Sacche dost bharosa nahi karte by Juhi Meshram

Let me tell you a tale of true friendship. Three friends met in their college campus after one year of completing college. They decided to revisit old places to rejuvenate their college days. During their day tour they stopped at a tapri near airport for chai and maggie when it started raining. Enjoying rain and nostalgia when another group of some college friends arrived, they were mused with the thoughts of their own happy days. In between talking about past days and checking out the other group it was time for them to go their separate ways. So, Sudeep decided to drop his friends, Shristi and Juhi to railway station in his car. A ride home just like old days. They were listening to rainy songs and talking about college time crushes when Shristi asked Sudeep if he had her power bank to which he simply denied. And Shristi thought he was lying just to tease her. So she concluded he had it but was not telling her to which he denied again. Shristi then asked Juhi who was sitting next to her for her remark on the topic to which she agreed saying, “he must have it, he is smiling weirdly.” Sudeep, who again simply denied their claims smiling even more weirdly. He said Shristi herself took the power bank and was just messing with him. Between all the claims of who had it or not they drove 4 miles when Shristi asked again, this time controlling her laugh, “yaar ab to station pahuchne wale hai ab to bata de kaha rkha hai.” And Sudeep laughing even more with a perfectly denying body language said, “nahi hai bhai mere pas sachme, mujhe lga tu bs mujhe pareshan krne ke liye bol rahi.” 

Three friends, who knew each other for five years and understood each other in every ups and downs were here, confidently blaming each other for taking the power bank and confidently distrusting the other person. Juhi, breaking their never ending blame game uttered, “ek min! sach batao tum dono me se kiske pas hai?” There was silence for a complete minute. It was then when they realized none of them had it and they probably left it in tapri. They looked at one another and screamed, “holy shit” They drove back, got the power bank from tapri (which the tapriwala readily handed to them) and then back to railway station laughing at their own stupidity. 

The thing to understand here is that no matter what, true friends don’t trust each other but they believe each other’s truths to be lies. And the thing to learn here is that when your friend says he hasn’t done something just trust him for once, it might save you some fuel.
