This story is my favorite one of the entire lot. Read on to know more...  Made For Each Other Saahil and Priya studied in the same school. Priya was a year junior to Saahil and had a major crush on him since 6th grade. While most people would term it as a side-effect of raging hormones, this one was different. Saahil wasn’t exactly attracted to Priya and the gentleman that he was he didn’t want to disappoint her. So, he chose the harmless option of being “just friends”. Saahil never gave much of a thought to what he’d said but for Priya, it meant the whole world. Years rolled by. Saahil and Priya would talk for hours on the phone, meet up whenever possible and shared every single moment of happiness and sorrow with each other… all of it, being “just friends”!
