Yuvreen OS: Best Friends in love
A small girl of nine ran across the flowers filled path trying to catch up with another boy. She could not digest the fact that the boy was ahead of her and she tried to run faster but lo! She fell down with a loud cry!
The boy immediately ran back and offered her a hand to get up.
"Mujhe nahi chahiye. I don't need my rival's help." The girl said a bit curtly.
"Chal, zyada bhao mat kha. Main pehle tera best friend hoon." The boy dragged her with him to his house.
"Dikha kahan lagi" Yuvraj held a bandaid and some cotton and ointments.
Suvreen pushed her knee forward and said nothing else.
"Don't be that rude.Atleast talk to me. What crime did I commit?" He asked still bandaging the wound.
"It was my personal diary Yuvraj.Tumhe dekhna nahi chahiye" Suvreen said.
"Achha sorry babba." He held both his ears.
"Its okay. Par firse kabhi mat karna.I warn you" Suvreen said getting prepared to go.
"Theek hai meri sherni" Yuvraj laughed out.
She frowned and went out of the door.
* * * * *
"Yuvraj!" She screamed in hiss ear.
Yuvraj at once woke up with a start to see if some earthquake or tsunami had arrived. He fluttered his eyes when he saw infront him his parents as well as Suvreen's parents with gifts in their hands. He heard them saying "Happy birthday Yuvraj!"
He smiled at them and looked towards Suvreen angrily.
"Happy Birthday" she smiled brightly.
Yuvraj thanked his parents and uncle and aunty and after they went out
"Suvi...birthday mein hear-attack gift kar rahi hai kya?"
"Haww...tum uthh nahi rahe thhe...that was the only option." She replied.
"Mujhe jo chahiye who kar toh nahi sakti...atleast don't try to kill me on my birthday."
"Hey gannuji...you! Kya bol rahe the tum...kya chahiye tumhe jo main nahi kar sakti?" She said standing with a frown.
Yuvraj smiled wickedly and said-" Be of my age!"
Suvreen looked at him with disbelief.
"Now that's not possible! You just became 16...aur 8 months ke baad main ho jaungi"
"See told you na...tum nahi kar payi" Yuvraj mocked at her.
Suvreen started hitting him.
"Ouch! Kabhi toh ladki bano yaar." Yuvraj said trying to save himself from her fists.
"I am a girl, you blind!" Suvreen darted back.
"Kis angle se? Kapdon se toh bilkul nahi.Bas hairstyle se pata chalta hai"
"Mujhe aisa hi acha lagta hai...I don't like flowing dresses ya fir duppata sambhal business...tumhe jo karna hai karo" Suvreen said and prepared to leave. Yuvraj's mind suddenly lighted up. Dimaag ki batti jala!
Yuvraj pulled her back and she landed on his lap. She gasped and said irritatedly, "Yuvraj! Kya kar rahe ho"
Yuvraj covered her mouth with his hand.
"I dare you...to wear something girl type in today's party" he said with a wide grin.
Suvreen got off him and said- "What the hell! Theek hai I accept it"
Suvreen ran away from there. She did not want to accept it but she could not get defeated by Yuvraj. So she had to accept.
In the party in evening, Yuvraj's house was full of teens, uncles-aunties, relatives for the birthday. Everyone was happily enjoying the atmosphere. Yuvraj went from here and there taking care of his friends and family as well. His eyes still darted once every minute to the door to see if Suvreen had come. Time for cake cutting was nearing. He went to Suvreen's mom who was in the kitchen helping his mom.
"Aunty...Suvreen kahan hai?"
"Who toh ready ho rahi thi. Pata nahi...ab tak kyun nahi aayi"
"Main jaa ke bula deta hun"
He ran off his house to the next house that was of Suvreen's to call her. He was no way going to cut his birthday cake without his best friend! He went straight to her room and banged on the door hard.
"Suvreen...kya kar rahi ho?Ab tak kyun nahi aayi?"
"Yuvraj main...tum jao..I am coming." Came Suvreen's reply from inside.
"Cake cutting ka time ho raha hai...Kahin tum dare ke liye..." Yuvraj further said chuckling.
"Shut up...tum jao..dont wait for me...but I promise I'll come!" Suvreen replied angrily.
Yuvraj muttered an ok' and left.
After some more time he saw her entering through the door. She wore a knee-length black dress with a golden waist-band. Her hair was kept open and small golden danglings adorned her ears. Yuvraj stared at her as if she was some alien. She threw a winning smile at Yuvraj and wiggled her eyebrows asking how she looked. Yuvraj just smiled at her and started to cut the cake. He fed his parents, then Suvreen's parents as they were like his second parents. Next he took a big piece of cake and fed Suvreen.Suvreen took a bite and turned it back to him of which he took a bite too. Later they started smearing the cream on each other's faces.
Then they stared talking to their friends and payed games. Some started dancing to the music and some others just gossiped away. In between Yuvraj came to Suvreen and said
"You took the joke seriously? Ab sach mein marogi kya b'day wale din?"
Suvreen looked confusingly at him.
"Haan...ab aise dikhne lagogi toh meri life ki gurantee nahi..." he said winking.
Suvreen stared at him in disbelief ignoring the light crimson hue which had crept up her cheeks.
"Yuvraj! Kuch zyada nahi ho gaya? I mean how old are you...aur tum flirt karne lag gaye?"
"Keep scolding now...ek din jab kissi aur ladki ke saath flirt karunga toh tu jalegi"
Suvreen started laughing like insane.
"Seriously? Kyun all other better guys wil be dead? Back to earth Mr.Yuvraj...stop dreaming!"
"Tab lets see!" Yuvraj replied smiling. Suvreen yet stayed nonchalant unaware of the fact that his words were to come true.
4 years later
"Suvreen!"
She stopped bouncing the ball and looked back.Yuvraj ran to her in the basketball court which was there usual meeting place now.
Yuvraj ran and hugged her leaving her shocked. He was grinning happily and Suvreen was still shocked.
"Kya hua? Itna khush kyu ho" she finally asked.
Yuvraj didn't reply her and hugged her tighter as if she was his dear life. Suvreen was not usual to this. Even though they were best of friends they never hugged for this long or this desperately unless they had to console each other. After her seventeenth birthday she slowly realized she was affected by him. Affected not in a friendly way but some other way. She had started to have a crush on her best friend. She still remembered the day when she herself realized it and could not register the thing in her mind. After a few more days she finally accepted that indeed he was affecting her in every way. Be it his sparkling eyes or charming smile, his friendly gestures or his concern for her, his flirty remarks or his care for her. Everything affected her in a peculiar manner and many often she had started to blush just for his talks. It wasn't long before she realized that her crush was slowly getting deeper and had become love. She knew her feelings very clearly even then she suppressed her feelings till date. She got many vibes from him as well but being unsure about him she decided to remain his best friend forever!
Yuvraj hugging him, again that affected her and she moved away. Keeping a straight face to hide her embarrassment she again asked- "Reason toh batao...itna khush kyun?"
Yuvraj stood staring at her face with a lopsided smile adorning his face. He recalled how she had tried to suppress her feelings eversince she got them. But he, he knew every hidden feeling of her. Being her best friend he knew exactly what she thought everytime and how could she think he didn't know about what she felt. He had noticed her blushes, her sparkling eyes, her smiles, her growing concern for him. He even now noticed her uneven breathing and her erratic heartbeats just for a simple hug. That too with her best friend. He felt a victory build up as she had failed to hide her feelings from him while he did not. He had loved her. Since the day he had become sixteen. He knew well about himself and surely did not consider her as a crush but much more than that. He had been waiting for years to tell her but he was keen on finding out if her feelings reciprocated and finally he was damn sure they did! He just wanted to play along.
"Oh hello where are you? Back to earth!" she snapped her fingers in front of him.
He came back from his reverie and smiled at her.
"Care to explain...ki itna smile kyun aaraha hai chehre par?"
"I love someone Suvreen" he said.
And that ended her hopes. Tears stung her eyes as she looked down immediately trying to hide them. She forced a smile on her face and exclaimed
"Haww Yuvraj! Who is that unlucky one?"
Yuvraj said-" I'll tell you baad mein"
For the next two days she kept avoiding him as much as possible. She did not want to meet him to make it more difficult for her. She tried her best to ignore that she loved him. She tried her best to be happy for him. Happy that he had finally found his someone special. But something was still bugging her how much she tried. On the contrary, Yuvraj tried everytime to catch up with her but she kept running away from him. After two days she was at the basketball court after the usual college hours continuously bouncing the ball and trying to forget her tormenting feelings. She badly wanted to be alone but exactly the opposite happened.
"Yaar Suvreen. Bhag kyu rahi hai? I haven't even talked to you properly since last two days" Yuvraj complained.
Suvreen did not listen to him and continued dubbing the ball giving her full concentration on it as if it was the most fascinating thing of the world.
"Yaar Suvreen.What happened to you? Meri baat toh sun" Yuvraj followed her haphazardly.
Suvreen replied a faint hmm' only.
He held her and turned her to face him. The ball slipped from Suvreen's hands and she stared at him with bewilderment.
"What happened? Kabse bula raha hun and you don't bother. I need you my best friend now."
Suvreen lowered her eyes and replied-" Woh bas tensed thi...I'm sorry...bolo kya bol rahe the"
"I need to tell her.Main aaj hi use bata dena chahta hun but nervous hun"
Suvreen replied like a normal friend.
"Haww...look who is talking...Yuvraj singh? Nervous?" She mocked him.
Then she further enquired.
"Kya tumhe pata hai ki who bhi tumse...does she like you?"
Yuvraj smiled.
"She loves me! Usne kabhi bataya toh nahi par uske aankhon mein dikhta hai. Who sochti hai who chupa legi but no...she failed"
Suvreen felt a bit uncomfortable as Yuvraj's eyes were boring into hers. She looked down.
"By the way...tumhari help chahiye...I need to present myself infront of you first"
"Kya? No no...Yuvraj...use directly bolo...jo man mein aaye bol dena par mere saamne nahi"
"Suvreen please...main uske saamne stammer nahi karna chahta"
After lot of pleadings from Yuvraj she hesitantly agreed atlast.
Yuvraj bent down on his knees and smilingly took her hands in his. He started to speak making Suvreen shiver at each word of him.
"We started as friends, but I never realized when you became so close to me. I never knew when you reserved a vast part of my heart for you. I have been enjoying every moment with you and will keep relishing them for the rest of my life. I would love to have you on my side and grow old with you. I love you and will do forever"
Suvreen's eyes stung with tears but again those words weren't for her. She recomposed herself and smiled at Yuvraj as he stood up.
"Quite impressive! Now go and tell her...I am sure woh mana nahi karegi?" she replied smiling confidently.
"I did it..." Yuvraj replied simply.
"Did what?" Suvreen asked confusingly.
"I did it just now...jisko job hi batana tha bata diya...and I am also sure ko woh mana nahi karegi" Yuvraj smiled as his eyes sparkled.
Suvreen took it some moments to calculate the meaning of his words and as she realised she looked at Yuvraj open mouthed. She didn't even realise all this time Yuvraj meant her and how he managed to give her a big shock now.
"Munh band karo...nahi toh makkhi ghus jayenge." Yuvraj laughed.
He looked at her and further said-"Tumhe kya laga tum aram se chup rehoge toh I'll never know?"
Suvreen just blinked as if the world was new her. She was much amused. She had not even imagined that he would have known before she told him herself.
Yuvraj inched closer to her and whispered in her ear.
"I know each and everything cooking about in your heart and brain...zara bachke rahiyo"
Suvreen let out a happy smile and wiped her happy tears. As he was moving away she threw her arms around his neck and hugeed him hard like a child.
"Tum..tum na...bahot bure ho... world's best actor award milna chahiye...you are the worst yet the best"
Yuvraj laughed and hugged her back.
"Thoda toh suspense banta hi hai na. Tujhe thoda harane ka mann kiya...toh phir best friend as boyfriend accepted ya rejected?"
She broke the hug and looked at him.
"Stupidness ki hadd hoti hai Yuvraj...Ofcourse I love you stupid!"
Then she did something which shocked Yuvraj to an extent. In much excitement she pulled him closer and kissed him. But she soon realized what she had done and tried to move away. Yuvraj immediately wrapped his hands around her waist and pulled her closer and gave in marking their bond.
After sometime Yuvraj looked at a beet-red Suvreen in amusement.
"Yaar kabhi toh ladki jaise behave karo...kaunsi ladki pehle kiss karti hai?" Yuvraj said trying to lighten her.
Suvreen hit him playfully and replied
"Combo offer mila hai...bestfriend+girlfriend...unique toh hoga hi!"
At this they laughed.
