*Sara pov*

“Do you remember Rishi?” She asked.

“Ofcourse I remember him. How can I forget that because of him we had our first fight and that to a little big one. But what does he have to do with any of this?” I asked.

“Trust me he is totally connected to all this even though not directly. But what do you remember about our fight?” She asked me.

I tried to think of everything that happened that day and say it to her.

*Flashback*

One day when I was working on my assignment at night I got a call from Maggy.

“Hey Maggy.”

“Hey Sara. I want to talk to you about something.”

“Ya sure go on.”

“Do you know Rishi?” she asked.

“Which Rishi?”

“Your classmate Rishi yaar.”

Oh that player, “Ya I know why?”

“Because today he said that he like me and asked me out. Is he a good guy? I mean he is attractive but I am feeling little nervous.” She said.

“Maggy please listen to me carefully. He is not a good person. He is big player. Stay away from him.”

“But maybe he genuinely likes me and will change for me. Who knows right.”

“I know Maggy people can change but trust me he will not maybe in future but not now with his careless behavior.”

“You can’t just say that Sara. You don’t know everything about every person.” She said a little pissed.

I want to stop from saying anything but she is my best friend I can’t let her get hurt. So I said “Listen Maggy I can understand that you have a crush on him but please don’t let it get strong. He is really not a good partner.”

I want to tell her the reason because of which I am sure but she will be devastated if she hears that so I kept quiet.

“Just stop it Sara I supported your crush even though he is my brother, so why can’t you just do the same for me. Who knows may be Rishi and my brother is the same. Like they both are popular so maybe they both are players and only play with girl’s hearts like you said about Rishi.” She said shouting at me.

Now I am completely pissed “Don’t you dare say something like that about Ashwin. With the little I know about him I can say easily that he is good guy and mine is just not a crush I like him ok. I am just trying to save you from getting hurt so don’t bring your brother in middle of all this.”

“Just don’t talk to me Sara like ever.” She said hanging up the phone.

What was that!! Just like that she ended it but I too can’t be irrational. She is just angry so that’s why she said it. Tomorrow there is no college so I will clear all this.

Next day I went to her house and asked her parents to not say to her that I am here.

I quickly prepared her favorite chocolate cake and wrote ‘sorry’ on it with a sad smiley face.

I took it carefully towards her room and knocked on the door.

“Come in.”

I opened the door, and went near her as she was under the quilt I cleared my throat.

She suddenly got up not believing that I am here. I placed the cake in her hands.

Looking at it and me again doing it she took the knife from me and cut a piece of the cake.

I thought she was going to eat but she put it near my mouth.

“I am sorry.” We both said at the same time.

“I know Maggy yesterday was not my place but listen to me ok. I was sure that he is not a good for you because I saw him making out with another girl yesterday in our classroom yesterday. Now tell me if he really likes you would he do that.” I said to her holding her hand.

“I am so sorry Sara I didn’t understand your concern for me yesterday. I said too much to you. Please forgive me Sara. And you are wrong about one thing that ‘it is not your place’ because you have every right to look out for me.”

“Hey let’s just forget it. What’s done is done right.” I said.

She nodded but I felt like she is hiding something but I brushed it off and hugged her.

*Maggy Pov*

“Yes Sara that’s what happened exactly that day but there is more to that which you don’t know.” I said to her nervously.

“What do you mean?” She asked confused.

“That day after I ended your call..”

*Flashback*

How can she just say that about Rishi? She should have accepted that she maybe is wrong. But no!!

And she shouted at me when I talked bad about Bhai. Is he more important than our friendship and me.

Is she just like my older friends who are with me only for my brother?

No she is not like th…

“Hey Megs, do you want some ice cream?” My brother asked me entering into my room but looking at ice cream but me.

“No Bhai.”

Hearing my voice he looked at me and asked “Why are you crying Megs? What happened?”

“Nothing …just got in fight with Sara.”

“Oh! Don’t cry. She is a good friend. You guys will be together again in no time.”

Hearing this I was shocked, I mean he always says about each friend of mine that they are not good or anything. But about Sara he is so good to her.

“Bhai do you like Sara?”

He was shocked but he said “No I am not saying like that. I am just saying that she have a good heart and she wouldn’t let you cry like this. I can tell that by spending that little time with her every day. And you spend with her for so much time so you should also know that right.”

“But I am getting doubts about her bhai.”

“What do you mean?”

“Maybe she is also with me only for you. So that you will like her or something.” Shut!! How can I say this about her that too to the person she like.

I need to say to him that I was just talking silly. But before I could say anything my mom called him and he left giving me my ice cream.

I will just talk to him tomorrow. I am so sorry Sara I just let my anger blind me. Even if you try I know you can never use someone like that.

Next day after we hugged I wanted to say to her that I thought about her like that for few seconds. But stopped myself as I got feared that we may just get into another fight and I don’t want to fight with you like ever.

“That’s what happened Sara. You were actually trying to look out for me but I just let my past experience and insecurity cloud my mind and thought about some rubbish. I am so sorry.”

“So you are saying that you thought about me like that when it has been only one year after we became friends. After that you never thought like that.”

“No Sara I never thought like that. At that time too was just for a few seconds but my bad luck is that my brother was there near me when that stupid thing entered my mind. After that I wanted to tell you about that but stopped myself every time thinking that you will just hate me.”

“God!! I am so stupid. Because of my stupidity we both were hurt for these years.” She said crying.

I couldn’t help myself but I cried too with her and said “No Sara you are not stupid. The way you heard about it is not a good one and I too would have reacted in the same way. I wish I should have tried hard to explain to you.”

“No you are not completely blamable. I never gave a chance for you to explain. And that last one year I tried my best to not let you talk to me at all. If I was little less stubborn we wouldn’t have to go through this.” She said hugging me.

“If I was little more stubborn we wouldn’t have to go through this too.” I said to her hugging.

With that we both burst out laughing. When we controlled ourselves she said “I missed you so much Maggy.”

“I too missed you Sara. Next time if we got in any fight we will just scold each other and let it go.” I said.

“Let’s just forget it. Come on it’s late and I am tired let’s go to sleep.” She said.

I was about to leave but she said “Sleep here no need to go again to your room.”

I nodded but I remembered something so I said “I know you asked me to not talk about him so I am just saying one thing, Please let him explain. In your guys case there is even more misunderstanding than we had.”

“Do you mean I will feel stupid again?”

“Maybe but I am not asking you to do it now just after some time.”

She smiled and said “I need time. Now come on Bhabi time for our beauty sleep.” Teasingly.

I laughed at that and we both let sleep consume us and for the first time I slept feeling content and not missing anything.
