They say,
You're not best friends if you didn't hate each other when you first met.
That's how our story started!

"Best App project" was an annual fiesta in our college. She was smart, intelligent girl always exceeding in her academics. When it comes to her friends, she was a gem - the best friend anyone wished for. And how can I forget about her love - Coding, she was an obvious contestant for this popular event.
Well, about me - I was an average , aah! okay, above average & hard-working ; had a few friends as it takes time to break the ice. I decided to take part in this event but I didn't have a partner nor the idea. One our common friend told me that she was looking for a partner in this project but warned me.
Wait! What! A warning!!!
My previous participation in events and winning a few had made her think that I am competing with her. COMPETITION!!! Hell! There is no competition between us. I wanted to talk to her and sort things out but she ignored me like always. Wait! She ignored me previously and I didn't even know about this.
Sounds too filmy, well! Let's continue.
I asked our common friend about talking about it with her and clear things out on my behalf. What I hear next!
** Slap ** A mere mention of my name. This was pretty serious.
I chose to ignore and move on. Planned to withdraw my name from this event since I didn't have a "Project Idea" nor a partner and obvious choice of a partner for her would be our common friend and obviously not me!
Days passed by, we were busy with our normal routines separately.
One day, our common friend and I were going out for a lunch, when she asked me for help. I offered to help her as much as possible. She was talking about their project and something they were stuck on. We discussed about the problem and its possible solution. We were going back to our college I warned her about disclosing who helped them with their problem. She thanked me for reminding and we burst out laughing remembering "The mighty slap" episode.
They submitted their project. Unfortunately, they could not win but were highly appreciated for their idea. I went and congratulated them for their effort. To my surprise, she responded with a 'Thank you'.
It was that day and today she is my bridesmaid walking besides me in the altar. Telling me that she knew about my significant help in her college project and now she really appreciates it. Wait! She didn't tell me about this in all those years of our friendship and I used to think that it was volte-face about me.
What happened in between is a pure love story - FRIENDSHIP.
You took my hand and showed me the way,
when I was blinded by unfortunate fate.
You took my hand and prayed with me,
while my troubles quickly faded away.
You took my hand and dried my tears,
when I cried over it all.
You took my hand and helped me understand,
when I questioned our almighty one.
You took my hand and made me promise,
I’d never walk alone again.
You took my hand and mended my friendship,
when I was too stubborn to say anything.
You took my hand and made me laugh,
when we remembered our funny mistakes.
You took my hand and made me see,
that God has a special plan for me.
Now take my hand and never let go,
because our friendship means more than you’ll ever know!!
Once in a while right in the middle of ordinary life, love gives us a fairytale.

P.S : This is not my story as I don't believe in "BEST FRIEND" kind of a concept!
