Friends Forever

Story about two friends and their bond of friendship. How deep it goes and how much it means to them.

* Phone ringing *

The screen now shows thirty missed calls. Kai looks at the phone, sighs and thinks ‘what now?’. Phone starts ringing again and with defeated gesture he picks up the call but could not quite contain his temper and bursts out as soon as he picks up the call.

“Hell! Kyaraa! What’s wrong with you? Thirty missed calls for god’s sake!

“You are like mother hen, Kyaraa. You get on my nerves.”

Kyaraa cringes as soon as she hears Kai’s voice full of anger from other side and answers.

“Everyone gets on your nerves, Kai. Tell me something that I don’t know. And you are asking what is the matter with me is. What the hell is matter with you? Why didn’t you pick up my phone?”

“Kyaraa ! You know I don’t like you constantly nagging me. Even my Girlfriend doesn’t call me these many times.”

“So?”

“You are not my girlfriend, Kyaraa.”

“I know. No need to constantly remind me about that.”

“Then please stop calling me every two hours, Kyaraa. It’s suffocating. Why don’t you get it?”

“Ok! Ok! From now on I won’t call you, Kai.”

Kyaraa ends the call and starts crying. She is upset about Kai’s behavior and why he doesn’t understand? Why can’t he see how much he means to her? He just doesn’t get it.

Two years back Kai and Kyaraa met in college in their freshmen year. Bianca has introduced Kai and Kyaraa. Kai and Bianca knew each other from school days and were best friends and as their friendship grew they fell in love and were in relationship.

At first Kyaraa used to spend time with them because she didn'tknow anyone else there. But as the time passed all of their friendship started to grow and they came close. All three of them became inseparable. Wherever they went they used to be together. Kai and Kyaraa were pretty much alike. Their likes and dislikes, their views were almost same.Only few things that set them different were Kai being a guy and Kyaraa being a girl. And other thing that set them apart was that Kyaraa was way too emotional, too involved and too sensitive.

After they met and started spending time with each other Kyaraa and Kai also started to talk on call. It was different for both of them. Whenever Kai used to be with Kyaraa he used to forget her being a girl and would share everything with her. Soon their relationship grew and became best friends .

Their friendship grew strong with time. They had their ups and down but their friendship survived and came out stronger than before. Soon after that Kyaraa started to have feelings for Kai. She never wanted to come between Bianca and Kai and never intended to do anything about her feelings. But still she could not control the growing emotions and fell in love with Kai.

She tried to suppress her feelings, not letting it show but it just grew. She never wanted to be in relationship with Kai. She never wanted to jeopardize her friendship with Kai. She was conflicted and emotionally overwhelmed. She got weirder about it and soon her bond with Kai began to suffer because of her conflicting emotion. She didn't want lose her friendship with Kai but those emotions were there creating a rift between them. She was slowly losing Kai. Kai has ceased calling her. He who used to talk to her for hours almost never calls. Kai who used to crack jokes at her expense and used to tell every little bit to her remains silent now.

All this was not Kai’s fault. Kai loves Kyaraa as a friend. She means very much to him and is important part of his life. But his love for Bianca means world to him. He loves Bianca; Kai and Kyaraa can never be. Kyaraa could never have Bianca’s place in Kai’s life same way as Bianca can never have Kyaraa’s place. Both of them were bigger part of his life than anyone could imagine and he doesn’t know how to handle this situation.

Kai used to miss his Kyaraa, Fun loving, care-free, sentimental, and chubby. This was not his Kyaraa. Kai respected Kyaraa’s emotions but according to him Love should never burden you with unwanted emotions it should free you. And his love was like burden for her which was continuously eating her away.

Kyaraa gives herself a pep talk for hours and makes herself understand that Kai is not wrong in his place and she should not harass him. She decided to let it go because it’s not worth it. The matter is not worth losing Kai over it. She makes a firm decision that she won’t call Kai until and unless absolutely necessary and that Kai needs space.

Kyaraa takes her phone in hand looks at it and resists calling Kai.

*After 1 Day*

*Phone Ringing*

Kyaraa flicks a curious glance at the cell phone. She can’t see the name on the screen and thinks who could be calling at this time. She checks the phone and sees Kai’s name flashing on it. She smiles and picks up the phone.

“Hello….”

“Hello! Ms. Are you really alive?”

“Yes, Kai I am alive.”

Where have you been, Kyaraa? You were not at college today…..”

“Oh! It’s nothing was not particularly in the good mood”

“Why? Are you fine, Kyaraa?”

“I am fine, Kai. What could be possibly be wrong with me?”

“You didn’t call me today. You haven’t called me in like last 24 hours. I thought….”

“You only asked me to not to call you KaiYou said I get on your nerves.”

“Oh! Yeah look Kyaraa I was not particularly ion good mood and you kept on calling….”

“You could have said so instead of being rude”

I know, but then you would have probably hammered me for reason”

“Probably.”

Kai sighs

“Look Kyaraa I am sorry. I mean I still don’t want you to call me every two hours but I am used to your calls now just don’t cut me off all of a sudden. You can always call once or twice. I like talking to you, you are my best friend and only person I can share anything with.”

Kyaraa smiles and says “I know”

Then they talked about an hour and they hung up.

This is how it used to be between them. They used to fight and then make up. Either one of them would take the initiative or matter would get resolved. Their friendship and their bond was bigger than their so called egos.

They had a unique relationship no one would understand. They share a special bond that no one can fathom. Sometimes even they don’t understand their friendship. They just know its special. 

Today college is over they both are well on their ways But still their bond is strong. They both miss each other. They still want to be together their life is not complete without each other and they realize this fact now that they are far apart away from each other. But they don’t want anything more than being friends. Their friendship is more than enough for them it is everything to them.

Hope someday, somewhere in some other world both of them can have a life together without hills and dales.

The End
