Hi

If you are a guy, did you ever had a female best friend?

I do, and she is the best!!!!

We are childhood friends. Initially, I used to hate her but with her loving nature, she won my heart. We share everything, every secret with each other.

She is inquisitive, naughty like a doe, always prancing from here to there.

Her hair was woven from the black heavens, fine strands of spacetime and starlight. Her hair, black and straight, moves as soft prairie grass in the summer wind. It gives contrast to her face, sweetly dark upon soft brown skin. She is woven into the beauty of this place rather than a thing apart. There is something of her spirit here in the trees and the waterways, as if they are always in communion, ever happy together.

She shares all her problems even the girl's problems with me.

She is this naughty little girl who does all sorts of crazy kinds of stuff yet is pampered by her in-laws. She breaks rules and stereotypes. She is unique in her way and maybe that his why I lo.....no no...I...only like her as a friend.

My family loves her a lot too.

We are close to each other but not that close. There is a line drawn between both of us, a red Lakshman Rekha which I never tried to cross.

That Rekha is drawn on her hairline.

Yes, she is married.

But that doesn't change the fact that she is my best friend. Her husband and in-laws seem ok with it too.

Once she starts talking, she won't stop. She is a talkative radio. I don't know how her husband handles this girl...hats off to him.

Her black eyes are like the deep ocean, where a soul can rest, it has a lot of questions and naughtiness. Her eyes show love, wait wait wait!!!...

Not for me....for her husband.

I saw her growing up from a kid to a teenager, from cute to pretty but still immature. She looks beautiful in open hair with no pallu but unfortunately, she always puts her pallu on in front of others except her husband. She is frank with him. I witnessed them laughing and gossiping.

Once he scolded her in front of the whole school because she got fewer marks. I was raged and wanted to confront him but a few moments later I saw them having kulfi. She was happy and he was rubbing her mouth with a cloth.

Ok

But I share a stronger bond with her than him and the sole reason is that they don't share a husband-wife relationship. She is just a little kid for him but me, she is my best friend.

I know her since childhood and with growing age, she started falling for her husband. She didn't tell me as she is unaware of the fact. It's just evident by the way she talks about him all the time and smiles and blushes.

Also with growing age, I think I started falling for....no that is not possible, I cannot fall for her...

I remembered once she dropped her book in a well and I tried to pick it up, risking my life.

Principal sir called my baba and he scolded both of us.

I don't love her but when she smiles, my heart smiles. When she cries my heart cries. My happiness comes with her happiness but her happiness comes with the happiness of her husband.

Luckily Our friendship never faced any humiliation just because we are of the opposite sex.

With growing age, we understood that there exists a relationship beyond friendship. You know, teenage stuff, crush and all. The unfortunate part is I am not her crush and never will be and I don't want to be either. I don't want her to fall for me, ruining such a pure bond.

We save each other, we always have each other's back in times of need.

We are so close yet so far.

Do you know why?

Her name.....

Yes!

My name is completed by my father's name and her name is completed by my brother's name
