Shattered Bonds: Babbu & Mehak’s Story
Chapter 1: The Beginning of Forever
There was a time when Babbu and Mehak were inseparable. They were the kind of friends who completed each other’s sentences, who laughed at the silliest things, and who knew every little detail about each other’s lives. Their friendship was the kind that people envied. It was pure, unbreakable—or so they thought.
They met in college, a friendship that blossomed from a simple assignment into a bond deeper than words could describe. Babbu, with his carefree nature and witty humor, balanced out Mehak’s quiet yet fierce personality. While Babbu was spontaneous, Mehak was a planner. Together, they created memories filled with long night talks, endless cups of chai, and dreams of a future where they would always have each other’s back.
“Some friendships are like poetry, beautiful yet incomplete. Some bonds are like the moon, glowing yet distant.”
Chapter 2: Cracks in the Glass
Time has a way of testing even the strongest of bonds. A small misunderstanding, a moment of silence stretched too long, a word spoken in haste—it can be enough to turn the closest of friends into strangers.
It started with something trivial, as most broken friendships do. A missed call, an unanswered text, a delay in meeting plans—small things that built up over time. Babbu felt Mehak was distancing herself, caught up in her new life, new friends, and a new routine. Mehak, on the other hand, felt Babbu was being too demanding, unable to understand that life was changing, that responsibilities were growing.
“When the heart is burdened with words unspoken, Even silence becomes a storm.”
One evening, after weeks of strained conversations, it finally broke. An argument erupted, one neither of them had intended, but both had fueled.
“You think I have changed, Babbu?” Mehak’s voice trembled with frustration. “Maybe you never tried to understand that I have responsibilities now!”
Babbu scoffed, hurt reflected in his eyes. “And you think I’m just some selfish person who wants attention? Mehak, I miss my friend! But it feels like she’s already gone.”
Words were exchanged, sharp and cold. They didn’t realize then that this fight would be their last real conversation. Neither of them reached out after that day.
Chapter 3: The Silent Distance
Days turned into weeks, weeks into months. The calls stopped, the texts faded, and soon, their once inseparable bond became nothing more than a memory.
Both wanted to reach out, to say something, to fix what was broken. But pride is a cruel thing. It keeps people apart even when their hearts ache for reunion.
Mehak often found herself scrolling through old messages, laughing at their silly conversations, and then sighing at how distant they had become. Babbu, too, found himself revisiting old places they had been to, hearing Mehak’s laughter in his mind, but never in reality.
“Sometimes, the deepest wounds are not from betrayal, But from the absence of the one who once mattered the most.”
They saw each other at mutual gatherings but never spoke. Their eyes met, but the warmth was gone. Only a heavy silence remained.
Chapter 4: The Unspoken Words
One day, Mehak walked into the café where they used to spend hours talking. She hadn’t been there in months. The place still smelled of fresh coffee and old memories.
She ordered her usual, and as she turned, her heart stopped. Babbu was there.
For a moment, time froze. Their eyes met.
A thousand words were left unsaid, a thousand apologies unspoken.
Babbu gave a small, almost sad smile. Mehak hesitated, her hands clenching her coffee cup.
She wanted to speak, to say something, anything. But something inside her held her back.
And just like that, the moment passed. Babbu looked away, and Mehak turned and walked out of the café, leaving behind the ghost of their friendship.
“Friendships don’t always end in fights, Sometimes, they fade away in silence.”
Chapter 5: The Pain of What Could Have Been
Life moved on, but some voids remain unfilled. There were moments when Babbu wanted to dial Mehak’s number, and times when Mehak almost typed a message but deleted it before sending.
Perhaps they both knew that no apology could bring back what was lost.
Perhaps they both wished they had held on just a little longer.
But in the end, all they had were memories.
“Not all endings are bitter, Some are just unfinished stories waiting for a new chapter.”
Epilogue: The Unfinished Chapter
Babbu and Mehak were no longer best friends, but deep down, they still wished the best for each other. Sometimes, she would hear his name in a conversation and smile sadly. Sometimes, he would hear her laughter in a crowd and feel an ache in his heart.
They had lost each other to time, misunderstandings, and unspoken words. But their story was still alive in their hearts, an unfinished chapter that perhaps, one day, fate might decide to rewrite.
“Some friendships don’t die, they just rest, Waiting for the day two hearts find their way back.”
