Saatvika then started telling me about two of her very good friends who were good friends themselves became prey to a misunderstanding and now they barely talk to or about each other.Let's give them some name just to keep their identity a secret ,as this might hurt their feelings.They were called Mithila and Raagini.
Saatvika met Mithila and Raagini when she was in class 9,she was new in the school and both were already studying in the same school ever since they started schooling,Saatvika noticed one thing that both cared a lot for each other and seemed like best friends,soon Saatvika became friends with them,and many others ,all of them different in nature and liking but hanged around together because of the bond of friendship.
Then came along Anushka who became good friends with the entire group,Anushka or Anu for short was a good natured happy-go-lucky girl,and she instantly became great friends with Mithila and Raagini.At first Saatvika,Mithila,Raagini and Anu all used to sit together and do things together ,then slowly Saatvika started feeling ignored and no doubt she was ,because may be the other three felt and thought alike,but Saatvika never minded.Then Saatvika ,Anu and Mithila came to know that Raagini was suffering from blood cancer!!
They were all shocked ,but Raagini took a promise from three of them that they will not tell anyone and will never show pity for her.The topic of Raagini's illness never surfaced from then on until Raagini would be ill in school.
Then started the problem,Anu was closer to Mithila as they both lived nearby and went to the same tuition classes,a kind of trend amongst students.This kind of sparked jealousy in Raagini,not because she was possessive but because she wanted to be closer to Anu .She started behaving like jerks and voicing her jealousy.She would complain that they two are engrossed with each other and do not care for her,every time Saatvika would try to say the same to Raagini,something would stop her,so just to get her out of her foul mood she would divert her mind towards other things,but these tricks didn't worked for long and Raagini would take her anger out in paper with poems that would all say just one thing that nobody cares for her,this would hurt Saatvika a lot, because she really cared for her.Time passed with bits of arguments and bits of fun.The group passed class9 and moved on to class 10.
Things started well,but Raagini's jealousy overtook her sanity,and she would burst out on the other three that they don't need her and yet they never let her be alone.One day Raagini fell really ill at school and the other three were just trying to help,but she got really angry for no reason, slapped Mithila in front of the entire class and stomped out of the classroom.
Mithila though good at heart was a human being,and felt really bad about the slap and swore never to talk to Raagini again.Raagini knew in her heart that she did wrong but her ego stopped her from saying sorry.But she had her reasons for slapping Mithila ,though very unreasonable,which she told Saatvika later when they were all in class 12.She couldn't bear for the others showing excessive care for her,and mistook it to be pity,this thought maddened her and she directed all her anger towards Mithila.
Time passed and they both would talk at times when there was no choice and they had to communicate by any means.Then something happened which gave the final blow to the already broken frienship.
It was before winter break ,Mithila did a terrible mistake,she along with a few others tore a chart telling the class time table,especially the mathematics part.
Why mathematics I asked,Saatvika told me then ,that the chart was made by one of their classmates who was always linked with their mathematics teacher.
After the vacations when everyone came back to school,the same mischief created drama,the chart girl started crying and accusing another mischievous group,Mithila was absent,the classteacher was about to punish the accused girls,when Raagini stood up and told the truth,Saatvika tried to stop her .
Raagini was a girl with strong ethics,wnd had the courage to apeak against the wrong.Satvika knew her values well,but she thought it wasn't a good idea to tell the truth when the classteacher was in such a foul mood.
Mithila when came back to school got punished.She blamed Raagini for it,and then they never talked.She misunderstood Raagini and saw that she did it but never saw WHY she did it.If by any chance anyone took the name of the other in front of one they would change the topic.Raagini detached herself from Anu as she was close to Mithila,Saatvika remained friends with all as she was always neutral.
Then in the end of class 11,Mithila admitted that she acted and Raagini and Mithila both said they wanted to talk .
Saatvika arranged a meet for them an they both talked ,no doubt they talked,but talked like strangers do,had many things in their hearts to say,which never reached their tongue.
Even nw on meetings of the entire group,in parties they talk but never seem to enjoy each other's company,it seems as ifthey feel awkward around each other.
This was the end of a great friendship in a most undesirable manner.
They both misunderstood each other and thus they are still suffering.
