "Are you seriously asking what did he do?" Manik rubbed both his palms on his face. "You guys can't be serious!!!" He was getting frustrated with their carefree attitude.

"Buddy, relax..... It was just a prank." Dhruv said but a chuckle left his mouth unintentionally.

Hearing him, Mukti and Alya too chuckled.

Manik left a breath seeing them. He sat on the chair placed there. That time the door got opened a little. From there Cabir peeked in. Manik noticed him. Cabir was about to go back again. But Manik called him.

"Areh, Cabir? Where're you going? Come in. We were waiting for your only." Manik said sarcastically.

Cabir gulped down his saliva and faked a laugh. "I didn't know that you love me so much." He stood a little away from him.

Manik too laughed and got up from him place and went near him. Manik stood just in front of Cabir. "Yeah, I love you so much. But how can I love you?" Manik pretended to be thinking. Then exclaimed. "I was lost in someone's eyes. My new found love, right?" He asked in a matter of fact tone.

Cabir tried to laugh. "Man... Manik..."

"Yes, Manik." Manik gripped Cabir's neck as if he was going to press it. "Now speak all your rubbish."

Mukti and Alya were laughing. Cabir was struggling in Manik's hold. "See I'm your best friend. You can't kill your friend. On top of that I've so many things to do. I can't die so soon." He was still not done with his drama.

Dhruv now went forward and tried to free Cabir from Manik's grip. "Buddy, leave Cabir."

Finally after struggling some more time, Manik left Cabir.
