Labhya I hope I could fulfill your wish! And Hash don't worry it's 100% octo friendly.
Sorry for the mistakes and grammatical errors. Criticism is welcomed. I'm not a writer so your appreciation and criticism will help me to grow. So here it is..
Will You Be My Friend?
"He loves aloo paratha and his favorite color is blue"
"Oho kya baat hai! Aur kya kya bataya usne? Ab toh tu jijaji ke liye aloo paratha banana seekh le"
"Kya yaar swati woh abhi jijaji kahan huye. Abhi toh hum sirf dost hai. Bas itna hi pata kiya. Bahut raat ho gayi thi na toh aur chat nahi huya."
"Accha thik hai phir hone wale jijaji thik hai?"
I couldn't reply to Preeti but my blush answered it all. Preeti and Swati my best friend forever. I share everything with them. So how couldn't I share them about him? I always pretend like i don't like their teasing but actually I love it. Whenever I listen my name with him my heart leaps with joy.
"Sameer aur meri jodi ekdam mast hai. Hum dono hi high society ke hai and we look so good together. He will only date me." Listening to his name my heart skipped a beat. We turned to see who is calling Sameer as hers and I knew it was Sunaina! Our school's most fashionable and rich girl. She was gossiping with her chamchis about Sameer! Swati rolled her eyes "Naina tu us chipkali ki baat pe dhayan mat de. Tu aj Sameer ko iske bare mein batana ki kaise kartik ke hote huye bhi uspe line marti hai."
"Why should I tell him?"
"So that he won't be interested in her."
"She is not his type."
"Ladke ka kya bharosa?"
I couldn't say anything. Maybe Swati was right. Preeti too agreed with her.

"Hi Sameer. Are you free now? I need to tell you something." I texted him with my shivery hand.
"Yes buddy tell me. How was school today?"
"It was good. Actually I want to ask do you like sunaina?"
"Kartik's gf sunaina?"
"You know about them?!"
"Of course. Woh dono chahe kitna bhi chupaye kartik toh hume sab batata hai. But why did you ask me this?"
"Oh no nothing aise hi."
"Buddy tell me!"
"Sunaina likes you"
"Oh. Last week she proposed me."
"What?!! Aur tum mujhe yeh ab bata rahi ho?!"
"Main bhul gaya tha. It was so funny. Main toh bahut muskil se bhaga wahan se."
"Sunaina toh kafi sundar hai phir use haan kyun nahi kaha? Woh toh tumhare liye kartik ko chodne ke liye taiyar tha."
"She is not my type. I want a girl who will understand me. Chalta phirta shopping mall nahi chahiye mujhe. I want a girl who will be my friend for life time."
It would be lie if I say I wasn't dancing. He wants his wife as his best friend. This increased my hope. Maybe one day he will actually like me.
"I hope you will get your dream girl. Bye good night. Time to sleep."
"Good night Preeti. Kal baat karte hai."
Preeti! Yes for sameer I'm preeti. I chat with him from preeti's fb account. Because I have a fear if he will know I like him he willI start to avoid me. And I won't be able to handle his ignorance. I wanted to know about him and I'm too shy to send him text from my account. But from Preeti's account I feel free. I feel comfortable to chat with him. It's been almost six months that we are chatting and this was not an easy task to befriend with him. Bahut mehnat ke baad I'm his buddy now. To whom he shares everything.
***
I couldn't believe my eyes. He is a lier I hate him. I'm feeling disgust with myself. How could I love someone like him. And I'm hating myself for crying for that jerk. He told me he wasn't interested in sunaina and I saw them hugging each other. Thank god I saw it for myself. At least now I won't live in my la la land. I'm feeling so stupid. Sach mein ek ladka hamesha khubsoorti hi dekhta hai.
"Naina ruk. Naina" I heard preeti shouting my name. But I wasn't in a mood to talk to anyone. But preeti stopped my way.
"Naina why are you crying? Is everything okay?"
I couldn't control anymore. I hugged her and told her everything.
"He is a lier preeti. I saw them hugging. Akhir woh bhi baki ladko ki tarah nikla na."
"Tu shant ho ja. Shayad tune galat dekh li ho."
"Nahi preeti main kitni badi gadhi hoon na? Mujhe uske saath baat hi nahi karni chahiye thi."
"Ab kya karegi tu?"
"Tu use aj raat message de dena boards ki taiyari ke liye tu ab fb pe nahi ayegi."
"Lekin ek baar use pooch le na ki kya hua aisa ki man badal gaya?"
"Please mujhe aj se uske bare mein koi baat nahi karni."

Today is our farewell. I should be happy that I won't see him anymore. But I don't know why I'm feeling so lost. My subconscious mind doesn't want to go away from him. Silly me! Itna sab kuch ho gaya phir bhi akkal nahi ayi. For exams we all were busy so Sameer didn't doubt preeti. But many times he texted preeti to know how was his buddy. He even tried to talk with her in school when she was alone. Because I had told him once not to talk in school as everyone would link up them if anyone sees them talking. And my excuse worked. He never tried to talk with preeti in those days when we were chatting. And Preeti was always careful enough to handle the situation.
I saw him smiling with his friends. He has a beautiful smile. I'll miss him but one day I'll forget him. One day!
***
I thought I have moved on. But today I understood he was always in my heart. He became more handsome. How I missed his luscious hair! His smile! And his naughty wink. I'm meeting him after five years in a friend's wedding. I didn't expect him to come. He talked to me! I'm glad he remembered me. Now he is dropping me & preeti to our home.
"I missed all the school friends so much. Aur preeti yaar itna bhi kya busy thi tum ki baat nahi kari itne saal."
Oh god! We shouldn't accepted his request to drop us. Why he had to talk about this!!
"Nahi woh aise hi utna time nahi milta tha" Preeti said with nervousness.
"Haan par tum har saal mujhe birthday pe wish karna nahi bhulti thi. Thank you."
***
It was so awkward for me to sit with him alone. Why my house is so far! I'm feeling so angry with preeti. She deliberately went to her aunt's house so that I could talk with him.
"So how is sunaina?"
"Umm koun? School wali sunaina? Mujhe kaise pata hoga?"
"Kyun tum dono ka breakup ho gaya?"
"Break up?! We were never in relation."
"Oh come on. I saw two of you hugging."
"Ewww don't remind me of that day. And excuse me I wasn't hugging her. She was throwing herself on me. Ankhen check karao apni."
Was he telling truth? Did I really misunderstand their position? I am feeling like killing myself.
"Umm oh accha chodo. Koi aur gf toh hogi?"
"Nahi aisa koi mila nahi. Aur tumhari?"
"Bf woh bhi meri?!"
"Haan kyun nahi?"
"Oh come on mujh jaisi behenji ka koi bf kaise hoga."
"I think you really need an eye specialist. Girl have you ever seen yourself in the mirror? You are the cutest girl I have ever seen."
Am I blushing? Yes I am. I shouldn't again fall for him.
***
I hate myself for coming so early. Last night after dropping me he texted me to meet him again. And stupid me again accepted his request. Now I'm waiting for him for 35 minutes and mahashay ka koi ata pata nahi! I couldn't sleep because of him. Why he wants to meet me and his compliment! I couldn't help but blushed again remembering his lines.
"I'm so sorry I'm late."
"It's okay. Mujhe kyun bulaya?"
"Abhi abhi toh aye hai. Let's order something."
"I'm not feeling like eating. Coffee chalega."
He ordered to the waiter and I was staring at him. He was wearing orange T-shirt with blue jeans. Orange really suits him. Actually every color suits him. He doesn't have long hairs like school but still it was long. After ordering he looked at me straight into my eyes. God why he always do this effect on me!
"So how are you Naina?"
"Tum mujhe yeh poochne ke liye bulaya?"
"Nahi baat kuch aur hai"
"Toh bolo na" I couldn't wait anymore.
"Umm woh darasal"
"Sameer please jo bolna hai seedha aur jaldi bolo"
"Woh mujhe Preeti bahut pasand hai. Use propose karne mein meri madad karogi?"
I blinked twice and tried to gather the information. My heart wrenched hearing this. Again he broke my heart. But it was not his fault. It was always my fault that I gave him chance to broke me.
"Oh thik hai. Kya karna hai bolo?"
"Kuch nahi mujhe bas janna tha uske life mein koi hai kya? Aur use kya kya pasand hai?"
"Thik hai main tumhe sab text kar dungi. Abhi mujhe jana hai bahut zaroori kaam hai."
I picked my handbag and stood up for going.
"Ek minute Naina. Apni buddy se itne din baad mile ho. Baat nahi karogi?"
I was shocked to hear this.
"Hain? Buddy koun?"
He too stood up and came near to me.
"Main itna bada gadha bhi nahi hoon ki yeh na samajh payu ki tum hi meri buddy ho."
"Yeh kya bakwas hai?"
I couldn't look into his eyes.
"Woh tum hi thi na jo preeti banke mere saath chat karti thi aur har saal mujhe birthday wish aur gift bhejti thi?"
"Tumhe lag raha hoga preeti ne bataya. Par mujhe khud pata chala."
This time I looked up with confusion.
"Kal tum dono saath thi aur sirf tumhe pata tha ki mujhe khane mein kya pasand preeti ko koi farq nahi padh raha tha. Aur yeh bracelet yeh toh maine apni buddy ko bheja tha tumhare paas kaise?"
Oh shit! He noticed it! Main sach mein ek number ki gadhi hoon.
"Aur tumhara chehra itna utar kyun gaya jab maine kaha ki main preeti ko pasand karta hoon"
"Woh Sameer aisa kuch nahi hai"
"Toh fir meri taraf dekh ke bolo"
"I'm sorry Sameer. I had a crush on you in school. I know I shouldn't do this. But I just wanted to know you better."
"So you had? Now you don't have?"
"Hain?!"
I was dumbfounded. This boy will be my death one day!
"Bolo na"
"No I don't have " I lied and he knew I was lying.
"Okay. Then I go and propose preeti."
"No why? I mean I am your buddy toh phir tumhe mujhe propose karna chahiye na?"
I blabbered nonsense and he was laughing. I want to kill him but his laugh melt me like anything. And then what he did was beyond my expectation. He held my hand and said those lines which I was craving to listen to all these years.
"Naina I had a crush on you too. I never got the courage to tell you. You were topper of our school and I was nothing. Himmat hi nahi huya. So.."
One second seemed like one year. Everything was blurred and I could only see his beautiful eyes which made me fall in love with him.
"So Naina will you be my friend? For life time?"
