Being Your Friend

Are you crazy?

Nikhil questioned me again.

I am packing all my clothes and leaving town.

It was just for fun. His voice is casual.

How can it be so funny? Do you know what you have talked about me after drinking?

You said I am characterless in front of all those people. My voice is trembling.

Sid! It was not true. I might be overdosed and talked like that.

It happens in friendship. People comment on each other. He backed up some general statements to prove he was right.

No.Nihil.I do not want any relationship which doesn't respect me as a person.

Yes, I am a financially broken, unpopular writer and not so charming person like you.

But, you know what? I am your friend.

I have thought you wanted to be my friend by accepting me as who I am.

You just wanted to blame my life and attitude so easy for others' satisfaction. Being your friend I never wish your downfall.

I am leaving and I wish you all the best. Be happy.

I left the room with tears and full of anxiety in the heart.

Years passed.

I have selected myself before fake relationships and so-called society.

I am sure it was an important life choice I made. 

Choosing myself over everything.
