CHAPTER 4
Samyukta is really proud of her friends she has got. She feels lucky to have her two best friends, Chitra and Dipika. They are her childhood school best friends.
Three of them are together since years. Samyukta trust them , understands them. She wants both of them should remain with her until life is.
But it didn't happened.
It's the month of May 2020. Samyukta's birthday is on 3 may. On this occasion Dipika posts Samyukta's ugly picture on WhatsApp, one day before her birthday. She vehemently opposed doing such thing.
She messaged Dipika
"Please delete my picture"
Dipika didn't replied.
"Dipika delete my picture" Samyukta messaged again.
"Samyukta behave." Dipika replied getting annoyed by samyukta's frequent message.
Dipika deleted that picture by messaging
"Relax Samyukta it's not that bad"
Samyukta didn't liked dipika's this behaviour. Who gets so offended in deleting a picture.
Clock striked 12'0 clock. It's now 3 may. Samyukta's birthday. Dipika called samyukta to wish her. But it was merely not a wish. Dipika argued over deleting a picture. She said that it was not bad as you were reacting.
Samyukta said "If I didn't liked then what's point of putting my picture then." A small argument arised and Samyukta kept the call as there were other calls coming.
Two days after Chitra called Samyukta. She said that Dipika had made a group of three, her , Dipika and Samyukta's ex boyfriend Shivansh.
It was astonishing. From where her ex boyfriend came in. How he entered in this trio friendship.
Also Chitra shared some screenshots which was deceving for Samyukta.Screenshot was a WhatsApp conversation between Dipika and Samyukta's ex boyfriend. In which Dipika replied to Shaivansh that
"I don't talk to Samyukta. I had a fight with her."
"Also I don't give a fuck and don't support wrong people."
"Dipika ji if I am creating any problem in your friendship then you can block me." Shivansh said like in naviety.
Seeing this samyukta thought in Herself.
You have already created problem dude that's why my best friend has messaged you and resembling me as wrong person.
How can a best friend say you as Wrong person infront of a stranger or maybe who has just come in.
Samyukta also got to know about the group of trio Dipika, chitra and Shivansh. She got the screenshots of the group that Chitra shared.
In that group Dipika , chitra and Shivansh discussed about What's cooked in dinner , whats going on and other informal talks.
It was so offending for samyukta that Dipika argued with her on one hand and celebrating special friendship with her ex boyfriend on the other.
Chitra on the other hand was unaware of whats going on. She was in the group so she shared the screenshots to samyukta.
For samyukta it was water rised above the level. She was not able to believe her best friend is deceving her with a person who hurt samyukta , years back.
They were never my friend if they would have been , they would have not done it.
Samyukta instantly messaged Chitra and Dipika that not to contact her again from now. She wrote that she is done with friendships now.
Chitra and Dipika read this message. Seeing this they deleted the group they made with Shivansh.
Samyukta blocked both of them. She blocked chitra also because if chitra would have been loyal then she should have scolded Dipika for playing such game.
Yes she showed loyalty by sharing Screenshots. Thats what loyal friends do.
One month passed.
Chitra and Dipika came to samyukta's home after getting offended by Samyukta's visiting Chitra's home to give her back her file which she has taken from chitra to complete her file.
They both came at her home. Samyukta was astonished to see how can anybody be so unmannered and shameless to forcefully come to somebody's home even of a friend.
They both were with scooty. They started shouting, standing on Samyukta's doorstep.
"Come with us to the park. Otherwise it will be your bad." Chitra intimidated Samyukta as she was standing at her main gate of her home.
They also abused her in the name of caste before this over call. They abused her with bad words.
Samyukta was getting embarassed as they frowning at her standing in her colony infront of her home.
Samyukta warned both of them to not to shout as neighbours are watching us and we can talk over it inside.
But they were not ready to listen.
Silence is the best reply to a fool.
Samyukta simply closed her main gate and went inside her home. Let. them be at peace outside her home. They themselves will get embarrassed and will walk away.
They waited till one hour. Standing silently and watching at Samyukta's main gate. But Samyukta didn't cane outside.
Both of them went.
They both also body shamed samyukta . Making joke of her height and thinness, as they both were tall.
That friend who can't respect your identity, who can love you for what you are, they can never be your friend.
After this incident samyukta cried alot. She thought she had done wrong by not opening the gate and let them in to talk.
She wrote in her diary at the same night.
" Dear dairy,
I am broken. I am hurt. My friends whom I loved so much , they kept so much grudge for me that they abused me in the name of my caste , abused me like hell, fighting with me in the favour of Shivansh who body shamed me ruthlessly. Why I didn't felt , that they are kind of back bitchers.
But now I know na. Today's incident is an evidence that they are were and are not worthy for me in anyway round. I should be happy that finally I am away from toxic friendships. Still why I am not happy. It's because I gave my best , I was loyal , I understood them. The biggest mistake I did is that I ignored there body shaming by thinking that it is just a friendly stuffs ,it happens in friendship and today I could see it's results.
That moment in which your friend , boyfriend embarrassed you , insulted you, put your morale down to make themselves up never ignore that thing. Because they are like that that's why they are behaving like that. Not it's not being judgemental , its analysing. If I would have analysed I would have not suffered there cheating that they did.
Now no more sadness. What happened , happened for good. I thank God for showing me the real face of my fake friends.
It is just a beginning. I have lot to see. N now I know how to fight with it. I got a lesson about my value that How important is to recognise your value whether in friendship, relationship, family , work at the social place. Value can be recognised by only asking one question
Is that anyone will get affected by my absence ? Or is there anyone who get afflicted by my presence and absence ?
It's the only way to know your value. I got a lesson from now.
So what happened, just leaving to this night only. Because it's my rule to start a day smiling and shinning. I cannot break it.
Bye. Diary. Thats all for Today."
