The crack in our friendship.

I didn’t want to follow them. But I couldn’t stay. The questions stuck around my head. Why Toko did that? Isn't he my best friend?

I had to find out what was going on. So I followed Toko. Nayla told she would be at the coffe shop. I didn’t told Toko that.

He headed to the super market. Naila surely wasn’t there. Toko waited for sometimes then opened his phone.

He was like shocked seeing phone. He immediately left the super market and reached the coffee shop.

I was sitting beside a corner. They couldn’t see me but I could hear them. They were like quarreling. A sweet quarrel only the dearest could do.

"Why are you late? I was waiting for 20 minutes."

"You said we will meet at the super market. I went there."

"I messaged you to come here instead. And...also I told your best friend.. What was his name?...I can't remember.. Umm...forget it. The one who got my diary back. I told him to inform you."

"You told him we are going out?!"

"Yeah..anything wrong about that?"

"I...does he know we are meeting here? "

"Yes..he knows. Any problem?"

" No..no problem..but don't tell him about us. Ok?"

"Okay..but isn’t he your best friend? "

"Yeah..he is. That's why don't tell him."

"I can't understand."

"I didn't actually tell my friends that I am dating you. You know how they are...they will be just a disturbance. Nothing more. "

" ok..I like your secret dating idea."

"Please..tell him that you were just joking..and we didn’t meet here. Ok?"

"Ok..no problem."

I listened what I shouldn’t,

But did what I couldn’t.

At night, Nayla texted me. I don't know where she got my account. Maybe Toko gave her.

My crush texted me for the first time but I wasn’t happy.

" Hey..remember me...I'm Nayla..I pranked you today at school cafe. I didn’t go anywhere with Toko today. I like to prank people. Hope you don’t mind."

Yeah, you pranked me this time.

I didn't want to reply Toko. He texted me like everyday.

"Hey..what's up?"

If I don’t reply, he will think I have known everything. So I replied.

"All good. What about you?"

He replied immediately. Maybe he was waiting for my reply.

" I'm ok too."

" How was your match?"

" What match?"

" Football match."

" Oh..It got cancelled. "

" O..sad."

" Yeah. Hey I heard Nayla told you something."

" She pranked me today."

" What are you saying? How?"

" She said she was going out with you."

" It was a horrible prank. Did you believe it?"

I didn’t know what to reply. Toko couldn’t wait. He texted, " There is no way I would do that. You know that right?"

"Yeah..You promised on our friendship. "

I could sense there started a fracture in our friendship. I didn’t know where it all was going.
