After changing to fresh clothes, both best friends were sitting and chatting.

Priyanka(worried)-Anii you OK na, you didn't got hurt right?

Anika- No, Chilax babe I m all good .But thanks yaar, for getting me this appointment.

Priyanka- No yaar thanks to you, you saved my brother today. And you have done so much for me till date, this is nothing in front of that...you know na I can do anything for you, you just have to say it.

Anika(hugging pri)- You are my best friend but more than that I consider you as my sister. So don't thank me ever....otherwise I will slap you.

Priyanka(nostalgic)- I m glad that you are my best friend and I still clearly remember that day when we became friends.....

Other girl, 2 years senior to her comes and sit beside her,
Senior girl- Why are you crying??

Sr. Girl moves near her and wipes off her tear.

S.girl(softly)- Now tell me...what happened??

Y.girl- All my classmates tease me because I stutter.

S.girl - Are you serious??I didnt notice any stuttering.....you are speaking perfectly.
Y.girl- woh...whenever I....I get nervo...us I sta..rt st..utte...ring.

S.girl- why do u get nervous.? You should be confident about yourself like you were now.....

Y.girl- I don't know. Here I m all alone, I don't have my brothers by my side .So I just get scared while talking to someone and that's why I don't have any friends .

S.girl(extending her hand)- Will you be my friend.??

Y.girl(hesitatingly)- Yess.

S.girl- By the way I m Anika Malhotra.

Y.girl(surprised)- You are my senior. I know you .You have joined this school last month right.....You are quite famous by your looks and intelligence and daring nature. Oh, I m so sorry .I m just rambaling...btw myself Priyanka Oberoi.

Anika(laughing)- Oh you are so cute priyanka and you are right about me. Now you are my friend so you have to be confident and strong. Just remember you will never be alone you will find me by your side....also you have your brothers love with you. Consider that as your strength, when your brothers will know that you are not happy then they will also became sad. And whenever you need anyone to talk to, I m always there. From today whenever you talk with someone just imagine your brothers are by your side holding your hands. And not to forget me....I will be with you in any situation, Pinki promise.

Priyanka- Tysm Anika, I m feeling so much better.....she hugs her new strength and support system, her new bff Anika!!

They walk out of there together as best friends and soul sisters. That was the start of their friendship when Anika was 14 yrs and Priyanka 12 yrs.

Priyanka- I know I can always relay on you. By the way did you like my Shivay bhaiya...??

Anika- Off course he is handsome just like you used to describe.....but such a aakdu and khadoos!!

Priyanka- But still he is a sweetheart.....you will love him!!

Anika- what yaar pri....you still stuck at that incident......

Flashback

Anika(16yrs)- I m so furious with that Rohit. He proposed me in front of the whole school...embarrassing the hell out of me. Hw dare he?? What he think of himself?? He isn't even worth of Anika Malhotra's sandal....that bas***d playboy!!

Priyanka(14yrs)- Why are you getting so angry. Its OK. Btw he is so handsome, also is most popular guy of school and you are the most popular girl. Then why you rejected him??You guys would make IT COUPLE of school.

Anika(hitting pri lightly)- Yaar you are lowering my standards. I won't ever be with that idiot..... He is a playboy. He had kissed minimum 60% girls of our school and must have broken their aur heart .He is not my type.

Priyanka- Then What is your type??

Anika(dreamingly)- I want someone who will have his eyes only on me and no other women,the guy who respects me who values his and my family equally, consider me as his equal and love me unconditionally .

Priyanka- You know what Annii, you should marry my brother. He is exactly like you said. You will become my bhabhi too. And we will always be together.

Anika- ya we can try that. Even if I didn't like him and reject him, I will always be there for you.

Priyanka nodded but from that day she secretly wanted Anika for her Shivay bhaiya.
