Once upon a time, in a land far far away from the maddening city, there lived a girl Kay, with her parents.
She was very close to her mother as she pampered her and never let her do much in household chores. Her father was a wise man, who kept a friendly relation yet was strict on her.
Kay loved her little village dearly, the nooks and corners of it beaconed her, and she never wanted to leave it. She felt a connection and sense of belonging for her village.
When Kay was a little girl she had small group of friends,and Charolette was the best she had. Chaolette was the ideal friend that we read about in books and write eassys about.
Charolette use to pick her up for school, shared her lunch and at times did her homework as well. They had the best of the times together.
But as she hit her teens,her father made her change the school which eventually made the group of friends grow bigger and few new ones were added and gradually Charolette got the backseat.
Although Kay remained in denial mood for ignoring Charolette , but the truth was out and about.
Kay found solace in new company she had, Bruna and Aanastesia. They had become the mainstay of her life, of course with few other additions and substations here and there.
The friendship and bond they had seemed invincible. They hangout at each other's place, went for movies shared secrets and laughed and what not!
As the times went by Kay grew older, her father realised that to make her a stronger and independent woman in future, he must sent her to big city for higher studies, to which Kay reluctantly agreed.
Thinking how difficult the life would be without her mother and outside her little village, and without her dear friends, she headed to the big city.
Keeping aside her apprehensions, she started her life with new hopes and dreams and whims and fancies in the big city and came across lot of other boys and girls from other villages.
And she struck a chord with two of them. Gloria and Ashton, and they three became the best of the friends and more like a family.
While Bruna and Aanastesia took the backseat she had a gala time with Gloria and Ashton and they had become like her siblings that she never had.
And just like Bruna's and Aanastesia's bond, their bond too seemed invincible and it looked like they will stay friends forever.
But slowly Anastesia vanished while Bruna became dormantly present, and Kay in her denial mood of ignoring anyone, grew further close to Ashton and Gloria.
Little did Ashton and Gloria knew, that soon she will meet new people and develop the same bond with them and move on in life.
And as the time passed by, and Kay became older the same cycle kept repeating every few years.
She met new people and grew bored of old ones.
Today while she was reciting bedtime stories to her granddaughter Emma, Emma asked
"Grandma! Who was your best friend?"
Kay got lost in her thoughts and after a while she said
"My Dear Honey, there were many. You know, the sitting arrangement in a flight, how the special people are being seated in first class and less special in business and than premium economy and lastly the economy.
In my flight of friendship many people have enjoyed the luxury of first class but sooner or later they were being downgraded to premium economy or economy to adjust new ones in first class.
So dear, there was one best friend for every timeline in my life."
