Chapter 6 - Friend or Foe?
“Don’t try to act smart, Saima.” You didn’t even deserve that B+, it happened only because Fariha had helped you out.”


Saima seethed with rage every time she remembered last night’s conversation with her mother. Yes, it was true that accounting was not one of her best subjects, and she did seek advice from Fariha about a lot of the important chapters before the final doomsday, the paper-one of O-levels. Still, the “teacher’s pet” ended up with an A+, and she had to be satisfied with just a B+, a mere 70 percent out of hundred. Fariha was already in seventh heaven with a massive 85 percent. Why Oh Why?


Letter grades meant a lot to Saima. She belonged to the so called elite class people, where good results meant a sign of status. She owned an apartment in Gulshan, a posh area where almost all the embassies and the leading corporate companies were situated. Her family had sixteen of the most luxurious cars sitting in her garage; she was the heiress of a property worth millions. Everything a girl of her age could dream had come to her feet even before she asked.

“Hey Fari…how’s everything going on?” Saima rang up just to check on Miss Popular.
“Hey Sam, yes, everything going great…how are you?”
“You don’t want me to be good, do you? ” Saima thought out loud, which reached the other side of the phone as well.


Fariha could not comprehend the sudden transformation of her best friend amongst the girls. “Sam, are you okay?” She enquired, naturally a little bit panicked.
“Why would you care, Miss Popular?” Saima shouted, “go and rot in hell…you’ll never be happy, never ever!” Saima hung up with a bang.


Fariha despised being cursed, she hardly cursed anyone, as she believed whatever one does to others, is the same thing he or she gets back from the surroundings. She just sat in front of an open window, with a cold coffee. She just listlessly toyed with her curls, as flashbacks of some great moments spent with Saima kept coming back to her.

“What did I do to be cursed in such a rude way?” She wondered.


Fariha chose to avoid Saima for a few days from then on. She expected an apology from Saima, which did not come even after a fortnight. This time Fariha did not go first to solve the problem, which was against her nature. Sometimes, her heart just flew to her friend whenever she saw Saima sitting with a group of peers, chatting merrily just as before. Only Fariha could not share all the fun. She just hoped everything would come back to normal, soon.
