Part 1:
It was 10 am of the morning nd the whole media was gathered in front of KM to catch a glimpse of the most promising Businessman of the world. It has just been 6 yrs since he was handling the responsibilities of Khurana's Constructions but the heights where he had made KC reached wid just a short span of tym was truly remarkable. KC was not only India's but now World's no. 1 Constructions Company thanx to the intelligence nd forecasting of the MD of KC nd today morning he had came back from London after signing the biggest deal in the history of KC nd all the media were gathered in front of his house to catch his glimpse as dey missed it at Airport.
There he was standing in front of the mirror getting ready. He smirked as he listened to the reporters on the news channel who are just going gaga over him. He was the most successful nd eligible bachelor of his town. Girls just die to get a glimpse of him but he never gave dem a second glance. He hates dem for throwing demselves to him for the sake of his money. Probably dis is the reason that he's 28 years old now yet single.
For the outer world he was harsh, ruthless nd arrogant businessman but for his family he's a doting Grandson, a doting brother nd a doting friend. He has climbed all the peak in his career & achieved the heights in business field that no one could. He is determined, Passionate, Rich, Powerful nd extra ordinary Sense of Business. D rivals have to think twice before dey can plot against him. He is MAAN SINGH KHURANA, MD OF KHURANA'S CONSTRUCTION. He looked at the TV once again before he left the room after dressing up for the office while instructing his securities to handle media
**********************************************************
As he reached downstairs he saw his Dadimaa nd sister Nayantara waiting for him at the breakfast table. He gave a small smile to them nd went to take his seat.
"Gud morning Dadimaa, Good morning NT" he greeted as he serves the pasta in his plate.
"Gud morning Maan beta but y are u all dressed up like dis? Are you going somewhere?" Dadimaa asked as she saw him all dressed up
"Office Dadimaa" Maan replied taking the bite of Pasta
"Office? But Maan you had came back today morning only moreover its Sunday today." NT said unbelievingly.
"I know but you also know that I don't believe in wasting tym." Maan said nd NT sighed knowing there's no use to argue further
"Anyways I am done wid my breakfast I am leaving." He said as he finishes the breakfast nd leaves from dere asking Driver to take out his car leaving both the ladies behind dumbfounded
Well dis was not new for dem. Maan was like dis since the day he had joined KC. He hardly spends tym at home or wid dem. the only tym wen dey saw each other was at the tym of breakfast or dinner which Savitri Devi has made an rule to have together. Probably NT knew the reason behind this behaviour of Maan but she knows she can't do anything now as it was just due to her only things had gone out of hand. All she can do is now to pray to god for some miracle to happen.

Raaston mein kho gaya hai mitra
Ajnabi kyon ho gaya hai mitra, mitra
Kuchh to kami hai saawan
Saawan sa kyon na laage mitra, mitra
Shaamo sehar kyon mann ka
Aangan yeh soona laage mitra,mitra
Dhoop leke jo gaya hai mitra
Ajnabi kyon ho gaya hai mitra
Yaara haaye yaara
Kaise jane yaara bichhda
Yaara haaye yaara
Sang chain saara bichhda
Here Maan was going to his office wen his car came to a halt due to Traffic signal. He was working on his laptop wen accidently his gaze falls at the group of teenagers enjoying among demselves nd tying something at each other's hand. It took him no tym to register that its Friendship Day today. A very special day for friends. There was a tym wen it was a special day for him too but everything changed nd now he's here alone without his friend, his Mitra
"Maan, don't call me Laddoo." She said poutingly
"Aww meri Laddoo ko bura laga. Koi baat nahi but I'll call you Laddoo only. Its my right got it." Maan said as he pulled her chubby cheeks.
"U know wat u are a Devil a big big Devil" she said while looking away while Maan just laughed away
"C'mon yaar Laddoo its our first friendship day yaar. Won't I get a hug from you?" Maan said as he spread his arms
"U knw wat u are really a devil u very well know how to melt my anger" she said as she hugged him wid a smile
"Laddoo our first friendship day Promise me that we'll always spend our friendship day together no matter wat" he said while hugging her
"I Promise Maan that we'll always be together on friendship day no matter wat" she said as dey tied friendship Band on each other's wrist sealing the deal
Music...
Dil ke taaron mein, kyon hazaaron mein
Dard jaage hain
Humne baandhe jo, reshmi saare
Toote dhaage hain
Birha ko yeh harjaana hai
Humko adaa kar jaana hai
Sirf yaadon ka taana baana hai
Kya chhupaana hai
Haale dil jo ho gaya hai mitra,mitra
Ajnabi kyon ho gaya hai mitra,mitra
Unknowingly a small crept on his face wen he remembers his special friend, his Mitra, his Laddoo. The girl who had once promised him that they'll always be together on this day but who's not with him since last 6 years. He had so many friends in his lyf but no one had taken place of his Laddoo nd after she left everything changed in his lyf except the hope that one day she'll definitely come back nd they'll celebrate their friendship day together. Those days were the best days of his lyf. Nd now Inspite of having everything in his lyf he still feel lonely without her. all he was left wid is the memories of her nd their friendship.
A sudden jerk of break brought him back to reality nd he realized that he had reached his office. He went inside his office followed by his bodyguards. As it was Sunday so the staff was at leave. Maan was here to complete some work before leaving for Mumbai tonight. Moreover he himself wanted to engross himself in work on this day so that he don't think about her but no matter how much he tried; he just can't get away from her memories especially on this day.
Finally, unable to get away from her memories he just closed the files kept in front of him nd leaned back on his chair. He closes his eyes only to see her smiling face in front of his eyes. It seems like yesterday only wen he first met her. At that moment none of dem thought that one day they'll be named as Best Buddies
********~~~~~~Flashback~~~~~********
It was first day of the session for 11th class nd Maan had just got admission in this new school. There were several new students along wid the old ones from different schools. No doubt he was missing his old friends but along wid that he had an excitement too to meet new friends but currently the matter that he had to deal with to find his way to new class. He has been searching for it from past 30 mins but got no success. If he takes help of anyone so either someone would tell him the wrong direction in order to take his ragging or girls just gets lost himself seeing a charming person in front of them. Finally tired from all this he just sat on the stairs thinking whom should he ask for help wen he first met her. She was coming towards the stairs only wid some other girl wen she saw him sitting over dere.
"Excuse me! Can I ask you y you are sitting over as if it is a waiting room" She asked him as she saw him relaxing.
"Ummm actually I can't find the way to my class. I asked from many students but they were just not able to tell me the correct way." He said as he stood helpless
"Which class?"
"11th A-2" Maan told nd she looked at him surprised
"Come I'll show you the way" she said after thinking for sometym.
"Hey if you are also planning to misguide me just like the others did den pls don't bother urself" Maan said misunderstanding her
"Listen I don't have this much tym to play pranks. I am a student of class 11th A-2 too. So if u want any help then ok or else I am leaving for assembly." She said nd Maan chuckled at her attitude.
"Hey don't get angry. Fine let's go." Maan said as he picked up his backpack while Geet asked her friend that she'll join her in assembly.
They had walked just few steps only wen she instantly stopped nd looked at him who was walking beside her.
"Do you want me to show you the class?" She asked while Maan looked at confusingly
"Ya ofcourse" he said not understanding y she asked such question
"Den stop walking beside me nd just follow me"
"But..." he tried to say something only to be interrupted by her
"You want my help or not?"
"Ya"
"Den just follow me" she said nd moved ahead while Maan just sighed nd followed her.
Throughout the way to class Maan was just looking at the girl walking ahead him. She is the first girl who was showing him so much attitude. As he noticed her personality she is quiet fat nd just look like a teddy bear. And her chubby cheeks he just wanted to pull them right now but wat caught his attention is her big hazel eyes nd the spark in them wen she talked to him. She's indeed looking cute in her ponytail wid school uniform. Yes she's fat yet she looks so adorable. By the tym he could notice something else he noticed that they had reached to their class.
"So here's your class I mean our class." She said as they stepped inside.
"Thanks Ms. Umm..." He stopped as he waited for her to tell her name but before she could tell her name they have been interrupted by a prefect who had came there to call them for assembly. She immediately left for the assembly leaving Maan behind
"Laddoo" he muttered as he smiled looking at her retreating form nd den left for assembly too.
*****************************************************
Later after the assembly wen they came back to their class teacher had arranged their seat together as she was the oldest student of this school nd it'll help Maan in understanding the environment.
"So now we both have been seated together. Don't you think that it's already been destined" he asked as he seated beside her
"No its just a coincidence." She said as she opens her book without looking at him.
"Well it seems you don't believe in destiny."
"I don't believe in cheap flirting too." She said finally looking at him
"Whooo... relax Laddoo I was not flirting wid you." He said as he raises his hand in air
"My name is not Laddoo." She said furiously
"Well how should I know your name wen u haven't told me till now? Anyways I'll tell you mine. Hi! I am Maan. Maan Singh Khurana" he said while extending his hand towards her. Geet looked at his hand for a while nd den joins it
"Geet, Geet Handa" she said while shaking hands
"Wow! Her name is as musical as her voice." Maan thought as he shakes hand wid her
"Nice name. Do you mind if I call you Laddoo?"
"I do mind." She said nd before he could say anything further teacher warned them to be quiet so they instantly shuts their mouths.
And like that their friendship starts. Both of dem didn't realize that wen dey Become best friends from only friends. As the tym passes by their Friendship gets Stronger day by day. Maan use to call Geet "Laddoo" as she looks so cute nd dis was the first name that came into his mind wen he had first saw her. Initially Geet gets irritated from dis but later on she stops getting irritated from dis as she knows dat Maan will never change. But no one else in the class has got the Permission to call her Laddoo. Only Maan can call her dat.
As the tym passes whole school are aware of Maan nd Geet's friendship. They had been often called as "Inseparable souls". Their friendship was so strong hat people often mistook them as love but they both knows the reality of their relationship. Both of their families are aware of their friendship nd had really adored it. Geet had always saved Maan from teacher's scoldings. She use to make notes for him wen he was busy in his basketball practice. Nd Maan was no less. He always makes sure that no one could hurt his Laddoo in any way; neither physically nor emotionally. He always remain wid her as her shadow. No one dare to play any kind of pranks wid her or to make fun of her nd if anyone do this by chance den even God cant save them from Maan's wrath.
Like this 2 years of their school has been passed nd dey both took admission in the same college. Over there also the stories of their friendship got popular. As the year passes the depth of their friendship too gets deep. Their friendship knew no bounds. Infact it was Geet only who had helped him to confess his love to Sameera whom he liked at the first sight.
Everything was going fine until one day wen she left all of a sudden without infirming anything to anyone. Maan just had a break-up wid Sameera nd by the tym he could have known anything Geet has gone far away from his lyf.
********~~~~~~Back to Present~~~~~********
Kuchh to kami hai saawan
Saawan sa kyon na laage mitra,mitra
Shaamo sehar kyon mann ka
Aangan yeh soona laage mitra,mitra
Dhoop leke jo gaya hai mitra
Ajnabi kyon ho gaya hai mitra
Yaara haaye yaara
Kaise jane yaara bichhda
Yaara haaye yaara
Sang chain saara bichhda
He opened his eyes nd a lone tear escaped from his eyes remembering the days he had spend wid his Laddoo. He still don't know why Geet left all of a sudden nd where she had gone. He had searched for her at every possible places but he couldn't find her as if she had got vanished in thin air. Today he had got everything that he desired. Name, Fame, money, power everything yet it all seems nothing to him without his friend, his Mitra, his Laddoo.
In these 6 years he had imagined countless tymes wat will he say to her wen he'll find her. He wanted to ask her y she left all of a sudden? Where had she gone? Y did she break her promise that she'll always be there wid him? Y did she broke her promise that they'll always spent dere friendship day together? But all his questions were just remained unanswered. She had never hide anything from him then wat had happened that she had to left like this without even meeting him once before leaving
He opened the drawer nd look at the friendship band that she had given him on their first friendship day. It was a delicate silver chain with hearts hanging on it nd on each heart each letter of "F-R-I-E-N-D" has been written. His eyes welled up as he looked at it nd the photograph kept near it where they both were holding a trophy. It was a trophy that they won together at the inter-collegiate competition.
"Happy Friendship Day Laddoo. I really miss you a lot. y you had gone like dis? u know na that i am nothing without you then y did u left me like this. y did u broke your Promise Laddoo? y? Please come back" he said as he looked at their photograph.
His thoughts have been distracted wen he heard his phone ringing. It was a reminder call from his secretary to remind him about the conference he had to attend at Mumbai. He simply asked her to arrange everything nd cuts the call. He was really not in mood to go anywhere today as this day was just dedicated to their friendship but knowing that it's important he can't ignore it too.
He sighed at his fate nd kept the photograph nd Band back in the drawer nd made his way outside the office nd headed towards airport to leave for Mumbai unknown of the surprise this day had stored for him.
