They had been there in the Apartment from their childhood, they were the same age, playmates, studying in the same class, in same school through the good times of their teens, and everything in between. They were each other's half and partner in everything, and they were the best friends and inseparable, and it was difficult to assess how special their bond truly was. Such was the friendship of Tapasee (Daughter of Manasi) and Debashree (Daughter of Rupa).
Both of them also witnessed their puberty stage when the first sign of their physical changes took place when their breasts starting to grow, getting their period (menstruation) and surprised to see more hair in places like under their arms and in their pubic areas. They understood each other of their puberty and physical changes. The developmental changes that occurred were complex, particularly with the onset of puberty. Teenagers usually used to select friends who had similar values and interests.
Tapasee and Debashree had similar aspirations, school results, spending much the same time in their homework together. Teens had an urgent need to belong. Both of them imitated each other, they would do the same things, talk the same way, hold same attitudes, dress in the same style, keep same interests.
Toward late teens, expectations of friendship varied from having somebody reliable and trustworthy, to the notion of sex, romance, filled with mystery and excitement. Puberty would launch intense interest in romantic relationships. As it was the flow in this stage of pre- and early teen years, romance used to come on the scene in the form of crushes, though there might be little contact with the object of infatuation. Young teens would be building confidence by dipping their toes in romantic waters by attracting strongly towards opposite sex.
But Debashree and Tapasee were totally contrast to this. Instead of finding attraction towards opposite sex, they were confined within themselves supported by strong friendships. During this stage, two young teens, Tapasee and Debashree often would find themselves in close relationships in terms of best friends, friendships that often continued through their childhood, and now in teen years and would continue beyond.
Having and sustaining these best-friend relationships in the teen years, hardly they were aware of the fact that they were heading a good predictor of successful adult romantic relationships. Little did these teen couple know that they were hooked up at an early age and stayed isolated, only spending most of their time with each other. By being isolated, it was evident that in future their romantic relationships would create a different dynamic, Intimate close friendships, and would be found across the life span, which first appeared during early teen stage. It was peculiar that they were not interested in boys.
In time, that confidence allowed teens like Tapasee and Debashree to resist peer opinion and choose romantic partners based on compatibility rather than social desirability. Their intense relationships had much to teach during their adolescents' stage about communication, emotion, empathy, identity, and sex. While these lessons would provide a valuable foundation for long-term relationships in adulthood.
The need for a close friend is especially strong during early adolescence. In adolescence, having a girlfriend could boost one's confidence. When relationships were characterized by intimacy and good communication, youth would be happier with themselves. Young people would always value the support, trust, and closeness they experienced in their relationships. Relationships could support sexual development, an important part of growing to adulthood.
Both Tapasee and Debashree had already started masturbation at the age of their 18 years. Both of them would discuss about this aspect as the masturbation was relieving them from the stress of studies. But both of them had never felt or needed a penis to enter in their holes, they were quite happy with their masturbations. Since they were very close, they would sometimes discuss about the growth of their private parts of each other, growing of their puffy nipples, and pubic hairs on the mounds, and the hidden clitoris in inner lips of their cunts.
Teens like Debashree and Tapasee who had close and trusting friendships were likely to have close and trusting romantic relationships as they had mutual trust, loyalty, and exclusivity as central to friendship. They would discuss secrets, exchange ideas, and share feelings in a secure and accepting environment, they would know each other's feelings and preferences, and would support each other emotionally and materially.

Their romantic relationship started accidentally when they were of 18 years.
The elders like Manasi and Pawan Kumar had stopped visiting park in evening. But Debashree and Tapasee would stroll around the park every evening. They would sit in the bench, watch the fountain in the midst of the park, and would gossip about various things.
It was a beautiful evening and as they entered the park, a gust of wind brought with it the lovely smell of leaves and moist earth as there was raining in afternoon. Debashree undid her bun and let the wind play with her hair; both of them looked unbelievably beautiful, ethereal almost. They went near to water pool, watching the ducks in water until the fountain in the middle caught their eyes. The wind over the water was making the spray from the fountain dance, literally. At one point it began a slow curve beginning at water level before it slowly climbed up, swung left at first, then twisted to the right and then swayed with the wind before coming back to rest on the water again.
"Did you see that?" Debashree asked, her eyes riveted on the fountain.
"Beautiful, wasn't it?" Tapasee replied, pleased that Debashree had noticed the same thing she had, realizing again that the simple things became even more beautiful when you had someone to share them with.
They stood there quietly for a while. The sky was dark and cloudy though it threatened to no rain, it was a perfect evening in the park. But the crowd had gradually increased in the round road surrounding the water pool and wide grassy field. There were joggers and cyclists and just a little wind, but no chill.
"Let's get out from here, it has become crowded and disturbing," said Tapasee.
Debashree grabbed her arm, saying, "True! Let us cross this road, and sit on the bench in our old place." indicating the dark place a little away from there with big trees surrounded by dense foliage and bush. Luckily, the bench in that shady place was vacant. Debashree began pulling Tapasee forward. Tapasee matched her stride to hers and they began to walk, avoiding joggers as they ran past.
They soon found themselves in their favorite place of emerald-green grass surrounded by a cluster of large trees.
"How lovely! Let's sit here," said Debashree and, walking ahead of Tapasee, found the vacant bench amongst nice patch of grass and sat down. Tapasee joined her.
"This is just awesome. Why cannot all places be like this? Everyone goes on and on about how crowded and noisy in all places, and yet, look at this! I can't think of a more beautiful place like this" said Tapasee.
"I love this place of park," replied Debashree.
After sitting for a while, Tapasee got up and moved towards backside surrounded on one side by a dense mass of trees and thick brush. There was particularly a large pine tree stood there, with a hole in its trunk.
Suddenly, Tapasee noticed a black trash bag was stashed inside the hole.
She exclaimed, "Ohh my god! What's this?"
She called, "Debashree, come here. Something is in the hole of the tree. Can you please check up?"
Debashree came nearer her, and observed the trash bag inside the hole. Someone had secretly hidden the bag inside the hole. She went nearer, touched and fondled the out surface of the bag.
"Hey, Tapasee, it seems some books are inside the bag. I am picking it outside to see the books," said Debashree and picked out the trash bag.
