Broken birthday
CHAPTER-1
Birthday is a special day where you celebrate to spend a year of your life, it is a day to be happy and feel overjoyed with family and friends. The day where you forget your worries and just want to give yourself a day to be happy and content. a day which you can call your day.
that's what i thought...until i turned 21
it was my 21st birthday.
i woke up in the morning, feeling refreshed and excited to see wishes from friends and family. i was feeling nervous, yet happy. i looked around to check my phone to see wishes. and as expected, there were many people who wished me. i replied politely to every wish. i felt amused that i have friends whom from i could expect wishes,but usually we feel more content when we receive wishes from the ones whom for we care the most and who are too important to us to the point that our happiness or sadness is attached to them.
i saw a text from my best friend as she asked for my birthday picture, we had been online friends for over 4 years and met in a game. and in these years, it was the first time she could remember my birthday, we have been on odds due to some reasons for a while but i knew, it was my birthday today, she will forget our indifferences and make it more special
i replied to her text, feeling excited and sent one of my pics, she praised my pictures and i felt it heartwarming, she put them on status. i hurriedly checked her status and my lips curled up in smile feeling very happy.
i thought, after today, our friendship will be better, i had a good feeling. but only i had it.
half of my day went spending time with family members preparing dishes and decorating rooms to celebrate, i happily helped them. until i checked my phone in afternoon, it was my best friend. i checked her text excitedly to see what she said.
"can we hang out today just the two of us"
i found it silly and chuckled but little confsued since we used to live far way from each other so couldn't meet. i asked in curiosity.
"just the two of us?"
she replied
"yes just the two of us, promise that you will not talk to your other online friends today"
i felt baffled and a little disappointed as we had been arguing on this for days, she wasn't good in making friends as her life had been tough for a while and i only was her best friend but for the past year, i made new friends in a game who were kind and caring.
she had been feeling insecure that i will give less value her and might leave her, but she was my best friend, just how could i do it.....
it's human nature to make new friends and that's how life goes on, i also used to encourage her that making new friends, meeting new people give us new experiences and a far approach of life, she had been going through alot in life so i thought, being in new environment will help her to stay away from negativity so i invited her in game, but she didn't like there and left so i respected her decision so i wanted her to do so.
i was trying to make her understand that i could not leave my other friends like this as they were part of my life now but still for her sake, i replied
"ok i will not talk, but if they texted, i will have to respond, ok?"
she replied, seeing her reply, it made my heart ache, my expressions got darker and i felt stunned as i could not expect it.....
