We all have that one friend that we depend on for sharing our special moments with. We intimate them with all our daily shenanigans, no matter how minute they might be. Nonetheless, Men and women both who then get involved in a relationship find themselves in a rather difficult situation. They are caught in a dilemma. It’s an enigma, a war between everlasting love for your friend and the new found affection for your bae.

In Pakistan, relationship is a huge taboo. Everyone is more interested in your love life than their own. They’ll gossip about you sitting alone with your partner while holding the hands of their own girlfriend on a date. All in all, it is hard, hard to have a bachi or bacha in this judgmental society. The only ray of hope in the disapproving world of ours is your best friend. The one you call your ‘Bhai’ (Behan in the case of women, yes we are gender neutral here at Orange ink). From here starts, the historic Bhai vs Bachi clash. Priorities change, habits change, people change, oh and the fun begins.

It all starts that one day when you develop a crush for somebody and introduce that face to your friend. Your friend who also had that name included in his crush list, starts calling her Bhabhi as she’s off the table now. He now works with full dedication to help you not get ‘friend zoned’, hence, the bro code. Now that everything is settled, a new problem comes up. You start spending more time with her, sacrifice you FIFA time for talking your ‘baby’ to sleep. So, the friend that set you up, has now himself, become the bachi.

So you feel bad. You realize that you have in fact sidelined your friendship completely and then you go into the emotional headspace with ‘Yeh Dosti’ being played in the background. (Go ahead, Cry me a river). However, this still doesn’t solve the problem. It actually amplifies it. It’s now time for the other party to screw you. Statements like ‘you’ve changed’, you’re no longer into me, ‘shaadi bhi usi se krna’ will be thrown like punches at you. It’s a dark alley, we won’t lie.

So yes my friend, you have guessed it right. There is….no escape. Just pray that you get understanding parties at both end. This is the only way to get your ass saved. Our advice to you however, will be to not lose your ground and be patient. Becauseit’s a warthat only ends when you end.
