The Best Friends

One morning 25 April 1996 as usual this day too i woke up but that day i was feeling different .I woke up and looked at me in the mirror and though that i saw that i have changed fully and looked like i have not slept for days and there are dark circles under my eyes and when i was looking in the mirror my mother shouted at me.

'Stop staring at the mirror.it's you no any other' and then my phone rang and it was Tina my school friend and it has been years to talk and i spoke.

'Hello, Tina'.

'Hey . Buddy whats up.

'Nothing man. I just woke up

she said in a hesitating mode .'how are you doing '

I felt something different because as my friend always said' Oye . . .Moron . . .' and i missed that time as Tina was my true friend and we shared every secret but she never said to me like that.

'I am doing well' . as i answered after a pause.

'We are planning a get together of all the friends would you be there'.

I told 'no i wont be able to come i had to go market with my mother and i am so sorry for that'.

Let me take you to my past.

I and Tanya were best friends and we all got a prize for our friendship in collage everybody in collage knew us as twins . we wee famous in whole collage .Sadly when we were in last year of collage Tanya become sick ans she was suffering from cancer and i lost her before our collage was over,I was so depressed after it because she was my life line and we were together since school time and in the last year of collage y marks were decreased and since then after some years i was in Troma and it many months to recover .

'She took many things with her my happiness confident and that smile that would heal everything, There nobody to whom i could tease. I had lost the beautiful friend who would always say you can do it.

she is the best person i have met.

now i had left only one friend Rahul he was a college in my company.He had helped me a lot to overcome in my depression. But my mother don't like him she never allows me to meet him.

Then one day she started scolding me that i mt a boy.

'Nancy, come here i want to have a talk with you,my mother called me.

I was very scared that why she wants to have a talk with me then i made my mind and said.

yes, Mom coming i answered.

My mother started scolding me. ' why are you always meeting a boy, named Rahul.

'Mom he is only my friend left i even don't have any friend'.

'what about your old friends'.

'They only have sympathy on me and nothing else'.

That day i said everything whichever was in my mind without thinking anything.Even i don't remember what i said.I just spoke out everything.

My mother was too surprised because i had never told her like that.The sentence i said changed my mothers mind and from that day my mother never said me to not meet him and that day changed everything. I realised a thing that there are too many obstacle in my life. then the phone rang and it was Rahul.

'Hello,Nancy'.

I said hi Rahul what's up.

'Nothing. just well'.

'Will ,you come to my house '. i said .

'For, what'?

"No just we all friends will have a party".

Yes, 'i would come'.

And then in the party we all were enjoying and was having fun and then Rahul asked me for a long drive as i also said yes to him but afterwards i realised that i would have said no to him. on the way in the night at 1:00 am we were alone on the road no cars, no motorcycles.

suddenly'when we were just enjoying the drive he spoke to me.

"Are you feling good her with me".

yes, i am.

"yes know i just wanted to tell something to you but i never spoke that."

suddenly,the truck came and some miss happening happened.

I was not injured much but Rahul was bleeding much and i just called the doctor and they took him to the operation threatre and i was too scared. after some dressing i was fine but Rahul got a serious injury but at last he was saved and when i went to the room he was resting he had so many bandages i was scared and then i spoke.

"You wanted to tell me something.

"Yes , please think over i wanted to say that i really love you".

"I love you too". Rahul.

when he was discharged from the hospital we both talked to our parents first they denied but afterwards they told yes and we both were too much happy and this is the only thing in my life that was without obstacle and then we were married .

We both lived a happy life after we both loved each other a lot and faced problems and this was the best decision of my life.Everybody who meets us always says that we both are just like"Romeo and Juliet". How the days passed on .it is like we just have meet yesterday and we both started loving each other and got married and now we are living a happy life.

I just can thank god for giving me such a wonderful life.

Thanks god
