Riya and Medellus were the best of friends since childhood. They did everything together - from playing video games to spilling their deepest secrets. They were inseparable, and nothing could shake their bond.

One evening, as Riya sat in her room, her phone rang. She saw Medellus's name flashing on the screen, and she answered it immediately. Medellus sounded anxious, and Riya could sense that something was wrong.

'What's the matter, Medellus?' Riya asked with concern.

'I have to tell you something, Ri. But promise me you won't judge me,' Medellus replied with a trembling voice.

Riya was taken aback by her friend's tone but assured her that she could tell her anything without fear of judgment.

'Okay, so, you know how I've been distant lately? I met someone, and we've been talking a lot. I didn't want to tell you because I was afraid you would get mad,' Medellus revealed.

Riya was surprised by this revelation. She had noticed Medellus's distance, but she never thought it was because of someone else. She tried to hide her feelings and asked Medellus more about this mystery person.

As Medellus described the person, Riya realized that it was someone she knew. She couldn't believe that her best friend was talking to her ex-boyfriend behind her back. She felt betrayed and hurt.

The conversation ended awkwardly, and Riya didn't know what to do. She couldn't understand why Medellus would do something like this. The next day, she confronted Medellus about it, and things got heated. Medellus tried to explain, but Riya couldn't handle the betrayal. She decided to end their friendship.

The days that followed were difficult for both of them. They both regretted how things turned out and missed each other's company. However, the trust between them was broken, and the friendship could never be the same.

The secret that Medellus revealed had changed their friendship forever. It was a harsh lesson for Riya to learn, but she knew that sometimes, even the strongest bonds can be broken.
