The letter

"Why don't you understand Debs??she is not good for you.I know her,she is not serious about this relationship,she did the same thing in the past.Trust me,She will betray you and leave you heartbroken,crying." "Who the hell do you think you are Aastha??you are just jealous , nothing else, and that is the only reason you are passing your psychotic judgements about her.I know she loves me and I don't want YOU to interfere in my life and my decisions.Who are you to tell me what is wrong and whats right for me??Just get lost." "You know what Deb,you deserve to be betrayed.You are such a fool who fail to care about those who genuinely care about you.Guess what Deb?I am done with your friendship,or should I say,FAKE friendship.You were right.Who am I to interfere in your life.Go to hell.",Aastha screamed at Debashish,She threw her cell in disgust.Anyone could guess that she was concerned about her friend more than anyone else.
     Aastha banged the door of her room in fury and rested herself on the chair.She was furious and still was in disbelief that her best friend Debashish said those harsh words.She took out the pen and paper and started scribbling slang about Deb.Tear drops fell upon the paper."I am strong.I am not crying.Why should I cry for that jerk??I am not crying.Why these tears don't stop??",Aastha sobbed over her broken friendship.She was sure that Deb won't come and apologize about what he did.She decided to write a final note to Deb.

Dear Deb,

   I don't want to use Dear anymore before your name.Aise koi gussa hota hai kya apne best friend se??You may term me as emotional fool that in the age of whatsapp I am writing a note to you.But I don't care.You don't want me to interfere in your life,okay,I won't.But I will answer your question about who am I to suggest you what is wrong and what is right for you? Deb,I am the one who used to complete your assignments when you use to bunk the class,I am the one who stood with you even when you were wrong and others were right,I am the one Deb,who never failed to messaged you and ask you about your whereabouts when you were away.I don't remember the last time you were feeling down or lonely after I befriended you.I cared about you because I loved you.But yes,these things and these words won't matter you anymore because you are in the false impression that she loves you.I never speak a word until I have proof about it,and this i don't need to explain because you know me very well.Your girlfriend was ex-roommate of mine and I know her and her concept about relationship and love very well .I could have said you this before, but you were not in state of mind to hear even a single word  uttered by me.Anyway,you were right,its your life,your choice.Deb,can't you see,why am I trying hard to prevent you from getting hurt? Do I really need to explain this to you?I might sound like some cheap daily soap vamp who comes in the way of two true lovers :p.LOL.But I am not.Its just that I don't want my best friend to undergo the pain and that too knowingly.I love you Deb,you belong with me and.... (Wait,What am I doing??Am I out of my mind.'Love you Deb??'No way.I too have some self respect.why should I be the one who initiate patch up.And after he yelled upon me.I can't do this.And at this point of time I will be fool to display my emotions and love to this jar head.).And the letter went into trash. After an year or something of speechlessness between Debashish and Aastha.

Dear Aastha,

       I don't want to use Dear anymore before your name.Aise koi gussa hota hai kya apne best friend se?? I might seem to you foolish that in the age of whatsapp I am writing a note to you.After reading this,you will term me as emotional fool.But I don't care.It is like one year and you are still acting like a perfect stranger.I know you must have sobbed bitterly after what I said.You must have scribbled some really bad hindi slang for me .I didn't had any courage to show up and apologize you after what I did.I miss my cute Aastha .I agree that i was kind of egoistic and didn't bother to come and apologize.I took you,your care and your friendship for granted.  Its bit late,but I am sorry Aastha.
             
         Don't you remember our friendship??I use to completely depend on you for assignments when I bunked.You were the one who were with me every time, even when i was wrong and others were right.Your daily messages wishing me 'good morning' made my day.I don't remember the time when i was down or lonely when you were by my side.But now that you are away there is no one to hold my hand and console me.There is no one around who will wipe my tears.Yes Aastha,you were right about that girl.She betrayed me and left me in tears.I was fool not to realize your care and affection for me.But now that you are away,every moment I feel that I am nothing without you.Yes Aastha,I love you.I didn't see how hard you tried to save me from the pain of breakup.But the fact that you are not with me hurts me even more.Your simplicity,your innocence and your straightforwardness,every bit of yours made me fall in love with you.But I was afraid that you will mistake me as a flirt and break our friendship . We are out of our college  and its been so long that I haven't seen your face.I want to make up with you.I wish I didn't act like a jerk then.But still I have time to say you that I love you.I want to be with you for my entire life.Yes Aastha I love you and I want to marry....
(Door bell rings.Damn it I hate this disturbance.Who 's there??Postman??and what is it??Marriage invitation.Aastha weds Utkarsh.WHAAAAAAAATTT??).And the letter goes into trash.

Moral:Its better to mend your broken relationships as early as possible,otherwise you will be left with bitter awkwardness.
