Chapter 1

Mahesh Singh and Raj Malhotra were best friends from highschool. They both attended college together. 

When Mahesh and Nisha met, they instantly felt an imaginary pull towards each other, they couldn't avoid each other, the relationship which started as a friendship turned into something more precious and valuable.

And Raj met Suman. They had some complications but it never got them separated or it was never that strong to destroy their love.

When they both got their life partners they married them together, toughing up their friendship. 

Even though Raj Malhotra was the son of the richest man in Asia, a complete contrast to Mahesh Singh's life, that huge difference never brought their friendship to the end of the road. They had their many fights but never a fight got them at the end of the road.

Mahesh and Nisha started working as employees in Malhotra enterprises. They got it from their hard work. They both started as accountants. 

Nisha, Mahesh's wife, was first to get pregnant with a baby boy and after 1 month of pregnancy Suman also got pregnant with a baby boy. Both the father's were on cloud nine. By giving them both sons at the same time God made their friendship stronger or unbreakable.

Hritik Singh and Vihaan Malhotra became friends. And the friendship between the Malhotra's and Singh's became stronger. 

After 3 months Nisha got pregnant with a baby girl. They were very happy.

Malhotra also wanted a second child so that vihaan gets a sibling but Suman was not healthy to get pregnant so they dropped their plan. But Mahesh told them that they can treat their baby girl Disha as their own daughter.

Disha was a very beautiful baby. Hritik and vihaan both became very possessive of her. They would never allow anyone near her. She was the apple of everyone's eyes.

Time skip-5 years.

(Disha 5 years, hritik 8 years and vihaan 8 years)

Disha was living in Malhotra's house for some days as the Singh family had to go to their village. Hritik has also gone with his parents. 

The Malhotra's were very much ready to spend time with Disha. Disha also liked them so she didn't make a fuss about being kept behind.

"Biyan biyannnnn. Where are you? '' Disha was calling vihaan as she wanted to play in the garden. 

Malhotra's house was a mansion in the outskirts of Delhi, away from the pollution. They had a very big garden, in which Disha always liked to play. After the garden there is a forest.

She was getting tired of finding him in this big house. As she was searching for him she came face to face with a boy. He was a 7 year old boy, with brown eyes and black hair.

"You are so cute" Disha blurted out. The boy was really cute. The said boy blushed. Disha found that very cute. 

Disha's eyes twinkled in happiness as she thought of playing with this boy, if Vihaan will not come to play with her then she will play with this boy.

"Hii." Disha murmurs, wanting to ask him to play with her after exchanging names.

"Hii." The boy replies. He has seen this girl a few times from a distance but he never thought that she could be this cute from this close.

"What's your name? My name is Disha." Disha introduces herself just like Raj Malhotra has taught her.

"Rishabh" he said blushing. He is the son of the head cook. As he wanted to help his mother he has been coming to the mansion since a few days, with his mother. 

But today his mother told him to play rather than helping her in house work. He was roaming in the mansion fascinated by the structure of the house because since the day he has started coming he never got the chance to explore this mansion.

"Do you want to play with me? Let's play hide and seek." Disha said excitedly, already deciding what to play.

"Um. Ok" he said as he also wanted to play with her as he found her very cute and pretty.

They ran towards the garden and started playing. Disha hid while Rishabh started seeking. A big smile was adorning Disha's face as she was having very fun with Rishabh. 

After one hour they had to put an end to their game as the sun was setting.

"Do you want to be friends with me?" Disha asked, embarrassed as she doesn't have friends. Vihaan is more like a brother to her and Hritik is her brother only.

"Yes. I would love to I-I mean why not." Rishabh fumbled,  loving the feeling of being called friends with her.

They bid goodbye as Rishabh had to go home. They both promised to meet tomorrow and play.

As the retracting finger vanished, Disha got sad. But after sometime she got happy as she realised she got her very first friend. "Now he will be my bff." Disha mumbled feeling giddy.

"Who is going to be your friend?" Disha flinches from a sudden voice. She turned and saw a black eyed boy. She throws herself on the boy. 

"Biyan I missed you." She said while hugging Vihaan tightly. She doesn't know why only his name she can't pronounce correctly and Vihaan never finds it offensive.

"I missed you too, buttercup." Vihaan said, hugging her. He really loves her but he thinks that it's in a brotherly way because he hates other girls.

“Where were you? I really missed you." She asked and parts away from him.

“I had my maths classes. Did you forget?" She bits her lips and shakes her sheepishly. 

"Now who is going to be your bff?" Vihaan asked. He really didn't like that word bff called from her mouth.

"Oh. He's name is Rishabh. I met him on the second floor while I was searching for you. We played hide and seek and talked a lot. He was very funny. He became my friend so as he is my only friend he will be my bff." she said while remembering her time with him.

But listening to this vihaan got angry. "You cannot be friends with him." he ordered her. He doesn't know why he doesn't like it when someone else talks to Disha especially when it is a boy. He doesn't get irritated when she talks with Hritik or anyone from his family.
