LOVE HAPPENS....

Best Friend

Today is the day i must meet her, no college...not much work to do.

"Geethaa!!!"

"Yes,ma!"

"You have any plans to go out? Can you drop me at the temple?"

"Sure, ma!! am all yours"

This me geetha, what am i doing? i dropped my mom near temple and automatically am going towards the hospital.

"hi, Neelima"

"Hi, Geetha"

" how are you?"

"Am meeting her after three days. Neelima is listening to the music."

Just then the doctor came and looking at her file...he said " you look fine, all u need is confidence, u must start walking."

As the doctor left the room, we both were busy talking to each other about the college, food, doctors, nurses and hospital. It was noon. So, i left the hospital saying bye to Neelima.

Usually, my college ends by 3:15pm. So, i thought of reaching hospital the very next day. When i reached there, physiotherapist was there. I encouraged neelima to walk. So, slowly she tried to walk few steps. Her parents were quite happy to see her walk.

I was going regularly to her and started encouraging her and started explaining her lessons which was taught at the college. Neelima also got admission in the same college but could not able join as she was in the hospital and first year for all of us the subjects were same.

Looking at the improvement i requested neelima parents to speak to our principal to consider neelima's case. As education is very important for everyone, our principal was ready to help neeelima to write exam for the year without attending the classes.

Now, neelima could able to walk with the help of the walker. She writes her projects and submits through me. Shaifulla, promised that he will shift to some other college next year such that neelima will not have any problem to study and finish her education.

It was sunday, am near the neelima bed reading my book. Neelima went to washroom. Just then a phone rang. " geetha, please lift the call" Neelima is screaming from inside.

A shrill loud voice....

"neelu"

" Am sorry! am her friend speaking here"

"oh! u are her friend? what for? spoiling her future. Don't your parents teach you good things?........."

Oh my God!!! who is he? why is he screaming at me?

I kept the phone. my eyes were filled with tears. every encounter with the man is same. How voilent they are?

"who was it, geetha?"

Looking at the phone " oh! that was my brother. Never mind he will call again. He loves me alot and he is quiet upset with my act"

"Hmmm.....ok i have to leave now neelima, bye"

ok! bye!

Am driving back to home and all my thoughts were around the call.

"Iam a simple person who love my parents alot and never encourage such things and i don't believe in love itself."

"Neelima is my Best Friend,now"

"I must just concentrate on my studies and help neelima to finish her education because it is very important for any woman in life."

Good News!!! Neelima joined college and shaifulla shifted to another college in some other place. I respect shaifulla for that.

Days were passing and we had campus selections and we were posted in bangalore. Shaifulla got his postings in hyderabad but he went to U.S.A. for further education.

Me and Neelima to totally new city and new language and to different places in the city..........
