Geet (sadly): I'm missing you and Taylor so much. I felt sooo lonely today.
Maan (sadly): me too Sweetu!
Both talked for a while and geet slept off….rather sadly after wishing him a good night!!!

"A BEST/TRULY CARING FRIEND IS THE ONE WHO KNOWS YOU ARE CRYING AND FINDS YOUR TEARS EVEN WHILE YOU ARE WALKING IN THE RAIN"
Well this is just a saying for most of us…..but this is what Sweetu believed…..this is what Sweetu trusted and this is what Sweetu worshipped.
Her and MK's bond ……it was something like a Fairytle…oops I mean fairy…tail to her….she worshipped it like a god…..she considered it as sacred as they holy bible or the hole Mahabharata or the Holy Quran!
Its been around 8 months since she has moved to India….she has settled very well……she had adjusted herself to the surrounding, to the people with great excellency……she got a very new set of friends too. But still……still MK was her best friend…..and no one else.
Maan, in the initial days after seweetu's departure, lived a very solitary life….sans friends….sans a best friend! He missed her being around him badly…..he missed her during lunch breaks…..he missed her during swimming classes….how she'd come crying to him whenever she got stuck in the tube……he missed her sweet innocent bak bak….he missed her playing piano….he missed her kissey wissey……he missed her chubbiness….and God knows what not!
Whenever he felt lonely, he'd walk into his room and stare at the gift Sweetu had given him……he'd hear the cuppy cake audio hundreds of times…..but one thing he did not understand was why she gifted him an audio tape? Rather she could have gifted him a recorded video of her playing the song!!! Nevertheless…..he missed going to the Handa house…which seemed more like a haunted house now!
Both missed each other dearly…..but the pain of missing each other was not so bad…….well who did the magic????
Well…..God bless that telecom company that supported sweet & MK's telephone networks!!! Everyday…more that 1 hour….that too ISD calls…..they were earning in gold and silver! Everyday….almost every day either MK called Sweetu or vice versa!
It was so much of a routine that they had founf out a suitable time to talk despite of the time-lag. They talked so many things that both of them knew what was going on in the other person's life.
Maan had got new friends……not a "best" one thought……he was doing great in studies and sports as well.
Geet too had found a new Taylor in Meera and so many new friends…..but her heart still yearned for her MK….Mishtel Khulana…her best buddy!!!

Maan (more angry): so what were you doing the whole week han?? Why didn't you prepare?
Geet: sob…..itna gussa kyun sob…kar rahe ho aap????i don't feel like studying!
Maan (surprised): don't feel like studying???? Sweetu!!! What has happened to you after going to India?
Geet: sob..MK..i don't feel like studying here….mann nahi lagta…sob…kal mein pakka fail!!!
Maan (angry): you don't feel like studying…mann nahi lagta!!! Stop giving lame excuses Sweetu…..education is the foundation of your career…your future…how can you say you don't feel like studying?
Geet (cutely): sob….MK…since when did you become a good orator??? Sob….my previous records are not good and sob……if I fail tomorrow, ma'am will definitely call mamma & papa…..sob……mein kya karoon Mk…….sob..
Maan (surprised): previous records? Sweetu…you had Monday tests earlier also?
Geet: sob…yes…sob
Maan: and you say that they are not good??
Geet: sob…hmmm!!!
Maan: aaarrrgghhh…tell me all the marks you've got….abhi ke abhi!!!
Geet (cutely): abhi kya???
Maan: yes…RIGHT NOW!
Geet: okay
The next thing Maan heard was the flipping of pages.
Geet: MK….here I got the mark sheet!
Maan : ahan…say…all the marks….honestly!
Geet (innocently): last Monday – English 25/30, maths 3/30, science 5/30, social science 10/30, 2nd language 15/30……
Maan's jaw dropped open…his head was spinning now! His Sweetu scoring such low marks…….that too telling him all the marks without any hesitation…….hats off to her guts----he thought!
Hmmm…Kawaii *wonders*….oye mere Maan puttar…its not her guts……its her trust on you! Waise me thinking….sweetu told all her poor marks so easily..if anybody else was in her place, she/he would have definitely hesitated! But this is Sweetu…..MK's Sweetu…..😳
Geet: previous to last Monday , English 27/30, maths 5/30, science 12/30, social science 2/30, 2nd language 11/30…..and the Monday before that…..
Maan: hold on…hold on…….stop right there!!! Really Sweetu…if you say more, I'll faint here!the only thing you are good at is English!!! Now can I know the reason of such poor marks???
He said it rather sternly!!!

After a month or so,
…………………….
Maan:……..so hows the result?
Geet (happily): MK….i got 3rd in the class….english 28/30 , maths 27/30, science 25/30, social science 29/30, 2nd language 24/30!!!
Maan (dancing): good very good Sweetu!!!!
He was in 7th heaven 9th cloud now! Afterall he was the one who took the pain of helping her out with her studies! He'd call her every night (IST) and help her clear her doubts and give her tips for better result. She'd listen to him carefully……..she studies till midnight…..just because her MK wanted her to do well.
Geet (happily): oh MK…..love you….love you…love you so much!!!! You are the bestest of the best friend! Thank you so much!
Maan: now don't say thank you okay! You need to maintain that throughout! Maintain your rank and try to do better!
Geet: Aye Aye captain!
That night geet slept very happily……she ought to maintain her position! She remembered clearly when MK had told her that he always maintained a position within the 1st three ranks of the class and she being her best friend ad no right to score less that ythat!
It was probably in one of those days in the past one month he had said that! but geet…she can never forget his words…never in her lifetime! And so she tried…….tried her level best and finally got her results too.
X X X X X X X
Geet:….MK, am sooo happy……I got 1st in the class in the final exams!
Maan (happily): oh good…very good…..am very proud of you! My final exams will start a week later! Its good that you are promoted to the 6th grade now!!!
Geet: don't worry……I'm sure yo9u'll definitely come 1st again!!! All the best!
Maan:hmm…thanks!

Geet (crying): sob…today…sob….they all made fun of me…sob!!!
