The lie of friend

Nahi woke up to a normal morning, or so it seemed. Her sister, Ohani, and her friends were waiting outside, when she saw them from the window eager to celebrate Nahi's birthday. As Nahi got ready, Ohani suggested they walk to school together, but Nahi declined, saying she had to visit her friend Rounho's house first.

As Nahi walked to school, she took a wrong turn,to avoid her sister, making her late. She entered the classroom, out of breath, when her seat at the back was already occupied and was greeted by her teacher, who pointed out that she had changed her seat. The teacher asked the class to share their friends' names, but Nahi remained silent. Her classmates teased her, saying she never talked much. The teacher left saying she wanted a answer till this weekend.

During breaktime, the class wanted nahi to joine them. Nahi struggled to join in with her classmates' games, feeling awkward and out of place. Just as she was about to give up, a senior girl approached her, asking if she was okay. Nahi brushed it off, saying she was just stressed about an upcoming test on this weekend. The senior girl offered to help her with her and invited her to the canteen.

Nahi declined, saying she had to meet Rounho,showing her message
"Im free lets meet come to my class"
but the senior girl's words lingered in her mind."ill wait for you ....."
While the other part which tells when and where she could'nt hear it When the break ended, Nahi's classmates asked why she had left the game early. She made up a story about a friend calling her.Again showing the message from rounho.

As the school day ended, two girls approached Nahi, offering to walk with her. She couldn't refuse, knowing her sister had already left. When they saw the senior girl , Nahi quickly said she had to meet a friend and rushed off.

The senior girl was waiting for her , where she handed Nahi a book and patted her head. Nahi's classmates had been wondering if she was Rounho whom nahi always mention, and now they were even more curious to meet her.

That night, Nahi's sister and cousins surprised her with a birthday party. As they asked her about her school friends, Nahi began to spin a tale about Rounho, describing her as smart, beautiful, and athletic. But when her sister asked to meet Rounho, Nahi excused herself.
As her phone rang she left the house while she cancle a call from rounho
She met the same senior girl at the park, who asked why she was alone. Nahi said she was waiting for a friend. As Nahi walked away, she bumped into her classmates, who asked to join them as one of them headed close to nahi was seen by the senior from the back when she turn saying "so rounho really came ,i want to meet her to"Spending some time with the classfellow nahi ran out with the same phone call trick .On her way back home she saw two girls one of them was drunk and the second one was hardly carrying her when nahi joined to help her, leading to the way where she told her sister that rounho live .On leaving the girl house the other girl hugged nahi saying " thank you"when ohani from back called out "nahi lets go" . on there way back ohani asked if the girl earlier was rounho ,she wanted to meet her.nahi left saying no .

The next day, Nahi's classmates approached her, she just left the classroom reaching out side the senior classroom but could'nt get in. Just as she was about to give in, the senior girl intervened, introducing her as a friend from the junior class.

As Nahi handed over the notes she gave her for the upcoming test preparation the senior girl had given her, senior asked her to give to her sister whom was the girl from her class.
At night sitting with her sister the name from nahi friend story just change from rounho to rose when her sister screamed the girl from birthday night
"Oh yes" nahi was relax as she dont had to cover up.
That night, Nahi opened a fake chat app on her phone, creating a fictional conversation with Rounho, and adds call timing . She added a second contact, Rose, and wondered if a perfect girl like Rounho could really exist.A girl who is perfect ,happy, is pretty as visual and from heart,is a genius, always smiles saying smiles she make a strange sound "Arh" .No a perfect girl like i created rounho can't be real . As she lay in bed, the voices everyone echoed in her mind, all asking to meet Rounho.

Nahi screamed into her pillow, "Let me meet her first!"
That lie had become too much to bear.

Yes, lies can be hard to keep up with. The great thing about telling the truth is that you don't have to remember what you said before! This was a good story even though the grammar Sony made it a little hard to follow. In a way, though, that actually made it more interesting.
