The Stalker

#37 Friendship

Always your family is the strength of yours,
As I returned and narrated them the small accidents and wonderful thrilling experience, with some heavy warnings and good appreciating; they all showered me so much of love......
With their support, I finished my final year project in a great way!
Rakshita and me prepared for the semester exams with a good plan, and today is the last exam....

My sweet mother promised me to prepare my favorite sweet pongal at afternoon, My father promised to buy me a Stephen Hawking book – A Brief history of time. I promised to buy my brother a bike with my savings as he is also finishing his final year...

Hoping in father's bike and revising all the things mentally, I took my phone to check for HIS messages...
Last night I asked him to give me a gift as I am finishing my degree. No reply after that....
Still No reply...
I made my phone in silent and bid bye to dad; Rakshita came along and we both started to revise some more concepts....
A very silent exam hall, got disturbed with paper turning and pen running on sheets....
Effort of whole year ends here in this point...
I finished the exam 15 minutes prior ,10 minutes ran as I checked the answer sheets for any mistakes...

As Always I was busy with my chemistry , I never got time to think about something else....
But tomorrow morning I don't have any commitment with my love "Chemistry, Entrance exams has good time in middle....
Last 5 minutes ,I just got to see the whole class as I was sitting at the last bench..
A journey of 4 years with many developments and learning going to end today, "LAST DAY"

Mixed emotions started to flow in my nerves making my eyes unknowingly got some wetness at it's corner...
First day of the college, Completely blank and hopeless.... Even in this last day of the college, that blank and hopeless is there in my mind....
This chemistry which lifted me up and showed my self to me will be traveling with me for my life time,
but the teachers and gang which helped me to learn that chemistry, which supported me and encouraged me will not be with me anymore....
Am I ready to leave the wonderful soul's I met here in the collage, behind and move forward? Am I?
I don't know why my mind suddenly clouded with fear and unknown sadness...

Invigilator collected our papers , I came out along with my class mates, Rakshita joined me...
Every one was silent, this silence is little unusual for our class...
Always shouting and making fun of each other.......

We moved towards our department building, we know we must submit our ID Cards and collect the Alumni cards...
All our silence broke out into little cry as we entered into our lab... The same place where we all met first day....
All hugged each other; there is no difference of topper, looser or girls, boys or anything between Friendships... It knows only love & Care....

As my professors came seeing us, they too even hugged us, no words was there to console each other, it's not easy to give up something we held strongly for 4 years.... Everyone slowly started to get recover from the grief as one of the parent came to fetch their daughter.....

It was really hard to give away that ID card, as it remained as necessary accessory of us for a very longggg time.... , After a slow talks and promises to meet during the result day we all moved out from the department building...
I started to walk with Rakshita, we both had a very silent walk. I called my father to pick me up....
I turned to see smiling Rakshita, I asked her "Why are you smiling now?"
She again smiled and told me, " I hope from tomorrow we won't be discussing about the study plan, hope to discuss any tour plan!"
I too got smile, hearing her. I made my hand wrap on her shoulders...
"Sure, we can go for a tour.... But you will be going on a honey moon soon right?!!!"
She blushed, her marriage is been fixed on April 16....
All the marriage plans are already going in a good way!!!

"I will miss you!" She told me from no where.... Again the tears threatened to flow again...
I joined my hands with her...
"We both will miss our old "Sincere Studying US" but not our friendship "I told her with a confidence as I know she will travel with me forever....

My phone ringed, Its from my father..."Yes dad!" I told in a good voice hiding my cried dry voice.
"Your Romeo is coming there to pick you, come with him" I smiled at his note...
"Ok pa, bye!" I disconnected the call,

Two bikes halted in front us making us jump from our places...
We both got smiles as soon as we got to know who it is,
"Prabhu anna and my dear Romeo"
We hoped in their bikes, It the first time we are traveling in bike, mostly it is car....

Prabhu anna and Rakshita moved in different road in mid of the travel...
Bike stopped near to the ice cream shop, the same shop where we met after the day of bride seeing ceremony...

He hesitated to remove his helmet, as I gave a please look, It's been a month I saw him...
I was busy with exams; he was busy with some works...., He removed his helmet showing his face which was covered wit 75% of beard....

I know how hard his work, but was not expecting this "Stone aged man"
He gave a helpless look, giving a comb to his beard using his fingers, making me laugh more...
He gave a glare, making me silent...
We got settled in the ice cream shop,
"I was angry on you, for not replying me, but I forgive you for you're this beard" Saying these I pulled his beard, making him flinch...
"oh, then I hope you don't need your gift I arranged to wipe your anger" he said coolly...
"Hey, no no, I am still angry, tell me where is my gift?"

" It's a surprise waiting for you in our home at Salem" He told make me more curious...
I showed all my 32 tooth seeing the ice cream served...

Finishing my ice cream and stealing few spoons from him, we bid bye to Ice cream shop.....
Coming out, I asked him what is the surprise waiting for me in the home?

He with his handsome smile, " Surprise is not be revealed.. Patience Miss. Sundaram"

I thought for a second why he is suddenly calling me Miss. Sundaram

Yazhini Sundaram

Surprise even for us!!!
