It all started
when she decided to leave. This wasn't what we decided , this wasn't supposed
to happen . It wasn't what I planned. I never expected this day to come
beacause she promised us . Me and Rohit. I was shattered, maybe that would be
over exaggerating but she is my only friend. My bestest friend is going. I feel
even sadder for Rohit. They both were madly in love , though I was isolated
sometimes but they were my besties. Rohit hugged her for the last time and she
climbed up the train soon after that. Her eyes were puffy after crying. She
didn't want to do this but she had to. It was her parents last wish. I hope
this day would never have come. Rohit's expression was just blank. As the train
gave its signal to leave it pained my heart, my body. This couldn't just
happen. The train started moving and the tears would burst out anytime. I was
inconsolable and I did have my burstout. I banged onto his chest and started
crying. It was all going wrong. I started getting fears. Rohit just hugged me
back patting my back and I just kept crying. In all this cryin nonsense I did
not realise what I was doing. Embarrassed , I moved back. I didn't have to be
close to Rohit. It would make matters even worse. " She's not there
anymore now! You don't need to worry" he told me putting his hand on my
shoulder. I jerked his hand gently.
"We can't do this Rohit we will be backstabbing her" I told him
without looking into his eyes. " Oh yeah really" he said with pure
sarcastic anger. "What a b**** she was, you lied she never was your
bestfriend, you just assumed it . She always took advantage of you and stole
your everything including me. If it wasn't for you I would have never done
this." " You don't know anything, yeah she is my best firend and you
should mind your own buisness and not poke noses in our matter". I said
this , knowing he was right. She was mean, selfish, greedy and a desperate for
love. But more than that I still thought she was my bestfriend, like how we
were when we were small. I never knew when she started changing. I never realised it. "But your my
buisness" he said it with so much love and gentility that I was forced to
look up at him. He looked back intently with that love he held for me , he had
never loved Sania, and I could never reciprocate back to this love. It had
become very hard , when Sania did purposely try to flaunt , I pretended as if
It did not hurt me but I had to bear it.
I wouldn't break my best friends heart. I looked away and walked away
home. Home was also very lonely. My home consisted of only me and my
grandmother aka dadu. My parents left me
when I was too little to understand things. My grandfather left us three years
ago . Dadu was ageing and I couldn't do anything for that. I just had three
people in my life . It would be all over when there would be nothing. I am 19
friendless, with a job but no colleagues . Dadu also hated Sania , I know why .
She always wanted me to be with Rohit,
but it was Sania who grabbed him. "Boo" dadu attempted to
scare from behind. I pretended to get scared. This was what I loved about dadu
, she is supposed to be a mature grandmother but she behaves just like a kid.
" You should be happy today " dadu said. "Why? " I knew
what her answer was going to be , obviously that Sania was gone, but anyway she
was returning in a month. " Your birthday is just a month away" she
squealed like a child. " I have so many preparations to ..." She
continued speaking. I froze . I needed
to think. " Ummm.m Dadu could you make me some coffee? " I asked so
that I could get some time for myself. I walked into my room, and dropped
myself on the bed. Sania told she was going to marry him the day she came back.
And it was my birthday that day. Was she doing this purposely, ? I couldnt help but cry. there was so less
time left. Dadu came in with my coffee and I gulped it in a go." What's
the hurry beta? Too excited to meet Rohit! " . I could not lie to Dadu , I
told her everything that happenend, and hoe I felt. Though the generation gap
she seemed to under stand me so well. " Beta , you will have to fight .
Fight back for your rights and your love. You can't be dominated for the rest
of your life. You have to , Natasha , you have too. " She said it in the
sweetest possible way. I knew. I was strong, I was tomboy 5 years down the
lane, how did I become weak? . I knew he still had the effect on me. How did I
let people take over me? And importantly how much ever I tried to deny I
still loved him more than anything.
