Tu mera ‘Nutella’ hai!

     Friendship….A relation so pure and a relation so pious….Well, here is the story I would like to share with you all.

     ‘Friends?’ A smile wrapped her lips while she extended her hand to him.

      ‘Yes sure. Why not?’ he replied.

And this was how everything started. A bond that makes us feel guaranteed, a bond that grows with each passing day, a bond that is far behind those tales and sagas, a bond which is sometimes too salty and sometimes too sweet, a bond where no explanations are required, a bond that has only two pure hearts seeking happiness, a bond that is free from advices and restrictions, a bond where you treasure not only your happiness but also anxieties….Yes, it’s a bond called ‘Friendship’, where one can walk even in the darkness holding other’s hand….

             Well, people say “A girl and a boy cannot be just friends”, but this so-called-societal-tag was simply useless for Aashi and Yuvi. Just because someone had seen them together, doesn’t mean they are love birds. Can’t a boy and a girl be best friends for each other? Is this bond only needs to seen through a rose colored perspective? Why to always think about the people who have no issues just to peep in other’s lives and say flushy stuffs for all?? This society always has problems with the well-being of two individuals who care for each other. People before poking at someone’s lives, it is you who should take a walk through your past deeds. At least we don’t flirt around to date multiples. Yes, there can be many of us who does this, but that doesn’t mean we are one of them. So, better be aware before you poke in different shades, you yourself should be well versed with the color that you carry…..

      Aashi, the prettiest girl doing her masters and Yuvi, he was a cool dude seeking job in MNC. What went wrong in their relation was that people took them wrong and this indeed was the reason of ending the ‘ sweet bond’ which they had……

                ‘Aashi, Aashi, sun na please’ A restless Yuvi followed her as she went downstairs in her very aggressive mood.

               ‘Tu jaa yaha se. I don’t want to listen anything’, she started crying. And this was something Yuvi didn’t wanted. Because it was Aashi who taught him to smile, to see the sunrise and to see everything with peace and calmness.

              ‘ Nutella, yaar please sun na’, Yuvi said running behind her. 

Nutella was something, he use to call her because she was as sweet that Nutella melted sweet chocolate. And saying this, her anger immediately melted in seconds and she made a puppy face at him.

               ‘Chal na, let’s talk’ Yuvi uttered in innocence. She stopped and both of them went to the sip the coffee which was ordered. Yuvi knew the flood in Aashi’s eyes would turn to a Tsunami, if he wouldn’t stop her. So, he quietly sat on the chair and made Aashi to drink the coffee. She was now calm for few minutes and then Yuvi in his relaxed state too started sipping the coffee.

‘I hate you Yuvi. I really hate you’ she sniffed.

‘Ab maine kya kiyaa yaar?’ he asked in the puzzled manner.

‘Tuzhe yaad nahi tha na mera birthday?  Tu bhul gaya thaa na?’ she hit him hard with her angry look.

‘Nahi na re. I wanted to surprise you today. So, isiliye didn’t wish you’ he in his casual look.

‘ Haa na? So, tell me where is my surprise?’ she grew stronger.

‘Ahhhh…woh? It must be somewhere here’ he muted chewing his lips.

‘Shutup Yuvi. Tu bhool gaya tha. And by the way, mera birthday aaj nahi  kal tha’ she in her aggressive notion.

‘Ha wahi toh! I was thinking only this that why ain’t you looking fresh today’ he replied teasing her.

‘Urghhhhh….bus ab bohot hua. I am really angry this time. I am leaving, sadte rah akele, bye’ she pulled her bag and started leaving.

‘Oh Ma, sunn na please. Sun na please. Accha yeh le tera gift. And sorry yaar, insaan se hi galti hoti hai na. Next time pakka tuzhe tere birthday ke din hi wish karunga. I am sorry’ he held his ears and apologized her for his mistake.

Looking at the gift, her anger melted in seconds and  her cute puppy face was back to normal ‘Awww…thank you for this Yuvi. It’s okay! I forgive you. Par next time se aissa kiyya na, then see what I’ll do’ she giggled brightly.

‘Chale ab Nutella? We are getting late’ he asked her and she pinched him saying ‘Chal. And coffee ka bill tu pay karega. After all tu mera birthday bhul gaya’…..

Because we all have that one special friend with whom we cannot frame the word ‘LOVE’. It’s really far above this…This is that relation, when one is anger while the other is ready to melt the anger in seconds. Friendship is that sweetest Nutella which can melt even those rigid mentalities in seconds. Friendship cannot be defined in one shade; it has many shades which cannot be worn in a single day. So, why to destroy it only for the sake of those stupid mentalities who cannot understand you? Leave those who cannot understand what your relation is all about…Just giving your space and time will make the things free. Have patience and simply lead on because such friends are hard to find!

PS: Boys do always forget birthdays!! Cheers!!
