One fine day during spring, two kids entered the park with diamond sparkling eyes. Both of them had pestered their parents to bring them to play just as soon as the clouds had stopped its downpour.

They were kids around 7-8 years old and knew nothing much apart from playing.

On entering the park, they were instantly surrounded by luscious green-dew covered grass. The water droplets on them seem to radiate the same happiness as the kids with shining light and tiny rainbows embedded. The slides, seesaws, merry go round and swings each were trying to grab the attention of them, trying to attract them to play. Swings were swinging along with the mild breezy wind and merry go round moving in a small circle back and forth. Slides were glistening with remaining rain drops on them. Come on. Run to me. Let's play.

Kids immediately dropped their parent's hands and ran tumbling towards their favorite plaything to start their evening journey of play. Both of them rushed towards swings, and came to a halt beside the same one. Two of them held the chains and looked up at each other. Then towards the seat, then to one other's hands and finally again towards the other. Simply waiting in silence to see if the other will let go.

When nobody moved an inch, the two kids without uttering a word, decided to play with one another by taking turns on the swing. Though there were three other swings, both of them loved this particular one only. They started giggling and smiling with bright eyes.

The little one with black fluffy hair planted his butt onto the seat and turned his head back to the lean taller boy as if demanding him to push. The other boy with no choice, succumbed to the demand and started pushing him.

As and when the swing came down, the chubbier one asked to be pushed higher. Poor taller one did as he asked. Then they interchanged and played for some more. They went about all the things on the park and very soon got exhausted. After all they were kids.

Giggling and laughing, both of them splayed on the moist grass with their head touching one another. The taller boy was very shy while the chubbier one was outspoken.

"Hey, do you come here daily?"

"Sometimes. Do you?"

"Hehe.. I come here many times. My house is just over there. See?" The little fellow pointed his chubby finger in the direction of his house. Obviously one cannot see the house as there is a long road with multiple buildings on either side. But sure enough the taller one just nodded his head and laid back down basking in after shower sunrays.

"You know, my parents tell me not to speak with strangers. Hehe. But I played with you." >.<

(/ Q .Q )/ Seriously kid!!! The other one is also your age and you played with him for such a long time!

The lean fellow just gave him a side long glance and returned to view at the bluish white, just out of the paint, clouds.

"You know, I love eating chocolates and chips. Cheetos and kitkat are my favorite ones. What are yours?"

"Hmm... I like Lays and snickers."

"Ooh... I love them too... hehe..."

"You know, my school is also there. Look." He pointed his chubby finger to opposite direction now. Once again, the seemingly matured one nodded.

"I love to draw. I will show you when I come here again. You will also come right?"

"Yeah."

"Okay. Oh, my mom is calling me. Gotta run. See you again later. Tata."

"Bye."

Very soon they met again and played a couple of times then forth. As promised, the chubbier one showed his drawings to the other kid and soon became sort of good friends. Though other one usually keeps quiet and sticks to himself, that was not a problem as chubby speaks enough for both of them.

One day lean boy told his bestie that he will be soon moving out of town. The chubby one on hearing this, felt salt and tears pricked at the corner of his eyes.

So next time when he met him again on the park for their farewell, he prepared a cute drawing of two them on the swings, swinging happily. The drawing was not a perfect one, showing that a kid has drawn but depicted a true friendship and emotions despite being messily drawn. The taller one also had to give a gift right? So he gave his most precious treasure, his bracelet. It was a sterling silver set with alternating round ruby gem stones and sapphires bracelet.

"Wow. So pretty. I will keep this safe, don't worry. We will meet soon right?" The shorter one had tears brimming his eyes.

"Don't cry. We will meet definitely. Don't forget me."

"Uwu..... Best friends forever?" A tiny chubby pinkie was extended for a pinky promise. Soon a slender finger wrapped around the tiny one and the seal was complete. Both of them hugged and were unable to hold back their tears.

They were then separated by their parents pulling them apart and only wished would meet again very soon. The little one was crazily waving at his taller counterpart with tears still streaming down his cheeks.

"Aiya. I still don't know his name." This was the thought in their minds when they no longer could see one another.

"See you soon baby."
