Best Friends 78
Hi girls and guys, this week was amazing, first friendship day that everyone celebrates and then Raksha Bandhan, a festival which is one of my favorites. I hope this week was as superb for as it was for me. And as I generally say one should not wait for a specific day to show one’s love to others, it should be everyday, every moment of ones life, don’t you think?
Everyone knows about friendship day but now coming to those who don’t celebrate Raksha Bandhan, it’s a festival for Hindu religion where we cherish this amazing relationship between siblings. Girls tie rakhi to their brother’s wrist and their brothers vow to protect them from every bad thing. And also brothers give their sisters gifts, in a way thanking sisters to be in their lives.
COming to last chapter, I am glad you all liked it. Thanks for reading.
TANI: Thanks
SOUJANYA: Thanks
JNANA: I am glad you liked it. Even I think that a girl would really like a boy who is this understanding, calm and just so… good.
PHOENIX: You know phoenix and unicorns are my favorite mythical creature. What I mean to say is I like your name. I ma glad you liked it.
AMEE: I was really surprised when I saw you have written this much about best friends. Well let’s see what our topper does. And I am really not pretending to be surprised. Hey… I really don’t remember the first time you have commented on my post and for a moment I thought to take a peek at chapters to see when and what have you written on my post but I don’t do cheating so I controlled myself. So even if it hurts me to say this I accept my defeat and now you tell me do you remember when have you commented first and what have you written in it? And same rules goes for you no checking chapters.
RAKSHA: I am glad you liked it! And you will see today what happens to Ram.
YAMEE: Thank you sweetie.
ARJUNA: THANKS THANKS THANKS
PEARLY: THANKS dear.
MONU: Thankyou. I am glad you liked it.
SHERIN: Thanks … I like that you liked them.
LAASHYA: I ma glad you liked it dear… Thanks
ROJARANI: Thanks dear.
ANJALI: You know I don’t check on my comments before I start writing next chapter but when I saw e-mail about your comment. The way it has started intrigued me so I opened the site that instant and read your full comment. Believe me when I say you made my day. Don’t call yourself stupid, please. I am glad (actually glad is a small word in front of what I felt after I read your comment) that you thought my story amazing. Believe me I felt the same for your comment. I have a sister but still I can understand the urge.. Sometimes I also feel that a twin with whom I will have a natural connection would be nice.
Not to spoil the surprise but soon they will realize that they are missing the starting point from where it all started that is there friendship… their relation with each other as bestiis. Yeah… I pity him too and as we have already seen that Sanskar is no way near to being rational when it comes to Swara and his relationship with Swara so let’s see what happens. Maheswaris and Gadodias are friends for generations so their relationship with Mathurs won’t be like that but yeah as story continues I will make them enough friendly after all they are very important part of our Sanskar’s life.
Ofcourse you can call me Deepu… many of my friends call me that. And yeah I really have lot of friends and what’s better is that they all are my true friends whether they are online friends or offline. I am glad that my readers or friends would be better word to say take time to read best friends and comment on it.
This happens to me a lot… whenever I get a book and I like it… I regret that why I didn’t read it it earlier but then I console myself by saying that atleast I got to read this. And I am saying it again but I can’t help I am really really glad and honored that you liked my book that much. No need to say sorry.. That’s one of my few rules that no reader of mine should apologize to me. You can comment as much as you want and I swear I will try my best to reply to that. Thanks for taking so much time to read this story.
JIYANI: I am glad you liked it. Thanks dear.
AMMU: HEY! I am glad that you liked it and I will try to write raglak more but let me apologize I advance about today’s chapter because as last chapter was mostly on Raglak today Swasan will take the stage. Love you too. I hope you well, dear. Take care.
MALU: THANK you dear
VINI: THANKS sweetie.
ELIZABETHLOVELY: I am glad you liked it.
PEAERLY: Thankyou sweetie.
MILESTONE: THANKS
PRASHASHTI: Yeah.. When I finally completed it even I huffed heavily… thinking finally! I am glad you liked it and I hope you will like this chapter also.
So here it goes……….
Swara is biting her lip, stopping herself from saying something stupid. A cute frown on her face, implying that she is thinking really hard about how to get out of this situation. Her face down, too scared and nervous to face her boyfriend. Her eyes half shut, in the hope of shutting herself out from this situation.
Sanskar looks at Swara, his hand is still holding hers but he is not pulling her anymore. Sanskar looks at Swara making a confused, nervous face, all the while biting her lips. He groans in his mind. She doesn’t get to look so cute… so desirable. How would he be able to stay upset with her when every moment, he wants her to be in his arms, when he wants her eyes to look at only him, when he wants to bite that lip, himself. God, her lips! He never would have known that lips could be this distracting if he hadn’t saw hers. Before meeting swara he would have liked to think of himself as calm and rational person… as a guy who wouldn’t want to spend every living moment of his life kissing his girlfriend and doing things with her.
Trouble… that’s what she is…his girlfriend and he would be a liar if he’d say he doesn’t find it cute. Her cute and innocent mistakes always lead her to trouble and he would be damned if this habit of hers wouldn’t make her more desirable and cute. Everything she does, fiddling with fingers when she is nervous, her unknowing movement of moving closer to him, her unpredictable shyness with him, the way she traces his spine when they kiss, the way she sighs and closes her eyes as if she is content right there in his arms, the way she scowls at her loose hair when they come at her face, the way….
“HI?” His chain of thought breaks when an un-familiar voice interrupts his mind. He looks at Ram and remembers why they were on terrace at first place.
Focus Sanskar Mathur! FOCUS! He is supposed to be angry on Swara. And HE IS… He is angry but mostly upset with her. SO what if he always find her s*xy and desirable every moment… he just needs to be more focused. And also he need to stop himself from sniffing on her sweet but sensual scent. And also he needs to stop looking at her lips……… “You need to keep some distance from her” He murmurs to himself when he realizes that he is getting distracted again. With a jolt he leaves her hand and goes to the corner of terrace to keep some distance.
Swara, looks at him, her eyes showing that him pulling away from her has hurt her.
“Okay, now tell me! What the hell is this?!” Sanskar asks, his tone desperate as if he’d explode if he won’t have answers for another moment.
“What do you mean?” Ram starts followed by Swara’s groan. “She is my girlfriend?” It was more a question than a statement. Ram recalls the slap and thinks that he needs to improve him acting skills otherwise he will get another one from that old lady.
“I am not!” She declines sharply. “Topper, I don’t even know this guy… I haven’t even seen him before today!” Swara explains looking at Sanskar.
“Hey… No need to lie about your love for me. Your grandmother told me everything” Ram stands beside and whispers in her ear, loud enough for Sanskar to hear.
“She is not lying” “I am not lying” Sanskar and Swara speaks together.
“So is it the other girl?” Ram asks Swara, still holding her hand. Sanksar pulls her away from Ram.
“What other girl?” Sanskar asks, scowling.
“The girl who is in love with me… Who is that girl?” Ram asks, totally confused about what is he doing here. “Is it you or that other girl?” He asks Swara.
“You talk to me!” Sanskar orders “And none of them are in love with you… stop having high hopes” Sanskar snarls at Ram.
“So there is another girl? God, how many girls are there in this house? Look just let me meet that girl who loves me… I know it’s too hurtful but I will have to break her heart” Ram explains them his desperation of seeing that girl for whom he is beckoned here. When he Sanskar’s suspicious and Swara’s glaring eyes at himself. “Look let me meet her… I promise I will try to break her heart gently. I know it must be hard to move on from guy like ME” Swara snorts at his high note of me.
“What the hell is going on here? You both don’t know each other yet Dida and Dadi are saying that this … this guy is your boyfriend?” Sanksar pulls his hair in frustration. With every passing moment he is getting more and more frustrated and Ram’s highly opinion about himself is not really helping.
“See! You are the girl, I knew it! But I didn’t understand how can you fall in love with me without actually seeing me let alone knowing me?” Ram wonders then makes a face as if he just realized how Swara got to know about him. “It must be due to the tales of my greatness”
This time Swara and Sanskar both snorts.
“She is not that girl!” Sanskar argues. “She is!”
“She is not”
“She is”
“She is not”
“She is”
“Will you guys let me explain?” Swara barks at both of them, shutting up them like she has just put a silencing spell on them.
“Explain!” Both guys say in unison, as if upset that they had to finish their not so mature verbal fight.
“See…” Swara begins to explain, but her mind blank. Ragini should have been here beside Swara to explain everything, She thinks. After looking at entrance and realizing that her twin sister, partner in crime has left her alone to solve this tangled web of lies. “It was that evening…..” Swara finally starts only to get interrupted.
“Don’t tell me that you are gonna go on with ‘it was that evening, when everything was silent… pin drop silent as if forecasting the coming disaster”
“Shut up!” Swara and Sanskar orders in unison!
“It was that evening” Swara again starts from the start, hoping that this time she won’t get interrupted and her twin sister will come to her rescue soon. “When you were upset with me, remember? Because I was giving you silent treatment” When she sees the flash of recognition in her boyfriend’s eyes she continues “I and Lado were discussing ways to pacify you. She was refusing to help me then I tried to convince her by saying that I love you so much and exactly…. exactly” Swara takes a dramatic pause “at that that Dida heard. She started asking me that who do I love… that day I made up the excuse of ranting out my frustration on my boyfriend due to what’s going on in the house and she accepted but only on one condition that she will get to meet the guy!” Swara looks at Sanskar. He has his thinking look on. He is thinking hard to find out that where does Ram come from in between of all this.
“I should have known that both of you sisters are involved in this! Go on complete the story” Sanskar states, what he has gathered from the story till now.
“Then to keep ourselves away from Dida’s and Dadi’s hook we made a plan. I would be silent, most of the times, wouldn’t laugh and the lado would lie that I was acting like that because I was heart-broken since the guy dumped me. But then our plan backfired. Dadi and Dida wanted me to tell about who the guy so that they could see him and tell him that their granddaughter that is me, loves him a lot and he should not leave me.” Swara tells them, all the while a guilty look on her face.
“What I don’t understand is why you didn’t tell me or even informed me that Dadi and Dida has come to know about your boyfriend somehow and you don’t have any idea how to deal with that?” Sanskar’s confusion clear on his face.
“We had just sorted out our differences…. we were happy so I didn’t want to tell you and I didn’t tell Dadi and Dida about you b’coz they as soon as know they know about us they are gonna start planning our wedding day.” Swara tries to explain but when she sees that the confused look on his face is still on she continues “What do you mean I had no idea how to deal with it. I and lado told both of them that my boyfriend is not at all a good man… infact he is the bada$s of our college. At that time time they seem convinced so we thought there is no matter in elongating the issue when we both have solved this. Now what I don’t understand is how in the hell their search reached him?” Swara wonders looking at Ram with frown on her face.
“Oh.. Thank god you or another girl doesn’t love me otherwise your grandmothers would have made me marry you forcefully just the way they forced me to come here and patch up with you” At Swara’s and Sanskar’s questioning gaze on his statement about Dadi and Dida forcing him, he begins explaining that how their grandmothers came to college and asked him about who is the bad guy in college and then how they forced him to come here or else…
His explanation making Swara and Sanskar laugh.
“The badboy of our college got beat up by Dadi and Dida!” Swara exclaims and again falls in pit of laughter.
“Hey I might be famous for being badboy but I respect elders… my father has raised me better than that. I don’t even behave as such a stuck-up a*sh*le every time, it’s just I was trying to make an bad impression on that girl.” He explains his behavior.
“congratulations! Mission successful” Swara says between her laughter referring to his attempt of making a bad impression on her.
“What do I do? I am a great actor, I just change myself according to that character” Ram brags about himself making Swara snort.
“Are you sure you were only pretend to be a stuck-up @sshole.” Swara mocks Ram, making both of them laugh and Sanskar frown at their casual behavior.
“You are laughing that means bhai is not thaaaat upset” Laksh teases when he sees Swara laughing.
“That means I am off the hook” Ragini takes a relieved breath. Her guilt suddenly decreased by 1000 times seeing that her sister managed the situation.
At that all four of them, Swara, Ragini, Laksh and Ram looks at Sanskar waiting for his reaction.
Sanskar shakes his head making all of them think that either he is angry or he is gonna throw a fit.
Swara and Ragini looks at Laksh but scowls at them when sees his gesture of surrender as if telling them that both sisters will have to handle this by themselves as they, themselves are responsible for this situation.
“Topper you know Dida and Dadi they’d have got hyper only that’s why I lied”
“And she didn’t want to give you extra tension”
“I thought we have handled this”
Swara and Ragini starts explaining at the same time making Sanskar confuse.
“Alright! But you both are not going to be forgiven this easily every time you hide something from us, understand???” Ragini asks to which Swarsa and Ragini nods.
“And you are not gonna tell lies about how you’re feeling, promise?” Laksh asks referring to Ragini’s lies about her feelings few days ago. Again Swara and Ragini nods.
“Bestie hug!” Four of them shouts in unison and have a group hug!
******************
A/N: I know this is kindaa short but with every festival and then 15th August next week I have a lot to do. Next chapter will be here on 16th August. I promise and that chapter will be the most awaited one because Dida and Dadi will finally know about their love relationships.
