Chapter One
It all started with a simple hello and ended in a thick friendship where every breath of your friend is counted. Every moment is felt. Every word is cherished and every thought is admired. This is the story of two friends who came together for a certain period of time to be bonded in a lifelong friendship. Yes! The story is about Simran, Raj and Sam.Simran is a very homely and simple being who tries to experiment her life in a completely different way contrast to what life she has lived till now.
Raj is a mature, handsome and famous guy is surrounded with all sorts of people who carry a false smile all the time is in need of genuine and simple love finds in Simran and gets attracted to her.
Sam is a little young and cute girl, a teenager and very intelligent becomes friendly to Simran on her foreign trip. Something was there in her similar to Raj which attracted Simran.
The two friends Simran and Raj were known to each other before she met Sam. It started with a simple admiration note only to turn into a passion and then care and finally love. Both the friends started interacting with each other. Both of them felt peace in each other's company even though it happened very passively from Raj.
Don't know but something was pushing Simran to the direction of her friend Raj. May be he loved her so much that automatically she is attracted to him or driven in that direction. It is he who loved her first. She starts typing the messages to him and each time the message is selected she is thrilled. Every day is fun only if she is in touch with her friend. She also likes him but respects him more. She gradually starts feeling for him. And she includes him in her prayers he is the first one who gets this privilege. The time passes like that. Meanwhile while interacting she gets her purpose in life. She always wanted to give the message of peace. She gets this opportunity now and she wants to utilise it to the maximum.
She is so happy to pass messages she feels connected. She gets a new Id too. She is now connected to her friend through music. Both the friends share the same passion for music. She enjoys her new self. She wants to have lots of fun and she does. Slowly Slowly she starts caring for him. She tries to find out more about him his likes, dislikes, his hobbies, his past, his friends, his interests everything. She wants to know more and more about him. She starts thinking about him.
She finds out many similarities between her and Raj. And she feels that they share equal interests. She finds their thoughts are matching too. It seems he doesn't mind her taking interest in him. It seems he likes her and finds her interesting. He gives all her comments. She is happy and discovers a new side of hers. She never knew that she also has this sense of humour.
She is changing ... Completely different to what she is! She now wants to be more sportive, she laughs, crack jokes, she pulls his legs through comments, and she really enjoys making him nervous. She takes care of herself now. She wants to look pretty. She feels attracted to him and starts thinking about him as a friend who is there to understand her to what she wants to say and also guide her when she is wrong. She thanks to almighty for giving her such a wonderful friend. She sends him cards, gifts, chocolates and flowers. She loves her friend so much.
She also gets one more way to be in touch with her friend. She joins a social networking site and her friend is happened to be there. It is here on this site she feels so close to her friend. Her life takes a new turn. She defines her goal. She feels like using this medium to help her spread her thoughts. She starts very right and also feels connected to her friend. She is so happy to share her thoughts. She is honest. She shares the story of a young girl and feels her thoughts to be matching of hers. She uses the words of that story to express herself. While sharing her thoughts she feels peaceful, relax and content.
Meanwhile she had to go out of the country on an important visit and may be for a long time. She just can't think of being away from her friend. It is only a matter of 15-20 days or so but she felt missing ... She sends Raj the message and takes leave for not being there. Till this time she didn't know how much she cares for him. Then when she goes abroad all the time she thinks of her friendship. She is amazed she wants to define what was happening to her. Why the thoughts of him with her? She is searching for the answers. Her thoughts are occupied by him. She wants to know what he think of her. She can figure out only this much that he has lot of care for her.
Now she realises when she is away from her friendship that how much she cares! During her stay there she meets a young girl called with love Sam. Both become friendly as if they know each other for long. She spends most of the time with her. In her company she feels she is ... happy! They play all sorts of games shares jokes discuss their likes and dislikes. She feels at ease with her. Most of the time she was with her may be searching for her friend. The time abroad passes quickly in her company. The time comes for her return. She is happy to go back but feels now to be away from Sam. She gives Sam the same Id which Raj gave to her. Thats her favourite ID and maybe she wanted Sam to share it. Also she wanted her to be in touch.
Simran comes back home and happy to interact again with Raj. She couldn't tell him how much she missed him. Life is back to normal for her but she didn't know then a big change was waiting to come in her life. She is very innocent she never think and act very honest. But destiny had some other plans for her. She was going to appear for a biggest test of her life. Everything is going to change for her. Simran as usual busy following her friend and passing messages. She thinks of Sam very often. One day she gets a mail from Sam and she is more than happy. She replies back. Don't know? But there was something regarding those mails she felt she is not receiving from Sam. Sam asked her about her age which she finds very odd. She was worried and doubtful so she tells Raj about this. Sam asks her to come on Chat which she agrees to later. But deep in her heart she was scared to talk to a stranger if that was not Sam. Sam fixes the timing for chat and she replies yes! Both the friends starts chatting ...
First Chat: It is a Friday afternoon. Both friends are ready to talk. Sam sends a confirmation mail for the chat. After wishing each other Sam tells her she is very interesting to that she replies to Sam even Sam is very interesting. But Simran finds it very formal and couldn't imagine Sam to talk so formal with her but then may be distance matters . . Then Sam asks her if she is alone at home to that she replies yes! But for one sec she feels very scared. One thing about Simran she is so engrossed in her friendship with Raj that she feels as if she is talking to him. But when Sam shares with her all the memories of her stay abroad she is confused. Suddenly her mood is off! She gives some excuse to Sam and cut short her chat but tells her to come next day. She is so much confused that why she is feeling so much love for Sam. Not that regular one but something very intense. She doesn't know why she is getting those feelings for that little girl. Something was definitely wrong with her. It was all because of Raj she feels that way but she is happy to talk to Sam because she was taking her there where perhaps she wanted to go ...
Chat II: Both friends meet again. Sam shares some jokes with her and also tells her to find jokes for her. So she does surfing and selects some jokes for her which she shares with her. But Simran is not at ease she only feels like sharing her friendship with her. Sam asks her about her mood to that she replies her mood is not that good when Sam asks why? Simran replies that she is missing her friend. Sam asks her who is her friend to that she says yes someone is there. Then Sam doesn't ask much. But she feels like telling her everything about Raj but then she waits for the next time. She feels Sam is the one with whom she can share her secrets. To change her mood Sam tells her more jokes she laughs her mood is ok to some extent. Sam talks about her school her friends her hobbies her family everything. But Simran was in her own world she listens to Sam but is very eager to tell her everything about Raj. Sam understands her silence and takes a leave.
Chat III: Simran is waiting for Sam to be online. Sam had told her that she can only talk to her in the evening because morning she goes to school. She waits in the evening for Sam. She feels as if Sam knows she is there online but purposely comes late. One more thing about Sam she comes to know she knows computer so well. Sam comes on chat first thing she asks about her mood? To that Simran replies Ok! But now straight way she tells her that she is missing her friend whom she has not yet met. Sam is surprised like anything she asks her how can it be possible if she has not met her friend how can she miss him. Simran tells her that to be true and she tells her she loves her friend so much. Sam shows as if she can't believe all that and she tells her not to talk silly. Sam must be shocked but she doesn't show. She tells her to talk something else. But she keeps on telling her about Raj only. Sam is tired of her talk and disconnect.
Chat IV: Once both the friends talk about their interests their likes and dislikes. They both have love for music. Sam asks Simran what type of music she likes? Simran replies Indian classical music. Then Simran asks Sam which music she prefers so Sam replies she likes western music and songs. Simran teases Sam and calls her an English man. Sam doesn't like it seems so she changes the topic. She asks Simran about books which books she likes so Simran tells her all types of books she reads. Simran asks Sam which books she likes so Sam replies she likes novel. But Sam suggests Simran books like 'twilight' 'moon' and 'eclipse'. May be Sam thought her to be very childish and feels Simran likes only books on the topic of love or she saw Simran discussing mostly love on her social profile. Whatever is the reason but Simran knew now that person not be Sam because Sam won't go for western music being so conservative or she won't read novel being so young. Once again Simran feels she is talking to someone very mature.
Chat V: This is a very passionate chat because first time Simran felt that she is not talking to Sam but somebody else may be Raj. Sam asks her if she can help her in her science project so Simran says why not. Sam tells her to wait so that she can send her the figure. Sam sends the figure via mail and when Simran sees that she is pleasantly surprised! She knew very well and could make out that all the scientific names were pasted on the body of topless male model. That was not the image generally used in science project. It was as if the male model was taken and the labels were pasted on him. First time she feels intimate to Sam but controls herself and reply very normal that just make a chart on the paper or cardboard. She also tells her she could have helped her in completing the project but she is very far from her. To this Sam replies Yes! You are very far you can't help. She understands everything she knows she is not talking to Sam because can't imagine Sam to flirt like this with her. But then who is that person Raj? Don't know why but again and again she feels only Raj can talk like that with her nobody else. She starts feeling love for Raj. She is waiting Sam to come next. She is also a bit scared because Sam being so simple and cute little girl will never send her that image ... And also to think suppose if that person is not Sam somebody else. But then she thinks how come he knows everything about her, her stay abroad, what she did? She thinks Sam shared it with someone? She is totally confused.
Chat VI: One more chat she remembers where she felt so close to Sam. That evening as usual both the friends were talking. Sam talks about her dad and bro. Then suddenly she tells Simran that I am very soft soft and only my dad and bro can touch me and then she tells Simran that only she can't touch her. Now Simran didn't know what to reply she was all loss of words ... She felt so much for Sam that day. Because she already knew Sam was not fat Sam was ditto like Simran thin and delicate. Now all the more Simran thinks there is someone other than Sam she was talking to. And she can't imagine that person to be other than Raj. She controls herself once again and tells Sam yeah! She knows she can't touch her. But at that moment she feels like running to that direction where Sam is and simply hug her friend tight and don't leave. She feels so much of love!
Special Chat: It was a cosy evening Sam was in a very good mood. She tells Simran to play eye-eye game. This game they used to play very often when they met abroad and really used to enjoy it. Always Simran used to win and Sam used to feel so upset. Except once or twice when Sam won she was very happy. Sam's eyes were so big and beautiful and Simran loved to just stare in those innocent eyes for a long time so not to blink. And Sam couldn't bear those sharp stare used to blink very often. That day when Sam tells her to play eye game Simran recalls all those moments which she had spent with her and was so much of fun. But now to play that game she felt so shy to think Raj is there on other side and teasing her. She agrees to Sam even though she couldn't see Sam, her beautiful eyes just peeped in front of her. Simran smiles she tries to concentrate. But thinking of Raj she feels so shy that automatically she looks down and her eyes blink. She tells Sam you win but Sam might have felt that way too so she says you win. That day first time Simran felt Raj's presence and she couldn't help but to be quiet and surrender.
ChatVII: In the beginning Simran finds Sam very honest to her and when Sam shares with her all the details she really feels wanted. One thing she likes about Sam that sometimes she talked so mature but then she just can't believe it to be Sam. One such occasion was when Sam informs her that there is a function in her dad's office next Sunday so she won't be there. She has to go out of town. Suddenly Simran feels very important also she feels that person to be Raj because no one can share the details with so much of fineness with her. And to imagine it to be Sam looked hardly possible. This Sam tells her in One week advance and that only Raj could do because he could only plan his schedules in advance she thinks like that. Any ways she feels very happy and proud of her friendship. She loved Sam more that day imagining her to be her Raj. One more important thing which forces Simran to think Sam is Raj that she had command over language and that perfectness was not possible for a sixth std girl. And also Simran had talked with her so much so she knew her fluency in English language. Simran was never careful about spellings during chat but Sam used to get really annoyed if she did any spelling error ... She used to actually shout at Simran and Simran used to feel so awkward and found Sam sound just like an editor of a news paper.
ChatVIII: Sam never took her name Simran finds this very odd. She thinks this can happen only if that person feels so close to her and feels love for her and to hide that love doesn't want to take her name. But then there was no need for Sam to think like that she had all the freedom to call her in whatever way she wants. Simran is forced to think she is talking to someone who is not comfortable in taking her name. So she asks Sam if she knows her name to that Sam replies yes and calls her by the name. Now Simran is really confused she feels may be Sam doesn't like her name so she asks Sam to give her a new name. Sam may be surprised she doesn't understand to why Simran is asking her about a new name. One more reason to why Simran forces Sam to suggest her some other name because she wanted that name to be only for her friend no one else to share that name. She wants only Sam to call her by that name and that will be very special to her. Why only name whatever her friend tells her she finds it very special and close to her heart. Yeah! So Sam sends her a list of few names via mail which she sees afterwards and becomes so happy because that list includes a name which was her favourite. Sam also suggests her favourite name. She replies to Sam and calls her darling for including her favourite name in the list. She also forces Sam to call her with this new name. Simran is more than happy to get the new name.
