A girl in her early 20s was standing at the corner and scrolling her phone. She smiled seeing a few pictures, her phone ranged and she picked up the call "yea.."

"Mannu, where are you? I am waiting for you" the person spoke from the other side.

"okay aati hun main" Manvi replied and ended the call.

She glanced at the hall and entered inside. There were limited guests, she wished the person "happy birthday Anjali"

Anjali hugged her tightly "thank you for coming"

Manvi stood at the corner, her eyes fell on someone. She was standing with her four friends. One of them glanced at me and said "dekh.. teri purani dost"

The person replied "mujhe nahi dekhna hai.."

Manvi thought "jab unhe hi meri zaroorat nahi toh main kyun baat karun hai na mujhse zyada zaroori log unki life mein" and went away from there.

Ahana glanced at her and sighed.. "dekha bhi aur baat nahi ki." she thought.

3 years ago

They were best friends, Ruhana was very much mature and sensible on the other hand Manvi was more immature, crazy person but with a very sensitive heart. Ahana was 4 years older to her and Manvi addressed her as Di always.

One day, they were sitting on the couch and Manvi was upset. Ahana asked "kya hua toofan?"

She replied, "uss neha ne mujhe itna bura kaha.. aise kaise kar sakti hai wo?"

"toh tujhe kyun bura lag raha hai?" she asked.

"aap nahi samjhoge.. mujhe lagta hai bura" Manvi replied with teary eyes.

"Mannu.. you have to be strong logo ka kaam hai kehna choti choti baat dil pe leke nahi baithte hai" she tried to make her understand.

Manvi turned to her and replied in anger tone"mujhe lagti hai.. isme main kuch nahi kar sakti hun.. aapki tarah ya auro ki tarah chalak nahi hun main nahi aata samajh kaun acha hai kaun bura.. jisne jo kaha maine mana.. bas yahi hai mere liye" and went inside the room.

Ahana sighed, after an hour Manvi came back and hugged her from behind "Sorry Di... uska gussa aap par nikal diya"

"it's okay.. chal khana khate hai" She said..

One day, Manvi came to Ahana's office and saw her talking to a girl. She was not liking it, feeling insecure. She was scared to lose her as she was only who was with her.

The same day, when Ahana returned home Manvi ignored her.

Ahana asked "oye? jawab kyun nhi de rahi hai? kya hua?"

"kuch nahi hua Di" Manvi replied and smiled.

After a few months, Manvi meets her old friend. She started talking to her, she ignored Ahana most of the time to be with her.

Ahana was hurt with her behaviour. She decided to move out of the house, Manvi saw her with bags. She asked "kya hua Di??"

"I think we should get separated," she said.

Manvi asked "kyun?"

"because tumhe meri zaroorat nahi hai" She said.

Manvi gave her a look and argued "aap faisla nahi le sakte ho khudse"

"lena padega mujhe.. tumhara behaviour kitna badal gaya hai.. mujhe kabse ignore kar rahi ho..... meri baat nahi maanti ho koi bhi" Ahana confronted her.

"oh.. jaise sab galti meri hai aapki nahi hai na.. aap bhi toh mujhe bhool gaye ho.. naye dost kya mile mujhe bhool gaye.." She said..

"manvi.. kuch mat kehna wo meri purani dost hai samjhi.. wo samajhti hai jo tum nahi samajhti" She shouted.

"haan sahi hai wo aapko samajhti hai.. waise bhi mujhe meri dost samajhti hai.." Manvi replied.

"tum apni galti nahi maanogi kabhi" Ahana spoke firmly.

"main toh paida hi hui hun galti karne ke liye.. aap jao" Manvi said harshly and Ahana moved out of the room.

Just a simple misunderstanding broke the 6 years old relation. Manvi was hurt, she broke down and was admitted to hospital as she could not bear the separation from her sister.

Another hand, Ahana was trying to be happy with her other friends.

Anjali informed Ahana "Manvi hospitalized hai.. meet her once baat karlo"

"she will be fine soon.. tum ho na sambhalne ke liye" Ahana replied and walked away.

Manvi was with Anjali, Manvi started feeling Neha is also ignoring her for others. She sighed deeply and moved out to a new city to start afresh but the memories never left her.

She tried to be happy but failed miserably as she was missing her best friend every day. She wanted to talk to her, but something always stopped her.

She disconnected herself, from people. She remembers, how she used to talk silly with Ahana, crack jokes. She sighed and scrolled her phone. Saw her with few friends and smiled. Tears were in her eyes when she hoped maybe she will talk to her but her hopes were shattered everything.

Meanwhile,  Ahana thought maybe Manvi would understand one day and apologize to her.

Like this 3 years passed...

Present Time

Anjali came rushing to Ahana and informed with teary eyes "Ahanu.. wo Manvi.. uska accident ho gaya"

Ahana gave her a look, and said "wo yahi hai Anjali" she saw her standing at the corner and smiling at her.

Anjali shouted "no... wo party ke liye aa rahi thi and a car hit her"

Ahana was stunned hearing it. Tears slipped down her eyes, she rushed out of the hall and started running on the road. Something came in her feet and she dropped on the floor.

She glanced and was stunned, Manvi was lying motionless on the floor. She cupped her face "mannu uth na please.. please... I am sorry please uth"

But it was too late, she was no more. Ahana saw something in her hand, she looked and it was their picture together.

There was something written behind it "DI.. I loved you so much.. and miss you too par shayad you don't need me.. I know maine bahut galtiyan ki hai par aap sambhal lete they na toh uss din bhi sambhal lete jaane ki bajaye.. par kya hum phirse shuruwat nahi kar sakte? ab kabhi pareshan nhi karungi keh diya jo kehna tha"

Ahana hugged her tightly and cried "no... sorry"

She lost her friend, it was now too late to apologize to each other and start over.

It is better to clear all the misunderstandings before it is too late.

So friends, in quarantine remove the lockdown in your relations. : D
