My Friendship...My Life Marked

Souls linked

2016.....New generation....modern life...fun and entertainment....but most importantly friends.

Throughout our whole life, we meet several people, some leave us and go away while others simply stay just as your shadow would. They mock at you and console you, they get angry and pacify you when you are furious. They are bothered about you just like your parents and you would never need to be a grown up in their company. Those special people are called your friends. No, they are not fake friends, but true ones, those who stay in your heart no matter where you go or no matter how many years pass by. These guys just stay on your mind during your whole life. They are the only ones with whom you can relax and just be your true self.

''They are not like us'', I said the first time I saw the repeaters, batch at tuition. They were older than me, just by a year or two , but for me, they seemed to be alien. I felt uncomfortable when they were around me. They were strangers who would talk among themselves, excluding me from their discussion. I never said a hello nor did I smile. They would stare at me and I would respond the same way. It was an awful time for me, only at that time. I would always wish for time to go extremely quickly so that I could get home, away from them, as soon as possible. ''They are so dumb'' , were my first words on seeing them.

Time passed by, just a few months, and when I woke up one day, I urged to go to that tuition. I wanted to see them. I could not wait. Tuesdays became my favorite days of the month. In class, at school I would keep staring at the clock waiting for it to strike 2.30 when the bell would ring. I would run till the bus and after alighting from the bus I would walk quickly to my tuition classroom.

''Hi guys! What's up?''

A quick shake hand, lengthy talks and jokes throughout the whole explanation and 'group work' during tests. With the passing days I never realized how close I became to them and they to me. We would go mostly everywhere together, celebrating birthdays, playing pranks on others, copying homework and acting like crazies. I spent most of my time chatting, texting or calling them any time I wanted and this was reciprocal as even they would do so. We became partners in crime and shared our every happiness and sorrow.

Today, the 30th of September 2016, it has already been 9months since I know these wonderful people whom I call my bestfriends. Unfortunately, due to the examinations we will not be able to meet like before as the tuitions end and everyone is going to concentrate on the important exams. Today, while saying goodbye to them, as I do everyday when we meet, I felt a deep ache in my heart. I was shocked by the fact that I could not bear this separation.

''We'll miss you'', they said, and on hearing that, I felt drops of tears rolling down my cheeks.

I miss you all too......
