Chapter Four

I reached for the water bottle with difficulty and pouring some water on my hand I splashed it on her face “KRISTEN.”

She finally opened her eyes wide and staring at me asked “where am I? Who are you?”

“Thank god Kristen you are alright” I said embracing her tight.

“Who are you? Do I know you miss?” she pushed me away.

I was dumbfounded hearing her. I really couldn’t believe what she just said. I got speechless for a second thinking she might have lost her memory.

But suddenly she laughed out loud “God Prisha don’t ever make that face again you look so funny…”

I got up in annoyance “like really.”

I walked away from her towards the balcony.

“Where do you think you are going young lady?” Kristen walked ahead and stood on the door blocking my way.

“And here starts the drama of drama queen Kristen…” I rolled my eyes.

“Leave my way Kristen I am not going to talk with you ever again” I said trying to walk pass her.

She held her chest and said “god that hurts you stabbed me right on my heart Prisha… How can you be so cruel? I have a feeling that you are not my beastie…”

I rolled my eyes and walked back to my bed. She followed me there as well and sitting beside me she apologized “Okay fine fine I am sorry my angry bird…”

I glanced at her with my wide my eyes “Sorry for what?”

“Sorry for…” she scratched her head like she had forgotten something.

I rolled my eyes and looked away from her feeling irritated with her act.

“Um… I think I lost my memory just now by hitting my head. Could you please help me out and tell me why you are angry with me so that I can apologize to you?” she said pulling my arms.

“Whatever” I said retrieving my cell phone from nearby table.

“Come on Prisha don’t do this to me. You have the world’s super cool mom and you get angry with your best friend just because she told about your crush to her?”

With my eyes fixed on my phone I said “seems like someone has got back her memory.”

“I know give my phone back” I tried to reach my phone.

“Tell me one thing Prisha why you think I like your company and prefer to be your beastie?” she sounded serious.

“I don’t know why?” I said folding my arms fixing my eyes on her.

“God that hurts you don’t even know why I am your best friend” she said holding her chest. I took the chance and snatched my phone from her hand.

I began to scroll through my phone and the room suddenly drops into total silence. I glanced at Kristen through my side eyes and saw her sitting lowering her head, playing with her finger. I knew she would start her drama again with her favorite trick. She knows me very well that I couldn’t stand the silence of my talkative beastie.

So I kept my phone aside and wrapped my hand around her shoulder together “tell me my drama queen why do you like my company?”

“Leave it” she looked away struggling to free herself from my grip.

“I am sorry” I apologized catching my ears.

“For what?”

“For whatever is making you sad” I said pouting my lips.

“Yes, with all my heart” I said taking her hands on mine.

“Okay fine” she cheered up in no time and this is the best thing I like about her. No matter how mad she is with me once I apologize her with my heart she forgives me in a second and doesn’t keep any anger inside her. She is the girl with the cleanest and kind heart. I just love my beastie.

“So now will you tell me why do you like my company?” I asked.

“It’s because you belong to the most beautiful family who treats her friend as their own. And you know what I sometimes envy you for having such a lovely family which I lack in my life. So don’t get annoyed just because of things I told to mom. She didn’t even yell at you so there is nothing to get mad at your beastie” she said.

Actually she was right. Her family was very strict and she don’t have any freedom like I do. Her parents and mine parents are good family friend that is the only reason why she can come over to me anytime she likes or else she is not allowed to go anywhere unless it is with me and also until and unless my parents convince her parents.

“I know but I didn’t want her to know that Kristen. Privacy what we call” I said looking away from her.

“Okay fine from now onwards I will not tell such things to mom okay?”

“Promise” I lifted my pinky finger. She hooked her pinky finger with mine and said “I promise.”

“Oh! I love you…” I hugged her tight and she giggled like a baby “and you don’t have to be that mad at your parents whatever they do is just for your sake you know that right?” I tried to convince her.

“Yeah, I know but they don’t give my anytime for me neither I am free to say my opinions to them. They just know how to control my life” she said in upset tone.

“And that is why Prisha, me your beastie is in your life. Whenever they don’t give time I will be there for you haven’t I? And why do you have to feel that bad my parents are also your parents aren’t they?” I started my emotional blackmailing with sinister smile on my face.

“Yes, yes they are. Don’t go further with your emotional blackmailing” she said rolling her eyes.
