@OBEROI MANSION
An eight years old girl enters the house with a bag hanging on her back, from her face it’s quite clear that she is pissed off with all the happenings that probably took place in her school. She rushes into her room and banging the door hard throws her bag on the sofa.
A while later a lady enters the room and sees the mess of bag, books and few other things scattered and among all this was seated a cute little girl boiling in anger with a pouty face.
Lady: Shivi what’s all this and why are you angry?
The little girls is SHIVIKA SINGH OBEROI six years old daughter of ANIKA & SHIVAAY SINGH OBEROI.
Shivi: Mom, why do these friends even exist.
Anika/Lady: What happened Shivi why all of a sudden you are so upset and asking this question.
Shivika: Mumma you know Ria right?
Anika: Yes Shivi I know her, she is your bestie but are you angry on her?
Shivi: Yes mummy, I am angry on her. You know her dad is in army and he is getting transferred from here to Gangtok and she is also leaving that’s why I am sad and from now on our friendship will also end and everything will be over.
Anika: Why Baccha? why are you saying like this?
Shivi: Because after this we will never meet and she will go soooooooo far away from me. Everything will end. I hate this mumma. If friends have to go away then why we do friendship.
Anika: Who said to you that friendship ends with distances?
Shivi: Obvio mommy when we will be away we won’t spend time with each other and then she will forget me and will make new friends too.
Om who heard his niece complaining while entering her room says:
Juda raste hua karte hain dil nahi,
Waqt badla karta hai rishte nahi,
Armaan chuba karte hain intezaar nahi,
Khuda bhi misaal deta hai unn doston ki,
Jo dil me basa karte hain,
Ankhoon me nahi.
Both Anika & Shivika pat their head and together say: PLEASE Shayar Singh Oberoi.
Om chuckles and sits beside Shivika.
Shivika: Omi Chachu you know that I don’t understand this hi-fi Urdu philosophy of yours still you always speak it and confuse me. Now if you please, please explain it.
Om: Shivu it means that friendship is like a umm… (he picks a covered book from her bag and showing it to her continues) Friendship is like this book. Till it is covered with this lamination paper this book will not get spoiled, similar is trust if friendship is covered by the lamination of trust then nothing can ruin it.
Shivu: Not even distances?
Om nodding at her repeats: Not even distances.
But still that little soul is confused.
Anika: Okay let me tell you a story.
Shivi: No way mommy I am done with that king and queen story.
Anika: It’s not a king and queen story.
Shivi: Then not your guys love story it’s really violent.
Anika: Oh hello how come violent?
Shivi: Obvio sometimes your breaking dad’s car or sometimes bursting it into flames while on other hand sometimes papa is throwing you in pool or gets you married to himself by force.
Anika making an irritated face: Hye stop it Shivi ki bacchai.
Om: Okay guys relax and Shivu it’s story of two friends.
Shivu: And both of them fall in love, then family objects so they either try convincing their family or run away.
Om sighs: How much do you speak? Catch a breath Shivu.
Shivaay from the door who has just returned from office says sarcastically: Beti kis ki hai.
(Whose daughter is she?)
Anika making faces says: Tumhari. (Yours.)
Shivi: Cut it mommy and daady.
Shivaay: What happened why are you so angry today?
Anika explains the situation to him.
Shivaay: Umm… This seems serious.
Shivi: Of course it’s serious pa. What will I do if she forgets me. I will have no one with me everything will end.
Om: No nothing will end.
Shivi: But what is the story about.
Anika: First go and change then I will narrate it.
Shivi: Very typical of you mummy.
Anika: Chup kar typical ki baachi first go and change your uniform then the story.
Shivi sadly: You mean no change no story.
Anika firmly: Yes.
Shivi: Fine.
She goes to change stamping her feet on the floor.
Within two minutes she is back and Shivaay carries her in his arms to the dinning table.
@DINNING TABLE
Shivi: Om Chachu please start the story.
Om: Okay.
So this is story of two girls. Two girls who lived in two different states far away from each other.
Shivi: Two girls and two different state? Then how did they meet.
Anika placing food on table: That’s the specialty of their friendship that they never met.
Shivi confused: Never.
Om nods: Never.
Shivi: Then how did they become friends.
Om: Because they were destined to.
@FLASHBACK
“”Ruk gayi zindagi tham gayi sansein Kaaynaat ne jab kuchh dil do hisson me bante (breath stopped and life too when the faith divided some hearts into two parts.)””
@PAUSE
Shivi: Stop stop stop.
Anika: Now what?
Shivi: Is this your story Omi Chachu.
Rudra who had joined them says: Your Omi Chachu has long here but he is genuinely a man not a girl. (Rudy chuckles so do the rest)
Shivi nods while Om gives him a disbelieving look.
Shivi: Then.
Om continues.
@FLASHBACK PLAY
“”Ruk gayi zindagi tham gayi sansein Kaaynaat ne jab kuchh dil do hisson me bante (breath stopped and life too when the faith divided some hearts into two parts.)””
A girl reads the above line on her phone and with a satisfied yet eger look puts her mbile down and gets up from her sleeping position.
She smiles a little and then moves towards the windows and draws the curtains away from them and looks at the moonlight that’s touching her face secretly admiring her but nothing effects the girls she just straightens herself and begins enjoying the slow blowing breeze.
@GIRL’S P.O.V.
Finally my exams have ended today now I will surely make an account and tell her that how beautifully she writes.
@PAUSE
Shivi: Stop stop stop.
Anika: Now what Shivi.
Shivi: Mumma who is this girl and who is she talking about? Where is she going to create an account and whose writing is she admiring?
Mahi who was dining along with them says: Lo shuru ho gayi Choti Question Kumari.
Anika hits him on his hand and he winces dramatically.
Shivaay: Shivu the story has just started let Om tell the story to you, you will understand it as it unwinds.
Shivi nods.
Om: Ya so where were we.
Shivi: The girl decides to create an account.
Om sighs: Yup! That girl was studying and her exams ended recently but even before her exams for approximately half a year she was reading stories on an online writing platform. She had read innumerable stories but one story was there that touched her heart & soul. (Om says the word ‘heart’ touching at Shivika’s heart, while she smiles.)
The story that she admired the most and to read that story she use to crave alot and every night she use to end up eating early, complete her work and daily chores and sit in her room comfortably and then she opened her the website and she use to read stories there just two or three but one story was there that attracted her the most.
Shivi: Which story Omi Chachu.
Om: STORY OF FAITH.
That was the name of the story and it was so beautifully written that she could never stop herself from reading that story rather she craved and waited eagerly every night to read that story.
And finally after her exams she created her account on that website and the first thing she did was to message her favourite writer “SURBHI”.
Shivi: So this is how there journey started.
All nod.
Shivi: What’s up next.
Om: Then that girl started writing too.
Shivi: Wooh! That’s cool and what she wrote.
Shivaay: Our story. Umm. I mean a story on that website and she was perpetual in sending her links to her lovely writer so that she could review them.
Shivi: Then.
Om: Whenever they use to get time they use to pull off a conversation with each other and through that conversation they figured out few of their common interests and many things about each other.
Shivi: WOW that’s great such an amazing story all goes well it’s like a fairy tale friendship, no problems at all.
Gauri: Naughty chairaya how is that possible that everything goes smooth in life didn’t you hear the proverb that life isn’t bed of roses.
Shivi: But my chiraya chachi when they aren’t together they won’t fight and neither would they get irritate by each other. Simple so no fight.
Anika: Who said that people can not fight online.
Shivi: Right, pa and you can fight anywhere so online is a very small thing. If one of you is on Saturn and other on Neptune still you both will fight on silly matters.
Every body laughs while Anika and Shivaay slap her playfully.
Om: Rishta pakka waahi jisse tod na sake koi gum ki aandhi,
Dastur hai kaynaat ka jahan saath hai wanhan dard bhi.
Shivi knock him on his head and says
Shivi: Can’t you use simple words ever in your life why do you use such typical Urdu words always. And what is Kaynaat now.
Om: Nature.
Shivi: Continue…
Om smiles and continues: Days slowly began to pass and both of them came really close they exchanged there numbers and started chatting on WhatsApp.
Shivi: Wait. If they had exchanged there numbers then why didn’t they call each other.
Om: Hmm. They didn’t call because…
Rudra cuts him:
Likhne me dono ban sakte hain Gulzar,
Lakin jab karni ho baat toh kar laite hai donon aapne muh ka shutter down.
Shivi giggles while rest give him ‘iska kuch nahi ho sakta’ look.
Om: So both just chatted and didn’t talk anytime. Throughout all this time that girl had made many new friends on that website.
Shivi: So she was really interactive.
Om: Not really.
Shivi: Matlab.
Om: That was what everyone thought that she would be really interactive but the case was completely opposite in her real life she had very few friends, very few. As time started to pass one fine day it was birthday of that girl due to some really urgent work her parents had to leave that day and she was upset but she expected that her friends will definitely wish her and make her happy but only her online friends dud that.
Shivi: That means her few close friends didn’t wish her.
Om: No her best friend was in some other city for her relatives wedding and her other friend completely forgot about it but mind it her soul sisters made her day memorable they had fondly surprised her with few small yet really precious things that day she was really happy but entire day she waited for her best friends call and wishes bit no body called. And then days begin to skip and after few days when her bestie returned that girl casually asked her about school so in reply her bestie told her and that was the time when her bestie was reminded of her birthday.
@FLASHBACK
@WHATSAPP CONVERSATION
Girl’s bestie: I am sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry for forgetting your birthday.
@PAUSE
Shivi: Was she really guilty.
Om: No idea maybe.
But that girl was really upset so she decided to share her part with her Surbhi di.
@PLAY
Girl: Hi di.
Surbhi: Hi. What’s up?
Girl: Nothing. You say.
Surbhi: I am cool.
Girl: Great.
Surbhi: Any problem.
@GIRL’S P.O.V.
How can someone miles away understand me without even knowing about my feelings just by few words that I typed. How is this possible.
(But this was enough for that girl and she broke down into tears.)
Girl: Di how do you know that there is some matter.
Surbhi: Just like that.
Girl: Di can I share something.
Surbhi: Sure say what happened?
Girl: Di you know it was my birthday few days back.
Surbhi: Yup! My bro’s birthday too.
Girl: Yes di. On that very day mumma and papa had to go out for some really urgent work and you know my bestie too forgot my birthday she didn’t even wish me. But today after so many days she remembers it all of a sudden and now she is asking for apology and that too through some one else.
Surbhi: Okay calm down. Shaant ho ja.
Girl: How come di this isn’t right. You tell me what shall I do.
Surbhi: Look if you will feel disheartened and broken like this nothing will happen. You no we always keep expecting and that eventually breaks us. All friends are like this only they forget you one they are done with you.
Girl: But she was never like this. She is my bestie since I joined the school but in previous two years when we choose different fields she seems to change completely. Wait I will send her chat to you.
(She sends the chat and after reading it Surbhi calls her for the very first time.)
@ON CALL
Girl sobbing: Hi di.
Surbhi: See I knew it you would be crying relax it’s alright.
Girl: Di I am not able to understand what should I do?
Surbhi: First of all relax yourself calm down. You need to give your friend some time it’s alright sometimes things like this happen.
Girls nods while sobbing.
Surbhi: Just give yourself and her sometime talk to her sort out your matters and then do what your heart says is right.
Girl: Ya okay. Di shall I ask you something?
Surbhi: Ya.
Girl: Di you never talk to anybody on phone then today all of a sudden.
Surbhi: Are see yourself you were crying and I knew it that you would be in this condition that’s why I called you. Are you feeling better now.
Girl: Thanks di and I am feeling better now.
Surbhi: No more crying.
Girl: Ji di.
Surbhi: It feels really bad when some friend hurts?
Girl: Very bad di. But why are you asking did someone too hurt you.
Surbhi: Ya someone did but let it be I don’t want to talk about it. You should not think about the things you want to forget and need to stress yourself with stupid things.
Girl: Okay.
Surbhi: Now go and sleep and talk to your friend tomorrow and sort the things out.
Girl: Okay. Good night.
Surbhi: Good night & take care.
@END OF CALL
@PAUSE
Shivi in a sad tone: How did Surbhi di get to know what was going on with that girl.
Anika: Friendship connection.
Shivi smiles: What next? Did that girl break her friendship with her friend.
Shivaay: No after thinking alot and confronting her friend she decided to forgive her friend.
Shivi: What did Surbhi di say about that?
Anika: Nothing.
Shivi: Why?
Anika: Because the matter was over so it would be useless to talk about it.
Shiv: Hmm.
Om: So next…
Shivi cuts him: Wait… Wait… Wait… What about the rest of the friends that girl had made on that website.
Rudra: Good question.
Shivi: So answer it as well.
Bhavya: They all had made a group on WhatsApp named “MAD HOUSE” (Shivi laughs and says Mad house.) Ya and the name completely suited their behaviour. When ever they use to come along they use to do all the stupid stuff possible. From playing weird games, to making fun of each other and sorting each others problems to sharing their life experiences, celebrating occasions and knowing about each other’s culture. They did almost everything together.
Shivi: Wooh! That’s cool so in total how many people were they.
Rudra counting on his hands: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17.
Total 17 including that girl.
Shivi: Who all?
Bhavya: Ayath, Bhavisha, Chandani, Mrunal, Dheemahee
Anika: Sahana, Samm, Surbhi, Saku, Khushi
Gauri: Kehkasha, Puvi, Goms, Janvi, Pooja, Lalitha
Boys: And that girl.
Shivi: So many. God! Okay continue with story.
Om: Then…
Shivi again cuts him: Wait… wait… wait…
Everybody sighed listening to the high level of curiosity filled in the little girl.
Om: Say.
Shivi: I understood everything but didn’t get one thing.
Shivaay: Which thing Shivi?
Shivi: How did they celebrate together especially each other’s birthday. What can anybody do online? And wat impact did that birthday incident leave on that girl?
Om: That girl she decided that whatever may happen but she will forget that incident as Surbhi said that digging the past grave only hurts and thinking about that will just make her feel bad and nothing else. Moreover, though two of them were two different people, poles apart yet they had many things in common.
Shivi: Like.
Om: Both were bad at talking face to face but good at talking online, both had same frustrations from life although the way they take life was very different. For Surbhi life was confusion and so was for that girl. But there opinion on life and the way they lived was different. Both had the worst habit of keeping their inner turmoil upto themselves, both loved to be humorous and comic but anger was a danger point for both.
It’s said that in love opposites attract but in friendship birds same feather flock together.
Being in this journey of their life one thing that girl cherished the most was their togetherness and she was glad that she has found so many sisters. Every relation isn’t made for everyone but we often find few relations in our life that complete us and the relation of these soul sisters was same and that relation completed that girl.
After few months when almost all of them were free they came together on a mission.
Shivi: Mission. Which mission?
Anika: MISSION SURBHI’S BIRTHDAY PLANNING.
Shivi: WOW. How?
All giggled at the way she rhymed the words.

Shivi: Right pops.
Shivaay: Pops???
Shivi: Yes. Now where are Bhavi di and Khushi di?
Rudra: They are busy solving there life.
Shivi: But how are they? I mean by nature.
Bhavya: Bhavi is helpful, sweet, mature but quite pissed of with life.
Khushi is happy go lucky girl, loves everything that’s around her she is magical like others.
Shivi: Great. Now what?
Anika: Now good night to everyone.
Shivi standing up and jumping: No.. No… No… Not now what I want to know what happened next. Please mummy.
Anika: Next they decided what they have to do.
Shivi: Okay so next.
Anika: Nothing next come on let’s go to sleep.
Shivi looked helplessly at ShivOmRu who were about to protest but on reviving one glare from Anika the shushed themselves and gave a helpless look to Shiv.
Shivi sadly: Okay one last question then I will go.
Anika: Fast.
Shivi: What is definition of friendship?
Especially according to that girl.
@PLAY
Girl is walking on her terrace enjoying cool breeze.
@GIRL’S P.O.V.
If somebody asks me what is friendship, then I believe it’s a journey of nothing being everything.
Nothing because the friendship I share with my mad house, there are no expectations in it, no wishes absolutely nothing accept some time that we all want from each other.
Once we meant nothing to each other but now as we mean everything to each other. As if all of us have made a special place in each others heart we are inseparable although I know we will never meet each other but that’s the best part of our friendship. Every relation has something that makes it strong and in our relation that something is this distance which keeps us apart yet too damn close. I am just afraid that if we meet one day we may not turn to strangers as we are far more different then we actually seem.
As far as Surbhi di is concerned I just want to see her happy at her birthday, I wish even if I am so far away from her I can make her feel happy, her one smile will be enough for me.
After all,
Jab Zindagi ke kehr me ek mehak mil jaati hai,
Shabdoon ke kechaad me ek Kamal khil jata hai,
Davaon ke saudaagar ke maan me dua ghul jaati hai,
Aksar zubaa par dost ka naam aa jata hai.
@END OF P.O.V.
@STOP
@NIGHT
@SHIVAAY & ANIKA’S ROOM
Both Shivaay and Anika are sleeping at two sides while Shivi is sleeping between them actually she isn’t sleeping she is wide awake and the clock strikes 12:00.
Shivi pulls her mother to wake up.
Anika in sleepy tone: Now what happened Shivi, sleep Baccha please you have to go to school tomorrow.
Shivaay: Why are you two doing jagrata at this time of night.
Shivi: Papa please. Mummy what’s the date today.
Anika looks in her phone and says: 5th July.
Shivi: What today is Surbhi di’s birthday.
By now Shivaay was half awake and Anika was fully awake.
Anika: What?
Ya today is Surbhi’s birthday.
She gets up from her bed and says: I will be right back.
Shivaay: Okay.
Shivi: WOW so today is her birthday. I mean on this day today they would have celebrated her birthday right.
Shivaay: Yes.
Shivi: So would they be doing the same even today.
Shivaay: May be, I don’t know. If they would be together then definitely yes.
Shivi: Great.
Shivaay: Btw Shivu what are you planning to say to Ria tomorrow.
Shivi while changing her side: Papa before going to school tomorrow we will go to shop.
Shivaay: Why?
Shivi: Because I want to buy chocolates and a diary for Ria. So that I can see her off happily.
Shivaay: But you were upset from here if I am not wrong.
Shivi: Papa, distance can never separate us.
Shivaay ruffling her head: They will never do.
Shivi smiles and kissing his cheek says: I love you guys.
Shivaay kissing her back: We all love you too.
Saying so Shivi doses off and Anika comes back with a jar of water and placing it on the table sees her mobile and dosses off next to her daughter.

**SORRY IF I BECOME TOO EMOTIONAL.**
AUTHOR’S NOTE TO ALL THE READERS:
Hi guys after a long time I have penned down an O.S. This is about friendship and in my case the website mentioned above is T.U. and all my friends are from T.U. To.
This maybe the case with many of you here as many of us met here on T.U and many of ours story of friendship has been pulled off from this platform only. Maybe we all have our part of story just the way I have and memories are not always happy few are bitter also but friends do make through it.

@SURBHI DI
Di firstly I am sorry if by any chance I have ever hurt you. The time since when I know you, was when you use to write for KKB page one of the best stories ever “STORY OF FAITH” according to me you redefined the meaning of the word faith that story will remain itched to my memory forever. Soon after that you wrote ‘GAME OF DESTINY’ marking another milestone in your writing and after that came the last season of ‘STORY OF FAITH’ adding another feather to your cap. Your journey throughout has been phenomenon, with every chapter I have loved your work more and more. I know you always want world to appreciate your work and not to judge you by your attitude. In my case I have fallen head over heals for your work and then for you. I have learnt many things from you till date and you have stood by me in many ups and downs (I need not to mention them as I am sure you would remember.)
Your way of writing and the bindass person in you has made me your fan and I am sure many people love you for your work. My journey of writing started quite a few months ago but you have always been my inspiration di.
Thank you for every single thing you have done for me because your mere presence make alot of difference to me.
I love you di.
