Days and summer project were moving with jet speed ! Each day there was a nice learning for all of them.. Office politics, behaviour tactics were also learnt in those days by all of them… Bookworms were finding it difficult to adjust to the real world, but any how all were adjusting to the situations!!
It was mid of the month May and project was almost at half… One day during the lunch break while talking with Nishant, Amol mentioned, “Yaar, anagha ne jo bola tha wo analysis method was superb na! I really wonder even if she has not taken marketing she proves to be the best than all of us yaar!”
Nishant smiled looked at him and said “Aamya (pet name used by nishant) when r u going to speak to her???”
“Whattt? Yesterday only we spoke!” Amol shouted!
“Don’t joke okey?? I am talking about the new thing, that you miss her.. you like her ! Bass yar.. kitne din apne aap ko aise fasata rahega and even hume fasayega?? I don’t want ki mere dost ke sath aisa ho ki , kaashh, tune ek baar use bola hota how you feel about her….” Nishant said
Amol just looked at Nishant with wide open eyes…
“Basss kaay nishya?? Sakalpasun kuni bhetla nahi ka tula?? Jev na gapchup” Amol tried to skip the topic by laughing loudly.
Nishant still continued “Do you know each time when we are travelling, how many times in a day you take her name?? Look at the phone expecting her call or msg.. kya ho raha hai boss??? Tu agar itni praise uski karta raha na.. to tell you, maybe I will start liking her….” Nishant conveyed with frustration and with a little tont..
“Nishant just keep your ideas with you only okeyy.. Don’t spoil my mind and not my friendship... she is my very good friend par jaise tum log soch rahe ho waisa kuch nahi hai... Summers started and I have not seen her face also… You know, its almost one month, all I know is she is working in some CA firm at andheri, aise koi pyar nahi hota okey.. This is all nonsense! ” Amol was talking with raised voice.
“Aur tujhe pata to hai na…” Amol Continued!! “She is a very good girl yar.. she deserves more nice boy than me…. Someone who can deeply care for her.”
“Ohhh to inferiority complex hai tujhe…” Nishant said.
“No Nishant… that was just a comment.. moral of the story is I won’t gel-up with her… she is not my type okey…She is independent… has her own thinking and she can argue with me for that.. Moreover, make me realise that she is right always… won’t be able to live like this yaar”
“Amol…. I will still suggest you, she is the best person only with whom you will be happy … she is a self-made girl… and about argument, it’s always nice if u get defeated by a person who knows you best and loves you rather than the outsiders… She is a person who doesn’t allow strangers to enter in her world easily and she is the best for those few whom she has given the rights. This quality is very rare now a days yar.. ”
“Amol…. I can see that, you both are just lost when you speak to each other… kiti khush asta tumhi doghe.. aani tumhala baghun aamhi kiti khush hoto te tula nahi mahit… you have not seen the care in her eyes… No need for someone to tell me and I won’t listen anyones advice yaar… mala je bolayche hote te bollo mi… its matter of your life buddy!! May be she is also waiting for you to speak.. If you asks she would definitely say what is in her mind… I am hundred per cent sure… even if something there from her side, she won’t tell anything to u till the end, ya muli ashach astat.. They won’t share anything unless you start… you have to take a stand now!!”
Nishant was trying the best as he could just to see his friend happy again and he was not wrong also… There was something by which friends used to like them together and the innocent relation… Some trigger was needed just…
Amols mind was completely lost in the speech by Nishant…. He also started thinking if he was right?
-----------------------------------------------------
Somewhere in Andheri, around 2.00pm (at almost the same time)
It was lunch time and anagha was taking lunch with her other summer trainee friend.. After some general talk, He (vedant) suddenly told anagha about his friend, “She fights with me for no reason yaar! I know how to do stuff but is it necessary for her to tell this again and again, do this, not this.. I am just troubled with this…” Vedant was complaining about his girlfriend.
“Vedant.. This happens in any relation, the fights are the reasons for you to connect, have you ever tried convincing her after the fights talking the first step… Girls generally like to make you perfect, that’s y they fight… Just know that even they have lived their life in a certain way.. so how can they suddenly adjust with the way you live, which the jokes you like, with the tv shows u like… these small things turns in fights and we feel, it’s the end,, frankly speaking there is a need to share… Share what you feel.. do let her know how much you like her… not indirectly, just simple straight words… I feel that will solve all the problems… She is also busy solving her own worries right… so how can she instantly connect to your feelings your mood?? Vedant.. It’s just simple.. Call and speak to her…”
“Actually anagha, I have not told her yet how much I like her”
With a shocked face, anagha reacted, “Vedant, then you have no right to complain about her man… She treats you like her best friend.. she is completely as she is with you!! What’s making you stop tell her! Once u have to tell yar”
“I am afraid, what will be her ans, she may reject… ”
“Well in that case, Vedant, I can just say, take some time and think but I definitely feel that, once at least you should let her know about your feelings… if she is of our age and having good education front she will surely understand when you say it clearly.. Most important is the burden won’t be there on your heart… You both will respect the feeling… whatever may be the end of the relation… Give it a respectful space… as I have judged the possessiveness you have for her means u really like her a lot!”
“Anagha … it feels really light talking to you… yes, I would definitely think on it…”
“Your boyfriend is a really lucky boy anagha” She smiled through her spectacles…
“I don’t have a boyfriend vedant” They smiled and returned back to their work staion…
As she saw her cell, there were 5 missed calls from amol, as usual brain started thinking about amol, and whose friendship she used to feel is like a treasure worth keeping forever!
She wrote in her diary,, “How can I give advice to people, after all its their life ! Amol…. My best friend… I do like him, he is really worth, I am sure no girl in college would be left till now who must not have thought about him once… but is it really love or its just feeling of being with each other which will get over after college…. And if something like this would have been there, we would have definitely shared it.. at least amol would have said something to me if something would have been there… I don’t think there is such feeling... Oh god! What am I writing! what have happened to you anagha,,, you r writing about a boy,, its not normal.. Get back to work soon…but surely his presence is like a blessing from god.. Its just a safe feeling that when he is there nothing bad will happen.. but after all its not just about me … I have to respect his feelings also .. maybe if he might be having any other girl in his life then.. I have to control on myself.. I should not think all these things at these stage and spoil our friendship..”
It was amols message, “Call me when free, need help related to the summer proj final report. t.c.”
That tc. at the end made her smile again.. Words when comes from special people, brings sheer happiness..
True friends actually can see beyond the things which we can see! Friends accept us as we are and that’s why they shout, slap when they care, they want to see you happy! In these cases not the fights or loud voice matter, the message which they want to convey is most important.. They shout because they care for you, after your parents! These selfless relations are born to make you able to strive in this world. Nishant was such heart for Amol. Amol also knew even if he leave the whole world and go anywhere he won’t leave Nishant!
Nishant today had performed the duty of his friendship honestly!
