Nothing is changed in these two years, time is at its own pace. It seems everything is like how it was before I experienced your presence.(4 years ago)
No call ,no message, no visit, just as you used to be stranger for me at that time, even today.
In these two years perhaps I had only once seen you standing near the gate of your house. Now where I am also the same as I was? I do such jobs of awaring the world, that I am unaware of myself.
Your phone was switched off when for the last time I called you. I thought that maybe the missed call alert is active. May you call me back and ask why the phone was done. The fear made me to kept off the phone for a few hours.
Fear.... these fear have been at all times to you, your scolding about every matter as if I'm your student. For missing your call,for sleeping early,for not replying your message,for overeating,for overusing mobile........ your anger forbidden all these things for me.
Why?Ah! I don't know. I haven't given you a gift till date which is very necessary in such cases because I don't know what gift is given to girls.
And yes my relationship with you started when we didn't have our own phone. And by the time I got a phone with a front camera, so much distance has come between us that even the longest selfie stick cannot take our photos in a single frame.
So it was not possible to upload the selfie and put smile on the side of the smiling lips with the hashtag...
Now I have gradually learned all this, and when I changed me as the way you like, you are the only one not present.
It is not like that I always ponder on your memories. I just smile sometimes remembering all those madness, but after a few years in life when I would be undoing the pages of the time ,sitting in my balcony, the person whom I will remember the most would be YOU and YOU.

Still yours,
Shikhar
