Love or friendship. Ep. 1

Hi guys, I’m Sah Alam. This is my first ff. In my story, I have shown Sanchi as a studious girl but with a fun and romantic side. This story is about love, friendship and heart break. I hope you guys have as much fun reading it as I had while writing it. Peace out.

Her heart beated so loud that it could be heard as Sanchi waited. She was waiting for Veer. It was everyday story when Sanchi waited outside the school to talk to Veer. But today was special, Veer would propose Sanchi. She knew it. She knew it as Veer called last night and said, “I need to tell you something important tomorrow. ”

Sanchi was ready to say yes.
“Maintain your cool and don’t show him that you have fallen more than him, ok? ” Pragya had said when Sanchi told her about Veer’s call.
Veer finally arrived.
“Hi, ” he said.
“Hi, ” she said, “so what important thing you wanted to tell me. ”
“Huh, “he said, “I was hoping you wouldn’t straight jump to that. ”
“Why? What’s wrong, ” she asked.
“No, nothing, “he said, “it’s just thakbo don’t know how to say it. ”
“Just say it, ” Sanchi was clearly impatient to hear the magical words.
“So here is this girl I really like, ” Veer started, “and I dont know how to say it to her. ”
“Really? “He said, “you think she would say yes. ”
“Only a stupid girl would say know to you, “she said.
“Ok so I should tell it to her, “he said.
“Yes, ” Sanchi closed her eyes and waited to hear the words.
“Actually, “he said, “you know what, I was thinking if you could tell it to her. ”
“Wait, what? “Sanchi was confused, “who are you talking about? ”
“Pragya, of course,” he said, “who did you think. ”
“I thought it was…….. it was, leave it, “she said.
“So, are you gonna tell her? “He asked.
“Yes, “she said putting a brick on her heart, “but I cannot promise anything.”
“Fine, “he said, “but I have complete faith in you that you would never fail me.”
However, suppressing her tears, she walked into the school then Sanchi rang the bell. Pragya’s mother opened the doors
“Hi, beta, how are you? ” Pragya’s mother asked.
“Fine aunty, is Pragya home? “Sanchi asked.
“Yes, come in, ” Pragya’s mother said gesturing her to come in.

“Just wanted to check on her, ” Sanchi said, “didn’t see her in school today. ”
“Oh, “Pragya’s mother said, “she is preparing for boards. Tough exam you know. ”
“Yes, I know aunty cause I’ll be giving the exam with her, “Sanchi said with sarcasm in her voice.
“Haha, very funny, “Pragya’s mother laughed, “good joke. Go Pragya must be in her room. ”
Not understanding how it was funny, Sanchi walked into Pragya’s room. As the door opened, sound of rock music filled the room. Sanchi closed the door behind her. The room was full of posters of movie stars and magazines.
Unable to find any sign of Pragya Sanchi sat on the bed. She smelled something, it was smoke. Form where was smoke coming.
“Is that you, Pragya? ” Sanchi asked, “are you smoking again, ”
“Yup, “a voice cam from under the blanket.
Sanchi jumped out of the bed out of surprise. Slowly, from under the blanket came out Pragya.
“Hey, what’s up?” Pragya asked.
“You promised you would never smoke again. ”
Right, I’ll never smoke again. ”
“Pragya! It doesn’t work like that. ”
‘I know it doesn’t, “Pragya said, “but it should. Anyway I smoked 2 minutes ago I dont know why the smoke didn’t go. ”
“You know the door was open right, aunty could come inside any time. ”
“No she wouldn’t, “Pragya said, “she’d never disturb her child when she is studying. ”
“Yeah right, “Sanchi said.
“Leave all that, “Pragya said, “you say how did it go with Veer. ”
The tear which Sanchi had been holding in all day came out.
“Hey, are you crying? ” Pragya asked, “what happened? ”
“He doesn’t like me, “Sanchi said
“Did he say that to you? “Pragya asked. “No, ” Sanchi said.
“Then? “Pragya asked.
“He said he likes you, “Sanchi started crying harder.
“What!!! “Pragya was shocked.
“Yes, “Pragya started crying extremely loud.

After half an hour.

“Can you stop this now, “Pragya said, “you have been crying for like an hour. ”
“I have been here for only forty five minutes, “Sanchi said still crying.
“Sorry, my mistake, “Pragya patted sanchi’s back, “it’s fine. He’s just a guy. Forget about him. ”
“I can’t, “Sanchi said, “he was my soul mate. ”
“Sanchi, can you chill, “Pragya said, “we are just seventeen. And anyway, there are so many better guys waiting out there for us. ”
“Its easy for you to say, “Sanchi said, “when all the guys are dying to date you. ”
“Not all guys, that guy who sits on the last bench of the third row, what’s his name, umm…. Ritesh, he doesn’t like me. ”
“Seriously Pragya you are not helping, “Sanchi said. She wasn’t crying anymore.
“Sorry sorry but it’s not like you haven’t dated anyone before.”
“Yeah, just one and he turned out to be mentally ill. ”
“So? It is still a–”
A phone ring interrupted Pragya. It was sanchi’s phone. Veer was calling.
