Friendship

" Ahh.. I don't know, education and books are already the arch nemesis of my happiness..."

" I can relate to this to an extent. But I do love to read books which are defientely out of the radar of my syllabus."

She looked at me carefully once, and said

" Actually you do have a typical scholar and good boy kind of look. Probably, for the goggles. "

" Is it? .. I don't know what to say in return.."

" You don't have to.. have an answer all the time. you can just enjoy being with a pretty girl. hehe"

" Ohh I must.. possibly the most beautiful I have ever seen.."

" Geez.. cheesy lines.. I could understand the effect of hostel life.."

I failed to hold my laughter..

we walked for few steps aheade.. an awkard silence build up between us..

So I break the ice ..

" Nishi.. you know when I was young.. my mind used to wander all the time.."

" like how "

" I mean I used to worried about a lot about my death.. what is there after the death kind of stuff. "

" Seriously.. when I was child I barely remember anything. except the day my mom left me.."

" ahm.. " ( I already know that fact her mother left her with hed father, when she was just six..)

" That day around 12 o clock my mother dressed up beautifully. before that she prepared lunch .. and told me that she will be back, from grandma's home. Usually I used feel comfartable in staying at home even back then in childhood. but that day, I litteraly sensed something negative in my heart. As if someone was whispering in my head , that don't let her go, somehow stop her. But my efforts that they went all in vain. I failed myself. So from that day I never saw her again. " I can see her eyes turns red bet not wet enough to call it tears.

Whenever I found myself in the situations like current scenario,my mind begins to work at least efficiency. So I had barely words at that moment to make her comfortable.

So I leaned my right shoulder towards her and grab the oppurtunity of a lifetime to give her a sidehug. This is the highest level of intimacy I am experiencing till now with a girl.

and I just whispered " Its okey.. no use to visit your past.."

She looked back at my eyes with an strange combination of emotions consists of agony affection and trust.. I can see it in her eyes..
