REQUITER FRIENDSHIP

It has been four years of our friendship and nobody can tell by looking at us that we were like north and south poles. i still remember the day we just met eyes and did not expected you this far. Luther and your all friends were sitting near the pool and enjoying drinks. i came with my friends to the party wearing a short red floral midi dress and white shoes. i saw you there wearing half sleeve yellow shirt, shorts and slippers. we glared at each other for a milliseconds and turned away. Maria my friend is a common friend of both of us and she introduced you and me. At that time I didn't thought an unexpected incident is going to happen which would change my entire life. i was welcoming an embarrassing moment in my life after an hour. Maria said, 'hey Luther meet my best friend Dailia the one i told you about.' I said, 'hello Luther, how are you doing?' he said, 'hi Dailia i am very well doing in my life.' want to be part of it or are you single or looking for fling... i responded like Janice character in New York comedy sitcom "Friends" oh my god! All started laughing and Luther said that’s a nice one. I said that come on Luther don't flirt we just met and answers to your questions are a big NO. everything is no i am single not looking for any fling or kind of one night stand. Luther got astonished by my statement. He told that he  didn’t expected that this word is coming and asked  whether British girls know about that word even?

I laughed hahah very loud. I said there are lots of things you don't know about British and me. I know lot better than Britishers wanna know ! I know I flirted back with a wink J at him. He smiled and blushed. Before something he thinks and happens my bestie Maria took me near the pool where all were drunk and kind of dipping. I wore a midi dress and maria was asking me to come into the pool. She told me she has put bikini into my bag and asked me to go up and change as soon as possible. I checked my bag as there was lots of makeups and keys you know ‘girls bag is a mystery’. Finally I got them and asked one of the girl rolling here and there, she gave me directions like go up the stairs and make a right turn will take you to the restroom. I was little confused my head started rolling as soon as   I entered inside the house there was smoking smoke pot ,few were drinking and playing which gave me chills and excitement running through my spine. I went up and followed the directions and yes I found it. I entered without pounding the door and looked up where there were couples who were tasting each other. One of the restroom was quite big and have enough place where I can change and I started doing that. I didn’t know someone was there already getting ready for the dipping. I took my midi and my inner wears, suddenly he came and saw me , I startled and panicking at the moment and shouting why the heck you are here get away, stay away from me ,just close your eyes … after all my saying I stopped undressing and wearing again the dress. I shouted again what are you looking at ? he just said only one word after all this mess WOW! I was angry and didn’t get why he is being creepy ? I again said get the hell out of here . he told calm down and sorry I didn’t know you are there and went immediately out the restroom. I don’t know what i have done and how will I face him after this moment. This feeling is because its been 5 years when I graduated and had flings or short term relationships and kind of casual too. In these years I didn’t dated or come along with any guy , in far way university I used to be kind of proud of my body ( I know its really stupid but yeah!). I mean everyone used to fall for me easily, didn’t took any rejections. And now after these years I have forgotten how I was and me in present day shaming of my body . I shouldn’t but cant help. For last 20 minutes I was rewinding my years and thinking about it. And finally got the answers lets forget what today happened as well as in past. People change and act according the situation and I panicked and that’s it .

A word still striking in my mind that’s WOW the word came out of his mouth made me feel like I am again 18 not feeling tired of my life , felt free of tensions of tomorrow. I changed my clothes and went outside. All were gazing at me but I didn’t care much. I came outside and met eyes with Luther where he is feeling ashamed of what he did and kind of frightened too as he thought now he lost a place of respect in my eyes. I didn’t said anything and jumped directly into the pool saying my name. woowowowo we both shouted had drinks and partying very bad. When it comes to party and drinking I am hell bad . no I don’t puke it’s just I feel very hot and take out all my clothes but geez this time I thought not too, Or someone can save me from all this. My booze was all finished, went near the bar and asked the bartender to give 4 shots. Luther saw me approaching, sat down beside me and said i am so sorry for behaving and after you kept saying me to go out, I didn’t go. I didn’t responded anything. I liked the fact when he apologized but still I am hurt because I didn’t expected this to happen. Sometimes or somewhere few situation takes that long cut where you don't expect you to behave normally and here I come. I am bad at listening apologies, can make me rude or overreacting. But I feel bad about being this way. So he keep explaining about the incident and how he feeling like a retarded person. He kept on apologizing and expecting me to say something but I didn’t. I saw him in his eyes and stared at least for 30 seconds and said its ok Luther don't be sorry, said let It be like this only. If you keep apologizing it will make me feel more ashamed. I said Luther  I want to offer you something if you want to reimburse for the mistake you did. He said he will do everything but cant fall in love with me. I laughed and said you don't have to fall in love with me I am asking will you be my friend??? Can we be friends?

He was stunned by this, thought am I alright! He told  why friends?  I said more than a lover we want a friend always or more precisely a soulmate who can understand you and don't judge you at any point of time. We find lovers or boyfriends but we lack a friend in them. And I want a friend in happy and sad moments but not lovers. Are you fine with it? As soon as he listened it he assures me that when he ever gets feeling about me in another sense he will go away or break up. I think he is stupid in some ways haha hahah. We had games and shots simultaneously. We did dipping together he dropped me at my home. Feeling ashamed of myself made me feel depressed but I overcame it. The day spent well few mischievous happened but I found a friend in a stranger. People around the globe will be thinking that how come I found a friend in a stranger with whom this all happened if we tell our story how we met. I think people in this world is searching more of boyfriends but there is no friend in them. Luther and I don't feel friend zoned we know boundaries. He told me why he didn’t me to fall in love with him. Its not he is gay he told he wants a friend not a lover. He has been in relationship with a girl to whom he loved and were going to get married but a tragic accident reshaped his life. He met with an accident and was bedridden for 2 years. Doctors even lost the hope of me due to ruptured spine. But he didn’t lost hope and after surgeries and today he is here. I asked where is the girl ? did she left you? With a big smile on his face and twinkling tears defending her step of leaving him made me realize how much he loved her. She didn’t leave me she got married and I am happy that she is leading a very good life with her best man. He told me that what he lacked was a friend in girlfriend and lover of his life. She came to meet me, she was crying but after listening to the doctor she said I love you baby but I don't think I can wait for 2 years. And she left but I keep defending her because I love her. But now I am not looking for any girl. He said that he has never met my soulmate and want one. Luther appreciates me for not blushing at the moment he tried to flirt with me on the very first day. He says many girls try to get into me but I am not interested. All here want to have physical relation but not emotional relation. People have lots of followers on social media or friends but no one come near you when you need to hug somebody in sad or happy moments. And there when you approached me I felt somebody is there who wants to have a genuine connection not fake.

 From that day we enjoyed every bit of life moments. Never cared what people thought about us. I learnt that we can live without lovers but we can’t live without a person who knows you in and out, your weakness and strengths. And know how to deal with them. Fights happened, resolved next moment and it’s been 4 years of our fast friendships that lead us here without any regrets. We kept our promises and he repaid me in this way. I have forgiven him. I  love him yes I love him and I know I can’t find a mate like him now anywhere because I already have the best one. And that day and today is our friendship day 4^th anniversary we both will be celebrating with the same effort and with same feeling of respect and togetherness.

Transition from two absolute strangers to requiter friends or more precisely fast friends.

Wish all the fast friends a very happy friendships to them!
