Wish that came true :)

Some wishes when fulfilled gives you so much joy that can't be expressed in words.  
My one wish that came true and gave me immense joy was when i got my best friend back. 

I spent two years wondering what went wrong between us, why she was angry with me..i blamed myself that maybe i had done something wrong. But in these 2 years all i wished was that for once she came and talked to me so that we could sort out things. Even in those two years, she used to wish me on my birthday, or when my semester results were announced but never for once she came and talked to me personally. I felt bad, real bad not only because i had lost my best friend but because i knew that she knew, i being an introvert would never be able to talk to her and despite that she never took the first step towards mending our relation. I used to cry on my birthdays, i used to cry whenever her topic came, i just wished she knew how much she mattered to me. I hoped that someday we will be friends like before. I missed her, i missed the sandwiches she used to make for me, i used to miss all the crazy things we did. I wanted to go and confront her but when i saw that she was happy with her other friends, i just couldn't gather the courage to spoil her happiness.

But life surprises you with something good when you least expect it. Two years later when college ended, i messaged her and poured my heart out, and the funny thing was she was never angry with me!! All these years she too wanted to talk to me, she too wanted to end every misunderstanding, she too suffered as i did, she too wished that i talk to her just once! And if hadn't messaged her that day , maybe i would have never found out the truth. If i would have gathered the courage before, may be we would have never grown apart in the first place!

We lost two years of our beautiful friendship and that too because of a stupid misunderstanding by a third person!! The day i learned the truth i was on seventh cloud!! My best friend was back in my life..but yeah the two years we lost changed the equation we had..but it doesn't take much time for two best friends to bounce back and be crazy like before ;) 

"when destiny forgets to tie some people in blood relations, it corrects its mistake by making them great friends"

Sometimes in life, you reach a point where some misunderstandings ruin your relationship with people who mean the world to you and the most frustrating part is when you don't even know the reason why you grew apart. 

It just happens out of the blue. Suddenly one day, two best friends decide to stop talking to each other. Why it happened? How it happened? No one knows. Though they both still care for each other. They feel happy when something good happens in other person's life, they wish each other on birthdays, but still they don't have the courage to go and talk to that person. What is it that stops them? 

Ego? Friendship and ego don't go hand in hand.. 

Fear of not being understood? Maybe..

They spend all their time thinking about each other, cry their nights away, fight with God as to why he made them best friends-turned-strangers; without realizing that everything can be sorted out if just for once they sit face-to-face and talk. You realize the real worth of a person when that person is no longer a part of your life. You realize how much he/she means to you when you spend night after night just wishing for them to be back.  

Life gave me a second chance but not everyone is that lucky. Never ever let go of a relationship due to misunderstandings. Talk, fight, scream, cry.. but don't just let it go so easily.
