A new journey began with me and Abhimanyu becoming the best friends. Summer
began with longer evenings and shorter nights. We all used to go for a walk in
the evening. Our walking group included me, Abhimanyu, Arjun, Meet, Shreeji,
Hany, Megha and Margina. We would have food in the mess and than we would go
out for a walk. It never used to be a long walk but ya the most memorable walks
of my life. If I had any adjectives to describe it I would rather say it in the
Nicholas Spark way...'Walk To Remember.' Because all these were the moments
which brought me closer to Abhi.
'So you had your dinner?'
Abhi asked me as we walked along the deserted road behind our hostel ground.
'Nope.'
'I knew it, and I also know
you keep eating this outside food all this junk. Its not good for your health.
I know the mess food tastes like shit but you know we have to manage it some or
the other way.'
'I know Abhi but its very
difficult for me. I just cant adjust with the food over here.'
'Ok no problem we will
discuss it later now lets walk'. As soon as he said this his hand caught hold
of my waist and we were walking together with me staring at him like a freak as
he kept on looking at the stars in the sky above. The nearby world reduced to
zero and I was just in some other world. I didn't realize what my heart was
feeling than or maybe I just ignored it.
On the way we would all end
up drinking sugarcane juice or orange soda and sometimes even that ice gola
thing. We were all enjoying every bit of our life than it seemed that life couldn't have been more better. What I didn't know was that the memories which
were taking me to heaven are going to make my life a living hell just few
months later.
Time went on as we came
closer and closer. He too was from Ahmadabad so we used to go together in
the train and come back in the bus together.
I used to share each and
every problem of mine with him. And he always ended up solving it. I never
realized when it was that I fell in love with him, maybe that was my first
mistake. Had I known that I was falling for him I would have stopped our ever
progressing relationship.
I still had no idea about my
feelings for him. I just thought we were friends just good friends. He was
always with me in every situation, whether I was admitted in the hospital or I
ended up having terrible fight with my friends. He tolerated me in every
condition all my temper tantrums, my mood swings almost everything. I could
never get a better friend than him.
I had never imagined in my
wildest dream that we could ever get apart.
But as people say time
changes everything and ya it did its work quite well.
