    "Sam... It's getting late..  it will take at least one hour to reach the airport..."

I stand up half minded from his bed.. I sit down again the next instant , tired of my inner conflicts...

  He eyes me , leaning against the couch... " Sam... "

I look up at him...

He walks to me and takes my side ..

" Sam .. look at me.  "

His voice demands me at the same time it sounds like pleading...

I move away restless , ignoring him...

" Sam... It's not done..  talk to me ...please.. "

His voice is hoarse towards the end... I can feel ..he's too fragile now...

" I don't want to go Shravan... " I sniff to control the tears that are readily available to pour down...

" Then , don't go...".  He holds my hand ... His eyes literally cling with  mine...

My eyes gaze upon  him , frozen...

I  know how hard it's to leave your loved ones...

" wish I could stay  here  "  I  check my passport and other papers.

   Unable to conceal my tears , I get up to  wear my shoes.... " Let's move shravan"

He stares at me .. His eyes ask me  if I am  stonehearted ....

I breath out deep .. God only knows what I  am going through at present..

" Don't look at me like this Shravan...Please!!!"

I flinch in low tone , looking at the ground...

 He laughs out loud .. Approaching me , he wipes off the thin smear of moist from his eyes...

" Sam .. this  does not suit you.. scold me .. call me quirky.. punch me.. even you can  hit me to death .. I will accept all these happily.. But, tears and Sam.. ?!?! aweeeeeeeee...  it does not make a good pair.."

He teases me clearly..  I turn to smile to witness his  gestures that are witty. 

 
" Shravan... You're.... you're...."

I stammer , punching him at his stomach ...

" Spit it out Sam...I am ?"

He demands me to complete the sentence...

I pout..  " you're such a quirky man..."

He winks ... " That's like my Sam..."

He states  - my Sam...

It happens between us with ease what is actually a difficult one to take over charge on others with all rights.. That's what the uniqueness of our relationship... 

I smile extending my hand to him... " You're my bestie Shravan... Forever Bestie. .."

He grasps my hand ... Shaking gently ,he mutters ..  " I wish we are forever besties..."

We seem to be lost into the wonders of the magic which we believe that we already had fallen down...

We reach the airport an hour earlier...

As we have already boarded the luggage we have enough time to talk with...
